Cobb County Endorses
Health Work

The Journal does not believe for moment, that
there is organized effort being put forth to over
throw the Cobb County Board of Health
1t is Uncomfortable to this paper how an individual
Guild work intelligentIy to that end
But if it is true that there has been an effort to
iscredt the work done by the county health doctor
and nurse in Cobb county surely the public demon
sration together with the endorsement and evidence
presented to the grand jury on Wednesday, should
put stop to any opposition that may exist
1t has been convincingy establishe that the peo-
pie of this county strong for the work of the
Board OF Health. How could it be otherwise. No
thing is of more Importance to our people than
health. When the fact is established that county
health doctor and nurse are instrumental in bring
ing about vast Improvement in general health con
ditions of the countya matter of the expenditure of
the county funds is not consideration.
This fact has been established without question.
thousands of instances may be cited as to the won
derful work being done by the boards of health Of
this state and in other states There is not an intel
hgent argument to be put forth against this great
work
mass of evidence presented by the most sub
stantiai and intelligent citizens of Cobb county, to-
gether with testimony to what has been done in
individual eases and in the schools was presented
to the grand jury in Marietta Wednesday. Those
who came through the mud and rain from all parts
OF Cobb county, throng of more than one thousand
people, to endorse this health work is evidence con
elusive that Cobb county places herself on record
as heartily in sympathy with the work and that all
hnanHal AID necessary must be given to conduct
1t IN an efficient and thorough manner.

After the human race had developed through a

"For forty-four years Of my married

could get along without 1t, knowing
what 1t has done for us, and the money
1t has saved. 1t is just as good and re-

its use. My boys use 1t and they are
satisfied it's the best liver medicine
they have ever used"
Thedford's Black-Draught Is purely

Salads and Health Vitambines.

I'm almost every important maya
zine during these days, some refer
ence is to be found to vitamines. A
few years ago no one ever heard of
them. Why this interest? Why the
sensational development of topic of
this kind?" asks Arthur Mize, of Mize
Grocery Co.
1T is because vitamines are essen
tial to growth, health and life itself,
and the American people being a pro-
gressive and intellectual people, are
deeply interested in all three. In
reality the scientists themselves do
not even know what vitamines are.
They know where they are to be
found and how they may be handled,
what they viii accomplishe when adj
ministered to the human body.
Fortunately for all, these vita
mines are found in unusual abund-
ance in the materials commonly used
for making salads and they are there
present in their various forms. Peo-
pie who eat literally of various kinds
of salads are bound to secure in guam
titles sufficient for normal bodily
needs these substances which are so
essential to health, growth and life.
The fresh fruits and vegetables and
the same products, when canned in
the scientific way, the celery, lettuce
and greens all contain these vita
mines and will furnish them in proper
form to the human system when serv-
ed as salads.
The thought on the part of the
housewife should be to make salads
a part of every important meal. Once
a day at least is desirable and twice
