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.

WOMAN’S 8he Has It Absolutely In Her To Make Reform Shall We Have Such Progress? The government is asking of women and girls of this country they realise that “sowing wild is not a necessity, that makes for health, not against it. that prostitution shall come to an * Womean can stop prostitution taking a definite stand in this and by making a frank explanation that stand, they can help men to demanding it. Women can refuse associate with men who tend to come familiar the men will see the point. Girls can insist the men who offer them shall prove that they are fit. Men require that the girls marry be clean and fit to bear children Why should girls be particular about the fathers of children? This is the personal In the matter. Organized in clubs, trade unions, in church life—in ever community groups we 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 g.dher’’ on iliis mailer of our welfare. The responsibility is pecu¬ liarly upon women in this 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 merchant fills an important place in small cities, when he is prosperous the community prospers. He is the main support of all public enterprises and organizations. It is a difficult period for the retail merchant when prices begin to dfop.
