BOARD or HEALTH
WARNS AGAINST
TYPHOID fever

The Georgia State Board Of health
sends out timely warning on pre-
paration to reduce typhoid fever in
the State. Statistics of the State
Board of Health shows that there has
been an increase in this disease the
past year, and the Health Board ur-
ges the people to cooperate with To-
cal health boards in stamping out the
typhoid fever during 1922. The
statement issued this week is as fol-
lows:
During 1921 deaths from typhoid
fever increased 1870 over the previ-
Gus year. This is not altogether sur
prising since the State Board of
Health sent out numerous warnings
that an increase in the prevalence of
this disease was to be expected unless
preventive measures were instituted
"These measures are as follows:
First; the installation of sanitary
apparatus for the disposal of human
filth, which filth is responsible for the
spread of typhoid fever, as well as
other disorders of the intestinal tract.
Second; the administration of anti
typhoid vaccine.
Every individual who reads these
lines is urged to cooperate with the
health workers, both local, State and
Federal, in instituting both of these
measures this year.
If your home is equipped with
neither sanitary plumbing nor sani
tary privy, you should get busy be-
fore another sunset and secure the
protection Of such sanitary apparat-
US. Either your County Board of
Health, or the State Board of Health
will be glad to give you any assist
ance possible, and if you and your
household did not receive anti-typhoid
NEGOTIATIONS last year you should see
to 1t that each one takes the vaccine
at once, and not wait until the supply
,whieh the State Board of Health now
has on hand is exhausted.
q Order your vaccine TODAY and
have your health officer or your fam
lily physician administer it. To delav
is to take "A dangerous and unnec-
essary chance"

LOCAL BOOSTERS MAKE TRIP
TO DUBLIN ELEVATOR-PLAN
Continued from Page u

eta territory.
The idea of this trip to Dublin was
conceived by the Marietta boosters
simply to get at frst-hand informa-
ton that might help to make the Ma
rietta elevator and grain plant big
ger success.
They are home to tell the story
They have heard and seen the actual
evidence of country being brought
out of the throes of poverty through
the workings of a mill and plant to
care for the farmers crops, and to
give him an actual cash-on-delivery
market for anything he may produce
In 1921 Cobb county produced on.
ly 9,037 bales of cotton. The boil
weevil is here and gaining Roadway
by the millions. No one can fore
tell what 1922 will bring forth in
the way of financial loss, if diversi-
fication of crops is not worked GU
this spring and summer.
Last year the Cobb county officials
bought $4,000 worth of corn for
their needs, and all of this corn was
shipped from north Of the Ohio river.
Every dollar of this money should be
spent in Cobb county this year, with
an elevator and mill located in Ma
rietta to prepare the corn for the
market and give the farmer cash
on-delfvery market for the product.
The Marietta boosters say they are
going to make other trips of investi-
cation. A plant at Waynesboro was
erected in 1921, but unfortunately it
was burned three months after con-
struction. During the three months
operation the elevator paid out to
the farmers of the Waynesboro sec
ton S35,000 The plant will be re-
built this spring and will be in oper-
alton for the fall crops.
Work on the Marietta elevator and
mill is going along nicely, and over
$4,000 of the $4,000 stock has been
subscribed. The stock books should
be closed within few weeks, and
everyone interested land we all
shSuld be interested) should get in
touch with one of the stock subscrip-
ton committee at once. Do not wait
Tor them to see you-call and see
