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- Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTORIA JAMES H, BATTLE Warrenton, Ga.

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 have to be discontinued, and that the funds will admit of very little diphthe ria antitoxin being given the poor This is no less than a public calamity, as a few doses of 606 will control the spread of Syphilis and a few thousand units of antitoxin will save a life Our State hae many people in it who are not able to pay for these reme dies. 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.

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. The First Side Saddles.

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. ♦ 4*« Patching Hole*.
