to see that meat was not tainted.
HippQcrates wrote many sanitary
rules. Roman houses, in some in
stances, were heated by hot-vatcr
pipes from furnaces, though chim-
neys were improvements of a later
day. Piutarch. in the reign or Ira
ian, wrote a Regimen for Higher
Classes, and especially opposed the
habitual use OF emetics encoura god
nursing of babies by mothers, and
advocated general sobriety in Iiyins
as the basis of health. =. -
Though the anCients laid stress on
preventive measures. and advocaHed
bodybuilding as protection against
useasc. medicine was known 10 a
surprising extent, even among the
Egyptians. many thousand years be-
fore Christ. =
The Egyptians, too. are believed
TO have been the source of the ex-
.enslVe sanitary code transmitted by
moses toIioWfng his sojourn In the
land of the Egyptians. Clement
states that Moses studied both med
lcine and chemistry under the Egyp-
tlans. The Levites are character
ized by DR.. Lamb as the Sanitary
police of the Hebrews
Disposal of the dead always has
been a problem, as 1t is in our day.
Danger of carelessness in this re-
sard has been shown by the deadly
gases arising from spots in which
large numbers of bodies. killed in
battle, were buried Early in the
dawn of Egyptian civilization two
methods of disposing of bodies was
conceived. One was to place the
body I'm squatt:ng position and
cover ii with skins. The other was
to remove all flesh and bury the
skeleton. Later the elaborate sys-
TENS Of embalming grew up. The
Hebrews learned this art from the
Egyptians. Evidence Is found Of the
latter day practice Of embalming in
the accounts of the burial of the
body of Christ, wrapped in linen
with spices, myrrh. aloes, about 100
is said in the writer's of the gospels
to have been after the manner of
the burial of the Jews.
Soap Is mentioned several times in
the Old Testament. But 1t Is be-
lieved the reference was to ashes Of
plants and similar purifying agents.
Soap. in the modern sense, was
made in writings of his time to the
hard and soft soap which the Teu-
tons are thought to have introduced
in Rome.
Roman baths, of course. are
known to every school child. At one
time there were $50 public baths in
the Roman capital alone. With
Greeks daily bathing was universal.
The wide prevalence Of plaques,
common in ancient times, has been
superseded as knowledge of causes
of disease has increased. But even
the ancients took precautions. and
the quarantine was not unknown
to them. Lepers and scrofulous
persons were segregated by the
Hebrews, though the quarantine
was not always strict. A separate
house was built for King Uzziah.
Naaman. the Syrian general. min
gled with the people, despite his
ailment. Jesus was criticised for
going to the home Of Simon. the
leper. because OF his violation of
the Hebrew health regulations.
Evidence abounds in ancient writ
ings Of a widespread knowledge OF
the simple laws of health. In the
Medical Museum in Washington

THE COTTON SITUATION.
Marietta, Ga, Sept. IS, 1914.

Marietta, Ca, sept. 10, 1919.
Editor Marietta Journal:
II appears to me so important at
this time for our farmers to begin to
lay their plans for their work and
crops for the coming year that the
newspapers of our state should carry
a column each week upon the sub
ject .MMW
II is apparent to those who are the
most careless of the future that il
will never do for us to grow another
big crop of cotton next year. 1t
would be suicide to the farmers in
eerest as well as the general bust
ness interests of all our people.
The cotton crop for 1914 from all
reports from the cotton belt is go
dng to be much larger than most of
us expected and even if there should
have been no war in Europe it is
extremely doubtful with big crop
an sight whether the price would
have been satisfactory and up to our
expectations.
And now with the war conditions
confronting us, with 2-3 of our crop
now being gathered and usually ex-
ported thrown back upon our hands,
producing congestion in the Amer
2can market such as we have never
seen before, what are we to do? To
what source of relief may we turn ?
Are we going on with the hope
Ehat Germany may be whipped into
submission. the war ended and peace
again brought about in Europe, and
cotton Immediately back to IL cents ?
NO We cannot afford to do that,
we don't know when the war will end
and even if it should end at once
how could the mills of Europe with
their finances broken by war hope to
resume operations and give us imma-
'dlate relief by raising the price of
s,otton?
The people OF America who are CO.
operating in our "Buy-a- Bale" move
ment can't save us unless we cut our
crop so per cent next year. Not a
one of them would buy bale now
II they thought we were going to
plant another big crop next year.
1t is generous of them to come to
the rescue of distress cotton but all
OF their generous efforts would come
to naught if we should follow the
usual custom of saving all of our
best land for cotton and planting
every acre we can.
Now, there is only one solution.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1914-09-18

only one thing TO do and that is put
a large portion of our best land this
fall in wheat, oats, clover and al
falfa and turn a good portion of our
remaining lands for big corn crol
for the coming year.
Now is the time to do the work
for it will be too late to SOW the
wheat and oats after the winter
rains set in. Now is the time to
prepare and SOW an acre or so in
Alfalfa and clover for feed next
year, for corn is going to be corn"
next year to the man who has to
buy.
We must grow food crop sfor man
and beast, for cotton as food won't
be very digestible.
We have really got enough cotton
already in sight to do us two years
and if we would only hold half of it
and let it answer for next years
crop we would be far better off.
There is a disposition among an
occasional farmer to wait and see
whether his neighbor cuts his cot
ton crop, and then jump in and plant
all of his own land in cotton,
but this won't do Every Man
should do his part in the reduc-
ton of acreage, and the best
way to do it is to SOW the land this
fall in grain and then 1915 cotton
crop can't be made on it.
| undertake to say that as large a
net profit can be made, on land that
would produce a bale of cotton per
acre, by sowing it in oats and fol-
lowing it with peas as can be made
on the same land planted in cotton
even if cotton should bring a fair
price
The secret is in the preparation Of
the land and the quality of the
seed.
| want to urge every farmer in
Cobb county to do his part by sowing
(do it now, not next year, a big
crop of grain, and just keep your
cotton that you already have and
save the toll and sweat it would re-
quire to make it over again next
year.
| always like to see land turned
and narrowed well for oats for it
produces better oats, but | say sow
oats and wheat and SOW early even
If you have to take a guano distri-
butor and drill them between the
cotton row before you finish picking
cotton. Then after the stalks be-
come dry and brittle it would be easy
to chop them up fine with a stalk
cutter and get them out of the way
and then next spring if you would
put on small top dressing of nj
trate of soda and run a harrow over
the land the oats would make L
splendid yield which would be made
cheaply.
Something's got to be done. This
is my idea as to what we ought to
do. If there is any good citizen who
knows something better | would GER
tainly feel under lasting obligations
for him to Speak out in meeting
before it is too late to do us good.
Yours very truly,
JOHN. p. CHENEY.
