WHAT PERSHING SAID
ABOUT THE NEGROES
Rumors from overseas have persist
ently decried the efficiency of the
Negro soldier when led by colored of
ficers, the conduct of a division so
officered being cited as proof. These
men, it is said on high authority, not
only failed under fire, but their col
ored officers had to be court-martialed
for cowardice.
Pershing’s version of this story,
given to the white and colored men
who at the government’s request in
vestigated it, should be given as full
publicity as the stories emanating
from less distinguished sources. Any
officer, of any race, the commanding
general said, might well have failed
in the same way under similar cir
cumstances. The troops had been
brought near the front ‘to receive
several weeks of intensive training
before being put under fire for the
first time. But the Germans broke
through; and in the desperate need
these green troops were thrown in
the gap, along with every other man
available. Twelve of the colored of
ficers lost their heads, and were after
wards courtmartialed, though some of
them were acquitted on trial. Other
colored officers in the same division
were promoted for conspicuous cour
age in the same battle, and were
awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross.
Chemists Rid Doctors’ Favorite Med
icine of Nauseating and Salivating
Qualities—New Variety is Called
“Calotabs’.
A triumph of modern pharmacy
that is a blessing to the whole world
—that is the opinion of physicians
and druggists who are familiar with
the new, nausealess calomel that is
wholly free from the objectionable
effects of the old style calomel.
An occasional purifying of the sys
tem and thorough cleansing of the
liver are absolutely essential to health,
and, as all doctors know, calomel was
the only drug that accomplished this
result. Now that the unpleasantness
and danger of salivation has been en
tirely removed, the popularity of the
new calomel, Calotabs, will be vastly
increased. Its effect is delightful.
One tablet at bedtime, with a swallow
of water—that’s all. No salts, no nau
sea, no griping, nor the slightest un
pleasantness. You wake up next
morning feeling fine, your liver
cleansed, your system purified and
with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please—no danger of
salivation. No restrictions of habit
or diet.
For your protection Calotabs are
sold only in original, sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents. Your drug
gist recommends and guarantees them
by refunding your money if you are
not delighted with them.— (adv.)

There is more Catarrh in this sectior
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for yvears it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly infi_cnced by constitutional cone¢
ditions and therefore requires constitur
tional treatment. F .l’s Catarrh Medi
cine, manufactured by F J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional
remedy, is taken internally and actf
thru the Blood on the Mucous Surface
of the System. One Hundred Dollars re
ward is offered for any case that Hallt
Catecrh Medicine fails to cure. Send fo
airculars and testimonials.

Trimble St,
To the people of the earth the war
h_as brought suffering, anxiety, priva
lion, desolation, and destruction. But
as in the case of all wars some ulti
mate good must come. To America it
has brought a revelation and an
awakening. It has laid before our
eyes, and especially before us Geor
gians, a startling fact—one that we
must face in the eyes of our sister
states and the nations of the world.
The army reports based on the first
m?llion men drafted into military ser
vice, show that out of every 100 whites
there were 11 infected with one or
more of the Venereal diseases. The
negroes show an even higher infec
tion, 16 out of every 100. Georgia
ranks fourth to the bottom among the
states of the '‘union in the existence
of these diseases.
Now whence did these men come?
Out of Georgia homes they ‘came,
being called according to their selec
tion numbers. Now bear in mind the
cxamination of these men were made
at the time of their entrance into the
army service. What do such facts
prove other than that these diseases
were prevalent among those, and some
times unknowingly, who form an in
tegral part of our society, and their
wide-spread existence was brought to
light to the people as a whole by the
thorough medical examination of the
army.
In the face of such what shall be
our course? Since we have been start
led by such a revelation shall we
just accept such facts as statistics or
fhall we arise with the similar awaken
ing of the other states of our country
and do what we can to combat these
cnemies which are preying upon the
health of our citizens?
The Federal government has lead
the way in this direction by its mil
lion dollar appropriation for such
work. Last May the U. S. Public
Health Service furnished to the State
Board of Health the full time services
of a technician to do the Wassermann
work for the diagnosis of syphilis, free
of charge to any physician in the state.
On Feb. Ist of this year this work
was taken over by the State Board
of Health.
They are equipped and ready to be
of service to the sufferers of this dis
ease, through their family physician or
cpecialist. For such ones we feel that
it is not only their duty to themselves
but also to their family, community,
and state to go to a reputable physician
end lay the situation before him. He
in turn will give you sane advice as
to the prevention of further spread
of the disease which is often con
tracted by those who are altogether
‘anocent.
Likewise he will treat you and ad
vise you if suffering from gonorrhea.
The State Board of Health also makes
examinations of smears for the pres
ence of this disease. The duty of the
State Board of Health is to conserve
the health of the people of the state.
Toward this conservation they will
gladly serve them through their physi
cian. Later they will tell you some
thing about their work in the labora
tory.
STATE BOAKRD OF HEALTH.
Report Al Infectious Diseases
Apply For Bulletins And Blanks
Physicians are urged not to allow
their supply of blanks for making re
ports to the State Board of Health to
run out or get too low.
Infectious and contagious diseases
should be promptly reported as by so
doing a beginning epidemic might be
“nipped in the bud.” This is true of
many of the diseases that are not wide
spread. As an illustration of this we
might mention two cases of Typhus
Fever that we had to develop in one of
our counties recently. The cases were
immediately reported by wire to the
State Board of Health. A physician
was immediately sent, 4nd all examina
tions made. The necessary precau
tions were taken and.not a single case
developed—the disease was properly
handled and many lives as well as dol
lars saved.
Since this case has been mentioned
for the purpose of impressing the ne
cessity of reporting, it might be of
general interest to state that this par
ticular case was brought to our state by
a soldier. It is only transmitted by
the bite of an insect, and is generally
brought into this country in clothing
or baggage. The returning soldiers are
all being carefully watched for car
riers of Typhus, but some may elude
the close watc}-l that is being kept,
<o it might be well for all to have an
eve ‘out for any unusual disease, and
immediately notify the authorities.
Many of the infectious and contagi
ous diseases are so common that lit
tle attention is paid them. This is true
of such diseases as whooping cough,
measles, mumps and the like, general
ly known as diseases of childhood.
Why have them when by isolation they
can be prevented?
One of the most prevalent of the
communicable diseases, and the most
<erious of any above mentioned are the
Venereal Diseases. About 10 per cent
of our entire population is supposed to
be infected.
The State Board of Health issues
from time to time bulletins on different
diseases and canitation that are free
for the asking. They also issue a
monthly magazine on health, called
«“HEALTHOLGGY.” Mr. Ray Werner
js the editor. This is free for the
asking —Georgia State Board of
Health.
IT’S TOUGH
It certainly is tough, after a man
has been “over there” and been de
corated and all that, to come home
and face a battery of letters such
as these:
“Sergeant Bjones: Kindly step
around to my office at your earliest
convenience and take up with me the
question of your chickens pulling up
the garden truck of Mr. A. Neighbor.
You will recall that we were attempt
ing to adjust this matter at the time
of your enlistment over a year ago.
“A. N. Attorney.”

“Mr. Bjones, Dear Sergeant: Un
doubtedly you will recall a little con
versation you had with us before en
listing, regarding the purchase of a
new safety razor. The news’ of your
arrival back in town recalled the in
cident to our mind and we are writing
to let you know that we still have
some of the razors you were interest
ed in. Hoping to see you soon and
have the pleasure of personally con
gratulating you and showing you
these razors, we are,
“Ancient Hardware Store.”

Sergeat Bjones, Dear Sir: May we
add our congratulations to those you
are receiving and call your attention
to a little bill for $.63 for electric
light furnished your office in the
spring of 1917 which you overlooked
in the rush of your departure for
the front. Trusting that you will soon
clean up this bill and again congra
tulating you, we are,

“Dear Mr. Sergeant Bjones: At
the time of you enlistment we had
some of your laundry in our shop and
you were pressing us to deliver it,
which we were unable to do because
we couldn’t find the same. Since you
went to war, however, we have found
it—one shirt and four collars. Shall
we deliver the same?

EVEN SHELVES ARE STEEL
IN FIRE PROOF HOUSES
Not a stick of wood is used in two
fireproof concrete houses being built
in England as an experiment, says
an illustrated article in the June Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Concrete
and steel are used exclusively, the
floors being of jointless composition
with rounded corners, while window
frames, trimmings, doors, stair cases,
and even the cupboard shelves are of
steel. The cottages are fitted with
every modern improvement, and are
said to have excelled similiar dwell
ings of wood or brick, both in time
and cos tof construction.
