Great Need Of Health
Organization In Georgia

AS the years pass, thousands of
human lives are absolutely wasted be-
cause Of the lack of control Of pre-
ventable diseases. To punish this ex-
travagance of human lives as well as
human health and money, it is neces-
sary to institute campaign that will
not only reach each county, city and
community in the state, but each indi-
vidual as well.
/ There never was a day when full
time health men were so much in de-
mand as they are today Men are
awakened more than ever as to the
great needs OF their communities as
regards public health measures. Coun-
ties arc adopting the ELLIS Health
Law" faster than we can get trained
sanitarians to fill these places.
! The adoption of this law by the vari-
Gus counties is one of the wisest steps
that can be taken. The first grand
Jury to meet in one of our newest coun-
tiles, recommended the adoption of this
measure.

Patent Medicines

! One of the strange facts that We are
lat loss TO account for is the thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars that
are spent by our people for what is
ordinarily called patent medicine"
The miracle producing remedies that
are constantly kept before the public
in every way possible TO attract the
attention of a sick and suffering pub
lie. How long such methods can and
will thrive among people who are
supposed to be intelligent and
ordinarily possessed of good com
mon sense and judgment We are I'M
able TO say.
If you are sick you need a physician
and not an advertised remedy. If you
need attention for any i'll, even the
slightest, you need intelligent advice,
individual advice. If you are not sick
you need to save your money against
! the day when you are, and will need
attention. We believe in preventative
medicine, and with the right kind OF
sanitation, regular hours, proper diet
and exercise, you will not have that
feeling that causes you TO rush to a
drug store and buy some body's cure
ALL"
We could mention many different
kinds of these nostrumS but as class
those recommended for the cure Of the
Venereal Diseases are perhaps the
most dangerous. They never cure
They perhaps lull you to believe that
you are cured and at a later day you
will awake to the realization of the
fact that you were not, and that it is
then too late, that you will likely never
be well.
, The Georgia State Board of Health
advises our people to discontinue the
use of all so-called patent medicines
of every kind Consult your physician

NEW SYMPHONY HAS
FIRST CONCERT HERE
Unconventional Programme
Is Heard by Large Audience
in Carnegie Hall.

Tho New symphony Orchestra, Edgar
Varese conductor. gave It's first concert
last evening In Carnegie Hall The
programme comprised the sonata from
Bach's cantata, 1.-THE Heavens Laugh" {;
the gieue from Dahussy's Images pour
Orchestra" Alfred Casella's ''Notte di
Maggie" for oontralto voice and or
chestra; Bella Bartok's "Deux Images
pour Orchestra" and Gabriel Duponts
lie Chant de Ia Destinee," . symphonic
poem. This, It may readily be seen, was
a programme entirely removed from con-
ventionality in plan, but not very liberal
In contrast OF styles.
Possibly those accustomed to the
august presence of q large symphonic
composition In an orchestral programme
may have found this arrangement want
ing In continuity, but It had its own
value. Tho new orchestra, which was
heard for the hrst time on any stage

older orchestras and come thus together
toward the close Of the season to give
concerts and divide the proceeds Just as
the Philharmonic Society used to do In
the years before It became q paid per
manent orchestra. Loss Is TO be pre-
vented by a guarantee fund.
What may be the success OF a new
endeavor in the commonwealth field can
not be foretold nor need Il be. At the
moment all that directly concerns us In
the quality of the new organization, the
merit of it's performance and the inter-
pretations OF its conductor. Mr.. Varese
Ia Frenchman and conducted a festival
concert at the Hippodroms last season.
He pleased his hearers and the impress
sion he than made led to his selection
as the director of the Now Symphony
Orchestra.
With the exception of the Bach music
all the compositions on last evenings
programme were heard for the first time
here. This might seem to suggest tho
necessity OF extended review, but that
shall be spared. Mr.. Varese evidently
has fne taste for the modern tenden-
cies toward melancholy lyricism ba sed
on wry harmonies. In the case Of tho
Debussy work this taste was justified,
though the number Ia not one Of tho
masters most distinguished creations
But Casella's long and lugubrious wall
In several keys at once, with a voice
part appallingly difYicult in its succession
OF intervals, was very depressing, and
little relief was afforded by the pro-
longed composition OF Bartok
The orchestra Is q good one In respect
Of material, although there was a pre-
ponderance of brass last evening. This
defect will be remedied no doubt The
playing OF the organization was sound.
