Assuming that the tax rates are

Gent government, it stands to reason
that man in Georgia paying on 1895
should receive approximately three
times the protection that one in South

yet the opposite is true for the tax
payer in South Carolina receives Just
three times the protection afforded
the tax payer in Georgia.
The per capita crop value for 1919
was $20733 in Georgia and $685. in
Alabama. The assessed realty valu.
alton per capita in Georgia was

life in Georgia is Of no less value than
in Alabama, yet although the Georgia
citizen produced S37.53 more and paid
taxes on $SS.74 more than the Alabama
citizen, Georgia invested only 81 cents
to protect that citizens health. while
Alabama invested 81 cents, more than
twice the amount for the same pur
pose. This is the reputation that
Georgia statesmen cannot brag of. II

of the child is of fundamental import

years old; of this number 31.7% were
of infants and pre-school age children.
We have done some effective work
along the lines OF TIE health OF the

Unfortunately, mankind tends to
work on the latter the fact" plan; we
wait until some evil occurs, then strive
to correct it. Disease is not only
caused by disease germs transmitted
by flies, impure water, etc, but Of
equal Importance is the state of the
individuals resistance. We should not
wait until the child is sick and then
take it to a aoctor. We are treating
the child as ''the nations best asset
only when we keep him well. AS some
one has said, "the way to keep people
from dying is to keep them we'll"
