The schools are re-opening for the

CHARLES j. HADEN DESIRES THE
ATTENTION OF JURlES TO
NEW HEALTH LAW.

The vast saving to the public by
the conservation Of health. which has
come about in the cities by careful
sanitary precaution, through efectual
health boards, might be made useful
throughout the counties. The Ellis
health bill was passed by the legisla-
ture of Georgia in 1914. AS this meas
ure is only effective through the rec
ommendation Of two grand juries, the
county official5 who have the distriDu-
ton of the county's money will un'
dertake the work.
Charles ]. Haden, president OF the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. has
requested the judges of the superior
courts of Georgia to consider the ques-
ton of calling this law to the atten-
ton of the grand jur'es in the follow
ing letter:
May we ask that in making your
charge to your several grand juries,
that you call att ,at.on to the act Of

the loss Of human life asd the suffer.
ing from prevcntable diseases-is
about SIC per capita per year and a
| large port Of his could be saved by
the investment OF about ten cents per
capita IN sanitary precaution."
Special attention is called to the
fact that this law ~ been OF great
help. especially in tho schools by eE-
animation OF children, vaccination,
etc, and it is hoped .t1at the next
year or two will show a greater in
terest and improvement in the work
