DEPOSIT IN VAULTS
CREDIT OF GEORGIA
There Is deposited annually in on*
of Uncle Sara’s strong vaults In Wash
iugton City §24,630,55 to the credii
of Georgia. It has been there now foi
about three years. It was placed there
to be spent by our State on Maternity
Work and Infant Hygiene. It has not
been called for by our people und it
Is there now at your' bidding. Be
sides this amount there has been paid
our State for several years a gift oi
§5,000.00 for this particular work, This
has been used to the best advantage
This money is appropriated to tin
State under what is known as the
Sheppard-Towner Bill. The only re
Quirement necessary for us to get this
money is to form a co partnershii
with Uncle Sam and put up dollar for
dollar with him, The work is sc
much needed in our State. The
infant and maternity mortality is fear
fully high. We ought to save oui
mothers and babies. All men art
taught “women and children first,'
yet 4,366 babies under one year old
died in the year. We have the sad
record—we might say truthfully the
convicting damning record—of 3,15'.
babies born dead. We know that one
third of all our deaths are among chil
dren. The death certificates of 631
mothers dying in childbirth are or
file in the Vital Statistics Departmen!
of the State Board of Health. We
have locked in the fire-proof vault it
our Capitol the birth certificates oi
6D.615 babies born in a year and thal
tiiis written evidence shows that 22,
709 of them were not attended by a
physician.
Do we need this $24,530.55 gift of
our government? Do these S,1G(
tombstones call out to you? I)o they;
1 lie deaths of innocent babies and
mothers who paid the supreme satri
five that, another soul might be born
surely appeal to you.
You naturally ask why Georgia has
not been getting this money. Tb«
answer is that our legislature hat
never met the requirements of the
federal law, which is that we must
show the same interest in our mfclli
< rs and babies as the Congress that
has put up an equal amount of money
The Congress has already put Uf
their money—the cold cash is there
ready to match yours dollar for dollar
Your law makers have never said
“Yes, Uncle Sam, wo are as much in
terested as you in our children.” Yom
State Board of Health stands eagerly
waiting to administer this money tc
the very best advantage. They would
like so much to give all that experi
ence and earnest desire can put into
the work. They would especially like
to toe of service to the 22,709 baldes
and their mothers who came Into this
world without the care of a physician
The midwife problem is a big one
and should have attention. It is per¬
haps one of the greatest problems in
our State. It should he given atten
tion, and we sincerely hope before the
present General Assembly adjourns
wo will have complied with the fed
eral law.
HEALTHMOBILE
COMPLETES CANVASS
The Healthmobile has just complet¬
ed a thorough canvass of the Eleventh
Congressional District, remaining in
this district for six months. It is
hoped that much good was accom¬
plished. In addition to this unit the
work has been followed by three
nurses, who have visited the homes
of the children found defective. This
follow-up work should prove of great
value. It will take time to tell just
how much good was accomplished and
possibly a resurvey. Nothing can
count, of course, unless permanent
work can be Instituted.

HEALTH WORK IS
FUNDAMENTAL WORK
Without a healthy population no
community can expect happiness ot
prosperity. The full time health offi¬
cer is a good investment.
The measure of prosperity of a com¬
munity, county or state is dependent
upon the earning capacity of its peo¬
ple. If they have hookworm, malaria,
syphilis or, in fact, disease of any
kind, they are not in condition to pros¬
per. The State Board of Health is
always glad to advise with its people
what to do to stay well.
One who is sick needs the very best
attention. You cannot afford to delay
by self medication, taking so-called
patent remedies. The human mach¬
inery needs an expert, so do the right
thing and send for your physician, or
still better, have a regular examina¬
tion before you get sick in order to
receive the proper advice to avoid ill¬
ness.
Exterminate the fly. Screen out the
mosquito. Do everything you can to
keep well.
Fresh air, pure water, plain food,
proper play, abundant sleep are the
producers of good health.
Sanitation is as old as the world.
Moses gave the first law. It is good
today.
