A Little Reminder

Remember that the Blue and
Gray pool is open and running all
the time. 1t is full almost constant
ly from two o'clock in the afternoon
till about nine at night. No small
number of the bathers are ladies as
it is an ideal place for anybodody to
spend the afternoon. Since the I'M
derbrush has been cleared out of
the park it is a nice place to have a
picnic. The water is always clean
so you need not be afraid to 90 in
on that account. Go down there
this evening and enjoy yourself as
you never have before since the last
time you went in the pool.

The Public
Health Bill.

1t should be remembered that,
parAI'eling the Vital Statistics
measure, is the Public Health
DILL by Mr.. Ellis, of Tiff. The
aattcr is Of far-reaching concern to
every county and every home in
the commonwealth. 1t is estimated
that preVentable disease now levies
upon thc people of Georgia a year
Ay tax of some forty-one million
dollars, or nearly sixteen dollars
per capita. This enormous liabili-
tY can be cut down and, indeed,
transformed into a splendid asset,
If the principles of the Public
Health Jill are carried into effect.
The main purposes of the measure
may be summarized as follows:
To establish Statewide system
of efficient sanitation "bv putting
into operation State and county
machinery for applying modern
sanitary methods in the proven
ton of disease"
To give rural districts, villages
and small towns sanitary protec-
ton as good, SO far as is practi-
cable, as that now enjoyed by the
larger cities.
To safeguard cities against con-
tamination from rural districts
~'to make clean and pure the sup
ply of milk, water, fruits ard vege-
Sables"
To safeguard the travelling pub
2lc against contagious and infec-
Gious diseases.
To provide systems of medical
inspection for public schools, those
of the country as we'll as the urban
districts.
To eradicate preventable diseases
such as typhoid, tuberculosis,
.diphtheria, smallpox and malaria.
To protect the public's health
against the acts of ignorant, care
less, or indifferent individuals.
To provide adequate machinery
and responsible officials for the
enforcement of health statutes and
regulations.
The bin embodies the best ele-
ments of public health legislation
throughout the United States, and
Us peculiarly well adopted to the
needs of Georgia. Its enactment
will mean the saving of millions of
dollars aud thousands of lives. If
the Legislature would serve the
people, it cannot do better than
70 pass this bill! without delay
