DON'T GIVE, JUST LEND.

So much has been spoken and writ
ten on the subject of Liberty Loans,
that it is hard to find new matter
that is interesting and readable on
this topic. but we feel that the i'm
portance of giving the government
unstinted support in its finances, is
so great that we would urge our peo-
pie to begin to prepare for the next
! loan.
The government does not ask you
to give your money, but it offers you
it's bonds in return, which are better
than money, for they bear interest,
and are as safe as the money. Should
we lose the war, your money would
be no good, your titles would be no
good, and nothing would matter, for
if you lived, you would be serf or
slave of German military master.
We do not yet fully realize, in this
country, the magnitude and impor-
tance of this war. We are not fight
ing to help England, or to free France
but to keep free ourselves. By rea-
son of a common cause, we are fight
ing together, fighting the same foe,
and by reason of our geographical
position we have thus far kept the
fighting to the seas, or on the other
side of the Atlantic, but let the allies
fail, and it would be only matter of
days until our own ports would be in
danger from the Uboats and our own
cities and homes bombarded from
the air.
And if the uboat should ever be-
come the absolute master of the sea,
how impossible would it be to defend
our long coast line from attacks.
Our southern coast would be an
easy mark, as all thinking men will
agree, and let us get serious about
this matter now while the battle line
is three thousand miles away, and not
in our own home towns.
our own home towns.
The horrors lof the war are terri
BILE enough, even at this distance, and
that highly organized nation, that
has made butchery of prisoners a
science, the violation of women, and
the slaughter of children, a common
practice, much be kept from our
shores.
This government is the roof over
your head, the floor under your feet,
the only guarantee you have of being
free man. If it fails to whom can
you go for protection?
1t is the strangest thing to US to
hear our people talk about ''sacri-
fee" and patriotism, when they
have gone without wheat or meat
one day in the week.
Many articles apper in the papers
on this subject, some giving the sub
stitute bill of fare for the wheatless
or meatless day, that would grace the
table of a King.
Just let the Kaiser ana MS mlnlonS
get a grip On you one time, and you
will know what wheatless and meat
less days are, and you will know too
late the value of freedom, you will
realize how great privilege it has
been to be an American citizen, and
how careless you have been with that
great privilege.
This is the test time, this is the
time when it shall be decided whether
free and democratic governments
shall continue TO exist, or whether
civilization shall go backward a
thousand years, and the world be
ruled by the sword and lust of the
most brutal and barbaric race on
the face of the earth.

COMMISSIONERS AND ROADS

The Journal, under it's present
management, announced that it would
"stand by public officials who dis
charge their dtuy, and expose and
make fair criticism of those who are
negligent or corrupt"
Already we have made some enc
mics by publishing some court rec
ords which reflect upon one official.
1t was not in our power to change
those records, nor would we be fair
to the people of Cobb County. if we
withheld them from the people.
We feel now that we must say
word in defense Of some of our Of
ficiaIs who have been assailed unjust
ly.
Last week a local organ saw fit
to devote a very considerable proper
ton of it's space to an assault upon
our County Commissioners. To make
it palmer, it excepted one of the
commissioners by name from its
charges, accusing one by name, and
the others in a general way.
We have made an investigation of
the charges, and find that they were
without foundation.
We call special attention to card
in this issue of The Journal signed
by j. j. Thomas, w. D. Bullard, and
J. E. eagle, County Commissioners,
and ask careful consideration of the
facts as enumerated therein.
1t is plainly apparent that the COM
missioners are working for the best
interest of our county, and taxpay-
ers, that they are honest, faithful,
wideawake, business like officers, and
instead of deserving criticism, they
deserve the praise and commendation
of our people.
The records show that they re-
duced tn county debt by 100000 per
month during the year 1917, in the
face of higher cost of all material
and supplies.
The records also show that the to-
tai tax rate for 1917 was $1.10 per
thousand less than the year before.
Any taxpayer can look up his re-
ceipts and verify this.
More of our public roads were
worked last year than ever before,
and they are now in better average
condition than they were year ago.
They got bad, sloppy and muddy,
during the last long bad weather, just
like they did in the balance of the
state, and the United States too, so
far as that is concerned, and just like
they have every year since we have
had roads, when long rainy spells
come in the winter time.
We have over 100 miles of pub
lie roads in Cobb County, and it will !
take more than $6000.00 per mile
to make them permanent roads.
If the taxpayers are willing to pay
the price, our commissioners can
build permanent roads, otherwise,
they can not
These commissioners have stood by

streets permanent, and it is illad-
vised, unjust and outrageous, for any
one in Marietta who may have pet

tinue week after week, an endeavor
to mislead the public as to their Of
fetal acts.

toward accomplishing this other than to arrive at the
conclusion that it can't be done AT the time the

Tape-Worm.
By ANDREW f. CURRIER. MD.

This is an intestinal parasite
which is nourished by the nutrient
fluids in which it is bathed.
1t is present not only in man, but
in the hog, COW, rat, dog, numerous
varieties of fish and other animals.
Two varieties are common in man,
Taeniae and Bothriocephah A
tape-worm suggests a strip of tape,
being composed Of oblong segments,
averaging about an inch in length.
He has small head, a thread-like
neck, and on the lower surface of
the head are suckers and rows of
booklets by which he attaches him
self to the intestinal mucous men,
hrane.
Unless the head and its nearest
segments are expelled, he will re-
produce himself within three or four
months.
The segments are passed with the
intestinal excavations singly or in
strings which may be several feet
long.
There may be one worm in one in
diyidual, or there may be several
Tape-worm is so common in some
localities that there are tape-worm
doctors whe spend their time and
energies in ridding people of them.
The common form, Taenia solium,
is seven to ten feet long and, when
mature, has from 200 to 450 seq
ments.
His head is as large as good
sized pins head; his neck one-half
inch long; the segments near the
head contain both male and female
generative organs and they produce
enormous numbers of eggs.
The eggs are taken up by the hog
and developed in his stomach or in
testine, a minute head growing out
Of minute cyst.
This larva is carried by the blood
to the brain, eye, liver, muscles or
skin, pork which contains 1t being
known as measly pork.
When eaten raw, or slightly
cooked, or in sausage, it is followed
by the development of the tape

intestine, Of the person eating it, are

Taenia mediocanellata is de-
veloped in the COW and encysted In

that country to import wheat for herself and this after
dividing her fOodstuffs with her neighbor so long,
Sweden is in the same boat while Denmark and Norway

been strong enough to put up fight against the kaiser
Even Spain is treated badly by the country she has done
