TUBERCULOSIS AND THE
RED CROSS SEALS.

Oliver Wendell Holmes called tu-
berculosis "the great white plague. "
In his day, however, the real cause
of the disease was not known. Peo-
pie knew its deadly hold upon it's
victims and all they could do was to
dread it and, as some one has said,
pay to be kept out of its clutches.
Today we know that it is not an
hereditary disease. We know that
it is not only durable, but preventa-
Bile. We know what causes it, and
we can study it and fight it.
Indeed, the fight against it is ma
tional, and there are hundreds of
brave men and women all over Amer
lea, as we'll as in the other countries
of the world, who are giving their
entire time to the conflict.
tuberculosis is a germ disease. If
the transmission of the germ can be
stopped, and it certainly can, the
disease can be stopped.

probably the largest source Of infec-
ton. The dust of the streets carries
the germs Flies carry them. Dirt
is rich in the deadly microbes. Foul
air is feeder Of the disease.
All of these causes can be remov-
ed. If we will dc away with them
tuberculosis can be wiped out But
while ignorance and poverty prevail
there will be dirt and debility.
The first step, therefore, is to teach
the ignorant. If people will only
learn the vital facts and make up
their minds to improve their sanitary
conditions they can do a great deal
towards reducing the death rate
among themselves and their neigh.

The annual sale of the Red Cros
Christmas Seals is for the purpose O
banishing tuberculosis. Every seal

is bullet in the war against it.
This is practical and simple wa
for you to help. Won't you do it?
Your Christmas mail and packag
win be all the brighter and mo
worth while if they bear this lit
token of your love for humanity.

Joy is the ultimate wish of the

Joy is bestowed only by receiving
the unexpected, the luxury. Make

WANT GOVERNORS HELP
FOR CHRISTMAS BOOZE.
This Is the Time When Most Harrow
ing Appeals Are Made.


ATLANTA.-Jesse Perry, Govern
or Browns private secretary, is
somewhat of a pessimist; at leasc,
he doesn't believe everything every
body writes in some of the queer let
ters that reach Governor Brown
Office
Christmas is always the time for a
superfiuity of queer letters with beg
ging requests. The governors mail
is full of them just at this season.
One man had his fence blown down
by a storm and he wants the govern
or to help him in having it put back
up. Another lost his COW and he
would like to have the governor con-
tribute to a fund to help him buy
another one. Still another man wants
to get married and the only thing
that stands in the way is S. to buy
marriage license and pay the ex-
penses of his honeymoon.
you know" said Mr.. Perry, 81
am firmly convinced that about nine
tenths of these men who write to the
governor for money really want to
acquire jug of Christmas booze.
And they think possibly if they rig
up the right sort of tale the gov
ernor will fall for it, like an easy
mark.
Isn't the fact that the bulk of
these letters all come in around
Christmas time evidence of it? Why
don't mems fences blow down and
their cows die and why don't men
want help in getting married at some
other time of the year than just be-
fore Christmas? 1t is true there are
some at other seasons, but most of
them come along just about this
time.
"Ill bet if these cases were all
sifted down it would be found that
Is to 80 per cent of them are just as
I have saba desire to acquire
jug of holiday booze"

Dawson Woman'S Club Notes

At the recent tfealth Congress
held in Washington was a light when
flashed up and then died down. Be
meath it was this card:
Watch the light fash At every
flash baby dies somewhere in the
civilized worlds, 053, 500 every
year. One-half of this loss is pre-
ventable."
The convention gave a list OF
''Don'ts' for mothers;
Don't taste the milk from baby's
bottle. To do so may convey disease.
Don't use a ''pacitier." 1t is liable
to cause adenOids.
Don't wash the baby's face with a
handkerchief wet in the mouth. 1t
is dangerous for the child.
Don't take the baby in crowded
places The air in such places is
wholesome.
Don't give the baby bite from
food which you yourself have bitten
Infection may be the consequence.
Don't allow the baby to be expos
ed to flies and dust. Both are COM
mon carriers of disease germs.
The convention then showed an
enlarged picture of a sick-looking ba-
by and added catalogue of explana-
tions as to what was the matter
with it:
1t is fed or taken up whenever it
cries.
1t is fed too much.
1t gets a taste of whatever the
family has at the table.
1t needs a daily bath.
u 10 Ir.vr n1n
1t is taken to moving picture
shows and other crowded places.
1t is bounced up and down.
1t is teased and made to show off
for visitors.
1t is kept up too late.
1t sleeps in a hot room with the
windows closed.
The new born baby is worth only
$50 to the community, because its
average chance of life is so poor. The
healthy man of 80 has an economic
value of $4,000. The communities
are therefore urged by the conven-
ton to prevent the marriage of the
unfit; educate the people to become
PARENTS care for expectant mothers;
control infectious diseases cOnta-
gious diseases are already under con-
troll; inspect food. especially milk;
safeguard the health of women en-
gagged in industry; provide parks for
mothers and children.
While We are trying to help our
boys and girls by giving them the
chance of an education, by making
our town more attractive for them,
by helping them to grow strong and
healthy, by placing higher ideals be-
fore them would it not be fitting that
we rid our town of some of the
strongholds of vice among us that are
such a potent influence in tearing
down the structures we are so anx-
ious to build? If so many of the
cities and the towns, like Dublin and
Waycross, can abolish their red light
district why can't we? If it is out
side the jurisdiction of the city why
can't the county authorities take it
up? They did it in Laurens county.
If it is against the law to rent houses
