could never forget the good women

"some pretty girls gave us black
| berries with real cream and sugar,
and cake, though we were ragged and
dirty" So you see Marietta was
kind and hospitable to soldiers in the

Your State Board of Health
The Institution That Protects
Human LiveS-It Is Yours,
Use 1t.

The Georgia State Board Of Health
was organized in the year 1903. For
a long while it's activities were linn
tied, owing to the appropriation being
so meagre. The foundation for its
ultimate success was we'll and strong
ly laid, however, and the reputation
of its laboratory work well stab.
lished.
The lawmakers year after year did
not see fit to give it funds to JUS
tify the enlarging of it's scope. Laws
were passed that directed this expan-
sion, but no money was provided. 1t
seemed easy to get money for other
departments, but when the Health
Department asked aid, the appropr1-
alton committee became suddenly
very economically inclined.
The last legislators were more lib
eral, giving the Health Department
more money, but when considered in
relation to the increased cost, owing
to wartime conditions, it really did
not amount to very much above the
former allotment.
DR.. IT. F. Abercrombie, the secretary
of the Board, by judicious expendi-
lures, and by several reforms in adj
ministration, has been enabled to put
on the Vital Statistics Department,
The Bureau of Rural Sanitation, The
;cia ~ NJ
larging the Division of Bacteriology.
The various departments are run
ming smoothly and are doing splendid
work. The Division of Vital Statistics
is the latest one to get started, and
is, by the way, one of the most import
ant, and should have the support OF
every citizen of our state. The re-
cording of births and deaths is one
of the most serious of the many func-
tons of the government. An authen-
tic record oftentimes is desired, and
is of the utmost necessity.
The Venereal Disease Control De
partment is being conducted at the
present with Federal aid, and unless
the State should see fit to foster this
most important work, it will not be
continued. This was War Measure,
and a most essential and important
one. Our state is in great need of
this work, it being estimated that we
have in round numbers Fifty Thou
sand cases of syphilis, and Two Hun
bred and Forty Thousand of gonor,
rhoea.
The work of the State Board OF
Health has grown so rapidly, and its
work SO much in popularity, that new
executive offices have had to be Sc
cured, and the space formerly used
for offices given over to the labora'
tories.
When you visit Atlanta, you are
cordially invited to call at your State
Board of Health and look oveI the
plant. The office is located at No
l31 Capitol Square.
Write for bulletins or ask ques
tions. The various departments are
never happier than when serving the
people of the State.

MCCULLOUGH TELLS
Of UNIV. MEETING
Believes Present. Contract
Is in Force Until Peace
is Signed.

Directors of the Northern West vir.
ginia Coal Operators Association met
at the rooms in the Jacobs Building
this morning to heart report of E.
S. Mccullough, labor commissioner of
the association, who gave full detils
of the convention of the United Mine
Workers of Amrica which adjourned
yesterday at Clevelad.
Mr.. Mccullough told at considera-
BILE length of the proceedings of the
convention and the outstanding policy
of the new contract, which the con-
vention has made mandatory upon
the delegates to the joint convention
of operators and miners at Buffalo,
N. Y. on Thursday, including: A sixty
per cent increase in wages and five
day week with one and a half pay for
overtime and double pay for Sunday.
The opinion is shared by the opera
tors that the radical element of the
United Mine Workers held sway and
put across the policy committees re-
port as it stood.
Mr.. Mccullough stated that there
was no chance of West Virginia being
represented at the conference Of the
central competitive states at Buffalo
this year. Iowa, and other states
have knocked at the door, but it was
not opened to the delegates of these
states. He believed, however, that
in the future, West Virginia, because
of its prominence in bitumfnous coal
production would be represented at
the conference table. The way 1t
stands now many of the operators feel
that it is a proposition of taxation
without representation" and smart
under the one-sided arrangement.
One of the points made by Commits
sioner Mccullough was that DR.. H. A.
Garfield is as much federal fuel ad-
ministrator now as he was year ago
and that under the miners agreement
the presnt scale should not be effec-
tive until the actual signing OF peace
He took the attitude that it was ille-
gal for the miners to try to enforce,
another contract November /, when
the present one should still be In
force.
In addition to the directors there
were "a number of the members of the
association in attendance. Among
the directors present were: 9. j. Ry-
an, Hepzibah; A. spatts Brady, 81.

Court House Hunters
Very Successful

W. E. Harris with party of about
six, including Charley Radcliff Will
liam and Harry Bunner and others
arrived home last evening from a
camping trip of about ten days at a
location IL miles from Webster's
Springs on Valley Head. The boys
report fine hunting with squirrels SC
thick that they sat in the tent dool
and shot at hem. Coming back some
complaint was voiced because a armel
charged six dollars for carrying SIX
suit cases the 10 miles. "Glad we
didn't ride too" said the hunters
Probably would have cost US $50 II
we had, at that rate!" Game landed
was as follows: 225 squirrels, 8 coons
4 ground hogs, 2 opossums.
'What did you do with 1t all?" was
asked by interested friends. "oh, we
ate everything" says the hunters in
chorus.
