EDIT O RIAL
COMMENT
THE DEADLY TOLL FROM
MALARIA.

DR.. Craig Barrow, chief sur
geon of the Central OF Georgia
railway, sent to every member
of the Senate and House of
Representatives a strong appeal
for more liberal appropriations
to the State Board of Health
for the purpose of combating
malaria in Georgia. With his
letter he presented data which
should indeed receive the most
earnest attention, and while it
is undoubtedly difficult to IN
crease appropriations for any
purpose until new tax systet.
has been devised, it would be
in the interest of true economy
to do so.
In the first place, it is point
ed out that Georgia's per capita
appropriation for public health
is exceedingly small in COM
parison with that of other
states. 1t amounts to 81, while
with this may be compared the
per capita appropriations of
several other Southern states as
follows: Alabama, 4 6.8; South
Carolina, Ga; Virginia, T3;
Kentucky, 10.6; North Carolina
1876; Florida, 25.8e~It will thus
De seen that the per capita APP
preparation of Florida is eight
times that of GEORGIA.
Just how serious the situa-
ton is in regard to malaria is
seen from the showing that the
number of deaths reported from
139 counties in Georgia were
as follows: 1920, 481; 1921,
468; 1922, 584. In two years
time the number of deaths in
creased 103. Each death is es-
timated to represent 400 cases
and corresponds to 1000 to A.,
900 days of sickness.
In 1922 Georgia had at least
233,600 cases of malaria, which
meant about 1,752,000 sick
days. The cost of each case, for
medical attendance, drugs,
nurses, etc, notacounting loss in
wages or the economic loss of
production, was $1,635,200.
In Bibb county last year
there were seventeen deaths,
and assuming that there is one
death for every 400 cases,
which statistics have shown to
be about correct, there were
$500 cases, at an average cost
of 81 per case, merely for med
icine, medical attendance, nurs-
ing, ETC., as indicated, the loss
to Bibb county alone amounted
to $4,000.
That malaria can be con-
trolled effectively is shown
by the experience of the Cen
trail of Georgia railway itself
A diagram sent out by DR.. Bar
row shows that in 1919 the
number of days lost from work
by the bridge and building en-
ployes of the Southwestern di-
vision amounted to COS. In
1921 this figure was reduced to
28 days; in 1922 to 81. In the
Savannah shops the figures
have been reduced from % days
lost in 1919 to none whatever
for the past three years.-Quit-
man Free Press.

It is not often the case that
canned tomatoes are bought in
carload lots, but this is just what
an enterprising grocery house in
this city did recently. A few
days ago, Mr.. Z. D. Ansley the
grocer, received samples OF goods
canned It; Marshallville, and so
well pleased was he that he pur-
chased the entire stock of goods
on hand at that time, consisting
of something over 500 cans.
Mr.. John kay, the merchant
tailor, was presented yesterday
with specimen of wool of the
Vicuna sheep, which is perhaps
the most valuable known to the
trade, selling at $11.s5 per
pound.
The old wooden depot that fol
nearly forty years has stood at the
foot of Wheeler street, is beinG
torn down in the general march
Of progress in that part of the
city. When the southwestern rail-
load was built from Oglethorpe
to Americas, away back in the
fifties, this old depot was quite a
rretentious building, and no doubt
was regarded with much pride bv
our people. It is to be torn down
to make room for the extension of
Harold & Johnson's big COM
press.
Buzzard Roost the old frame
building on the corner near, the
Artesian well has been given
coating of white wash from TOP to
bottom, and the occupants are so
"stuck-up' over the fact they dis
dain to notice coon who lives in

CLOWN

Pete Conklin, veteran clown, is
said to be the last surviving per-
former of the original P. T. Bar
mum circus. He has been clown
ing for 70 years. Started when he
was 49,
Recently Pete washed off his
grease paint and powder, and took
the first vacation he ever had.
His idea of an entertaining vaca-
ton was to mingle with and watch
the crowds-his audience. An old
animal trainer once told US that
monkeys have more fun watching
circus crowds than the crowds
have watching the monkeys.

IMAGINARY


Regarding that penniless doctor
who died in California under the
delusion that he was worth five
million dollars: AS far as he was
concerned, the delusion was just
as good as having the actual
money, and maybe better.
When Ford, the worlds richest
man, banks a million he doesn't
get half the thrill of the small boy
finding a few pennies. Joy and
sorrow are states of mind-large-
ly imaginary, Unhappy the man
without illusions. Nature is kind
IN not letting US know too much.

"The best of all possible ,worlds?-It's not
That way of talking is utter rot.
This world is hardly the least degree
The sort of a world that it ought to be
It's full of selfishness, greed and strife

Of needless cruelty, needless pain,

Bereft of courage and robbed of hope!
For when It's history we rehearse
We learn of old that the world was worse;
And we also know. if we are not blind.
It's getting better, more sane and kind;
So, using that as a starting place,
We plan for progress and hope for grace.
For the optimist is very far
From liking matters the way they are;
He sees conditions, he knows the facts,
But he thinks and figures and, talks and act
With the full belief that ''the world do mo
