Not only are they going after local people but will advertise the event, through the co-operation of the merchants in the affected area all over this part of Georgia and South Carolina.

MILD EPIDEMIC OF! DIPTHERIA IS NOW PREVALENT IN CITY, SAYS DR. H.B, NEAGLE City and County Health | Officer Makes Statement as to Situation, and Describes Use of Anti-Toxin and Toxin Anti-Autoxin, as Well As Schick Test. It was announced Saturday by Dr. H. B. Neagle, city and county health officer, that a mild epidemic of diptheria is now prevelent in Au gusta and the citizens should take immediate steps to prevent the spreading of this disease. The ad ministration of toxin-antitoxin immunizes one for life from the malady, he says. Every child can be permanently protected from dipthe ria, Dr. Neagle said. Outlining the method of treat ment and the proceedure in the premises, Dr. Neagle made the fol lowing statement: "A mild epidemic of diptheria is now prevalent in the City of Au gusta and public interest is aroused to such an extent that a genera! consideration of this disease is de sirable. "Three proceedures are possible in a campaign against diptheria. Each has a separate and distinct objective, and each is of value, but by no means are they of equal value at all times and under all conditions. "It is important that all parents shall understand a few facte con cerning the three proceedures which will indicate their relative value. It is also wise to be perfectly frank about their limitations. "The three proceedures which may be desirable under different conditions are as follows: FIRST— THE SICK TEST "This is useful only to determine whether a child or adult is suscepti ble to diptheria or is naturally pro tected against the disease. "A few children cannot catch diptheria even if they are exposed and many adults cannot catch dip theria no matter how often they come in contact with it. The sick test gives accurate information which shows definitely who Is and who is not liable to catch this dis ease. SECOND—ANTI-TOXIN TREATMENT "This is a treatment for diptheria. It must be given to every one who has diptheria for it is ,the only treatment. It must be.given because it will always prevent death and always prevent severe illness if given early enough and in sufficient quantity. “A large dose placed directly in a ve\i and spread by the blood quickly throughout the body will often save a dying child. “Anti-Toxin may also be given to children who may be expected to have diptheria and it will always prevent the disease entirely or make is very mild. In other words, this is a cure which may be given be fore the child is sick. In the vast majority of cases it absolutely pro tects against diptheria but, and again this is important, it only pro tects for about three week s THIRD—TOXIN ANTITOXIN "This is nbt a cure for diptheria. It will not even prevent diptheria if a child has already been ex posed. You may well ask what does it do? The answer is that it will, if used properly, absolutely stamp out diptheria, wipe it off the face of the earth, never to return. This surely entitles it to consideration and a study of its use. "Simply stated, it is a mixture of poison and antidote, which given to a child will protect it forever after from diptheria, but, and this is of the utmost Importance, it does not act for several months. If your child receives Toxin-Antitoxin Dec. 1, 1924 and once a week there after for three weeks, you may rest assured that after July 1, 1925 it will never have diptheria. "If every child were given Toxin- Antitoxin early in life he or she would be forever after protected and in a few years diptheria would become as rare as yellow fever is in Augusta. "To summarize: We have, first, a test to show who can have dip theria and who cannot. "Secondly, we have a cure for diptheria, which Is so sure and so harmless that it is given to all who have been exposed as well as those who are actually suffering from the disease. "Thirdly, we have the power to protect permanently every child who does not catch diptheria In the next six months. "Practically the three procedures are of Importance in Augusta right now. They should be made use of as follows: THE BICK TEST "Very few children under eight years of age are free from danger of cathlng diptheria, so under this age we need not use this test. “After eight years of age people become less and less susceptible, and as the test Is simple, harmless and ' Inexpensive. It becomes more and more desirable to use It. "It Is solely used as a guide for the administration of Toxin-Anti toxin and has nothing to do with the treatment of the disease. "Every child under eight should be protected permanently from ever catching dlpatherla by Toxin-Anti toxin. The treatment costs money and time and should be given only to adults v/ho have been proven by the sick test to be susceptible. It has been decided by those who have had the greatest experience with it that it le wise to use It even in children who are over eight years of age. This age is selected for two reasons. One is for economy, end the other Jh to Rvoid useless medical attention as far as possible. It is an honest attempt to be fair and Just with the public, both as to their need* and to their pocket books. i "Diptheria Antitoxin is used uni versally, is universally accepted aa (Continued on Back Page) THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.

The Board does not own the trucks, nor pay any operating ex penses, or repairs. They merely contract with the owners for the uso and operation of a truck for a certain amount, over a given route, on a definite schedule. The following rules and regula tions are furnished each owner and driver by the Superintendent of schools, and as much diligence ns possible Is used to insure their ob servance: Rules and requirements for all drivers of school trucks. 1. All drivers shall be duly li censed and shall he of good habits and reliable.

They shall observe a given schedule of departure and arrival and a time schedule along the road so that pupils may know when and where to meet the trucks. Drivers shall proceed carefully and with all due regard for tho safety of the pupils, observing the rules of the road given for warnings and slg- i nnls. They ahull load nnd uniond their trucks to the greatest con venience of the pupils getting in and out.

GEORGIA WAS FIRST i GOVT IN WORLD TO HELP REHABILITATE HER WAR VETERANS This Occurred Following | Civil War, and Now Augu j sta District is Leading South in Number of World War Veterans Being Given I Vocational Training "The state of Georgia,” says R. W. Adamson, rehabilitation assistant for tho IT. S. Veterans Bureau, in charge of Augusta district, "was the first government in the world to establish rehabilitation plans for war veterans, when she provided for the rehabilitation of her Civil War veterans following that great strug gle.” In reference to his work here In taking care of the many ex-ser vice men, who fought in any of the branches of Uncle Bam s combatant forces during the World Wur, Mr. Adamson says tho Augusta district is the heaviest. In point of tho num ber of men being accommodated, in this section of the south. Mr. Adamson gives as the reason for this that Augusta Industries and business men are more responsive in tho matter of offering oppor tunities to your men for vocational training, for the sole purpose of assisting tire U. S. Veterans' Bu reau in Us great work. In ail, 43 men are being handled by Mr. Adamson’s office, most of them being trained locally in in dustrial and institutional courses. Of the total, there are twelve tak ing agricultural training, most of (hose being scattered over Mr. Adamson's territory, which em braces a good part of the State ot Georgia, reaching two-thirds of tho way to Macon and about two-thirds of the way to Savannah. All towns in this territory, should trainees bo placed in them, would fall under the supervision of the Augusta of fice. AGRICULTURAL MEN TRAIN AT HOME. Practically in every Instance, the agricultural trainees nre natives of the sections where they have been placed, it being the policy of the bureau to place a man near his home, wherever possible. Trainees in other courses come from three states, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama. One man lately winding up his course, came from Maryland. In speaking of the question as to whether rehabllatlon really helps the men and pays tho government, Mr. Adamson cites the cases of five of his trainees, all of them medical students at the Medical College here. One of the five graduated last Juno In his course In madlclne at the top of his class, while there are now four at the college, all bearing high ratings in their class work. Another of the trainees, taking agricultural work, is farm ing 27 acres of cotton, starting with small capital, and will make more than 20 bales as a cfop for 1924. Mr. Adamson point* with pride to this case, saying tirat this ex-ser vice man. followed all the instruc tions of the bureau and farmed his land in strict culture. A third case, which Is also an agricultural case, is cited, in which a young man, taking training near Augusta, has all this year marketed the products of a truck farm, raising good stuff and putting it up In such attractive packages that he has created a great demand for his wares. This young man, Mr. Adamson says, made money this year off of his farm in addition to the allowance given him by the government under rehabili tation. NINETY PER CENT OF TRAINEES MAKE GOOD, Answering the sometimes heard charge that rehabilitation of veter ans Is money wasted by an extrava grant government, Mr, Adamson says thnt fully 90 per cant of the men under his office are making good or have already done so. "When the government takes men and trains them along productive lines of endeavor and makes nine ty out of every hundred of them into good, working citizens, it Is building up and saving up a better citizenship, not destroying or throwing away anything," Mr. Adamson holds. Further substantiating his state ment thaht the government's reha bilitation scheme pays big divi dends, Mr. Adamson calls atten tion to two more cases: One young fellow, taking training in the poultry business and who started out with a cock and three hens, now has a yard of about 100 six-montha-old chickens. He won first prizes at the Warren-Glas cock fair with his new strain of birds, the Jersey Black Olnnt. Thla strain Is new to this part of the country, but this veteran made a go of It. GOOD JOR WAITING FOR THIS VETERAN. Another of the hoys, s trainee In the electrical field, winds up hi* course in December, and Mr. Adam hns alrendy contracted with a pnrtv for a fine Job with unusually good pay for him. This trainee will rank aa a maater electrician when his course is completed. Towns now being worked by Hie bureau's Augusta office with train ees in them are: Martinez, Thomson, Warrenton, f'amak, Sandersvllle. Tennllle, Wadlcy, Davlsboro, Butts, Still more, Hwainsboro, Perkins, Mlllen, Waynesboro. The office, of which Mr. Adam son is in charge, is on the htlrd floor of the poetofflc* building, lo cated In the offices of the 17. R. wather bureau. Mr. Adamson spends a great deal of his time in the office, but hla duties also tske him out to the other towns looking after his 48 charges.

Carlisle, officer , In charge of Reserve Corpa actlvl j tics in this section of the Fourth I Corps Area, calls at attention of ex-service men to tho fact that 1 only about one-third of the men entitled to compensation under tha "bonus bill" have ssked for it and urges that those who are entitled to it either file their applications im mediately or notify the Adjutant General, War Department, Wash ington, D. C„ so that the authori ties may know when their task la done. Major General Robert C. Davis, The Adjutant General of the Army, who is in charge of the administra tion of the Adjusted Compensation Act (Bonus) for the War Depart ment, announced on the 10th of No vember that 1,500,000 out of a pos sible 4,500,000 or, only one out of three of those entitled to compen sation, had even asked for it. He further stated that there were enougli applications on hand to keep the present highly trained force of clerks busy until the end of tho year; but thnt by slightly Increasing thla force the balance of applications eventually to be re ceived could be handled and the talk completed in about throa montha after the first of the year. The Department request* that these veterans who do not Intend to apply for the compensation, write to the Adjutant General of the Army, Washington, D. C„ and tell him so, In order that he may know when his task Is completed. 140,000 APPLICATIONS RETURNED FOR CORRECTION There are 140,000 veterans to whom applications have been re turned because of errors in pre paration and who are still holding them. It is requested that the ne cessary data, be supplied and that the applications be promptly re turned. The department main tains only a car™ record fllo of euch applications, and It cannot, of course, take any further action with regard to them until the cor rected application Is received back. The Department wishes the ve. terang to understand that it ac cepts nnd pnsaes every application thnt contains sufficient entries to make It valid, —and .endeavors to roturn for correction only those ap plications which contain vital com missions or errors. A most pecu liar thing Is that over half of the 300,000 applications returned were sent back because the veterans had forgotten to sign them. Many were returned because tho finger prints were omitted entirely or there was not legible the finger print of at least one finger; others because a dependent failed to attack a certi them, averaging six members to the family, should have turkeys for Thanksgiving and prepare a dinner according to Mr. Castleberry's menu above, then Augusta's Thanksgiv ing would cost $53,460 on dinner ta bles alone! If each of the estimated 10,660 families should roast a small turkey for their dinner next Thursday, then the turkeys would cost $24,000, or nearly half of the entire dinner. The 10,000 turkeys, if placed end to end, would reach from East Boundary to the King Mill bridge! If one man had to feed all these turkeys for one meal only It would require one hundred and fifty-six bushels mid one peck of corn, cost ing tieurly two hundred dollars, or enough to provide thirty-htree of the complete dinners ns placed above! RESTAURANTS AND CAFES TO HAVE SPECIAL MENUS. There are, of courho, going to be a great many who will not want the bother of plunnlng and preparing a Thanksgiving dinner, hut would rather go to a nice quiet restau rant, where the cuisine Is good and surroundings congenial and attract ive. For these the restaurants, cases and hotels are planning big regular dinners, with turkey ns the prin cipal course. The cafeterias are going to have Thanksgiving menus, too. only their dinners will not be served table d’hote. All of the plnces will charge rea sonable prices, with tho class of service and facilities considered. Inquiries disclose thaht a good din ner at a restaurant or a case will cost from 50 cents up to a $1.25. while the cafeterias will be able to offer wldo varieties ot meats from which to select, with side dishes according to Hoyle, so ns to give the normal person all they can cat for from 75 cents up. Light sup pers of sea food and other delica cies will also be served by most of the eating places Thursday evening. Thanksgiving dinners will not he scarce in Augusta this year, with all the charltnblo organizations of the city planning dinners for the unufortunates who cannot provide their own and those who are able to get their own going at It strong. riratr of death when the veteran died out of the bit vice, or perhaps, failed to execute the necssary affl davit.*' , . Clneral Davis sums up nis thrrs requests to veterans, briefly, as follows: "If you Intend to npply event ually for ndJusted compensation please submit an application at once. Go to the nearest nccrtilt jng or other Army Station or any Navy, Marine Corps or Veterans Bureau for assistance. The many advantages of such action nre ob vious, but the most Important of these Is the protection It gives your dependent in the case of your deal!). "If you have no desire to avail yourself of the benefits of the Act, notify the Department to that effect. "If you ere one of the 140. n0n vetorans who have not corrected and returned their applications, please do not delay the neceesary action longer.” PAINE TRUSTEES TO MEET HERE TO PASS ON DORMITORY SITE Mayor Julian M. Smith wired from Atlanta Saturday night that tha committee from the Augusta City Council had been In confer ence with Bishop Darlington and other members of the board of trustees of Paine College at the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and that It was decided to hold a meeting of the board of trustees Jn Augusta at an early date.
