CUTTING FUNDS CUTS WORK
Twenty-Four Thousand One Hundred
And Fifty-Nine Dollars Of The
Fund For 1921.
The appropriation of the State Board
of Health for 1922 and 1923 was cut
by the Legislature. This cut, with the
withdrawal of federal aid to venereal
disease control work, gives the State
Board of Health $24,159.00 less money
than they are operating with this year.
It Is hard to conceive how this work
can be carried on in the same pro
portion as at present; in fact, it can
not be done. The Venereal Disease
Control Division of the Board has been
cut 60%; this means that this De
partment cannot do much more than
continue its free Wasserman Depart
ment and possibly furnish Keidel blood
tubes to the physicians. This, as we
view it, is no less than a public ca
lamity. The State Board of Health,
*o far as the central unit is concerned,
had their appropriation cut $9,590.
When you consider the growth of the
population and the constantly increas
ing demands on the Laboratory, you
will realize that this really means a
decrease in the capacity of the work
of the State Board of Health, of about
20%; in other words, it was estimated
by Dr. Thos. F. Abercrombie, the Sec
retary and Commissioner of Health,
that to keep pace with our increase
of population and consequent danger
from infectious and communicable dis
eases incident to the natural conges
tion of people, he would have to have
ten thousand dollars more money for
1922 and 1923 than for last year and
this. This, It seem3 to the editor of
this paper, was a very modest and rea
sonable conclusion.
The appeal of Dr. Abercrombie to
the appropriation committee was for
$100,959,09. This was made after very
careful estimates had been made hav
ing in view the financial condition of
the State and of the people who pay
the tax, keeping constantly in mind
the actual demands on him by the peo
ple and the physicians of his State,
with the fact that the lowered rso
sistance of our people from the neces
sity tor economy that all must prac
tice, the possibility of an increase in
the communicable diseases and a pos
sibility of pellagra Increasing. We can
Imagine his grief and surprise when
the committee recommended an ap
propriation for the entire work of $67,-
600.00; the appropriation for this year
had been $80,690.00.
The friends of the people and those
legislators who were interested in the
prevention of disease, some of them
being members of the appropriation
committee from the floor of the House
succeeded in getting this raised to $81,-
431.00. Many realized that this sum
wa3 entirely inadequate for the work
of the health department, and interest-

We think, in justice to our State
Board of Health, our people, and the
physicians espeeialy, should know the
facts, and if you are not able to get
from this Board the co-operation that
you think you should, you should re
member that they are doing the very
best they can and wrestling with a
shortage of $24,159.00.
It is more than likely that the dis
tribution of free Arsphenamine will

The work of the Board will have
to be curtailed in other respects as
well. We are quite sure that it will
function as best it can, and with the
smalt appropriation at Its disposal will
be the means of preventing much ill
ness and the curing of many who are
sick through its diagnostic work at the
Laboratory.

PROTECTION OF WOMEN REFUSED
Legislature Falls to Pass Necessary
Law.
The protection of the young women
of our State against venereal infec
tion that was sought in a bill by Mr
Moore, of Appling County, In the re
cent legislature was defeated because
of h lack of a constitutional majority,
The'vote on this mu was 65 for and
65 against; it requires 100 votes to
pass such a law. The bill was called
up at a very inopportune time, on Mon
day morning before a number of mem
bers of the House arrived. Splendid
work in favor of the enactment of this
measure Into a law was done by tlia
various organizations of the good worn
en of Atlanta and a few outside of the
city.
The bill will be again offered at the
next session, and, in the interim, It ie
hoped that ait who are interested in
the matter. Will do some effective
work.

CARE OF NEW SILK HOSIERY

The thing to do Is to wash them out
aa S00D as you take 1116111 oft - 0f
course, this Is usually too much trou
bl6 - Nevertheless, It Is the thing to
do. And, of course, they-shouldn’t be
worn more than a day at a time—no
more than a day without washing,
that means.
Furthermore, It is said by a woman
who wears her silk stockings longer
than most of us do that they should
be washed in cold water, and that no
soap should be used. This seems rath
er strenuous treatment, But In her
case, at least. It works out well, and
perhaps It is the best way to do.
Another woman who Is never trou
bled with runs in the legs of her silk
btockings finds that stitching a harrow
piece of black silk Inside the stocking
at the top prevents the runs from com
ing. The garter fastening goes through
the extra thickness made by this silk
—which, by the way, should be thin
silk—and so does cot pierce the fabric
of the stocking.
A Remarkable Record
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy ha* a
remarkable record. It has been in use
for colds, croup and whooping cough
for almost half a century and has con
stantly grown in favor and popularity
as its good qualities became better
known. It is the standard and main
reliance ior these diseases in thous
ands of homes. The fact* that it can
always be depended npon and is safe
and pleasant to take are greatly in its
favor when it is wanted for children.

Farm Implement of Value.
Our- word- hoe. in the French
"houe,” has its root in the verb to
hew or to cut, and so the implement
designed for stirring up the soli, cut
ting weeds, and singling ont turnips
and other root crops is called the boe.
Horse-drawn implements with adjust
able tongues like cultivators, bave
been called horse-hoes, but they are
hoes only in name. The true hoe Is
the blade with a handle at right an
Ele, wielded by a man’s two hu cis. It
is the friend of true farming—of
mixed farming, at any rate. The

Brave in Patches.
There are odd inconsistencies In
physical courage, too,” says a writer
in Punch. 1 know a V. C. who can’t
oring himself to bait a hook with a
wonu, he shudders so; and you all
remember Phil May’s picture of the
circus hand who took refuge from his
wife in the lions' den. I myself am
moderately brave—1 have been down
Stairs with only a poker to investigate
uoises In the night—but nothing would
get me on to the back of a horse. An
other man will have a tooth out with
out gas; but rau 20 miles rather than
make a public speech. Even the brave
are brave only in patches.”
