Representative Hinebaugh, the progress

as a senatorial possibility, ought to get

and will, it is understood, outline the
present status of the remedy" so far
as the public health service is con-
.Cerned.
Greater coordination between all
organizations in the country engaged
in medical research work and the ex-
tension of the work of the Anti-Tuber-

night sc+s+cn of the advisory council.
The question of taking up the study

that greater cooperation be brought
about with municipal health depart
ments and that the educational WORK
be broadened to take in practi ally
all preventable diseases. Others urged
that sex hygiene be taught in public
schools.

GRAND JURORS
were INDICTED
IN LEE COUNTY
VIOLATING PROHIBITION LAW
Albany Citizens Also Among
Those Indicted

News was received yesterday from
Leesburg to the effect that the grand
jury of Lee county at it's recent ses-
sion had just indicted two of it's own
members for violating the prohibitio
law, while another indictment was
against a citizen of Albany. These
are, indeed, sensational developments
from Lee county, where the recent
grand jury evidently did its work
thoroughly.
In addition to its indictment Of
these persons, the Lee grand jury in
vestigated the finances of the county
and the county commissioners, and
recommended a chance in the admin
istration of affairs by the commissions
ers. The grand jury recommended the
selling of the county farm, which, it
was claimed, proved burden rather
than an aid financially. The grand jury
also recommended an examination of
the accounts of the county commits
sioners.
The indictments and work of the
grand jury are believed to have come
largely as the result of the strong
charge given to the grand jury by
Judge q. A. Littlejohn, who urged the
grand jurors to do their duty and not
to shirk it merely because they might
meet opposition. The people of Lee
county are grateful to Judge Little
john for his aggressiveness in doing
his full duty as judicial officer and
to the grand jury for its good work.
