WHAT THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW

They must know the widespread
prevalence of the veRereal diseases;
the far-reaching havoc wrought by
hem.
That they are infectious and COM
nunicable
That gonorThoea and syphilis often
remain in latent state for years after
| supposed cure
That the cessation of the discharge
loes not mea ma cure of gonorrhoea
nor does the disappearance of visible
symptoms mean the cure of syphilis.
They must know that they are fire.
luently carried into the home and
'amily after a supposed cure
That in the female gonorrhoea has
UGH a wide range of manifestations
hat there may be no indications what
aver of disease, or there may be any
md every symptom of female trouble
!p to the most severe and critical ILL.,
Tess.
That a large part of so-called female
rouble Of married women is due to
;onorrheal infection from the old lat
Mt cases in their husbands.
That thousands of good women die
lr undergo serious mutilating opera
ions from the same cause.
That most of the persons who are
blind from infancy are victims of gon-
)rrheal infection of the parents.
They must know that all syphilitics
IRE not horrible looking specimens
With sores and ulcers; that only for
short period are there skin erup-
ions, and that superficial sores and
Ulcers appear in but few cases: that
most syphilitics can mingle in any
rowd unnoticed; that there are thou
ands of these.
They must know that large nercen-
age of the inmates of the insane asy-
lums are there because of syphilis
That many diseased, defective and
reformed children pay the penalty for
heir parents infections.
They must know that nature seldom
effects a cure of these diseases, but
that they can be cured by thorough
and persistent treatment
That II not cured the penalty is
certain and the infection will most
likely be communicated to many others.
That every really cured case breaks
link in this chain of infection and
lessons the Danger to all.
That ninety-five per cent of all pros.
flutes have one or both of these dis
eases.
That the female prostitute is the
source of infection; the male prosti.
tute is the carrier of the diseases.
That the Georgia State Board OF
Health furnishes pamphlets ON these
diseases free for the asking.

animation it is found that more than
9O%c of the births are being recorded,
then Georgia will be admitted to the
Registration Area with the other pro-
gressive States. II not, then she will
remain in that backward class, in which
a deed to every foot of land is re-
corded, evGry standardized animal is
registered, but in which the human
baby about whom you hear so much,
as to its value to the State and as
TO the protection of its rights and as
to the prevention Of it's unnecessary
deaths, goes along with the cur deg,
the razor back hog and the jackass,
unregistered. Consistency is indeed a
rare jewel
The reputation Of a county for law
enforcement may be made or ruined
very easily. II this examination, there
will be no eT1mates as to the enforce
ment of this law, for nothing but veri-
fled facts WIN be accepted, and the
county viii ~ rated ON these verified
records

tuberculosis Preventae

II tuberculosis Is preventables why
then is it not prevented Are the
thousands who are to die during the
coming year worth the saving? II we
knew that we should be among the
number, should we not think II ter
rible thing? II the treatment 10 simply
hygiene, is it not strange that We are
not willing to live hygienicauy untn
after we have contracted the disease!
II 100000 people die annually Oh
tuberculosis in the United States, and
an equal number are cured OF the dis
ease by sleeping and living IN the
open air. why would 1t not have been
better for them to have lived and
slept in the open air before they got
sick, and thus have avoided the dAs-
ease? II sleeping and living IN the
open air is good for the sick, why
is 1t not good for the well7 Is 1t not
better to stay we'll than to be cured
of tuberculosis?
If typhoid fever Is preventabie, Why
then is it not prevented? The pre-
vention Of typhoid IL not matter or
medical science any longer; 1t 10
only a question of public and per-
sonal sanitation. Why swallow the
germ at all. and if it must be swal
lowed, why is 1t not killed first by
boiling or otherwise?
If smallpox is preventable, why then
is 1t not completely prevented? 1t iB
only matter of universal vaccination
and is no longer a question Of medical
science; it is one Of personal suicide
IL you die of smallpox.
II SYPHILIS and other venereal dis
asses are preventable, why then arc
they not prevented. They are caused
by specific germs, and no one need
become infected with these germs I'M
less they want to. The prevention Of
his class Of diseases is no longer .
question of medical science; 1t is one
Of personal choice.
The Lord of creation has given man
dominion over the world and the full.
ness thereof, which includes the choice
If good and evil. and incidentally the
means Of life and death.

During the coming spring, the Cen
Wus Bureau will make test of the
birth records of Georgia and unless
MANY of the counties increase the num-
Der Of births registered, similar show
ing will be made, which will not re-
feet credit On the county.
In the first six months Of 1922, there
we're 80 counties showing the birth OF
over 80 babies per 1000 population,
with % counties showing q rate below
is, although in North Carolina in 1921
there were five counties which showed
a rate over 4S, and rs counties between
80, and 40. The banner counties in
Georgia during the first six months Of
1922. with their birth rates, were as
follows; Quitman 80, Pickehs 49,,
Bleckley, Habersham and Towns 81,
White IS. Appling, Brantley, Catoosa,
Charlton. Cherokee, Douglas, Fannin,
Forsyth. Gilmer, Grady, Hall, Haral-
SON, Hart, Heard, Jones, Lanier"
Long,, Marion, Milton, Mitchell, Mont
gomery. Pork, TOombs, Union, Epson,
Walton and Wayne had rate between
80 and IS.
This is an excellent showing for these
counties, and many others will show
up well IN the coming examination for
every registrar has received a state
ment indicating the shortage Of his
district and the active registrars are
at work now securing not only the
current records, but also those for
births that have occurred and have
not been filed during the past months
The poorest registration was shown in
% counties which are thought to have
filed only 500 or less of the births
that occurred. They are as follows:
Baldwin $3.50, Bulloch 500, Burke
24%, Butts 1870, Calhoun 1870, Chat
tahoochee $3.50, Coffee 35%, Cook 500
Dawson 1879, Emanuel 500, Fayette
500, Glynn 1870, Hancock $3.50, Har-
ris 40%, Lee 1870, Liberty 29%o,
Lowndes 94go, Pulaski 24Go, Sumter
1870, Taliaferro 1870, Washington 4O%
and Wilkes 1870.
This statement is made so that the
citizens in those counties showing a
shortage during the first six months of
this year may know what to expect
unless they demand and assist the reg
1strars of births and deaths to secure
q complete record of every birth that
has occurred in their county this wear.
If a county falls below the average in
the examination, it is because the reg.
fstrars were not active or the people
did not give them the necessary help

The free school fund can never be
equally divided until the state and the
counties have a complete birth rec
ord Of every child. So long az the
division is based on the statement OF
the age Of the child made by an ignO-
rant parent, some children will be de
prived Of their just proportion, for
many parents do not know the exact
age OF the children. This is especially
true as to the negroes. Under the

LIME FoR THE TEETH.

Lime water made of common lump

is perhaps the very best mouth wash;
it cleanses the teeth perhaps better
than anything. 1t should be held in
