EASTERN LEAGUERS
 MAY CUT PAYROLL
Players in This Circuit Likely to
 Get Less Money

New Haven, Jan, s,-A ten per
 cent cut in the salaries Of veterans and star players on Eastern league
 clubs will be made lay combined action Of the magnates when 1928 contracts are mailed out in March, according 10 well founded reports sizzling about the o'Aeil circuit, Dropping gate receipts Of 1899 when high salariei stars failed to draw tho patronage expected is the reason for the economy move. Some of the clubs, it is said. will slice over even more than in per cent
 While the matter has not heen formally discussed by the club own. CTS the general trend Of the moguls is for lower salary lists in the com ing campaign. II Ia whispered abont that when the magnates assemble here for the Judge Landis dinner late this month a special session will be programmed to thresh the matter out.
 The sentiment among tho club owners for fl reduction Of salaries for the coming season occasions no sur prise owing to tho lapse in attendance figures last season over 1921. The high priced stars naturally are bound to suffer the most in the slashing. Some players were expected to be drawing all the way from s4o0 to $500 monthly last season, while the average salary ranges from $500 to $500. A common ordinary" rookie as ruel generally is proffered a contract calling for sa00 monthly when he en- ters the league, with the veterans drawing higher stipends.
 There's nothing attractive to the s20O stipends except that 1t gives young and ambitious player a chance to make good. Less than $50 per week for playing ball seven days a week are pretty low figures as 1t appears that it will be up to the vet erans and stars to bear the brunt of the "cut" if there is one.
 With reports from several cities that tle salary limit rule to have been fagrantly violated by several clubs it is hard to see the value of any rule on the regulation of salaries | If one rule is violated another will | suffer the same fate. It appears the | best way out of the salary muddle Is to abolish all rules.
 President Clark P. Lane, Jr., president of the Bridgeport baseball club said yesterday on the report salary cut for players h the Eastern league:
 Naturally. the clubs will pay the players no more than they have to. So far as I know there will be no campaign to reduce salaries md that they will run about the same as last season, the club salary init GIG players, exclusive of man. ager), remaining at $4,50o per month";
 When asked about reported infrac- ion of the rule concerning the salary init last season MT. Lane admitted hat the matter had been taken up 'fficially by the league, but the clubs lamed when confronted by the harges responded by furnishing worn affldvits that they had adhered 0 the salary limit prescribed in the eague rules.
 However, affidvits are not serious y considered under all circumstances hese days.

Syphilis, the greatest killing disease

CLINIC-INSTITUTE
FOR PHYSICIANS

Emory University Medical Depart
ment is doing one of the finest pieces
of work ever put on for the betterment
of medicine and surgery in our state.
This is the third year of what is called
an Institute Clinic Week." The Col
lege in conjunction with the State
Board of Health has arranged week
of intensive postgraduate work for the
physicians of Georgia and the South
east. Lectures are given, about four
each day, and clinics at all the hos
pitfalls have been arranged, beginning
at s a. m. and running throughout the
day by the leading surgeons and medi-
cal men of Atlanta. Bedside study of
cases and post mortems are made.
The 4th of June will be the opening
day which will be held at Emory Uni
versity; inspection of the completed
Wesley Memorial Hospital, with lunch
con served at noon. The 5th, 9Th and
7th there will be lectures and clinics
the whole day through. Thursday
night Fulton County Medical Society
will keep open house, and Friday night
the Alumni of Emory University will
hold its annual session, dinner being
served at the Capital City Club. DR..
Joe P Bowdoin is president of the
Alumni Association and DR.. J. w. Rob-
erts, of Atlanta, is its secretary.
Reduced railroad rates have been
granted for the occasion on the certifi-
cate plan. All who attend should get
a certificate from the agent who sells
them the ticket, paying full fare, and
the reduction will be granted on the
return. This is great opportunity for
the doctors of our State and indirectly
to our people as a whole.

SOME FACTS
ABOUT THE ELLIS
HEALTH LAW
AND THE NEED OF COUNTY
HEALTH WORK.

1. The adoption of the Ellis Health
Law in our county means the employ
ment of a specially trained medical
health officer who devotes his entire
time to the business of looking after
health and sanitation. The law also pro-
vides for the employment Of public
health nurses and sanitary inspectors as
assistants to the health officer, where
desired. The nurses assist with the
school medical inspection, help to ar
range for the correction of defects, and,
with the health officer, reach mothers
and infants, especially among the
poorer classes, through the medium OF
child health centers, mothers classes
and home visits
2. About $4,000 school children re-
ceive medical inspection each year
through the operation of this law. About
5000 with handicapping defects receive
corrective treatment.
g. The commissioners of health, op
Grating under the Ellis Health Law,
gave free of charge n, 900 doses of anti
typhoid vaccine in 1922
T. In 1921 and 1922, $500 sanitary
privies were installed by the commits.
sioners of health. Dysentery. hook
worm and summer diarrhoea of infants
will not be controlled by any other
method in the rural districts.
5. There is annually in Georgia a
great sacrifice of human life on the
altar OF indifference. During 1922, 715
deaths were caused by typhoid fever,
All by diphtheria and 5S4 by malaria.
In 1921, 1890 infants under two years
of age died of dysentery and diarrhoea
During their hours of heroic effort 10
establish new life in this world more
than 500 would-be mothers made the
supreme sacrifice.
s. These and many other lives might
have been saved if well organized
health departments, we'll manned by a
well equipped personnel, had been es
tablished in each county of the state
Z. COST, This ii dollars and cents
is about one-tenth of The actual amount
it saves the people.
s. If our county will adopt the Ellis
Health Law and put it into operation
promptly, it is possible for the State
Board of Health to give financial as
sistance toward the maintenance of 3
public health nurse, over a period OF
two years. Visit the State Board OF
Health, 131 Capitol Square, and talk it
over, or write
