Your State Board of Health
The Institution That Protects
Human Lives—lt Is Yours,
~ Use It.
The Georgia State Board of Health
was organized in the year 1903. For
a long while its’ activities were lim
ited, owing to the appropriation being
80 meagre. The foundation for its
ultimate success was well and strong
ly laid, however, and the reputation
of its laboratory work well stab
lished.
1 The law-makers year after year did
not see fit to give it funds to jus
tify the enlarging of its scope. Laws
were passed that directed this expan
sion, but no money was provided. It
seemed easy to get money for other
departments, but when the Health
Department asked aid, the appropri
ation commniittee = became suddenly
very economically inclined.
The last legislators were more lib
eral, giving the Health Department
more money, but when considered in
relation to the increased cost, owing
to war-time conditions, it really did
mot amount to very much above the
former allotment.
Dr. . F. Abercrombie, the secretary
of the Board, by judicious expendi
tures, and by several reforms in ad
ministration, has been enabled t® put
on the Vital Statistics Department,
The Bureau of Rural Sanitation, The
Division of Serology, and greatly en
larging the Division of Bacteriology.
The various departments are run
ning smoothly and are doing splendid
work. The Division of Vital Statistics
is the latest one to get started, and
is, by the way, one of the most import
ant, and should have the support of
every citizen of our state. The re
cording of births and deaths is one
of the mosc serious of the many func
tions of the governmefit. An authen
tic record oftentimes is desired, and
is of the utmost necessity. -
The Venereal Disease Control De
partment is being conducted at the
present with Federal aid, and ,unless
the State should see fit to foster this
most important work, it will not be
continued. This was a War Measure,
and a most essential and important
one. Our state is in great need of
this work, it being estimated that we
have in round numbers Fifty Thou~
sand cases of syphilis, and Two Hun
dred and Forty Thoysand of gonor
rhoea.
The work of the State Board of
Health has grown so rapidly, and its
work so much in popularity, that new
executive offices have had to be se
cured, and the space formerly used
for offices given over to the labora
tories.
When you visit Atlanta, you are
cordially invited to call at your State
Board of Health and look ovegfthe
plant. The office is located at No.
131 Capitol Square.
Write for bulletins or ask ques
tions. The yarious departments are
never happier than when serving the
people of the State.

U. D. C. MEETING
At the meeting of Kennesaw Chap
ter U. D. C. last week, just after the
appreciative paper of Miss Helen
Faw was read—and she was voted in
—Mrs. Hamby presented each Daugh
ter fith a copy of Miss Faw’s prize
essay, beautifully gotten up, the gift
of Mr. Comfort, editor of The Mari
etta Journal. It was highly appre
ciated and a rising vote of thanks was
given Mr. Comfort for this compli
ment.
A letter was read from Mr. Bevens
of Arkansas. He had seen a notice
of the war work of Kennesaw Chapter
in The Veteran, and it recalled his
army days when he fought under
Johnson around Marietta. He said he
could never forget the good women
of our town—that on one occasion
‘““‘some pretty girls gave us black
berries with real cream and sugar,
and cake, though we were ragged and
dirty.” So you see Marietta was
kind and hospitable to soldiers in the
sixties as well as in 1918. He sent
beautiful copy of a history he had
written of his regiment. It was a
lovely thing to do, and was appreciat
ed by the chapter.
It was indeed a memorable meeting.
The chapter is doing a good work
along all lines, and will celebrate the
birthday of Jefferson Davis on Tues
‘dayday, June 3, at the home of Mrs.
J. E. McEachern at 4 o’clock p. m.
Let all the Daughters come.
