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. Tobacco Market saves thou sands in hauling. Iron Mining in China China is mining about 2,000,(XX) tons of iron ore annually and making 450, (n'O tons of pig iron in native furnaces anP 250,OtX) tons in furnaces owned by Japanese.

' • ■ 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. •nu.unq ,sui.u.)je.\ sojiUS IWluj] aqj jo uoij.jn.np oqj Joplin ojnjinnp -hu U| sesanon 3uppu oju suiuojua jua* PiaoAV peiqnsjp (XIOTL uuqi ujojv aurtfjnojjSy dfl sijDj Paving Brick Fifty-nine varieties of vitirifled pav ng brick have been eliminated, and the styles and sizes reduced from i<3 to 7.
