wet. Or they get chilled by
changing too quickly to light
weight garments and other ways.
This chilling lowers the body's
resistance.
The germs which entered the
body before clothes were chang
ed, or during colder or drier
weather, now begin to multiply.
The result is severe cold.
Some health authorities claim
that colds in cities could be re-
duced at least by half if streets
and sidewalks were flushed with
water from hydrants to carry
germ-laden dust down the sew
ers. Instead, cities wait until
the dust is dry, then sweep it
partly into heaps for collectors,
but also into the air where it is
breathed into nose, throat and
lungs.
The same process applies to
the home. Germs are carried
in on the shoes. They collect
in rugs. Sweeping with a
broom stirs them into the air.
A Vacuum cleaner for sweeping
and wet cloth for busting are
powerful health protectors.

LONG COUNTY SCHOOLS

ATLANTA, May 21-Although

consolidation at Ludowici, most OF

signs of much need for construc-

port of survey made recently I'M
der the direction Of the state de-

The report recommended that
better buildings and equipment be
procured for a larger per cent of
the schools; that a longer term be
given if finances can be provided
and that a larger per cent of tke
teachers Of the county be urged to
attend summer school. Supervision,
especially among the rural schools.
should be given closer attention, it
was stated.
The state school census of 1923
showed a total number of 1871
children in the county between the
ages Of six and eighteen years;
1888 white and 5SS colored. Enroll
ment in the white schools was given
as 545 pupils. Twenty-nine illit-
crates over ten years of age were
reported; fourteen. white and fiji

How to Dodge Colds

When people catch cold at
this time of year, they usually
blame it on changing too sud
denly to lightweight clothes,
especially underwear.
A medical authority tells us
that, while it is risky to make an
abrupt change in the warmth of
garments. the usual cause of
spring epidemics of colds is
this.
During the winter germs have
accumulated on sidewalks and
streets which are used as munich
pal cuspidors. AS warm wealth
er comes, the dust in the streets
dries and begins floating around
in the air. This dust carries the
winter crop of germs with it.
The germs lodge on mucous
membranes of nose and throat.
An epidemic of colds follows.
One would not be immune
even if he wore germ-filter
over his mouth and nostrils. It
has been scientifically proved
that germs can enter the body
through the eyes.
The popular notion is that a
period of wet weather starts an
epidemic of colds. AS a mat
ter of fact, more colds are
caught" during dusty warm
spells.
The germs are held in check
by the resisting powers of the
body. In damp or rainy
weather, people get their feet

CALCIUM ARsENATE POISON FOR THE BOIL WEEV IS WHO

around the country for the pur-
pose of observing conditions, POI
litical and financial and COM
mercial, and from Fort Worth he
wires the following which is by
way of an interview with one of
the leaders of the Texas Demo-
cracy, who made this statement
to Mr.. Human:
Il was for McAdoo, now | am
for Underwood, | have two rea-
sons.
First, ! do not believe that
the Democrats next November
can get the full political advant-
age of this oil scandal unless
they make it Republican scam
dial and they cannot make Re-
publican scandal if they run a
candidate like Mr.. McAdoo, who
is so badly sprayed with oil.
"Second, though I am sure Mr..
McAdoo was not guilty of any
dishonesty, / do believe that he
got his $4,000 in fees for his
political influence rather than
for his legal advice. T believe
this, and l think the more his
conduct is explained the clearer
this fact will appear. Therefore,
/ think he should be eliminated
as a candidate"
Which merely emphasizes what
any political observer must ac-
knowledge namely, that it will be
impossible to keep the oil scan
dial out of the Presidential cam
paign. Now President Coolidge
has not leased any oil land nor
accepted any oil retainers nor
done anything else that can cause
the slightest reflection to attach
to him. But it may just as well
be frankly admitted that the adj
ministration of which he was a
part will be under fire in the ma
tional campaign. 1t viii be un-
fair, it will be dirty politics, it
will be a lot of things that it
ought not to be, but the cold
blooded question that the dele
gates at Cleveland must deter
mine is whether in the face of
that sort of campaign, it is not
the wise and the polite thing to
do to insure Republican success
and the supremacy of Republican
policies by naming a candidate
against whom that kind of a
campaign cannot be made.
We may as well prepare to
meet the Democratic challenge
that they will try to make the
oil scandal Republican scan
dial by themselves nominating a
candidate who is free from any
indirect connection with it. The
way to meet it is by using the
same recipe.
The oil scandal will be the big
issue in the campaign-that is i
will be, provided the Democrat,
name a man as its candidate who
CAN MAKE. oil the. ISSUE.
Mr.. Meade cannot. The Re.
publicans would shoot him as
full Of holes as a moth-eaten
blanket. His legal connections
as attorney for the oil interests
will not set we'll with the av.
erage man. Not that Mr.. Nc.

Malarial Survey in
Dooly County

Dooly county, our neighbor
across the Flint, has completed
a maIarial survey of part of the
county, conducted by DR.. NJ. A.
Fort, of the State Board of
Health.
In his report DR.. Fort, speak
ing of the examinations he has
made of the school children,
says
These. 624 examination are
sample, If smaller and larger
children and adults white and col
ored are similarly affected, there
are 2257 chronic cases of ma
laria in the county IT present.
Each of these may have a return
of the fever when late summer
comes or before. Each of these
may infect mosquitoes which bite
them, and these mosquitoes in
feet other people, and thus the
disease continues to spread.
And the spread" is not con-
fined to Dooly. 1t affects her
neighboring counties. No man
liveth unto himself. 1t is graft
flying to know that Surnter's
neighbors are awakening to the
malarial menace, to know that
they are realizing that malaria
cansbe controlled and eventually
eliminated.
Miss Emily Woodward, edi-
tress of the Vienna News, one
of the finest weekly papers in
South Georgia, makes this com
n4ent on the report of DR.. Fort:
The report of rr. Fort pub
lished elsewhere in this issue
should set the people of Dooly
to thinking and also to acting
with view to Kidding the coun-
ty of malaria. This is a pre-
ventable disease, one that re-
quires only Intelligent and deter
mined action to combat. For
economical reasons, if for no 9th
err, malaria should be eradicated.
1t costs the people of this coun-
ty far more to allow malaria TO
exist than it would to stamp it
out. The cost of medicine and
medical services together with
the, loss of tine from work to
say nothing of the distress and
suffering incident to malarial
infection, when reduced to dol
lars and cents would total far
more than an efficient anti-ma-
larial campaign would cost.
When Miss Woodward
throws the prestige of her paper
and herself into campaign to
control and eliminate the mos
quito. Dooly will follow. Tell
the people the truth. Expose
the. condisions accurately and
consistently and continuously.
Education is the first step.
Sumter is vitality interested. She
has taken the lead in Southwest
Georgia in this fight. She will
be the first of these counties to
control and eliminate the little
pest. Her health officer, DR..
j. w. Payne, his assistants and
the County Board of Health are
ON THE JOB and doing good
work, backed to man by the
Board of County Commission
ers.
We hope soon to see the same
condition prevailing in Dooly.
