RELIEF FOR TUBERCULOUS
CUT CONSIDERABLE
Alto Feels the Legislative Knife.


The State Sanatorium at Alto has
never been properly provided for by
the State; it has never had room to
begin to take care of the early infec-
lions OF the incipient cases as they are
called. No provision has ever been
made for colored people. With an ap-
preparation of only $4,000, it has never
had funds to properly take care OF it's
capacity, even though it is so small as
to be almost negligible in comparison
to the infection.
The next two years will see this
work considerably handicapped, as we
see that six thousand dollars we're cut
from the fund that they have been get
ting. This is to be regretted, as this
institution is one Of the most import
ant in the State. The waiting list has
always been long, and now it must
grow longer. A patient must be re-
ceived in the incipient stage in order
to be benefited, and when the appli-
cant has to wait and wait the chances
for recovering are smaller and smaller.
When the disease is discovered be-
fore there is much breaking down Of
tissue that is the time to receive in
stitutional care, then how serious is
the long wait to get in at Alto. How
anxious must the patient be to get this
expert care, and how impatient the
family and loved ones become when
they are told that they must wait and
wait no telling how long. Do not put
the blame on your State Board of
Health or the management at Alto;
they are doing the best they can with
the money given them.

IS SOME THING WRONG?
ThIriy.Two Thousand Eight Hundred
md Forty-r'hree Die.

A yoeca, study made hy tho i'ureau
OF Vital Statistics OF the Geofgio state
Board OF Health OF percentages OF
death IN certain age periods has
brought out the following interesting
and astonishing facts;
There were S2,S42 deaths i'll Geors
gla last year, 4l9 Of these were deaths
from typhoid and OF these 1890 We're
OF children 10 years old. Malaria
caused $50 deaths, the highest per cent
in The series, Sl1% being in the 10
age group. or the S63 deaths from
whooping cough, 9S.7Go were in the
10 year group; Of the 40S diphtheria
deaths 95.4% were in this period; OF
the 2,543 deaths from tuberculosis,
3.2%5 were in the period; 1871 of tho
1872 pellagra deaths occurred in chil'
dren under nine years old; even tho
1852 deaths from cancer had so
incidence in this age group. The fig
ures that show the most criminal neg
ligence (since the simplest protection
on the part OF tho parent would avoid
most OF them), are those showing thaS
deaths from accidents give $3.50, tho
highest percentage OF all, TO children
from 10 years of age.
Is something wrong? With the age
period 10 represented by percentages,
and high percentages, -of deaths I'M
der every heading, the only conclusion
that can DO drawn is, that We are not
considering cur children tho nations
best asset" nor yet are we giving much
consideration to the future, il the hope
Of the future Is allowed to be sub
iect 10 conditions so ruinous. There
is something wrong; something wrong
with the nation, state, county, city,
community, school or home; something
wrong with the child's food, his clothes,
his rest, or scare. The Division OF
Child Hygiene, state Board of Health,

what you and your community can do
for your child.

FEET MOST ABUSED MEMBERS
According to English Writer, only
About one.Third OF Humanity
Walk IN Natural Manner.

The human foot Is one Of the most
beautiful and useful instruments ever
conceived, but, unfortunately, It is not
what motorist calls "foolproof."
There Is q great deal Of misunder'
standing about our feet. We treat thein
outroe eousiy, as either custom or fash
ion may dictate. AS n result, about
one-third OF the population is splay.
footed, another third walks like hen
on hot cinders, and the remaining
third may be said TO walk fairly nat
ural.
The foot has graceful arch run
hing fore and aft. We take this longl-
tudinal arch, turn the toes outward
so that the heels meet at an angle of
IS degrees, aud then put all our pres
sure in skew direction across the
arch. No railway engineer would
dream of building a straight arch
bridge to carry loads neither across
nor along the arch, but irregularly
uskcw over it.
We ought to walk with our great
toe pointed straight in the direction
Of progress, as Indian runners Ito, and
Spring from the great toe" Instead,
most Of us take OFF, in Il numbering
sort of way from the ball Of the great
toe.
The arch of the foot is supported
largely by the tendon which runs UNI
der the foot to the great toe itself, and
This neglect of use renders this ten
don weak and lax, and causes depres-
sion Of the arch. The best care for
weak arch is the practice Of raising
ones self upon the great toe, that is,
doing as a penalty exercise what YOU
should have done all along naturally.
II you will try when walking to keep
the feet straight, and to end each
stride with little spring off each
big toe alternately, you will be re-
warded by finding that progress seems
easier, quicker and more buoyant.--

WASH YoUR HANDS;
SANiTATE YOUR HOME

A very large percentage of the sick
ness of the human race is due TO tho
eating or drinking OF human eXcre-
nent. This is rot very pleasant TO
think OF and less elegant to write
about, yet il is necessary sometimes
for us to know unpleasant and distate-
full things. When one takes typhoid
fever he has partaken of human
faces; when we have dysentery we
are obliged to have taken into oar
mouths the germs that are thrown off
from one who has the disease in the
movement Of tho bowels. This is
also true Of other diseases.
There are many ways in which these
germs are transmitted from the host,
the diseased person, to the well per-
son. II all human excremont could
be Immediately handled in a sanitary
way these diseases would become an.
cient history
One thing that everyone could DO
to lessen the incidence OF these dis
eases would be the constructing Of
sanitary closets. They are ineXpan-
aive and almost anyone could have
a safe privy. For the amount Of the
Investment we do not know Of a great
Ell return; it is the very best, cheapest
lie insurance policy that you can
take out
The state Board Of Health, Atlanta,
issues bulletins giving you instructions
how to construct sanitary closets for
rural homes and schools, and send
when requested working plans so that
anyone can build such a closet. It
is your duty to yourself and family,
let alone to your neighbor, to build
an approved closet. Write for these
plans and bulletins and gel busy

WHAT KILLS US

We were at war with Germany ap-
nroyimately two years and lost about
$4,000 soldiers all told. During the
same two years the United States lost
100000 of her citizens from Cancer,
243,0OO from Syphilis, and 10000
from tuberculosis.
Most of these death are preventable.
Cancer is neither inherited nor "catch-
ing" and usually begins as a small
growth that can easily be destroyed
or cured if recognized and properly
treated in it's early stages, but the
neglect is so great that it now kills
one out Of every ten persons over
forty years OF age.
Tuberculosis is not hereditary, but
if is Catching" 1t has been proven,
however, that ninety per cent of all
cases of tuberculosis are contracted
before the child is five years of age,
and that adult people are comparative
" immune. "The prophylactic baby
and the sanitary pup" may be amusing
in theory, but in actual practice they
would save more Of our population
than all the ornaments Of war.
syphilis is both hereditary and
catching" Of all diseases in exis-
tenoe it is the most unnecessary, and
the easiest to prevent; and in most
cases may be cured if properly and
nergistently treated. 1t is unfortun
ate that too many Of our people either
think in terms of dollars or personal
pleasure Of the moment and not in
that of human life.

Ancient Maviaators.

The origin Of the art Of navigation
is lost in antiquity, but it is known
that it was practiced with consider
able skill by the ancient Egyptians
and the Phoenicians. From the be-
ginning of the historic period Tyre
was the chief city Of the Phoenicians,
and the enterprise of that people was,
from their situation, specially direct
ed to the sea, and they pushed their
commerce on it with spirit and dar-
ing which, considering their opp0rtl-
mites, has never been surpassed.
They are the first who are known to
have stcered by the observation Of tic
stars, and who could thus venture out
to sea. They ultimately adopted two
distinct kinds Of vessels, the gaulQa
or merchant vessel, with a deep hold
adapted for storage, and the trirenle
or ship Of war.

Armenian Literature.

Prior TO the Fifteenth century Ar
menia's literature is entirely in the
form of religious verse and prose.
The record of secular events IS en-
tirely in her songs. The desire for
freedom and patriotism is the theme
Of her many old songs, just as her
modern music is the expression Of in
tense struggle against oppression. The
period of national greatness, when as
a nation Armenia was free and pros
porous, is told in songs sung by shep.
herds. and at firesides.

QUALITIES THAT WIN SUCCESS
Probably the Greatest Among Them
Is That Subtle Something We
Know as Personality.

1t takes more than mental ability
TO make man and more than the
qualities that are supposed to make
for success itself. 1t is not so much
what q man knows, or his ability in
applying it, as it is in what he is
himself
There turks in some human beings,
in overfowing measure, that subtle
something termed personality which
is likely to carry them much farther
than anything else. Probably charac-
ter, courage and depondability are
the three great assets. Theodore
Roosevelt in his own biography writes
of the two kinds Of success, the one
being the result of natural gifts,
the other being acquired slowly, and
adds: 81 need hardly say that all the
successes l have ever won have been
of the second type. I never wen any
thing without hard labor and the eX-
ercise of my best judgment and care
full planning and working long in adj
vance. l was as a young man at first
both nervous, and distrustful of my
own pr0Wess. I had to train myself
painfully and laboriously not merely
as regards my body, but as regards
my soul and my spirit."-EXchange.

THE MOUTH Is The SOURCE OF
INFECTION

Most contagious diseases find their
way through the mouth.
Disease germs cannot thrive or sur.
yiye unless bad conditions exist.
Defective teeth causes much OF the
sickness among children and adults.
BY careful attention to the cleans
ing of the mouth and sterilization Of
the food, the alimentary tract may DO
rendered comparatively sterile.
From a hygienic standpoint The Sc
cretions Of the mouth constitute one
of the chief resources Of respiratory
infection.
The mouth is one of the greatest
sources Of infection that we have 10
deal with i'll preventive medicine to-
day.
IN the words of Dr.. William O3ler:
"Oral Hygiene-the Hygiene OF the
mouth. There is not one single thing
more important to the public in the
whole range Of Hygiene than that"

City Largely Built en- Piles.

A considerable part Of the founda-
lions Of the city of Venice rests on
piles that were driven into the muddy
shadows Of the Adriatc more than
1000 years ago. The tallest structure
OF the city for many years was the
campaniIe or bell tower of st. Mark 5
cathedral. Ii was q massive structure
Of brick which rose to height Of 321
feet, and the piles Cor It's foundation
were driven in the year S74 The first
campanile was built in 500. In 1929
the foundation was enlarged by dirty
ing more piles, and the tower was re-
built. In 1912 an earthquake brought
it tumbling down, but q new campanile
was Immediately erected. This fell
July IA, 1902, owing to the gradual
failure of the foundation. New piles
were then driven and a new campanile
was erected in 1905 on a reinforced
concrete foundation.
