WANTED TO BUY MIAMI, FLORIDA REAL ESTATE OR LOTS IN ANY NEARBY SUBDIVISION DQRSETT—KALISH CO. 501 N. E- First Ave or P. O. Box 1293, Miami, Florida. QIBSON, QA„ WEDNESDAY, OCT. 28.1925 A GROWING MENACE CAMPERS The nomadic face that we seem to be developing la fraught with con aid arable danger to the stay-at-homes and also to those camp followers who come along after a carrier of disease. Thousands ' of people are constantly Bn the *°: many *>f them p arry a camp outflt and eaInp where ntght ovor takes them. Every one of them is potentially dangerous. They have no Ban|tary arrangements at a vast ma Jority of the camps; they generally seek a camp site with running water lf Streams and wells are liable to become polluted from the surface drainage. Especially is there danger from all diseases that come from human fecal matter. Food left! Scattered causes flies, and these seek- j Ing their natural element for laying; their eggs get contaminations and; bring them into our homes. We need some kind of legislative measures to con t ro i this menace to our health. If ^ 0 j 0l]r itinerants would observe the ( a w given by Moses all would be well, (, ut the sanitary laws as well as the moral code are set at naught by many, We believe that our Highway De-; partment should se aside a sufficient! sum for the examining of camp sites and mark offlcaflly all places that would meet the approval of the State' Board of Health The regular road men employed oy the Highway De partment could be appointed as Stinl tary Inspectors and given the neces sary power ,to condemn any camp that lid not corrfe up to the specifications that would he promulgated by the' g late Board of Health. The State Board of Health should pass the nec essary rules and regulations te pro tect the c }t} zen8 0 f Georgia and also our itinerant visitors. We think that f j,j h should be done immediately, As a pro t ec tlon to our passing guests Vl; g jj 0a i,j j, sve sufficient and conven tent water supplies along our Import- 4nt highways, examined by the State Board of Health and prominent signs pl . irfl ^ certifying the water as being good or bad. In making this suggestion, we do so realizing that our State Board of Health has no funds for this purpose, but, as stated above, we believe that ibis, too, could and should be borne «* , the . tn? , Im P° 8ed . on the .. Rall: . ot , ea * We respectfully suggest that the Highway Drpartment and State Board of Health get together on a program and that n« time be lost. We would also like to urge upon our State Board of Health the necessity of promulgat ing rules for the conducting of mu nicipal and for hire camps in Georgia. PREVENT PNEUMONIA The pneumonia season Is here. Soon some of your loved ones or acquaint ances will be suddenly stricken and in « tew days will be tenderly laid away for their last time. We should do all that we can against pneumonia. It a communicable disease; ft is "caught” by direct contact; that is, from the secretions of one who has disease. There are many "carrl era," people who carry the germ of pneumonia all the time, but who do themselves have the disease. Row ever they "give” it to others. Sneezing, coughing, loud talking close contact, glasses dippers and other vessels, forks, knives, towels, etc., that have been used by one who has the dis ease or a carrier will communicate the disease to the well. In seasons when pneumonia Is prevalent it be hooves every one to take care of hlm self. Keep the system at par or above; j 0 nothing that will lower the power 0 f resistance, and especially should we take care of ourselves when we have a “bad cold.” In fact, all diseases of the respiratory tract come in the 8ame category ts pneumonia insofar as the method of spread is concerned.
