THE LEADER TRIBUNE,
BELIEFS DON’T
ALTER FACTS
i
Fact* Are Stern—Why Not Know
Truth—Seek That Which I* Above
Price
i
You may believe that the
nium will or will not begin In the year
2000, but you must remember
your belief will have no bearing
the events that are in store for
year.
You may believe that the sun
rise tomorrow morning, hut its
will be governed by the laws regulat
jug the movement of the heavenly bod
ies and not by your opinion. Its
ing and your- belief ate merely
coincidents. You may not
I hat It will rain today, but you
have to borrow your neighbor’s
brella before night to get home
out getting wet.
You may not believe that there
jn the state of Georgia an
tion that is vitally concerned in
health and physical well-being.
the fact stands that there is such a
body. The offices and laboratories
this organization, the State Board
Health, are doing daily what is In
their power lo keep away from your
home that dreaded enemy, disease.
They are vilally interested in the pub¬
lic health of the citizens of this state.
You may not believe (hat for the
first six months of litis year- that the
State Hoard of Health furnished free
of cost to the people of Georgia more
than 48,000 doses of typhoid vaccine,
but their records show that they did.
You may not believe Ural they treated
without charge more than one thous
and patients bitten by rabid animals,
a large percentage of which would
have developed rabies had such Ireal
urent not been administered, but such
is their record. You may not believe
that this institution Is looking after
lire purity of your water supply, but
Ihe fact remains that they are ana
lysing duily numbers of samples of
drinking water for Ihe towns and cit¬
ies of (his stale, in order lo insure
their people against epidemics of ty
phoid and like diseases.
You may not believe tlrat the Stale
Board of Health is daily making ex¬
aminations of all kinds of specimens,
with a view lo diagnosis for the physi¬
cian so I hat they ran administer lire
proper trealment for your sickness, in
order that you can soon take your
place again at the w^eel, or in that
capacity which is your vocation. But
that is indeed a very large part of
their work.
Your belief will probably be most
upset when they tell you that, based
upon the second million lttett drafted
into the army, ottly one other stale of
all the stales of Ihe union showed a
larger per cent of venereal infections
than did your state, but as has been
said, your belief does not reduce even
by one the number so afflicted.
You ask what steps has your State
Board of Health taken to remedy
this condition. Representatives have
made lectures, have shown moving
pictures at various places in the stale
and have established clinics for the
treatment of syphilis and gonorhea in
the larger cities of the state. They
have instituted another phase of work
in their laboratories whereby examin¬
ations are made free of cost for syph¬
ilis or gonorrhea.
If there is the least suspicion of the
existence of either disease in your
body, go immediately and advise with
your family physician. Remember,
so long as the germs causing these
diseases are in your system, you are
sick and are not well.
Whatever your belief about other
things may be, you must believe the
universally known thing, and that is:
the building of a house, the gathering
of a crop, the security of the family,
the pursuit of happiness, liberty and
life itself depend upon health.

we can have a share in directing pub
lie opinion on these matters, in
actual efforts being made to close
places of evil resort, to help
a good time elsewhere for
and grown-ups; for it is useless to
“thou shall not do this,” unless
have something else that is
foi lliem to do. Just as no small
of ihe marvelous success of the
gram of selfcontrol and clean
in camps lias been because of
splendid i *w i cation facilities
there, and the wholesome
created by leaders who are not
good but good for something, so
civilian life tennis and boxing,
and good books, and
tilings to think about and do will
serve a similar high purpose when
made pari of a community program of
clean living.
Never before in the history of any
country has there been such an oppor¬
tunity for social progress, for social
justice, for Individual ideals as this
which faces our country at this time;
never before have the women and
girls of any country had such an
portunity to make their
so fell and their ideals counl for
much. It is time for a great “get

welfare. The responsibility is pecu¬

We are in tlnse days doing the work,
carrying some of tlie responsibilities
that men have heretofore shouldered.
Shall we shirk the higher
ity for civic progress and a true de
moeracy by which we, no less than
(hey, will benefit? Many of us are
commanding better salaries now than
we had before. This fact lias given us
a new status in our homes and in our
social groups a status which brings
the privilege of decision and the priv¬
ilege of greater freedom. The powers,
the influence that are born of this op¬
portunity—shall they not be devoted
to the development of a clean and
true democracy?
SCHOOL FOR BACK¬
WARD CHILDREN
ORGANIZATION SOON PER
FECTED
The home and school for I lie feeble
minded of our state Is now going
through (lie slate of organization.
The trustees of the Newton-Tutfle
Home have just deeded to the state
the property purchased from them
tor this purchase, and the governor
has finally turned this property over
to Hie State Board of Health, who will
have charge of the home.
The State Board of Health held its
first meeting and accepted the trust
imposed by the legislature Thursday
(he 21st of October. The board finds
that of the $100,000 appropriation
made by the legislature over $75,000
lias been expended in the purchase oi
the propetry and the necessary ex
pense of transfer and legal expenses.
The farm consists of over 300 acres
of land *near Augusta, With less
than $25,000 left of the original appro¬
priation it will be impossible for the
Slate Board of Health to do much, as
the farm will have to be equipped,
household and kitchen furniture
bought ugul much-needed repairs and
changes made in the buildings. With
an estimated feeble-minded popula¬
tion of 3 per cent of the whole, it will
be appreciated that this institution
will soon be one of the laregst in the
state, requiring many teachers and
attacks. The class of employees are
of the very highest type, and will of
necessity cost the state considerable
money. It is not known when the
school will be ready for opening: a
few high grade children may be taken
soon, but it is not likely that the
school proper can be run before an
other appropriation is made by the
legislature for its maintenance. The
executive officer is Dr. T. F. Aber¬
crombie, 131 Capiiol Square, Atlanta,
Ga.

merchant fills an important place in

period for the retail merchant when
prices begin to dfop. He needs yovtr \
