LEGISLATORS SHOULD
MAKE INVESTIGATION
Will the low price of cotton and its
consequent depression of business in
our section of the country cause a
wave of economy that has potential
danger?
The matter of cutting down expenses
Js one to which every community and
every individual should give the clos¬
est attention. There is no question
that we have been living beyond our
means or beyond the point of sane
Judgment. Our people have had many
luxuries that they were really not able
to afford. This recklessness in the
expenditure of money has not been
confined to any special class; the rich
and the poor are alike guilty. The time
for retrenchment is at hand, and many
of us will wish that we had not spent
our money as we have. We must get
back to our former methods of living,
but in doing so we must not
by curtailing approved methods of sani
iation or the cutting off of necessary
twork in the preservation of the indtts
trial and community health. School
houses must be built and along witb
them sanitary closets; Malaria must
be controlled so that another crop can
e planted and harvested; Typhoid Vac¬
cine must be made and administered,
that this great scourge of our adoles¬
cent life may be averted; flies must not
be allowed breeding pieces and screens
must be put in to prevent the spread
of diarrhoea and dysentery. Proper
well balanced diet must be hud to keep
dp the resistance power of the indi¬
viduals and especially to avoid an in
grease in pellagra.
It is a very poor procedure to do
anything that will invite disease. The
least bit of lowering of our efforts to
supervise or do sanitary inspection or
construction is bad; tile cutting off of
public money in the municipality, coun
ty or state at this time would be a great
calamity. The curtailment of work of
commissioners of health for want of
funds under the guise of economy
would be very poor judgment; in fact,
as the necessary curtailment of home
and public expenditures is sure to in
crease the incidence of disease we
should have larger, much larger, ap¬
propriations for health work; the prob¬
lems are going to be more extensive.
The people are not going to be able
financially to lose the time from their
work to be sick, and the loss to the
community cannot be afforded during
the financial depression, therefore we
urge all interested to see that all health
work is continued; see that your own
home is sanitated, your water supply
properly protected. See to it that vout
neighbor does his duty to his family
and yours; see to it that your board
of health for county and city function
and that all boards of health have am¬
ple funds; this is one year that we
cannot afford to be* sick.

FREE POST-GRADUATE COURSE
GIVEN BY EMORY "UNIVERSITY
GEORGIA PHYSICIANS INVITED
The week of July 11 to 16, inclusive,
is one of the considerable moment to
the physicians of our State. Through
the kindness of Emory University a
week of intensive study of the* ven¬
ereal diseases has been arranged. Six
days with six periods each have been
agreed upon by tbe faculty. The fore¬
noons will be devoted to lectures by
the professors and from two o’clock
in the afternoons until night clinics
will be under way at all the hospitals
in the city, but especially at Gray
Clinic. Invitations have been sent out
to every physician in the state, and
when this article was written 300 had
accepted. The course is entirely free:
no charge whatever is made and the
prospect is that Atlanta will be the
Mecca for hundreds of our doctors for
the period mentioned above. It is a
wonderful opportunity. It is a possible
that reduced railroad rates will
be granted, and the chairman of
the convention bureau has the matter
of hotel accommodations under his
care. The Chamber of Commerce are
giving their attention to the matter,
and the Fulton County Medical So¬
ciety will be on the job to make the
stay of the physicians pleasant as well
as profitable.
Jhis Is the first time that a Univer
g*f -has arranged an Institute-Clinic
for venereal diseases, offering it free
to t/ie medical profession, and it is
f o be commended for its public spirit
in so doing.
PREVENTS MALARIA
There is a treatment that prevents
malaria and all those who live in sec¬
tions where mosquitoes thrive should
he sure to make use of it. Yd% should
consult your physician and get him to
prescribe the prophylactic treatment
and see that every member of the
family takes it. Get rid of the breed¬
ing places of tbe mosquitoes and screen
your homes.

GEORGIAS DEATH RATE:
LET’S MAKE IT LOWER
Georgia has no greater advertise
ment than her low death rate, for in
1921, of which year the mortality pi
certain months was audited by the
Federal Census Bureau recently, her
death rate was 10 per 1,0 0 popul.j__
I tion, while in 1920 South Caroiix
, showed 14, Virginia and Florida 13
and North Carolina 12, according to
the latest printed report of the Fed
eral Census.
Georgia is now in the registration
area for deaths. Her death rates will
be published by the Census Bureau
Her general, as well as her Tube
culosis, Cancer and other specific
i rates, are so low when compared with
the neighboring states that the rates
will be questioned.
Georgia has no greater pull for peo¬
ple or investments than her good
health as shown by her low mortality
rates, but these rates must be based
on records, the completeness of which
cannot be contradicted.
There Is a law in Georgia prohibit¬
ing the burial of any dead person
until a death certificate has been
| filed and a burial permit secured. The
j enforcement of this statute will pro
j ie»t Georgia’s records and will estab
dtb tktsg rates beyond question.
