gia really ought to have such a law,
and now that the public health law is
il. working order, the board needs to
take up a pulmotor and see if the vi
tai statistics measure can be resusci-
tated The mistake the legislature
made in not making an appropriation
for the carrying on of the work of col
lecting data pertaining to births and
deaths should be at once corrected ann
the work should go forward without
further delay.
The board desires to point out, how
ever, that the present vital statistics
law is faulty in many of its provisions,
and that these defects should be cor
rected at the time the appropriation is
made. Unless this is done, the carry
ing on of the work will be unnecessa-
rily expensive; and these undesirable
provisions will also result in the ac-
emulation of very faulty records.

VITAL STATISTICS
WANTED IN GEORGIA
ISSUED by the Georgia State Board of
Healthy

In the spring of 1914 a campaign
was started by various influences to
get vital statistics law and a public
health law established in Georgia. The
state board of health made some in
quiries, and was told, on what seemed
good authority, that it would hardly
be possible to get both through the
Legislature at one session.
The board, acting on this authority
and on the conviction that a ublic
health law would be of the greater
value to the health of the people, in
Istructed its publicity representative to
boost the public health bill especially.
This course drew down upon the board
the displeasure of those who we're par
ticularly enthusiastic over the vital
statistics act
AS much as the board regretted this,
its course could not, in honor, have
been otherwise. One of the prime OBJ
jects in creating the board was in or
der that there might be some well-in-
formed and official body whose advice
could be asked and depended upon in
matters pertaining to the health of the
people. The boards advice was, in
this case, to the effect that since a
choice seemingly had to be made be-
tween two worthy laws, that the pub
lie health act was the more preferable:
since its provisions were directly aim
Ell at the prevention of disease, where
as, the vital statistics act was indirec1
and in the main its purpose was to re-
cord deaths, rather than to preevnt
them.
However, be these as they may, in
the course of time the legislature got
together and passed both acts-making
the vital statistics statewide and he
publict heath act a local option meas
ure
Since then, here and there, a county
has adopted the public health law.
but the vital statistics law, so far, has
never been put into operation, for the
simple reason that nothing has ever
been provided with which to operate it.
In other words, the vital statistics law
was born dead and strange to say, the
various influences that stood god
mother to it have never seriously tried
to resurrect it.
This is very unfortunate, for Geor-

Don't FRAGILE Baby.

There are cross babies and happy
babies. placid babies and nervous ba-
bies. ugly babies and smiling babies
The only difference between a baby
with a mean disposition and the grown
up person with Il mean disposition is
that the baby usually has cause for
his meanness which may be remedied
Although Il cross baby is not always a
sick baby. something is certainly
wrong if baby cries much of the
time. Now and then there may be a
baby that is cross because it does not
receive too much attention. Nothing
makes a baby more peevish than to be
trotted around all day for the amuse-
ment of the family and part of the
night for his own amusement. A baby
tires very easily and. like his older rel
ltives. he is usually cross when he is
tired.

may be permitted in certain cases. The
hours would be breakfast at 6 a. M,
lunch at 10 a. M, dinner at IL M,
lunch at 3 p. m. and supper at p. m.
Some children never need the light
lunch between meals, and it should be
abandoned If not required. When used
the single small glass Of milk or milk
and bit of cracker is all that the
child requires. The hours for meals
should be scrupulously observed, as it
is Of prime importance that the food
be given at regular intervals and that
the hours of rest between the taking Of
food be sufficiently long to give the
stomach an opportunity to recuperate
after its last period Of work. Proper
habits at the table are not merely q
matter Of courtesy. Food should be
properly chewed, because it can only
be properly digested in the normal
length Of time under such conditions.
Milk.-Remember that during this pc.
Rod milk is the chief article Of a
child's diet, and for this reason the
mother should know her dairyman and
be sure that she buys the best and
cleanest milk available.
Cereals.-Cereals form another large
portion of the diet. They must be very
thoroughly cooked, the fireless cooker
being the easiest and best means Of
preparing them satisfactorily. Oatmeal,
the heaviest Of the cereals. should not
be used in large quantities. Farina,
cornmeal and rice may all vary the
diet. The dry cereals are often ap-
petizing, but their food value is small
except for the milk or cream which is
used with them.
Meats.-Meat should be very spar

How Javaness Settle Quarrols.

The Javanese manner of settling
Quarrels is quite original. When one
party gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door Of
the offender circle with straight
line across it, indicating that his affec-
ton, which would have been eternal,
has been cut in two. Friends Of both
parties then shut them up. They par
ley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prattle as little children and
finally as men become recOnciled and
embrace. Should one be refractory and
refuse to be cOnciliated he is ostraciZed
by the community SO effectually that
he is soon brought to terms.

Common so-called colds" are the
most widespread and least danger
Gus, it is said, of all infections. The
term catching cold" hides a tremen-
dous amount of ignorance and re-
lieves many careless physician
from criticism. Many persons be-
lieve that exposure to cold and drafts
produce this trouble. Hence the
term "catching-cold. AS an actual
matter of fact a thermometer will
show that instead of having caught
cold we really have fever. If per-
son has made dollhouse plant of
ones self then exposure to draughts
and cold may do some harm, but
more colds are caught by going into
poorly ventilated and crowded rooms
than by exposure to cold. Under
these conditions there is often times
a dryness of the nose and throat,
which certainly makes it more liable
| to infection. The normal secretion
of our noses is a protection against
| infection, the flow being outward and
washing out dirt and germs. The &C
ton of this secretion is readily seen
when ones nose is blown after a
dusty railroad trip. Exposure to
drafts in a person who is not accus-
toned to an abundance of fresh air
| sometimes produces a similar result.
Colds are unquestionably contagious.
Just what germ produces them is not
positively known. 1t seems certain
that several differet kinds have the
power, since the "cold" is only an in
fiamation of the nasal mucous men,
brane, and is not specific disease
in the sense that typhoid fever and
tuberculosis are.
