TUBERCULOSIS
SPREADING IN
ATLANTA
Women. Especially the House
keepers. Are Most Suscepti
ble to White Plagu.
■
The semi-annual report of the free
elinic of the Atlanta Antl-Tuberculosls
society shows that white plague is in
creasing rapidly in Atlanta. Against
275 patients who received treatment
during the six months prior to April,
1912, are 424 who received attention
during the past six months.
Following the trend of general sta
tistics on tuberculosis female patients
outnumber the males. About 247 fe
male patients were treated to 177 males,
adults 329, children 95.
Classified according to occupation,
housekeepers and school children lead
the list. Ninety-seven housekeepers
were given attention and 56 school chil
dren. Mill employees follow, with 35,
and factory employees with 28. Milli
ners, teachers, telephone operators,
teamsters, boilermakers and wood
workers trail the list with two from
each occupation.
16 to 35 Dangerous Age.
Strangely enough, persons between
the ages of 16 and 35 appear to be most
susceptible to the disease. Statistics
Show that 167 patients between those
ages were treated against 127 under the
age of 16, and 130 over the age of 35,
Mies Lowe, secretary of the society,
who compiled the statistics, said that
the preponderance of women patients
was due to the fact that women are
more amenable to treatment. Many
men, she said, were walking the streets
with consumption and did not know ft.
"With larger quarters," she re
marked, "we could handle more
tlents, and wo should do it. The great
est trouble we experience Is In keeping
track of patients after they have been
given relief at the Battle Hill sani
tarium. The hospital Is always crowd
ed and the city 1s forced to turn pa
tients out as soon as temporary relief
Is effected. For this reason we should
keep track of the patient and continu
ally administer treatment. ’’

TOO MUCH MEAT
Medical Reports Show That Peo
ple Who Eat a Great Deal of
Meat Are Susceptible to Ty
phoid Fever.
The death rate of typhoid has been
10 per cent for many years. Even if
the patient recovers, there Is danger.
A weakened constitution, languidness,
loss of energy, and other ailments di
rectly due to the effect of typhoid.
Xn a majority of eases typhoid fever
is directly traceable to an inactive
liver which has refused to purify the
mass of meat particles left undigested
in the alimentary canal. This mass
putrefies and sends out death dealing
poisons, so that the patient suffers an
attack of typhoid fever which could
easily have been avoided.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is the great
est known liver stimulant. Its action
Is gentle, yet effective. It draws the
water to the alimentary canal, flushes
the bowels and takes the undigested
meat particles out of the body, remov
ing the danger of fermentation. The
blood will be purified through the re
newed activity of the liver and you
will feel like i new person.
JACOBS' LIVER SALT Is better than
calomel. It does not cause nausea and
vomiting, there .ire no serious after ef
fects as with calomel, and it is effer
vescent and pleasant Don’t take an
Inferior substitute. Some stores maj
offer other preparations upon which
they make larger proms, perhaps imi

BABIES DYING IN U.S.
AT RATE OF 1,000 DAILY;
HALFCOULD BE SAVED
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.—Babies
and school children held the attention
of the Congress of Hygiene and De
mography in its session here today.
A paper of absorbing interest, deal
ing with Infant mortality, was read by
Edward Bunnell Phelps, editor of The
American Underwriter, New York city.
The subject of medical Inspection for
public school children was taken up in
most able form by Dr. Helen McMur
chy, of Toronto, Canada, and Dr. Wil
lard S. Small, principal of the Eastern
High school, Washington, D. C.
Editor Phelps made the interesting
statement that 55,000,000 babies are
born into the world every year. But,
on the other hand, 15,000.000 of them
die before they reach the age of one
year.
This means that about 40,000 babies
die every day in the year, or on every
other tick of the clock an Infant life
goes out. To this terrible harvest of
infant lives the United States contrib
utes 1,000 a day.
"There are the best of reasons for be.
Ilevfng,” said Mr. Phelps, "that at least
50 per cent of the world’s infant mor
tality is readily preventable, and the
civilized countries are Just beginning to
awake to that fact.
Crusade Making Rapid Progress.
"The present broad crusade for the
reduction of infant mortality,” added
Mr Phelps, "dfctes back scarcely five
years, and can nw be regarded as lit
tle more than n promise of the whole
sale movement which is to come. Three
International congresses for the discus
sion of the subject have already been
held In Europe, a permanent Interna
tional association with similar purposes
has been organized, and all hold out
great promise in France, Belgium, Ger
many, Holland, Groat Britain, the
United Htetes and other countries. The
movement luus made exceptional prog
ress In Geramny.
“Mothera should suckle their children
as God intended,” declared Dr. William
XL Davis, vital statistician of the health
department of Boston, in the course of
an address.
"Os babies reaching the age of two
weeks," said the doctor, "one in five
dies before a year old if bottle fed.
while if breast fed only one tn 80 fails
to reach the one-year mark. This means
that the death of these infants would
be 60 per cent less than they are today
If nil babies were breast fed.”
Dr. Davis said the women of Norway
and Sweden suckle their babies when
ever possible, and for that reason those
two countries have the lowest rate of
Infant mortality of any countries in the
world.
The hookworm was the chief topic
discussed late yesterday. The ravages
that this pest has made In Porto Rico
and the effective campaign the United
States has made against it, was de
scribed by Dr. Bailey’ K. A/shford, man
ager of the medical corps of the United
States army at Ran Juan, Porto Rico,
hi an Interesting address.
Wiping Hookworm Out.
Dr. Ashford said the Porto Ricans
had been exposed to the ravages of
the hookworm for centuries, but since
the United States government had
taken hold of the Island this strange
post had been practically eradicated.
The physical condition of the Porto
Ricans, said the doctor, is now 60 per
cent better than when the government
began its campaign against the hook
worm about seven years ago.
Since 1904 over 300,000 victims of the
hookworm have been treated In Porto
Rico, and with complete success. There
remains about 100,000 more to be treat,
ed, but these cases are not aggravated.
Dr. Ashford took up the material
benefit that has accrued to the Island
of Porto Rico because of this highly
successful campaign against the hook
wonn. He estimated that the com
merce of the island had Increased at
least 400 per cent because of the en
ergy and activity of the native laborers
after they had been relieved of the
hookworm disase.
Talking on the subject of "Signifi
cance of Physiological Age in Educa
tion,” Dr. U. Ward Crampton, director
of physical training in the New York
public schools, delivered an Impressive
address to the congress. Dr. Cramp
ton held that physiological develop
ment rather than actual age should be
the standard of classification in the
ease of school children.
"From birth to maturity." he said,
"children develop at different rates—
some outstripping others in the race—
so that we find at the age of fourteen
about one-third who are already quite
men and women, one-third In a transi
tion period, and one-third quite Im
mature. The difference between the
mature and the immature is so marked
that it is astonishing,” declared Dr.
('rompton, “that the idea of separat
ing them for educational purposes has
never occurred to our school authori
ties The mature group are from 30 to
50 per eent heavier, 30 to 50 per cent
stronger and 10 to 15 per eent taller
than the immature group of the same
age.
The mental abilities show even a
more striking difference—the type of

as Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and

much better off and the percentage of
suffering greatly decreased," writes

memory’ changes from rote to asso
ciative, the. mental grasp is increased
by an influx of newly ripened instincts,
resulting from the change from an un
sexual to a sexual existence. The whole
gttitude toward life becomes attached
to manly or womanly things, and the
business of childhood is put behind.
All these changes occur about the time
the voice deepens, the second molar
teeth arrive and other easily recog
nizable signs of maturity’ appear. In
short, of those who are from twelve to
fifteen in age some are young men and
others are children, regardless of their
ages in years or progress in school.
"We find the same young men with
their ripened potential abilities sitting
on the same benches, taught the same
lessons and subject to the same dis
cipline as children, and the results are
quite as poor as they could naturally
be under these circumstances. The
fundamental fact that the mature and
immature are wholly different and
should receive different educational and
social treatment is disregarded. In the
elementary school the mature do badly,
In the high school frankly fitted to
their needs they do from 20 to 50 per
cent better than the Immature. While
It Is at this point the educational sys
tem on Inflexible basis of scholasticism
and chronological age breaks down, It
Buffers from a lack, of rational classi
fication where mature and immature
children are brought together in the
same class room.”
HURT WANTS HEALY
TO MAKE EVEN START
IN SKY-SCRAPER RACE
/ .... i .
That skyscraper race needs new rules
and a handicap agreement.
Joel Hurt, who has just broken
ground for his new office building in
Edgewood avenue, returned from New
York to read in The Georgian that the
race between the Hurt building and
William Healy's long-awaited struct
ure In Forsyth street was on and the
starters had left the post.
"That’s not fair,” he said today, "Mr.
Healy has had a big start on me. He’s
been digging that hole three years, and
the excavatlop 1s one of tho biggest
parts of the job. But I’m going right
ahead and maybe I can catch him,”
A committee of mutual friends, It is
reported, will wait upon Mr. Healy
and ask him to -withdraw his army of
engineers until Mr. Hurt’s excavation
is completed. Then, with both build
ers at the scratch, the word may be
given and the steal frames started up.

CHILO CHOSHED
BL fiUTO DYING
Girl Driving Coupe Which Hit
Alice Overby To Be Charged
With Carelessness.
Crushed by the wheels of an auto
mobile, twelve-year-old Alice Overby,
daughter of Mrs. W. G. Overby, 83 Au
burn avenue, lies, died at the Davis-
Fischer sanitarium in Linden street and
the body is being held at Greenberg &
Bond’s.
Hesitating between the curbing and
the street car track while autos bound
homeward from the theaters whizzed
about her at Peachtree and James
streets last night at 11 o’clock, the child
stepped directly Into the path of an
electric coupe driven by Miss Har
riet Cole. Before the little machine
could be halted both wheels passed
squarely over the child’s body. Injuring
her fatally.
According to eyewitnesses, including
Miss Graham, who was with Mrs, Over
by and the girl, the trio started across
Peachtree street,
Miss Graham stopped she says, to let
an electric filled with men and women
pass. As the machine whizzed by she
heard a short scream and found Alice
prostrate on the pavement.
Miss Cole, who was driving the coupe
said that she stopped long enough to be
assured that the child was not badly
hurt, and then drove home. The police
today will make a case against her for
reckless driving.
The injured girl was first removed
to the Grady hospital, but later was
taken to the Davis-Fischer sanitarium.
CONTRACTOR ASKS FOR
RETURN OF MONUMENT
UNLESS IT IS PAID FOR
MACON, GA., Sept. 25.—F. C. March,
man, trustee for the National Marble
and Granite Company of Marietta, Ga.,
has applied to city council for permis
sion to move from the public park in
front of the city hall the monument
erected last year by the veterans to
"The Women of the South."
The sum of $2,200 Is owing on the
shaft and there seems no hope of rais
ing this amount. The local Daughters
of the Confederacy and the club wom
en will hold a special meeting this aft
ernoon to decide on some means where
by the monument can be saved and
Macon spared the humiliation of hav
ing it moved to satisfy a claim.

CHICAGO. Sept. 25.—At the first of a

perintendent of compulsory education,
declared the greatest enemy of the little
citizen was child marriage.
He urged proper registration of births
and deaths, advocated the adoption of
Dean Sumner’s recommendation requiring
health certificates before marriage, and
asked assistance from members of the
league in ridding the city of stores adja
cent to schools that sell boys tobacco.
MADERO’S FOES IN
CONGRESS UNITE TO
FORCE HIM TO QUIT
MEXICO CITY. Sept. 25.—The anti-
Madero faction in congress, at a caucus
lasting through the night, voted early
today to oppose the president's appeal
for $10,000,000 to crush the various rev
olutions in Mexico. They declare they
will be able to muster enough votes to
defeat the government.
If they do so, Madero will be help
less and probably will have to resign,
as a former appropriation of $10,000,000
is exhausted.
Tuberculosis Remedy
Based on Medicine
To say that a specific exists for the
cure of Consumption is perhaps too strong
a statement, but in Eckman's Alterative
we have a medicine that has been the
means of saving many a life to years of
usefulness, and in permanently benefiting
a large number of Consumptives.
Certainly a person afflicted with a wast
ing disease should be well fed with
wholesome, nourishing food, but frequent
ly raw eggs in quantities cause a digest
ive breakdown, and then no food nour
ishes. As for milk, a very good food for
many, but a producer of biliousness for
some.
Any diet that keeps a Consumptive well
nourished is the right one, but what ts
going to improve the patient ? Eckman's
Alterative has brought about full recov
ery In many cases of Consumption. Let
those speak who know. Here Is one:

"Gentlemen: On June 3, 1907, I was
operated upon for Tubercular peritonitis
at St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, N. Y.
After the operation my physician gave me
up as hopeless. I was then urged by a
prieat to take Eckman's Alterative, which
I did. My weight at the time was 72
lbs. I began to Improve and steadily
gained in health and strength. I now
weigh 125 pounds, and am absolutely well.
Believing I owe it to myself and others,
I make this statement."
