Che Jrwinton Bulletin.
IRWINTON, WILKINSON COUNTY, GA. FRIDAY, AFPRIL.I6, 1909,
Southern Health Authorities to
Open an Early Campaign.
Boards of Health Throughout the South
Will Join in Fight to Exterminate
the Pests.
New Orleans, La.—The entire south
has notified the festive mosquito and
the übiguitous house fly that they
are undesirable citizens, and that un
der the circumstances will not be
permitted to reside in or frequent
the inhabited communities. But the
authorities have not been satisfied
with declarations. Not much. They
have not forgotten the lesson taught
them in 1905, when the yellow fever
came.
So, all ever the south, in the small
er ‘villages, as. well as in the bigger
cities, the health authorities are open
ing an early campaign against the
disseminators of all the deadly dis
eases—the mosquitoes and the house
fly. It has been demonstrated that
the mosquito is not the only disease
spreader. He—or she, rather—does
spread yellow fever. But the house
fly has been tried and convicted of
the crime of disseminating malaria,
typhoid fever and several other dis
eases no less deadly.,
Under the direction of Dr. J. 8.
White, the famous marine hospital
surgeon, who fought and whipped the
yvellow fever in 1905, a regular set of
laws and precautions have been de
vised. These are practically the same
in all he southern cities and states.
To begin with, all tanks of water,
cisterns or vessels which hold water
or which might be filled with water
after a rain must be eovered and
screened with a screen of at least
18 meshes of wire to the inch. Stand
ing water on lots or commons is not
permitted. All shallow lots must be
drained and kept dry, or the owner
is subject to a severe penalty. All
stables must have air-tight recepta
cles for refuse, and this refuse must
be removed each week. Where there
are large natural bodies of water,
which it is impossible to drain, then
the surface must be disinfected and
oiled at frequent and regular inter
vals, Even the water used in the
sprinkling carts is heavily charged
with the strongest disinfectants.
But the authorities do not stop even
here. They go into the restaurants,
cases, butcher shops, dairy depots and
bakeries, They force the proporietors
to screen their premises with copper
screens and to screen the recepta
cles in which food is kept and pre
pared. 'k
In the public and parochial schoolsg
the teachers regularly and insistent
ly impress upon the children the dan
ger of contamination and the necds
sity of obeying the rules laid down
by the health authorities. This not
only insures care on the part of the
next generation, but the children are
gradually instructing and converting
their parents to a belief in the great
doctrines of sanitation.
Os course, in the cities, a regularly
organized force of =zanitary police en
force the laws. In the smaller cities
the health preserving rules are looked
after by state officers.
In connection with this campaign
it is interesting to note that those
years in which a vigorous and care
ful campaign was waged against these
winged pests, showed a greatsdy de
creased death rate anda a most com
forting and encouraging decrease in
the number of deadly diseases.
Several of the larger cities have
stringent anti-weed ordinances, which
make it a crime to permit the growtn
of weeds under penalty of fine and
imprisonment. In seme places the
weeds must be cut when 5 inches
tall, in others greater latitude is pe:-
mitted.
The board of health in one city ex
changes ideas with others, and thus
a uniform system of defense against
disease is being gradually worked out.
ALASKA-YUKON STAMPS.
Design for Special Issue ,is Approved
By Postmaster Ge¢ ral.
Washington, D. C. — Postmaster
General Hitchcock has approved one
of a number of designs submitted for
a special issue of stamps: commem
orative of the :Alaska-Yukon-Pacific

issued to commeilnorate the James
town exposition. Panels at the top
and bottom contain respectively the
words “U. S. Postage” and “Two
Cents.” In the center, of the. stamp
the larger part of a circle .rests on
the lower panel, and encloses a rib
bon bearing the inscription ' “Alaska-
Yukon-Pacific, 1909,” the circle frames
the picture of a fur seal standing on
a cake of ice. On the other side of
the stamp is an ellipse containing
the Arabic numeral 2, with laurel
branches as a background.
HEARST AGENTS FREED.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr,, Loses Libel
Suit.
New York City.—The writ of ha
beas corpus secured in behalf of the
publishers of the New York Ameri
can and Journal, in the action brought
against them for criminal libel on
complaint of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
was upheld by Justice. Gerard, and
the defendants discharged. |
« Mr. Rockefeller had complained of |
the publication in the New York Am
erican of December 17, 1908, of an ar
ticle wrongly accusing him of having
originated a pecnage system, to which
the emplavees of a certain breakfast
food company in Illinois were alleged
to have been subjected. |

Prostration
ostration
“I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles’
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, I soon found myself re
covering, and am to-day well.”
MRS D. 1. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take Dr. Miles” Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not. benefit lie will return
your . money, «
