the demand.
Our church is growing by leaps and

UNCLE SANS EMPLOYEES
STARVING, THEY CLAIM
Labor Leaders Ask Increased Wages
for Workers Outside of
Washington.

Some men in the service of the
pa that they are in the bread line.
said Frank H. -Ainsworth. president of
the federation of civil service employees.
at an executive hearing held this aft
ernoon before the House subcommittee
in charge of the sundry civil bill.
Mr.. .>insworth. who comes from Sal
Francisco. appeared with Thomas ].
F1aherty of this city, secretary of the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks. in an effort to have the sundry
civil bill carry increased pay for 3.39 /
men and S36 women in the public
buildings custodian force throughout
the United States, but outside of the
District of Columbia.
Range of Wages Paid.
The women are charwomen. work
ing five hours day for SIS a month.
and the men range from s." to $40 per
month. The hearing today was 4 part
of the general campaign t" raise the
minimum Of wages of the lower paid
employees throughout the tinted states.
President Ainsworth later explained
that while the employees within the
District of Columbia We're not included
in today's hearing, it was not because
of discrimination. but merely because
the appropriation in question covers
employees outside of this city only.
During the hearing Representative
Borland of Missouri. author of the UNI
successful "Borland rider, asked the
two labor organization men several
questions as to the cost of bringing up
these wages to higher level.
Ornaments VS.. Wages.
The labor men both explained durin g
the argument that while many fine gov
eminent buildings are being erected at
great cost many government employees
virtually are starving.
Last year. during one month. more
than 1000 men and women in the GUS
todian force of the government service
were laid off for eight days. said Mr..
AinsWorth. and the reason given was
that there was no money in sight TO
pay them. In that same month in San
Francisco eight fine ornaments costing
$1,000 apiece were placed on one of
the public buildings there"

A Well Organized Fight
Necessary to Preoent Disease
Says State Board ofHealth

1T is the duty of the District
Health Commissioner to be vigilant in
the work of disease prevention" so
says the Ellis Public Health Law. How
important it is that each county or
group of counties should have an off
ficer whose special work it is to pre-
vent disease!
A garden that is unattended soon
grows up in weeds. Useful plants and
beautiful flowers are choked out. So it
is with the human race-thousands of
useful and beautiful lives are being
destroyed every year simply because
we do not have enough health officers
to keep preventable diseases weeded
out of life's garden.
Germs belong to the vegetable king
dom; they are nothing more nor less
than single celled plants. Some Of
them perform useful functions while
others are positively dangerous.

1t is the duty of District Health
Commissioner under the Public Health
Law to eliminate, as rapidly as posi-
Bile, the harmful germs from his dis :
trict, and, in addition, to suppress the
development of such parasites as cause
disease in human beings.
Pasteur said it is within the power
of men to get rid of all maladies caus-
ed by germs and parasites. Modern
medical science is possessed of the
necessary knowledge required to do
this. 1t merely remains for an organ
iezd fight to be waged The necessary
organization has been perfected in
five OF our Georgia counties and the
work of wedding out preventable NAL
aGies is on in Glynn, Floyd, Tiff
Irwin and Worth The grand juries of
several other counties made the first
Of the two required recommendations
for a county board of health and a
health commissioner last fall, and the
indications now are that the second
recommendation will be made in those
counties this spring.
1t is good to know that the work is
being extended and it is greatly to be
hoped that before long every county iii
the state will have a County Board OF
Health and a District Health Commits
sioner.

COCA COLA PLANT
WILL MOVE SOON

1t has been announced that the
Americas Coca-Cola Bottling Co. will
move from their present quarters to
the Coca-Cola building opposite the
Central of Georgia depot. This build
ing was purchased by the company
some time ago as an investment and
the property is ideal for the purposes
o; the well known bottling works. ].
Y. Warren, manager of the local plant,
says the new place will give the kag-
ons and trucks easy access to the
loading platform and in this way will
save much time.
The machinery of the present plant
viii be installed in the new one and
the new Building being much larger
than the present one insures even
more efficiency than is now being
maintained by the Americas Coca

QUEEN Of. THE ELKS
VOTING VERY HEAVY

The voting for queen of the coming
Elk's State convention is now getting
up in the thousands.
The balloting has been more spirited
this week than ever before.
The boxes will be opened Tuesday
morning and the standing of the con-
testants announced in the press.
From the present outlook, there is
going to be bevy of beautiful girls
representing the thirty-six lodges of
the state, and when the queen is elect
ed and she selects her ten maids of
honor, there will be some beauty show
in Americas.
All the railroads of the state are CO.
operating in the matter of advertis-
ing the Elks' convention, and in each
one of the many letters received at
Elks' headquarters at the Chamber of
Commerce, the general passenger
agents of each line ask what they can
do to help out. All the committees
will meet next week again ,commenc-
ing Tuesday, and busy times from then
to the day of the convention opening
will be the order of things.
