Truth About the County
Public Health Service

Editor The Journal There may be in the minds of
soma of our out-of-town friends idea that public
health officer is meddlesome sort of individual,
official busybody pulled up with little brief author-
w. who moses around" to stir fuss.
Let us get this thing right at the start There are
two sides to matter The health officers side and
that of country-dweller
The public health officer is skilled by special
study and experience in conditions that make for
sound robust vigorous healthy individuals their homes
and communities His first and duty is to give
freely from that knowledge all the assistance
possible to the people. they may be healthy and
their children Also they live in healthy
roundings because doesn't to be sick Epdemics
Of typhoid, scarlet fever and such things costly
luxuries we we'll do without
The public health officer is-in of the
Uord-a true friend to those who want &c live in
healthy environments just family physician is
a trusted friend.
On the other hand-this is purely matter of self
preservation Self defense against conditions which,
if allowed unchecked, mean sickness disability
DEATH loss of earning capacity Chat is lost,
broken broken hearts.
The doctor public health is the good friend who
to save you all this loss and damage and harm.
Get that clearly. It's the straight truth.
When health officer asks you to abate nuisance
it is for your good his. When he points some
the health of family neigh
bors it is for your good. Take his advice Help him
you help yourself.
The earnest. capable doctor Of public health
of the friends the community has. Every
man and every real good citizen will welcome
him. Will cooperate with him TO the limit.

THE DEMAND FOR APPLES.

It is a singular and suggestive fact that in 1910
this country had fewer bearing apple trees than
in 1900. The United States department of agricul-
This record is somewhat modified by the circum-
stance that within this period there were planted
some sixty thousand trees which had not begun to
yield when the last census was taken. 1t is never
theess apparent, the Farm and Home Magazine
remarks, that scarcely holding own in
this important field of horticulture.
Yet, within the past decade, the population has
grown by leaps and bounds and the demand for
apples has sped forward at an equal pace. There
is perhaps no other fruit that is in such constant
and universal demand and certainly there is no
other that offers the producer farer returns upon
his labor and investment
This subject should be of peculiar interest to the
south and especially to Georgia. The southern mer-
chant and consumer have, for years been importing
paying as a result, heavy transportation rates and
prices that often appear exorbitahe How unneces-
sary is this wasteful practice when here in our
own state we have a climate and a soil which ex-
perts have pronounced ideal for apple culture!
It is gratifying to note that Georgia enterprise
is at length preparing to do away with this condi
ton Of affairs. Investors becoming practically
interested in apple growing and it is not unlikely
that decade or so hence shall be selling Geor-
ga grown apples to the rest of the country instead
of buying from far-off sections.

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE.

Elsewhere on this page appears an interesting
communication in which DR.. James c. oakshette
discusses the duties Of a public health officer from
the standpoint of the individual citizen and family
and particularly, those citizens and families that
live in rural districts.
II there is anyone in Fulton county who labors
under the prejudice that such official is med
dIesome busybody" whose chief delight consists in
giving people trouble, he should read DR.. Oak
shette's clear and factfounded presentation of the
case.
The truth is a Doctor Of Public Health who knows
his work and performs it in the right spirit be-
comes an invaluable friend to the entire commu
nifty.
He saves the people money.
He enhances the value of their own and their
neighbOrs property.
He saves human life.

to that which the family physician renders the
household.
If there is a source of contagious disease in
neighborhood, it is to the vital interest of every
man. woman and child in that vicinity that It be

duties Of the officer Of public health. Without such
service as he give, epidemic may break FORTH
families may find the savings of years swept away
by months illness OF they may be entirely bereft
OF their breadwinner.
Whatever improves the sanitary conditions of a
col munity and thereby protects the home against
sickness and death is a blessing to the common
interests; and the official who sees that health
laws are observed and really aids the people in
observing them is one Of the pubc's truest friends
