80 PCT RURAL PEOPLE
WITHOUT PROTECTION
State Board of Health Calls At
tention to Alarming Condi-
tons Existing in Ga.

The State Board of Health pro-
pounds this question in connection with
the situation as regards community
health protection in the rural sections
of Georgia.
1t is pointed out that while the in
dlvidual can avoid certain non-commun-
icable diseases through the observance
OF rules, Of personal hygiene and care
full living. he cannot protect himself
altogether from the majority of the
group popularity known as contagious
diseases, except through effort directed
against these diseases by the commun-
tty as whole-7through the mainte-
nance Of community health service.
Practically every man who IS able
these days provides protection for his
family in the form of life insurance.
Insurance against preventable disease
can be provided by your county for
Its citizens-not through compensation
for loss, but by preventing the disease
itself Seventeen counties in Georgia
for the public by maintaining county
health officers and public health nurses
under the provision Of the Ellis Health
Law. The cost Of maintaining a county
health department, when distributed
among all of the people of the county,
amounts to not more than so cents a
year for each person. If you could pre-
vent member Of your family from
having diphtheria or typhoid fever
through the expenditure of so cents,
would you not consider it about the
cheapest insurance and the best IN
yestment you ever made? And yet
this is just what is being done in sew
eEal counties in Georgia today.
Eighty per cent of the rural popula-
ton Of this State is without community
health protection at the present time.
Does your county maintain a health
department, or are you among the un-
protected so per cent?

MEN OF TOMORROW.

THE proper study of mankind is

luen of tomorrow. The habits and
ideals Of the boys of today must de-
termine the character of the men Of
the next generation. The study of hui
nan life, its origin, development and
the vital problems that all young men
must face and solve, is without doubt
the most important study Of mankind.
Tendencies which are apparently III
herent or intuitive are ever at work to
destroy our higher aspirations. disor-
ganizing our best laid plans and con
fusing our moral standards.
There may be such thing as in
heTent character, certainly our capa-
hilities and weaknesses differ greatly,
but character itself is a result of the
building process of one good motive
upon another cemented by high ideals
and noble teachings. The home, the
school and the Church have been called
the tripod of cfYilizatiop nothing could
come bearer tie frath. The bpys of
today must be the men af tohaorrow.
The ideals Of home must Be theft guide

Over LOO of the 1900 farms re-
porting in the last census from Full
ton county were feeding livestock,
and the county's hay and forage crop
was valued at over $360,00O. A sur

that one acre out of every six in the
county was seeded to red clover, al
falfa or sweet clover, an dover 80
per cent of the $4,000 acres planted
to corn had a "catch crop" of soy
beans. Three thousand tons of lime
were used in the county during 1922

factor making possible the return o.
