CITY TAXES MUST
Be PAID IF YOU
EXPECT TO VOTE
County Registrars Correct impress
sion of Many Voters in DUAL
flying to Vote

To the Voters of Cobb County:
We understand that there is an i'm
preston among some of the voters
that only State and county tax delin-
quents will be stricken from the reg
istration lists for the primary for
county officers to be held on March
the 5th next. This is an error. The
law requires the registrars to purge
the lists of ALL tax delinquents, in
Guiding defaulters for City Taxes,
professional taxes, and all other
taxes.
If you wish to vote in the coming
primary, and live in an incorpora-
ted town in the county and have not
paid your city taxes, you are urged
to do so at once, as the time is short.
Next Saturday, Feb. 16, is the last
day for registration.

DR.. Welsh Addresses
Parent eachers On
Diseases of Children

The Parent-Teacher's meeting on
Tuesday afternoon was one of spe-
cial interest. DR.. L. L. Welsh, of
the Cobb County Board of Health,
addressed the members on the sub
ject, Contagious Diseases Among
Children"
1t is matter of regret that a com
plete report of his talk cannot be Civ
en-. 1t stirred us all with a desire
to work more faithfully for the
health of our children and our town.
The following are some of the i'm
portant points he made:
1. Ordinary colds may be due to
Improper food. Too much clothing.
Bad teeth or tonsils. General con-
dition of lowered vitality.
2. The causes of underweieht or
of any other abnormal condition
should be determined in order to dis
cover the most effective cure for it.
3. Bad teeth and bad tonsils are
the soil where almost any disease
germs may flourish
A. Kidney trouble and hook worm
are common among children. Ger
tain symptoms may indicate them,
but only physicians diagnosis can
determine either positively.
5. Many children suffer greatly
with headache. 1t may be due to a
great variety of causes-eye strain,
bad teeth or tonsils, constipation, i'm
proper food, bad eating habits, etc.
6. Sulphur candles may help some
what in cleaning up after smallpox
or other contagious diseases, but the
surest way is to use plenty of boil
ing water and soap.
DR.. Welsh gave an opportunity for
questions at the close of his address
and the informal discussion that they
led to was fitting close to one of
the best meetings of the year.
