HEALTHY BABIESI
JACOBI'S DEMAND
Nestor of American Physi-j
cians Denounces Conditions
Governing Motherhood.
ATT.ANTIC CITY. Jun* 6- Ch»- r
ifv’r cheei greeted Dr Atyraham Jacobi ,
a{ , he stepped to the front of the plat- j
form at the meeting of the American ]
Medical association and accepted the ,
gavel as the insignia of the highest of- _
flee In the country to which a physi
cian may be appointed in the line of his
profession. As this remarkable man o. I
$2 assumed the duties of his omce he
spoke with great feeling and said face- ,
titiously . ,
"I have been waiting for mor* than
SO years to get here, but now that I
have accomplished it, I am going to tell
what I intend to do. There are but a i
short feu years left to me, but In that ,
time I want to see the American people .
regenerated.
"At the present time mothers do not
want to nurse their babies because they ’
do not know any better. You can not
improve rm nature by any form of mod- '
ideation of milk and thousands and
thousands of children are being sacri
ficed annually on the altar of the modi
fied milk station.
Marriage Health Certificatea.
“We have got to have national legis
lation to compel the control of the |
marriage relation. My first work will (
be the appointment of a committee
which will take up the question of
health certificates before marriage, and
that if this is not done the American
people are doomed to he one of the ex
tinct races within the next century.
"In addition to the dissipation of the '
men who are unfitted to marry, there
are women who are Just as Incapable,
because they have violated the laws
of hygiene and health and are hourly
bringing into the world degenerates
that are sapping the life blood of the
nation. If it continues and there Is no (
government control the future destinies ,
of America will be controlled by the ,
descendants of the immigrant who is
far more moral.” I
He Attacks Midwifery.
The venerable specialist and "Nestor ,
of American Medicine,” as Dr. Jacobi
was referred to, criticised the practice ,
of midwifery tn this country. He said: ,
"America should hang her head in ]
Shame at the laxity of her laws In
Europe midwives are subsidized, and In j
some countries they are compelled to
take a college course, and are under ,
such restrictions that If they do not ,
perform capably their licenses are re
voked. Contrast this system to what
is done here in America.
“Midwives do as they please and in
New York at least 50 per cent of all :
Children are born without th* services
of a physician Is it not a marvel,
therefore, that so many women are tin ;
subjects of disease after childbirth?"

DIXIE BOYS' CLUB
NEEDS YOUR HID
Atlanta Public Asked to Donate
Liberally to Expense Fund
for Big Outing.
The Dixie Roys club needs $2,000 to
provide for its outings this year, out
ings Ift which 1,000 boys will share who
might otherwise spend all their sum
mer In the hot and dusty city streets.
The directors have subscribed S7OO to
ward the fund, and the Atlanta public
is asked for the remainder
George ('. Dorr, who founded the first
boys club and is the best known work
er among the youngsters in the South,
is superintendent of the new organlza -
tlon, and Dr. Joseph Jacobs is chair
man of the board of directors. There's
no sectarian line in the club; a boy is
not asked whether he Is Jew or Gen
tile, Catholic or Protestant; it isn’t a
Sunday school. It's Just a big club for
the youngsters who sell papers or run
errands or work In stores, and for those
who merely play. It isn't for the aris
tocrat and it isn't for any other "class."
It's for all boys who want to Join and
who'll promise to behave.
T. K. Glenn, the treasurer, will re
ceive any donations sent him. It Is
planned to establish a camp at Silver
Lake, with competent men In charge,
and to give the boys of Atlanta a
chance to get away from the alleys and
street corners, the loafing places and
the temptations which draw them be
cause they have "nothing to do."
