Travelling Doctors and
Dentists

Young doctors, dentists and
lawyers used to hang out their
single and wait half-starved for
several years until business came
to them. 1t was rare profess
sional man who could earn a
fairly good living within FIVE
years after graduation.
This waiting problem is being
solved today in unique way.
A young physician, for instance,
opens an office in a city. Then
he hops a train, scouts around
and finds a couple of small
towns that have no doctor.
He arranges for an office in
these communities and posts an
nouncements that he will be on
the job a certain day every
week.
The usual procedure is to
practice medicine four days a
week in the city with few pa
tients if any, and devote the
other two work-days to his small
town practice.
The solution of one problem
often is found in solving another
problem. The travelling doctor,
accordingly, solves his livelihood
problem by solving the problem
of the small community without
a medical practitioner.
There's a shortage of coun-
try doctors, for the very simple
reason that in many districts
there's only enough work to
keep a physician busy one day
a week.
The travelling doctor is on
hand for that day only.
Travelling dentists also are be-
coming common. There even
an occasional travelling lawyer,
arriving in town for day a
week to get some people out OF
trouble and others into it.
It's a bang-up good system,
for these travelling professional
men are usually young, fresh and
from university and right up to
the minute with the latest in
their line.
All of which demonstrates
that it isn't necessary to wait for
opportunity to knock at the
door. You can go out and but
tonhole opportunity and escort
her to the door.
Opportunity is occasionally
found.

Democracy candidate. La

candidates now in the field for

each represents
Calvin Coolidge, Republican.

will occupy the executive chair
in the White House after March
3, 1925; provided, of course,
one of them receives a majority
Of the 53l votes in the Electoral
College. IF no one of these re-
ceive zoo votes in the college
the election viii be thrown into
the House of Representatives,
which will vote for one Of the
three candidates receiving the

Give Baby a Chance

The older generation is a bit
bewildered as it watches some of
the new-fangled scientific ways
of rearing babies. We quote a
white-haired grandma.
Land sakes! If these modern
baby doctors are right, it's a
wonder to me that all the infants
didn't die in the cradle back
yonder when I was young.
Everything has to be steriliz-
ed--spoons, can openers, nipples
for nursing bottles, rattles, cook
ing utensils. We never thought
of boiling things baby used long
ago.
my children drank water right
out of the spring. Now it has to
be boiled. Cows milk isn't good
enough-has to be pasteurized.
Baby is isolated. Room of
his own. No one allowed near
him except mother. We used to
cuddle them right into bed with
us. And everyone who came to the
house kissed and fondled them"
The answer to this is that
much higher percentage of ba-
bies died in the old days than
now. You frequently read
about some scientist Boosting
that the average duration of hui
man life is longer by years than
it used to be. This doesn't
mean that fewer children die in
babyhood and early youth. This
brings the average up.
For this. thank science and
its 'new-faangled ways" espe-
cially sterilization.
Another thing: Babies have to
have greater care now because
there are more things to be care
full about than there used to be.
More reasons; that is, for being
careful. More germs-particu-
larly common colds, so danger
Gus to. infants.
Our generation is living UNI
natural lives, compared with
grandmas generation. Physical
ly we are weaker, and this
shows in the inheritance. The
health environment into which a
modern baby is born is decided
ly inferior to that back yonder.
Water. food and even the air
are more polluted. Each year,
fewer mothers can nurse their
young. That's a result of liv-
ing unnatural lives.
Young mother, obey the doc
tors instructions unless you
want to endanger your child's
life. Don't let the old-timers
stir you from your determination
to give baby the best protection
available by modern science.
The health of womanhood and
manhood is largely determined
in the cradle by you.

Grow or Decay

From childhood's happy
hours to the present we've been
told that nothing really stands
still that we must progress or
we shall slip backward.
The trees. flowers and weeds
grow to maturity, their fruit or
flowers burst forth-and then
decay sets in.
This same principle is seen in
human beings, with the excep-
lion that while the body may
reach its full physical power and
then begin the backward slide,
the mental and spiritual may go
forward, even to the grave.
This thought was aptly ex-
pressed by Whitelaw Reid, when
he said:
1t was merely of the physical,
not of the spiritual, or the in
tellectual man that the declara-
ton was made, you cannot by taxi
ing thought add one cubit to your
stature. When a tree ceases to
grow, your science teaches you
that it should be harvested.
When the sun ceases to rise its
rays fall mournfully eastward,
and the day is surely drawing to
its close. When you cease to
grow, you have already begun to
decay. Grow then while you
may. The land never needed
you as it does today; the time
will never come in which it will
not need you more and more.
There was never a more APP
propriate time for service. AS
Mr.. Reid says, the land never
needed you as it does today"
Your community needs you;
your fellow-man needs you.

Fay set I'M.

Of course it is easy for us to cry
out against intolerance when we

practice tolerance and justice
and fair-play here in Georgia
where we constitute the most
numerous group. Is religious
liberty a matter of real principle
with us Baptists or is it merely
a matter of which foot the shoes
on? I repeat with all emphasis,
that the place where the Baptist
Interpretation of Christianity is
