Hart and Franklin counties have
been state leaders in the movement
for some time; but the development
of Jackson and Madison counties has

Mitchell County Strikes
Blow At Malaria

CAMILLA. Ca, Nov. 2-The 10.
cal grand jury this week recommended
the adoption of the provisions of the
Ellis Health Law, which provides for
a hcalth board of three members one
Of whom shall be physician. one SUI
pcrlntendent Of county education and
one chairman of the board of county
commissioners.
What makes the law so important
to Mitchell at this time is the fact
hiatt several agencies striving to pro-
mote good health are already at work
in Camilla in an effort to lay foun-
dation for the final determination of
the malarial mosquito. Heretofore.

they could work and the lack of one

rectcd With Mitche1ls start on the
malaria pest, it is to be hoped that in
the near future this county will be
the first one in the union where ma
laria is present to be able to announce
that it is free from this greatest drain
on the industrial vitality of the agri-
cultural sections of the south. There is
already, it is asserted bv authorities
on the subject, less malaria in Mitchell
county than at any previous time in its
history at this season School after
school and community after commun-
ity have been visited by representa-
tive of the United States public health
service, and where before an effort
was made on systematic scale TO
combat malaria, il is rare now that
even a light case can be found In
one particular school where two wears
ago more than twenty-five per cent
of the student body was infested with
malaria. out of some three or four
hundred children there were but two
that had had chilIs or any common
symptoms of the trouble, and these
were not certain.

Blind Wives" A
Photoplay of Ex-
traordinary Power

If the writing of Uncle Toms Cab
in" was really the principal instrument
in the eventual emancipation of the
slave, then Blind Wives the new
William Fox special screen production
now at the Grand theatre, is the in
strument that is going to cmancipate
a 10 of lovely women who are slaves
| to personal vanity.
Blind Wives" which was made
from Edward Knoblock's internation-
al stage success "My Lady's Dress"
is one of the most powerful arguments
that ever found its way to the screen.
| 1t strikes at the very vitals of womans
vanity. 1t tears costly gown to
pieces, and shows you the poor mis-
cradle elements toiling in darkness
and suffering who have manufactured
the dress. 1t shows you the length to
which some women will go to arouse
| envy in the eyes of their sisters and
admiration in the hearts of men. And
finally it shows you the woman crush
edwith remorse, and putting aside her
folly. to sink in utter humiliation be-
| fore hit ehusband vino had humored
her at the cost of tremendous self
sacrifice and overwork.
In making this most pretentious of
Fox productions it was found necess-
airy TO stage a complete fashion show,
in order to locaize properly one of the
most graphic incidents of the story.
Mr.. Fox enlisted the aid of Lucilles
(Lady Duff Gordon), the noted mo-
diste, with the result that those who
have the privilege of witnessing the
story of Blind Wives" will be as in
innate observers of New Works most
exclusive fashion show as though they
occupied the luxurious chairs at the
famous fifth Avenue establishment.
The same beautiful models that
move with stately grace down the vel
vet carpeted aisles Of this noted insti-
tuion are Introduced ono by one. wear
ing a series Of creations the total pur-
chase price of which would rival a
kings ransom. The gowns worn in
this remarkable setting were made ex-
c'usive1y for this production. and rep
resent an accurate forecast of the
years tendencies in style.
Then there are wonderful scenes
from various lands that had each
part in the making of milady's dress.
Scenes of strife and hardship and pri-
walton. There is, in fact, so much of
the unusual in Blind Wives" that will
live long in the memories of those who
see it at the Grand Theatre Monday
November 9TH.

these city business men that their en-

them, but pointed out as particularly
worthy of support "the movement now

teachers, restoration of an additional
grade in the grammar schools and the
establishment of hot lunch system in

improvements taken under considera-
ton by the advisory commission OF
the board of education at a meeting
Wednesday.
The advisory board composed OF
teachers from various schools of the
city, was recently created by the board
of education for the purpose of taking
up school matters Of importance. and
thrcshing them out and then SUBMIT
ing them to the school commissioners
Miss Jessie Muse, principal of he
Girls High School, presided over the
meeting. The school work for the
coming year was tentatively outlined
and the members of the committee
were sounded out" for their views
on problems which demanded early
attention.
After thorough discussion, the com
mittee decided that free tex books for
he school children were badly needed
in Atlanta and that campaign in this
direction should be inaugurated. Mem
bers Of the board of education have
alread ycommitted themselves to this
idea, but admittedly are baffled as
to how it can be accomplished at this
time. The advisory board probably
will go into the matter further at a
later meeting and make recommended
tons to the school board before the
end of the month.
