JUST SUPPOSE
Just suppose that a member of your family was.one of the
number of tuberculosis sufferers who died in Dade county during
tiie year that is coming to an end within the next two weeks?
Just suppose that you were one of the sufferers from this
dread disease, and that there was no place available for you to
receive proper care or treatment? These may be only suppo¬
sitions to you, but stark realities to your neighbor or some other
fellow citizen.
Sympathy alone, like faith, availeth nothing. Unless our
sympathy is so sincere that it provokes us to action, it is ineffect¬
ive and vain.
There is one way that now presents a means to show our
sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers of the Great White
Plague, Tuberculosis.
BUY CHRISTMAS SEALE, AND MORE CHRISTMAS SEALS,
put them on every letter, package or Christmas greeting cartl
that you mail, and they will make your own gifts more enjoya¬
ble to you, and a blessing to those who aty 1 laid low with a mal¬
ady that is sapping their life-blood away.
Our real Christmas Happiness will be measured by the man¬
ner In which we make others Happy. Let us answer the call of
suffering humanity, and BUY Christmas Seals without stint.

OUR MARRIAGE LAW EVILS
Following on the heels of Chattanooga’s disgraceful divorce
racket exposure, where marriages were annulled instanter, and
often behind closed doors of secret chambers of a judge who has
been operating a divorce mill for years, these same officials are
holding up their hands in horror, alledging they have discovered
a “marriage racket” being operated in nearby north Georgia
counties.
Offering this information, apparently, as an alibi for their
illegal and unholy divorce mills, they are asking that this “mar¬
riage racket” be stopped, to save them from their sihs.
Much publicity has been given the Ordinaries and Justices
fo Peace in Dade and Walker counties, Georgia, some just, much
ol it unjust. We admit Georgia’s marriage laws allowing easy
marriages, should be repealed or amended, providing for a wait¬
ing period of several days between the issuing of a marriage
license and the saying of the marriage vows.
But in connection with an amendment to provide this wait¬
ing pel iod, we are strongly in favor of making it compulsory that
before a marriage license can be issued, each of the applicants
be required to undergo a physical examinations by a reputable
physician, and be given a health certificate, stating that the
applicant is not afflicted with a venereal disease.
Passage of a law providing for a “waiting period,” and also
a health certificate before a wedding can be consumated, will
eliminate hasty marriages; and as Ralp McGill, able editor of the
Atlanta Constitution plainly expresses it, “will prevent some
slick poolroom pimp or some chippy-chasing city dude, in
session oi an active pos¬
case of gonorrhea or syphilis, to marry some
pooi girl who has been made drunk with booze or dope.”
A number of other states have enacted such laws, and they
have been successfully enforcing them for the past several
Alter remaining quiet years.
for several years while the divorce mills
of Chattanooga were daily grinding out divorces, against
of even
•some our service men who were far away on foreign soil giv¬
ing their lull measure of devotion to their homeland, the min-
lsters °f Chattanooga peacefully slept. Now that the
ol this divorce racket exposure
was made by members of the Chattanooga
ASS0Ciat !u n ’ these Same ministers are Passing resolutions
condemning rnnH this evil, and in their enthusiasm are reaching bey¬
ond state lines into Georgia, where they are “astounded” to learn
hat a so-called “marriage racket” is in operation. If distance
ends enchantment, the perspective beyond state lines evidently
enlaiges conditions found in our neighboring back yard-
