Why DOES GEORGIA NEED
u A LARGER SANATORIUM?
LACK OF ROOM CAUSE OF DELAY
IN ADMITTING OF
PATIENTS
state OF Georgia Loses 100000 AZ
Result OF Death From
Tuberculosis

Because the present Sanatorium mas
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 s5 on this list.
During tile past IS months we nave
averaged admission Of 10 patients per
month. II we continue to be abe 70
do this. it will take over 8 months 70
reach and admit to treatment the OVtn
patient. These months Of suffering 10
the uatient and heartaches for the lam
ilv. not to mention the time lost 10
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 weeks.
Approximately 5000 patients die Of
tuberculosis In Georgia annually. For
every death, 1t is estimated that there
are 10 other persons Ill with TuDercu-
losis.
Sociologists value human life at $S,-
600. If this figure is correct, Georgia
has loss Of SO, 900, 600 year by reason
Of deaths by tuberculosis alonel Inc
loss from sickness from tuberculosis
amounts to such figure as to almost
stagger comprehension.
Georgia is furnishing not a single bed
for the care of Tubercular Negroes, and
vet 45% of our population are Ne
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 i
possible to take care of 100 Negroes and
800 White. 100000 would build
modern Sanatorfum to accomplish TINS
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 the
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
it is in children that the disease Is
found in its earliest stages, and most
| can be done for tuberculosis, both as
a disease and as problem in Public
Health and Public Welfare.

reIephona In Bathroom.

For years hotels have been compet-
ing with one another to provide the
ultimate in a guests comfort. But 1t
is only recently that anyone had enough
Imagination to think Of anything so
sensible as telephone extension in the
bathroom. What is more annoying than
TO have to get out Of the bathtub all
dripping and stand by wall tele-
phoneP One hotel I saw recently has
two telephones in each room, one by
the bathtub and the other on stand
by the head Of the bed. Excellent
places for phones, but think how long
1t took for hotel men, even hotel men
with the best Of intentions, to quit
putting them on the wall where a
guest can't even sit down. For that
matter, it is not many years since
phones in private homes were placed
where one could talk and be comfort
able all at once.-Fred Kelly, in the

BRITISH ARE CASTING C0VETOUS EYES ON
 GAMBLING CURRENCY
To Tax Wagering Would Be to Indorse It, Only
 Barrier

LONDON. March 24.-The consist entity hard up British government. all ways seeking fresh ways and means to replenish it's coffers, is said to be sums of money known to be changing hands constantly in England through betting transactions.
 The chancellor of the exchequer a short time ago requested the quiet islands of Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man. to contribute much more generously to the expenses of the empire than has been their habit, and it is not believed these sources will refuse. But something like $500.- 000.000 a year is lost and won by British bettors, according to the esti- mates, and good round tax on this sum would produce a tidy revenue.
 All would be relatively easy for the treasury were it not for the discon- certng fact that to tax betting would legalize the practice. step which would create on uproar from all sorts and conditions of people throughout the country.
 There are nearly so.ooo bookmakers in England who handle this $500. .000,- 900 each year, not only for bets placed on horse races, but on football games and dog races. The betting fever per vades not alone the big clubs in Lon don. but practically every factory in England. It is even said that in some factories intimidation is resorted to in order to get girls to bet. and their refusal so to do sometimes makes their lives unbearable.
 It is argued that the licensing of bookmakers, the abolition of touts, and the adoption of the totalizer would greatly curtail gambling and abolish many of the present abuses, and that bill in the Commons along these lines would be well supported.

DIR. J. A. BRYAN MADE LIFE MEMBER OF ELkS
Rare Distinction Given Beloved Bir-
 mingham Pastor

When Birmingham lodge No 79, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, initiated pr. J. A. Bryan into the order they bestowed on him the rare distinction of making him a life member, an honor usually bestowed on members of the order for long or distinguished service. However, in conferring the honor on pr. Bryan the members of 79 felt that in his long service in the ministration of charity, brotherly love, fidelity and justice, the principles upon which the Order of Elks is founded, and for which the principal stations in the lodge room are named. that he had been for these many years an Elk in spirit and that the honor was well earned.
 To further emphasize this fact, the lodge, by voluntary subscription. do mated to Dr. Bryan a solid gold mem- bership card, said to be the most handsome of it's kind ever made. The lettering is in purple and white. the colors of the order, while the various emblems and flag are enameled in appropriate colors. It is beautiful example of the goldsmith's art and unique in many respects.
