Il RATTTESNAKE
ADVENTURE EVER RECORDED

controllable to say them from harm
them in doing exactly the right thing
at such fearful moments.
Ten or twelve years ago at Je-
rome, Ariz, there was a cas- in one
respect quite similar-that of the
intuitive action under the terrific
pressure of the moment bringing
about a similar result. c. A. Helm,
a Jerome attorney, lived down on
the Hogback, as it was called. a sub
urb below the town, on a sharp ridge,
Jerome being built on a mountain
side above. The Helms had a baby
boy that had been raised on it's moth
er's breast and who was inclined to
be manageable One day Mrs.
Helm missed the child and went out
to look for him and after some search
found him under the house playing
in the dirt. Within three feet of
him was a huge rattler, coiled ready
TO strike and showing all kinds of
fight. The frantic woman told the
child to come to her, hut he merely
sat there in defiance, as was his habit
when told to do things which at his
age he fully understood. Instead of
fainting on the spot and losing the
life of her little one in an agonizing
death something gave the woman
presence of mind to do exactly the
right thing She barred her breast
as a means of attracting the child
and he came to her on all tours in a
run and his little life was saved.

LEARNING BY DOING

One of the big differences between
country and city children is that the
former learns by doing things that
call on them for intelligent thinking
The country child IL set to work
around his farm or village place,
and there are always things that he
can do, and to accomplish which he
must use his own inventlveness.
This makes him resourcefu and
when he grows up he can think out
his problems and solve them.
More than half OF the city child
rem get their education solely from
books. That makes them lacking
in inventiyeness. They have-no
initiative. Some city boys OF course
have to work, but their jobs do not
usually develop this resourcefulness
and ingenuity. They do not get
the country boys power OF thinking
things out for himself.

Why DOES GEORGIA Need
Z A LARGER SANATORIyM?
LACK OF ROOM CAUSE OF DELAY
IN <ApmIfTINe or
PATIENTS
state OF Georgia Loses 100000 AZ
Result OF Death From
Tuberculosis ~

Because the present Sanatorium mss
only 100 beds.
There is at present a waiting list OF
60 patients begging that they be admit
ted to treatment. There are seldom
less than SO on this list.
During tile past IS months We have
averaged admission Of 10 patients per
month. II we continue to be able 10
do this, II will take over months TO
reach and admit to treatment the 6Otn
patient These months Of suffering to
the patient and heartaches for the fam
ily. not to mention the time lost IN
curing the patient, and the advance OF
the disease, many cases lose all chances
of cure in three months. The average
time between receipt of application and
admission of the patient during the past
year was s weeks.
Approximately 5000 patients die oil
tuberculosis In Georgia annually. For
every death, it is estimated that there
are 10 other persons i'll with Tubercu'
losls.
Sociologists value human life at $3,-
900. If this figure is correct, Georgia
has loss Of $4,000, 900 year by reason
Of deaths by tuberculosis alone! me
loss from sickness from tuberculosis
amounts to such figure as to almost
etagger comprehension.
Georgia is furnishing not single bed
for the care of Tubercular Negroes, and
yet 45%o of our population are Me-
groes, and tuberculosis is two or three
times more frequent among the Ne
groes, who are brought in close contact
with the White race as cooks, and SER
wants, and what is more serious, as
nurse girls for our children, and thus
spreading the disease to the White race.
The larger Sanatorium would make II
possible to take care of 100 Negroes and
300 White. 100000 would build a
modern Sanatorium to accomplish this.
The number of patients rejected In
1921 was Sc, some because they were
too far advanced to be benefited by
the Sanatorium as equipped at pres
ent; some were discouraged by the
length of the wait and went elsewhere
for treatment; some died while wait
ing to be admitted. A larger, more
modern Sanatorium would reduce tho
number of rejected patients and deaths
There are no accommodations for
the care of children, they cannot be
properly treated under the present
conditions. The new SanatOrium would
be built with this problem in mind, for
1t is in children that the disease IL
found in its earliest stages, and most
can be done for tuberculosis, both as
disease and as problem in Public
Health and Public Welfare.

THE SOCIAL DISEASES
DE STR Owe r S OF
PUB Lie n EA r n

DisraeIi, one of the greatest Of Eng
lands prime ministers, once said: pub
lie Health is the foundation upon which
rests the happiness of the people and
the welfare Of the State"
Nations rise and fall, dependent to
very large extent on the public health
Of the State. The great Roman EN-
pire withstood all combined forces ar
rayed against it until undermined by
the gay, riotous and immoral living OF
its, own citizens.
Two of the greatest and most pow
erful enemies of any nation are the
social diseases of syphilis and gonor-
rhoea. These diseases strike, not with
the initial force as some other dis
eases, such as typhoid and pneumonia,
but none the less sure as to the ulti-
mate result on the health and life of
the individual.
They recognize no social status. In
the language of Horace, "They visit with
equal tread the palace of the rich and
the hut of the poor" They not only
affect the individual whom they at
tack, but bring untold suffering and
unhappiness to his or her offspring.
Gonorrhoea is responsible for large
percentage of blindness at birth. Syph-
Ills is largely responsible for the de-
formity of children. Truly the sins Of
the father or mother are visited upon
generations yet unborn.
At the entrance of the United States
into the world war, we realized for the
first time the menace to our national
life due to the prevalence Of the So
cial diseases in the manhood called to
arms. Our government at once saw the
necessity of stamping out these dis
eases, realizing that public health is
fundamental to all success. The pub
lie health was in grave danger and,
without it as an asset, we could not
efficiently meet the severe physical and
mental requirements of the times.
In this wise the national Govern
nlent is cooperating with the State
Boards of Health, which makes it pos
sible for It's citizens to obtain labora-
tory examination for these diseases free
OF charge to the individual. For fur
Their advice, consult with your family
physician, or write to the Georgia State
Board of Health, Atlanta, Georgia.

THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF

The Republican party claimed to
have done q great stroke for the
farmers when it passed tariff act
supposed to protect them against
imported foodstuffs. But many far
mers who look beneath the surface
can see that the net result must be
to cut down the demands for their
products for export.
When the farmers Of Canada and
South America found their market
in the United States largely cut off,
it became necessary for them TO
market their surplus III Europe.
That has tended to cut down the
export demand for our products.
Hence the home market has been
glutted with our own food stuffs,
and the farmers have had to keep
selling st prices that are ruinous for
them in many cases.
A little improvement has occurred
in farm prices in the past twoyears.
It has come because at the pinch OF
the deflation movement, the farmers
had to sacrifice on their crops in
order to pay off their loans. When
this pinch passed, their products
rebounded to a moderate extent,
from natural causes, not from the
tariff.
The farmers thought they were
getting a positive benefit as the re-
suit of the tariff increase. But
many of them have now learned that
in retrun for the mythical advantage
they secured. they were put up
against very concrete and tangible
loss. They are finding that the
manufactured goods that they must
buy remain at very high level
and have recently begun going high
err. with the prospects OF further ad-
vances yet to come.
These high prices are sustained by
a tariff that almost prohibits compe-
tition on many lines of goods,
Meanwhile they have to sell their
stuff in Europe at prices fixed by the
competition of other countries. They
would do far better to let most OF
their tariff protection 60, and join
the movement for a reduction in
manufactured goods duties that
would bring the things they have to
buy down to a reasonable figure.

MORAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS

DIR. Charles w. Eloit, president
emeritus Of Harvard university, re
Gently published in Current History
an article ia which lac deplored the
lack OF adequate moral training IN
the public schools Many observers
of modern life feel that II great lack
exists at this point.
Opinions differ as to whether there
has been decline in moral stand
ards during recent years, But the
great prevalence OF crime, the easy
way in which a great multitude Of
people violate their marriage vows,
the existence of widespread dishon-
esty, indicate that young peotic
need better moral training.
II does not accomplish much TO
fill school pupils heads with all
kinds of information and literary
culture, if they go out in the world
with the conviction that crooked
conduct is all right if you can get
away with it," The world may not
be growing any worse, hut 1t has
always been in need OF reformation
from the days of Adam.
Yet if you attempt to introduce
any new line Of training in the pub
lie schools, teachers and superintend-
ents throw up their hands in des-
pair. They say that their courses
are already so filled with subjects
that the pupils are doing superficial
work.
Yet moral principle is the most
basic element in citizenship. II
would be better to throw out some
study altogether, or cut down the
time required by others, if necessary
to INTRODUCED some substantial train
ing in the matter of moral obllga-
ton.
No school is doing its full duty
to-day unless it gives its pupils an
idea of the obligations that rest upon
every American citizen. An obser-
vance of the ordinary principles OF
morality is tae first Of these obllga'
tons, If pupils do not leave school
with the idea that honesty, TRUTH
Justice, loyalty, and sympathy are
qualities that they admire and de-
sire to initiate, their education IS
fundamentally defective.

AND MERCHANDISING

Aaron Sapiro, the noted Callior-
MIA expert on farm marketing made
an address recently as reported IN
the ST. Paul Farmer, which should
stir ND every farmer of Georgia to
see how the marketing methods in
his locality can be improved.
Mr.. sapiro brought out the idea
that while farming is an individual
and independent process, each man
working on his own acres, yet when
it comes to marketing, it becomes a
grolp problem. The individual
farmer can't usually do it success
fully because he does not know the
vast country wide and world wide
conditions that affect the process.
Individual selling Of crops means
as a rule that they will be dumped
on the market when the prices are
lowest. Farmers hear that prices at
harvest time are low, and they start
in to get their crop ON the market
at the earliest moment. That pro
duces a vast over supply fer the
time being, and the market is bro
ken to point where the farmer
can get what it cost him to produce
the stuff.
The business man in other lines
do not do that way. When a mer
chant gets his fall and winter stock
IN, he does not thy to sell it in a few
weeks If he did he would have to
sell at big sacrifice the way the
farmers have had to, lnstead he
makes plans to work it off gradually
as the public demands it. In that
way he is sable to sell at a profit and
stay in business.
The farmers mus! market in that
gradual way in order to attain the
success that men get in other lines
of business. That means that in
the majority Of cases they should
get together and prepare to handle
their united crops with regard to the
needs of the market. BY such
united effort they can find out
where the crop will sell the best and
when it will sell best, and they can
send it where it is needed, and thus
make the least sacrifice in order to
dispose of it.

BIRDS BECAME A NUISANCE
Passenger Pigeons Nested In Such
Numbers That They Completely
Destroyed the Trees.

The passenger pigeon presents one
of the marvels of bird life. A CEN
fury ago this bird, now extinct, ex-
listed In flocks of such gigantic proper
tions that the numbers appear almost
Incredible. The general roosting places
of these vast hordes were usually To-
Gated In the tallest and densest for
ests. As they were birds of very pow
erful flight, they apparently often
ranged several miles during the day,
but at evening returned In a body
to the roost The tall trees for thou
sands of acres were completely killed,
and the ground strewn with massive
branches torn down by the clustering
weight of the birds which had rested
upon them.
Their nesting places were even
more wonderful. In Michigan the
largest nesting place In recent years
occurred In 1875 or 1877, and was 2S
miles long and some three or four
miles In width. The last nesting place
of any Importance was also in Michi-
gan In 1881, but only of moderate size,
perhaps eight miles long. In the nest
Ing places every tree of suitable size
was loaded down with nests, 9 large
hemlock, for instance, holding from
20 to 40. At the large Michigan nest
ing it was estimated that 500 netters
were at work, and that their average
catch was 10000 birds apiece.
