Outside of the city of Atlanta the county
has done large amount Of very effec-
tive work in the Improvement of the
grades of old roads, the laying Of substan-
tial and durable pavements, the resurfac-
ing of roads which had become damaged
by wear, the laying of drain pipes for
better protecting the roads from the wa
ter, and the construction of concrete cul-
verts whore the streams passing under
the roads were larger than could be or
dinarily accommodated by the terra Gotta
pipes and in placing oil upon the surface
of old roads, the construction of which
was in too good condition to justify the
removal of the surface for the purpose of
converting them into bituminous macad-
am. and also in the repairing of its
bridges and in the construction of new
bridges on it's roads over the various
streams traversing and bordering the
county. The total amount of earth ex-
cavated during the year on the roads and
other public works outside of the city was
173 $50 cubic yards. The total amount Of
rock so eXcavated was 1854 cubic yards.
The total amount of macadam pavement
laid was S2,SS9 square yards The total
amount of asphalt macadam laid was
11S.22s square yards The total amount
Of surface oiling done was 413,542 square
Yards. The aggregate cubic yards of con-
crete work in the construction of culverts
and drains was approximately 1880
yards. The approximate cost of the grad
ing done was S42,073, of the paving done
was approximately 1857, 454, of the surface

DIAGNOSIS!

II you suspect that you have con-
sumption go at once to your physician
to be diagnosed. Don't delay! Every
day lost decreases the chance Of cure.
And go to the best physician. Even
the best physicians can not immedi-
ately distinguish tuberculosis in its
first stages from other troubles. Elk
poet your physician to take a sample
of your spit, which can be examined
free of charge in the laboratory of the
State Board of Health. If germs OF
tuberculosis are found, that is abso-
lutte proof that the disease is present,
even though you can seeCno outward
signs of it's inroads. II they are not
found. you may nevertheless have tn.
berculosis; in the early stages of the
disease more often than not the germs
will not be found in the sputum. Ex-
pect your physician also to make a
careful physical examination of the
trunk Of your body from the waist line
to the neck. 1t will take him a full
half hour to do 1t thoroughly and, if
he requests 1t, the patient must be
stripped to the waist line.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1913-07-23
DISINFECT!

When the doctor tells you to disin-
feet after the recovery or death of a
member of your household, do exactly
as he tells you. He knows what is
best, and you don't. For instance, you
may believe that burning little sui
phur in the room will destroy the
germs; as matter of fact, 1t will
probably not even kill the bedbugs.
Formaldehyde is by far the best disin-
fectant for most purposes. But formal
dehyde gas does not penetrate. Germs
lodged in mattresses, feather beds,
heavy bed clothing, books, carpets,
wall paper, and similar things are not
in the least affected. Everything in
the room shoHld be opened up as much
as possible. Heavy blankets and sim
liar things should be boiled for an
hour. Especially after consumption,
bedding, mattresses and upholstered
furniture ought. to be burned. After
the fumigation, all the woodwork
should be carefully washed with hot
soapy water and then wiped of with
cloth wet with some disinfecting
solution. Then room ought to be
left unoccupied for couple Of days,
If possible, with the windows wide
open; for, after all, sunlight and fresh
air are the best disinfectants.

SYMPTOMS s!

Not one person in fifty knows accu'
rately the symptoms of beginning con-
sumption. The doctor can detect some
things which the layman can not; but
the following signs anyone can notice.
The commonest symptom is con-
tinual cough, either few spasms OF
coughing each day or little hacking
cough at intervals all day long. A
slight feverish condition between one
and seven o'clock in the afternoon,
generally about o'clock, and some
times lasting only half hour, Is an
other common sign. II a person has
both the cough and the fever the
trouble is almost surely tuberculosis,
especially II combined with a steady
loss of weight; a gradual loss OF ap-
petite; a feeling of being continually
tired or lack Of interest In life, or
night sweats, the other common signs
of beginning consumption. Any one
of these persisting for some weeks
should cause the person concern and
send him to the doctor. Don't delay. De-
lay is dangerous! Find out what ails
YOU! Everything can be gained and
nothing can be lost by knowing
whether or not your affection is tuber'
culosis.

BATH TUBS!-

Keep on friendly terms with your
bath tub. 1t is the business of the
skin to pass off to the surface of the
body some of the waste products. In
the process Of hard manual work or
violent exercises unusual large
amounts of waste products are made,
and the sweat carries them off with
greater rapidity. The action Of the
breeze and the rubbing Of the clothes
remove some of this waste, but 1t can
not be thoroughly done except with
water. A warm bath with the use Of
little soap once week Is the min
imum with which the skin can do its
best work. Baths can well be taken
more frequently. especially II one
takes a great deal OF exercise. Quick
baths in cold water without the use
of soap toughens the body and makes
one less liable to have colds. How
ever, such baths DO not give the skin
a thorough cleansing, and ought not
to be taken by very delicate, sensitive
people except under the recommends
ton of a physician. Baths not only
cleanse the skin. but they also start
the blood to moving faster. 1t Ii
known also that they have a marked
effect on the nervous system. People
who are exceedingly nervous or in
sane can be more easily and surel,
quieted by properly administered
baths than In any other way. Fol
continuous mental and physical health

VISITING NURSES!

A visiting nurse is a trained nurse
with a special experience, supported
by the city, or county, or some char
liable organization, who devotes her
time to visiting the sick, giving them
advice, and such assistance or service
as she can render in a short time. or
course, visiting nurse is unable to
attend cases Of such highly infectious
diseases as scarlet fever in the course
of her regular duties. She is under
the-orders of the physician andNs not
allowed to make diagnoses. One such
nurse can relieve a great deal of dis
tress; but it is rather a harder task
to prevent disease than to cure it,
When, for instance, she goes to look
after one case of consumption ins a
family, she watches the other mem
bers of the household carefully in or
der to see whether or not there are
others just coming down with the dis
ease. She visits patients during the
period of convalescence to guard
against a relapse or the catching Of
some other disease. She educates the
families of her patients regarding
what to do for the patient and how to
take care of themselves so as to avoid
the same disease. There. are at pres
ent few visiting nurses in Kentucky.
Wouldn't you like to have one in your
community? Wouldn't 1t be worth a
little of your money every month for
her support?

NJ E!

Most Of JUS place all together too
much faith in medicine. OF all the
hundreds of known diseases, very few
can, in every instance, be cured by
any single kind of medicine. Some
times one person, suffering with a
given disease, will not be affected, or
may even be harmed by medicine
which has been given with good effects
to another person. Most diseases are
the result of selfindulgence, or care
lessness, or ignorance, and nearly all
of the sure cures, where cures are pos
sible, are provided by nature. This is
especially true in the case of con-
sumption. There are some few cases
that are benefited by medicine, but no
medicine can yield cure, or even a
considerable improvement, unless It
co-operates with the forces of nature.
There are quantities Of medicine sold
in the stores and advertised In every
conceivable way, as cures for tuber-
culosis. Most of them actually injure
the person who takes them; because
most Of them contain opiates or other
harmful drugs. Every one Of these
consumption cures" is planned simply
to enrich the manufacturer at the ex-
pense Of the most helpless people in
the world. If your doctor Is unable
to give you medicine to cure you, don't
think you can pass the druggist so
cents or $500, and cure yourself.

FRESH AIR AND MORALS

1
FRESH AIR AND MORALS
THE outdoor exercise and fresh
air is advantageous to the health
and morals of the convict, two
things which should be given con-
sideration in the handling of this
class of men. Moreover, it per-
mits the convict to feel sense of
responsibility in being placed on
his honor to do work to be used
by and inspected by the entire
public, and the more a man can
be prevailed upon to feel respon-
sibility the more likely be is to
become a good citizen.
The employment of convict labor
in road construction permits the
organization of force which can
b better maintained than with
free labor. 1t is well-known
fact by those engaged in road con-
struction that wherever free labor
is employed it is hard at times to
obtain sufficient labor to handle
the work rapidly and economical
ly, while with the convict system
the men soon become well trained
a n d become more or less per-
manent; the long-term prisoners
instructing shorter-term prisoners
as they are brought in. thereby
keeping the force well organized,
even though few are going and
coming constantly. At no time
should the number of raw recruits
in the camp exceed those who have
had experience. OF course this
policy cannot be followed until
after the system has been in effect
for some time, but these men learn
very rapidly, and when once in
structed they are able to give in
struction to those being brought
in. and those serving long SEN
fences become experts in the hand
ling of materials and machinery,
and usually take a great deal OF
pride in the work they turn out.
Cosl OF CONVICT LABOR.
Convict labor is not in direct
conflict with free labor, as road
work is a class of work which
organized labor does not engage
in, at the same time convict labor
is not so cheap, when we consider
the fact that the cost of convicting
The criminal would usually be
sufficient to secure his labor for
ten years. Besides this cost to the
State, the State feeds, clothes and
shelters the convict, caring for
him in every way possible, and
furnishing him medical attention,
and there is no better way for him
to repay the State for the trouble
and expense he has caused it than
to build highways which will bene-
lit the entire public, affording the
convict an opportunity to improve
his health and his morals, and in
creasing the value of property
throughout the Commonwealth
wherever roads may be built.
Roads built with convict labor
and under the supervision of the
