The Sure Way to Test
Roofing is on the Roof

Some men think that they can tell good
roofing by smelling it. Figure it out
yourself. How is any mans nose going
to tell him how long roofing will last
and how much protection from storms,
SHOWS and rains it will give.
And protection and lasting qualities
are what you pay money for.
The only sure way to test roofing is on
the roof.
That is where Certain-teed Roofing has
been tested by time-tested for wear

Certain-teed Roofing has never been

CHILD WELFARE WORK.

We take 1t as a matter Of fact that
a certain number Of people must OF
necessity be sick and die. We take
this for granted and do not inVesti-
gate or inquire why.
So serious a problem involving the
lives of our people should call forth
very serious thought and the desire
for the finding of remedy.
A vast majority of our deaths occur
before the end of the second year.
This comes under the child welfare
work. one of the most important that
can be undertaken. 1t demands all
that can be put into it; all movements
for the betterment of children should
appeal to us and meet with hearty
response.
The Georgia State Board of Health
now has under formation Child Wei
fare Department, and we predict for it
a great future.
There are many diseases that we
have both in adults and children.
i. The recent war has called to our
attention one of the most serious OF
an. Syphilis. This disease is now
considered to be the cause of more
deaths than any other; 1t is said that
one-eighth of all illness is due to II
alone. 1t is one of the few, If not
the only disease, that is inherited. 1t
is. by the way, one Of the easiest to
cure if taken in time, and one that
we have method to show If we are
