Newspaper Page Text12 PAGES VOL. 54. NO. 20 Commissioner of Health Dr. Todd Offers Free Inoculation to All Who Desire te Take It. Typhoid fever is a preventable disease caused by the bacillus typhos us invading the alimentary tract, by direct or indirect contact with a source -of infection. Among the direct means of trans mission are contaminated water, milk, green vegetables, etc.,contami nated house flies have been common means of transmission in epidemies. Typhoid is conveyed from man to man, the infective ggent is found in the excrements of a person who has typhoid or previous]y suffered from the disease. About three apparent ly normal people in every thousand have been found to be typhoid car riers. Typhoid fever is therefore a filth disease and in short it may be stated that when a person *comes down with the disease it means he or she has taken into the alimentary tract some of the filth from a person who has or is now suffering from typhoid. With the proper disposal of the body excrements typhoid fever would cease to exist. The sanitary meth ods for this disposition cannot be made effective immediately there fore the Cobb County Board of Health proposes to put on a cam paign offering every individual in the county the opportunity of being in oculated. The complete inoculation is supposed to emmunize one for a period of three years—there are very few cases of typhoid fever reported as having occurred within three years following inoculation. Those few cases which were reported, in general, were very mild. Therefore it is advisable for every individual in Cobb county who has not had the in oculation within the past three years to take advantage of this opportunity. It will cost you nothing and may save you money, suffering and even life. Your Commissioner of Health Dr. Todd will go to any place in the county where there are as many as twelve people desiring ineculation If you are interested in your com munity make a canvass to find how many’ want this protection and com municate with him. Dr. Todd may be found in his office in the county court house on Saturdays, 9-12 a. m., 2-4 p. m. Other days only by ap pointment. HEALER HICKSON TO ; MAKE WORLD TOUR Rev.

A thoro investigation of the pro perty shows it is located from 90 to 120 miles from the nearest oil fiields in abarren section of Texas where it rains about once every three years. The truth is that there is only one chance in a thousand for these lands ever to be worth a great deal to Tech. The instiution must Jook elsewhere for funds to uphold its standing as the second leading technical school in the country. : PERSONAL OVERFLOW Mrs. \Len Baldwin, who visited rel atives in Kansas City, after taking the western trip with the Shriners Convention, returned home Saturday.

SUPERIOR COURT Large Number of Cases Disposed bf —Court Adjourns Until Monday Criminal Cases Tried Then. Cobb Superior Court was in. ses sion for three days this week, and adjourned over until Monday, when the criminal docket will be taken up. The Court, after disposing of the criminal business, will probably ad journ over until the first Monday in October, at which time a lot of heavy litigation in which Judge Blair is disqualifid, will be disposed of. He will secure the services of another Judge for the adjourned term of court. A large number of cases were dis posed of this week. Most of them ‘were cases which didn’t take much time to dispose of. The hardest ‘foug'ht case, and one that probably ‘attracted the most attention, was the lcase of Mrs. Mary M. Seay vs. John’ 'A. Seay. Mrs. Seay was suing her :husband for alimony. It developed ‘that they had lived together for a long number of years, and a daugh ter was born to them who is now a young lady. Mrs. Seay contended ‘that her husband left her without cause, and refused to provide for the support of herself and her child. Her husband, who was representedby Attorney Herbert Clay, in his an swer attacked the character of Mrs. Seay, and set up that for that rea son, and on account of her bad con ‘duct, she was not entitled to alimony. He gave evidence in support of all these * allegations, all of which was denied by Mrs. Seay. : Hon. J. E. Mozley represented Mrs. Seay, and in his argument, he severely arraigned the husband, tak ing the position that any man who ‘would marry a woman and then at ‘tack her character to keep from pay ing alimony, and endeavor to bring her into disrepute, and thereby re flect upon the character of the child, was unworthy of belief; that he would swear a lie if necessary; that he ought to be drummed out of society and put in the penitentiary. He was most severe in his arraign—; ment of a husband who would be guilty of such conduct. Mr. Clay, in conclusion, endeavored to defend the husband’s acts, but the jury very promptly agreed with Mr. Mozley, and rendered a verdict for $2,100.00 alimony for Mrs. Seay and her daughter. : :A BOSTON, MASS.

I wish to reproduce a recent letter from the new secretary of agricul ture, Hon. E. T. Meredith, showing what value the head of the United States Department of Agriculture places upon boys and girls club work: “I want to say just afew words to the farm boys and girls, and the older people need not bother to read it at all. “Now, you and I know that the boys and girls club work represents one of the most important lines of activity in the United States today.. I believe that it is important be cause it has such large possibilities. We men and women who are trying to improve farming and farm life, will be out of the game when you boys and girls are just reaching the prime of life. You have the advan tage of us, because you are learning the principals of good agriculture and home making while you are still young enough to learn to the best advantage and to apply in a practical way the knowledge thus gained throughout your whole lives. “Even as boys, and girls you are accomplishing more good than can be measured. The good that you will be able to do will increase as you grow older, and when you be come full grown men and women, you can supply for the agricultural forces of this nation a leadership such as the world has never before known. : ' “I congratulate the boys and girls club members, And I would like to ask a favor of the boys and girls who are not members of clubs. We are trying—the Unifed States Depart ment of Agriculture, the state agric ultural colleges, and a great many other people—to make the farme more pleasant. I wigh the other boys and girls would join with those 'who ane already members of the clubs and help us in accomplishing - this great service for our common: country. It is a patriotic thing to do; it is a service that can not be rendered except by you boys and girls, : “The year 1920 should be the big gest in the history of club work—l am confident that it will be. The country is facing a difficult situatiom because so many men have left the: farms to work in the city. The good work that the club boys and girls can do will help to overcome this handicap—and the club boys ‘and girls will do that kind of work this year. It may hearten you to know that many of us there in the De partment ofAgriculture look upon the boys and girls much as Caeser must have looked upon the, Tenth Legion, or as Napoleon on the Old Guard. The other forces may fail, but we know that we can rely on you. “I might not be willing to see you undertake such serious work if I did not know that, while yau work hard, ‘you play joyously together. ] am sure that the boys and girls in the Lclubs have better times than ‘those ‘who are not in the clubs, and that is lan additional compensation to you for the hard work you do in club work.” E. T. Meredith Secretary of Agriculture. ‘ All arrangements have been made for the club picnic at the Marietta iCamp Ground on Saturday, July 31. There will be an interesting program for the club members, and I hope that every club member in the county" will be present to get the benefit of this program. The fart that this is cailed a club picnic does not mean that it is for club members only. It is for club ‘members, their families, friends, and others interested in club work. There will be an interesting program for farmers and farm women. Carolyn Anderson and Miss Margar et Johnston Gramling got the booby, a daity dressed little doll.
