Chief Law Enforcement Officer Wal
ter K. McAdory by Lamar Field, as
sistant attorney general Chief Nc

be entirely modern, trusts are by no
means new features of life. They are,
indeed, at least as ancient as the pyra-

form of trust was the cornering OF
foodstuffs by monarchs and their
agents. Assyrian records 1000 or

monopolistic transactions by tyran-

TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUuM is
FULL RIGHT NOW

The State tuberculosis Sanatoriun
is full TO It's capacity, every bed filled
and there is large Waiting list OF
patients who are badly in need OF the
treatment given there.
This institution which Is kept full
at all times, can take care Of only 100
patients. There are at best estimate
10000 tubercular persons, white and
black, in the State of Georgia today
and the State furnishes only 100 beds
to care for its tuberculars-at best
only 800 persons can be treated in each
year. No beds are furnished by Geor.
gia for the care of negroes-eVen
though there are two or three times
as many negroes suffering with tuber-
culosis, and these negroes come into
direct contact with very large ma
jority of the white children. Chill
dren are especially subject to tuber-
culosis infection. 70 protect the white
race from tuberculosis, there must be
increased provision for the treatment
and segregation of tubercular persons
Of both races.
A Sanatorium for tuberculosis has
three functions:
/. To treat.
2. To segregate.
3. To educate.
l. To treat those already the vic
Tins of the Great White Plague-to
cure those that are curable-to allevi-
ate the suffering of those not durable.
2. To segregate those persons who
are expectorating the germ of tuber-
culosis-to present them from infect
ing others.
8. To educate patients how to take
care of themselves-to show them how
to prevent injecting other persons-to
make missionaries to carry the gospel
Of good health and of hygiene to the
relatives at home.
In order that the Sanatorium may
function in these three ways, the bed
capacity must be adequate. The Sana-
forum at Alto is not inadequate, but
the size of the Sanatorium at Alto is
inadequate.
To correct this inadequacy, the
Georgia State Board of Health has
formulated the plan to build larger
and up-to-date Sanatorium to care for
at least 22O white persons, leaving the
present plant for the treatment of
negro patients.
This plan would require about $780,
900 for building fund. To finance this
project, it is suggested by the Board
of Health, that the counties furnish
either by public or private funds, one
half the cost For example, the cost
per bed for the proposed Sanatorium
would be $2,500-the county supplying
$3.50 for each bed.
The number of beds assigned to
each county has been worked out on
a basis of death from tuberculosis in
each county-one bed for every six
deaths in a county with Is Deaths
this would mean 3 beds at a cost to
the county of $3.50. The State would
then be asked to match this fund with
an equal amount.
Wherever this plan has been brought
to the attention Of the counties and
their citizens, it has been received with
enthusiasm.
Unless some such plan can be car
riod out, the fight against tuberculosis
will not be successful. If every citi-
zen would see the demand for this
larger Sanatorium and would call it
to the attention Of their Senators and
Representatives In the next Assembly
this plan would be passed favorably
and great advance would be made
against very real enemy to the pub
lie health of Georgia.
