HEALTH IS THE GREATEST ASSET OF ANY INDIVIDUAL Georgia is a big state; she is a great state; she is a growing state; she is a state of wonderful possibili Jes and opportunities. Health is the greatest asset of an individual, community, county or state. Health, coupled with the nat ural resources of Georgia, opens up a most inviting field. To possess health we must constantly, vigilantly guard every approach of our unseen ene mies. The unseen and microscopic jerms, bacteria, bacilli are the things that take us away, that change us from a producing to a non-producing community. Malaria, hookworm, tu berculosis change and change quickly the balance from the credit to the 3 obit side of the ledger. . Disease is preventable in. a great measure and controllable in almost every case. It requires money and the employment of skilled assistance; It requires public interest and co-op sration. Georgia hg* ample law, not only ample but adequate law. The Ellis law provides a local option sys tern for a full-time health officer. Thirty-three of eur counties have pro vided for this; it is the right thing to do. Some of our counties have not taken full advantage, but they should All counties that have employed the right type of health officer and who have been liberal enough to put in the proper size unit have been well pleased and have saved many times the cost. Some counties, owing to bad financing and bad management of their affairs, are so badly in debt that they cannot in their opinion afford a health officer, who would, if the mat ter were brought to their attention put on a full-time health officer or a full-time public health nurse. This should and could be done in every county, a nurse would pay big divi dends; she would be worth much to all types of citizens, but especially to the poor, who cannot have a special nurse in their homes. She would be of untold worth and assistance to the physicians of a county. If our General Assembly would give us 6 cents or more per capita for next year and increase this 1 cent per year for seven years the State Board of Health could subsidise the weaker counties and give them enough money to enable them to put on a nurse at least, or possibly a part time health officer, both or better still, a full-time health officer and complete health unit. Would you not be willing to fire 12 cents a year to hare a nurse in your community upon whom yog could call, or a physician Who would look utter your children and your hornet day. one would; it seem* a foolish question to ask. Then may we ask in all se riousness why it is not done, why our county does not have it. why our school children are not given atten tion and our homes sanitary inspec tion? Why are our children not given free hookworm treatment, ty phoid inoculation and protected from diphtheria? Why are not the infec tious diseases quarantined and the spread halted? Why? sWe ask you again, WHY? A common drinking cup is danger ous. The common towel is a menace/to health. An open window bedroom helps; to keep one well. A walk in the open air every daj Is good exercise. Spitting on floors or sidewalks spreads disease. Clean hands before eating or han dling food is a protection. , ■ The typhoid season is here. It be hooves everyone to be careful about the drinking water and screen out the flies. It is not too late to tike the typhoid vaccine. Got yours today; it is furnished free by the State Board of Health to your physician. ‘ Tuberculosis is a house disease, using the word house to include our homes and work places. Ba<f housing conditions breed this disease. Out door workers, who are properly housed and few rarely hav e consump tion; fresh air and sunlight are its natural foes. In doing'' things 'that "are worth while, cooperation counts for much. In fact, it is almost everything. One person alone cannot transform a dirty and unkempt neighborhood into a clean and tidy one. But when the neighbors all pitch to and help, the job is easy and soon completed. Cancer is on the increase, we are told; this, notwithstanding many ad vertised cancer cures. There is no nich thing as a cancer cure; the only scientific thing to do for cancer is to have a competent surgeon remove the growth. Any lump should receive im mediate attention; delay is death. Tuberculosis in children is very oommon, but is not easily.detected; the children do not complain. The glands are quite often the point of attack. The old term, “scrofula,” is tuberculosis in the majoriy of cases The bacilli of tuberculosis travel alqn^ the glandular system by the lymphatic route to the lungs or elsewhere.
