OPTIMISM PREVAILS IN WASH.

The Armament continues to be the
absorbing event in the Capitals Of the
World and despite bitches in the pre-
arranged program at Washington the
spirit of optimism remains undimin-

on to some of it's rights" but the
process of adjustment is being grad

closer working arrangements between
the organized governments of the

not seem so important, just so long

where povertys sting is felt hardest and where the
blight of ignorance is felt strongest And in these
places of despair and disease and helpessness this
department has been bringing the light of courage,
health and help. Service has been Free and it is
than safe to that the saving of this de-
partment in life and health to the people of Cobb
county has in single month vastly surpassed the
entire yeray appropriation to the department by the
county. To dispense with this department will mean
that all the horrors pictured by the report of the in
dustrial relations committee far as this county is
concerned will receive no further alienation than
already been able to better To do away with it
will mean that we give up dollars in the shape of
shorter life and iseased children and adults in order
that pennies may be saved. 1t is to be hoped that
the people of the city and county--and the latter
receive far more help from the county board Of
health than do the people of the city-will make
such protest that the recommendation of the last
two grand jures will be sustained and the county
commissioners forced thru the weight of an over
public sentiment to undo the act that they
nave announced they would clio the hrSt OF January.
WISDOM FROM BEARDLESS YOUTH: The Jour

imperative value Of the county farm demonstrator in
the past issues We will merely add that while some
people refuse to be told some of them state how
to farm by beardless YOUTH they do go ahead
raising poor crops and getting skinned out of even
the products of poor crops by spectators of various
kinds. Some of the priests and the people of old
fused to listen to the Prince of Peace the grounds

dom along any line that it may come, perhaps, from
beardess youths than it is to continue to be held
down by the burden of failing crops and poor mar

REAL VALUE OF HEALTH DEPARTMENTS

REAL VALUE OF HEALTH DEPARTMENTS:
Most of the people of Cobb county can be classed as
''poor" people. As such, they come within that class
designated by the Industrial Relations Commission
of 1914 having incomes of only $500 or less each
year, and which formed a third of the entire work
ing population of the United States Today this
third receives, perhaps, considerably more than the
annual income of $780, but when compared to the
cost of living just far below the standard of
normal living as was the case in 1914 The indust-
rial Commission stated that the babies in these fam
lilies throughout the United States died before they
reached the first year of age at tn rate of 276 per
thousand, slightly more than at the rate of | out
of every four In families receiving yearly in
come that placed them well above the line of normal
living the death rate throughout the nation for ba-
beS under one year of age only at the rate of
elghtySix to the thousand or less than one out of
eleven The report went further to state that the
reason of this vast discrepancy on account of diff
ference in income lay in the fact that as rule the
poorer the family the less intelligence and means was
at hand to properly take of the babies than was
the case wehere better food proper nursing, mede-
cine, etc, could be applied
In the light of this the fact stands out that every
year in the United States the toll ninfant life due to

ton that the annual birth rate is more than twelve
