Since Mrs. Sarah J. Hale wrote
President Linaoln to proclaim a

look to a fitting dignity of a

l’resinent Lincoln did not set the
last Thursday in November as
Thanksgiving, but his successor
did, and the dale has continued un¬
changed ever since
Thanksgiving Day now is some¬
thing more than a day when elab¬
orate tables will be set witli plenty
of good things to eat—it has
greater purpose und tilings attach¬
ed to it. The season suggests that
we may well say, “ L’hank you,
That does one good.
Man’s chief blessing—the pres¬
ence of an Infinite God who created
him, in Whom man lives and
moves and has his being, und to
Whom he again shall go,
Next to this saffred priviledge is
man’s brother man. Each one
should be grateful in the depts of
ois soul for friendship, for fellow¬
ship with those about, and tor the
opportunity of service, Amoung
life’s rarest blessings are those
which claim our devotion and our
share of the world’s work.
While in Salt Lake City we saw
a monument placed there by the
Mormons for their thankfulness to
God for the preservation of their
lives, llistor > tells us of how
pestilences devoured the crops
these people. In tt.is we see that
we should be thankful for adversity
more than prosperity. Why you
will ask? The best discipline
comes through adverse circum¬
stances. It taught the Mormons a
real lesson. It is a wonderful
•esson for a man to go there and
see how sacredly obedient to the r
Infinite Go.i. We judge it is some¬
thing similar to the trials of the
Pilgrims, where Thanksgiving Day
had its origion in America.
Go to the big lumber plant of
Morse Bros., at Helen, and you
will observe that the superior
lumber comes from trees that have
long been lashed by storm and

sides, grazing knee-deep in wild
oats, with no concern and no
achievements worthy of more than
passing notice.
Then men should be thankful for
hard work. The man who regards
his daily task as a cursed hardship
should have no respect of the real
man. Such a man needs to adjust
Ins program.
Not all of life’s blessitigs are
measured by health, fortune, posi¬
tion and honor. More often they
are the things which bring forth
and develop the fiber of the indi¬
vidual.
If we remember correctly, Christ
taught that time is a part of eterni¬
ty, that rewards and punishments
begin here and now. Then it is
iike President Harding said in his
Colorado Springs speach of July
1923, “The world needs more of
Christ.” We need to learn to see,
know and love the right, not
through fear of hell or hope of
heaven, but for the right’s sake,
and b cause doing right is the
secret of happiness.
With this Thanksgiving editcrial
vve wish to carry a message and
instill within the lives of our many
readers the habits of thrift and in¬
dustry, the disposition to live wise¬
ly and well, with peace, but not
contentment, and tj{% riches of
patience and perseverance, He
who loves God, his ffllowmans’
lives, honorably, and leuvss the
world better than he found it
knows the blessedness of gratitude.
Others are also grateful to him
for a well spent life.

Cotton was 35 :to in Nqiv York
Wednesday. Cotton will go
lrgher. Why? Several reasons.
England and Erance have averted
a break. Francs and pounds havfi
jumped upward with spell a speed
that the gamblpri on the bear side
are dizzy. Cotton mills are oper?
ated night and day, and then can’S
fill orders. Besides all these the
crop is short. Thanks to the boll
weevil. Why? Because if cotton
is produced in White County in
u)t 4 the producer must think.
Then isn't the bo’l weevil a bless¬
ing?
Begin to study now how you
will combat the weevil in your 1624
cotton. Have you a better method
than calcium arsenate? If you
haven't then use what the other
man’s brains have accomplished
toward the pest so far,
Carroll County farmers used
calcium arsenate. They produced
a bumbercrop. If you raise cotton
in 19I4 you must fight the weevil.

TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUM IS
PI L/LiLi TT T DIFIIT rWLvf H XlfiVU I’OTi
X
-
The State Tuberculosis Sanatorium
is full to Its capacity, every bed filled
and there is a large watting list of
patients who are badly in need of the
treatment given there.
This institution which is kept full
at all times, can take care of only 100
patients. There are at best estimate
30.000 tubercular persons, white and
black, In the State of Georgia today,
and the state furnishes only 100 beds
to care for Its tuberculars— at beat
only 300 persons can be treated in each
year. No beds are furnished by Geor¬
gia for the care of negroes—even
though there are two or throe times
as many negroes suffering with tuber¬
culosis, and these negroes come Into
direct contact with a very large ma¬
jority of the white children. Chll
dren are especially subject to tuber
culosis Infection. To protect the white
race from tuberculosis, there must be
Increased provision for the
and segregation of tubercular persons
of both races.
A Sanatorium for tuberculosis has
three functions:
1. To treat
2. To segregate.
3. To educate.
X. To treat those already the vic¬
tims of the Great White Plague — to
cure those that are curable — to allevi¬
ate the suffering of those not curable.
2. To segregate those persons who
are expectorating the germ of tuber¬
culosis—to present them from Infect¬
ing others.
3. To educate patients how to taka
care --------------- of themselves—to show them how „„„
to prevent infecting other persons— -to
mnke TTt nbn m missionaries Iaolrvnn elna to ♦ rt carry iVa the gospel
of good health and of hygiene to th*
relatives at home.
In order that the Sanatorium may
function in these three ways, the bed
capacity must be adequate. The Ran*.
torium at Alto is not Inadequate, but
the size of the Sanatorium at Alto is
inadequate.
Tq oorrect this inadequacy, the
Georgia State Board of Health has
formulated the plan to build a larger
and up-to-date Sanatorium to care for
at least 220 white persons, leaving tbs
present plant for the treatment of
negro patients.
This plan would require about $ 600 ,
000 Hi for for huttaw building fnM fund. -r- To finance 1
---- this
project. It Is suggested by the Board
of Health, that the counties furnish
either by public or private funds, one
half the cost. For example, the coat
per bed for the proposed Sanatorium
would be $2,500 —the county supplying
$1,250 for each bed.
The number of beds assigned to
each county has been worked out on
a basis of death from tuberculosis in
each county—one bed for every six
deaths In a county with 18 deaths—
thiB would mean 8 beds at a cost to
the county of $8,760. The State would
then be asked to match this fund with
an ■ equal equal amount. amount.
■Wherever this plan has been brought
to the attention of the counties and
their citizens, it has been received with
enthusiasm.
Unless some such a plan can be car¬
ried out, the fight against tuberculosis
will not bs successful. If every citi¬
zen would see the demand for this
larger Sanatorium and would call it 1
to the attention of their Senators and
Representatives in the next Assembly,
this plan would be passed favorably
and a great advance would be made
against a very real enemy to the pub¬
lic health of Georgia.
The warm weather brings with it j
the house fly. He has been accused
of much, and is guilty of all that has
been charged against him and then
some. You should do your share in
getting rid of this pest and mouses
to the public health and especially the
health of the babies.
The fly does carry disease, is filthy
and a general nuisance, so let’s do all
we can to swat him early and late and
destroy his breeding places.
With the fly comes the usual sum¬
mer diseases, dysentery, diarrhoea and
typhoid. The fly is responsible for
much of these. He is the carrier, and
as sueh U the cause of much illness
Screen against him and protect all
food, especially that eaten raw. and
milk from contamination. Many deaths
of babies can be saved by the proper
handling of milk and proper disposal
of human excrement. So many of our
diseases come from taking into our
stomachs human excrement that it
does seem that we would Install sani¬
tary closets and protect our food and
water supplies—but we are supposed
to be writing about the fly. SWAT
