NEWS ITEM.
To Whom 1t May Concern:

are you planning summer Vaca'
ton? If SO, will you go fishing, pic
nicing or visiting out Of town?
When depressed by the long, hot
summer days, Is 1t not very probable
that you will stop in for refreshment
at soda founts where glasses and
spoons are merely rinsed in water and
not properly sterilized between drinks
Are you planning to travel on bust
ness or for pleasure some time this
summer, when you will eat and drink
in many different places without
knowledge as to the hygienic condi-
lions under which they are operated?
Is the community in which you live
infected with flies and other insect
pests during the summer months?
Those who answer Eyes" to one or
more of these questions are urged by
the State Board of Health to protect
themselves against a disease which is
very closely associated with these &C
tivities-namely, typhoid fever. There
is only one safe and reliable insurance
against this great calamity which is
apt to befall anyone, regardless OF
his living conditions, and that is TY-
PHOID VACCINE. Typhoid fever is
a food and water-borne disease. Con
slant diligence in choosing clean food
and water from reliable sources will
reduce the danger to some extent, but
in travelling about from place to place
it is impossible to avoid more or less
risk. A study of typhoid histories by
health experts demonstrates the fact
that the majority Of cases are contract.
ed by vacationists, transients and
week-enders.
The need for vaccination Is all the
more urgent for those who live in
small towns and in the country dis
tricts where the water supply is de.
rived from wells, springs and small
filtration plants where proper precau-
tons to prevent pollution cannot be
applied. Flies also are great spread.
ers Of typhoid and other food and
water-borne diseases, and those who
are compelled to eat fly-specked food
should protect themselves by vaccina-
tion..
IT'S people in Georgia died of typhoid
fever in 1922, and more than SEVEN
THOUSAND lost from three to twelve
weeks time indulging in most ex-
pensive pastime of battling against a
disease which, though finally conquer
ed left the visitors exhausted for many
months, both physically and financial
~.
In 1923 we may expect a repetition
Of the typhoid record Of 1922 with, we
hope, some diminution, but those who
have been vaccinated within the past
two or three years, or take the vaccine
NOW, will not be numbered among
the victims.
Typhoid vaccination is harmless and
simple. Remember, typhoid fever be-
gins to appear in May-therefore, the
people Of Georgia are urged by the
State Board of Health to insure them.
selves at once against this disease
After the fever sets in 1t Is too late.
Typhoid vaccine is manufactured
and distributed free of charge by the
State Board of Health. 1t must be
administered by a physician, but those
who cannot afford this may apply tc
their health officer. Both physicians
and health officers are urged to begin
their campaigns at once and order
vaccine accordingly.

SEES RUHR A PERIL

BY the Associated Press.
wILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August
2l-A proposal that the nations
whose interests are endangered by
French occupation of the Ruhr
should close their markets to France
and threaten her with bankruptcy
was made at the Institute of Politics,
at Williams College last night. by
Count Harry kessler of Berlin. This
action, he proposed, should be taken
if France refused TO accept the con-
Clusions of a conference called TO
handle the results of an investigation
OF Germany's capacity to pay repara-
tions, made by an expert commits
sion.
Count Kessler predicted serious
conditions for the American farmer
if the European situation was not
remedied. He said that Germany
needed security from France because
France ten or fifteen years hence
may, and probably will. have well
equipped and drilled black army of
million men with which to invade

TWO-MINUTE TALKS ON
SAFETY.
NO. y.
WHEN DRIVING-DRIVE.

An autoist in New York was
recently arrested for trying. un-
successfully, to do two things
at one time-drive an automo-
bile with one arm and hug a
pretty girl with the other. 1t
can't be done in safety, but it
takes a smash-up and a heavy
fine to teach this lesson to some
people.
The increase in the number of
automobiles and pedestrians on
our streets. without corre-
spending increase in the width
of the streets, makes 1t impera-
tive that driver keep hisc en-
tire attention centered on how
and where he is driving. He
should never become so en-
crossed in q conversation that
he is not alert to his surround
ings.
When driving a motor vehicle
keep both hands on the steer
ing wheel; in an emergency II
may take a few seconds for you
to find your right hand and re-
turn 1t TO its place of duty.
These few seconds delay may
be the cause of serious or ia
tai accident. because you were
not prepared.
Always keep your eyes
straight ahead when driving
forward, and look back when in
reverse. Be on the constant
lookout for traffic coming from
side streets which may block
your path. When making a
turn keep your eyes on the
course your car will follow.
1t is dangerous practice for
the driver. of an automobile to
hold a child on his or her lap
while driving or to let a child
rest its hands on the steering
wheel. If an emergency should
suddenly arise-and II may at
any time-the driver will be
seriously hampered and may
cause an accident which could
have otherwise been avoided.
or in making a quick turn of
the wheel he may seriously
cripple the child. 1t seems AL
most needless to caution against
holding an adult on the drivers
lap. but several serious acci-
dents have occurred because
some youthful driver has at
tempted TO drive while holding
his sweetheart between him
and the steering wheel Over
crowding of the front seat is
also productive Of accidents and
should be prohibited by law.
An automobile driver cannot
safely do two things at one
time; when you are driving
drive. If you find 1t absolutely
necessary to have a 'petting
party" for the sake Of her life
and yours. stop first

TWO SHOT IN RUM
FIGHT ON SCHOONER
Captain and Cook Battle
With PirateS-Both
Wounded.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. August 21.-
Capt. Arthur Moore of the Nova SEQ
tia schooner ]. Scott Hankenson was
in critical condition at a hospital
here today, 8 a result OF battle be-
tween the schooner's crew and rum
pirates off Rockport yesterday. Harry
Harm, the ships cook, also was at the
hospital, suffering from several
wounds.
What became of the pirates after
they attacked the vessel is not known.
This morning the schooner could not
be seen from shore, and II was un-
certain whether the remainder of the
crew had worked her into some other
position or had set sail for another
port.
Members of the crew told fishermen
who responded to distress signals late
Yesterday and took the wounded men
ashore, that two men had boarded the
schooner from motor boat and dis
charged their revolvers without warn
ing. Capt. Moore returned the fire and
wounded one Of the attackers. The
two men made no attempt to take off
any of the vessels cargo OF 1000 case s
of whisky. Apparently alarmed at the
resistance they had met, they jumped
back into their motor boat and headed
off shore.
