HEALTH. A STATE ASSET


 Not only are our material resources of value in presenting Alabama to na- Sional attention, but, according to the Gadsden Journal: "While telling the world of our cotton and corn, of our coal and iron, of our schools and churches, and of our splendid citizen ship, why not say something good about Alabama's health record? This informa- tion will open the eyes of some of those In the North and West who still cling to ;he idea that this is a state of swamps md malaria"
 The suggestion is practical. During }he last few years Alabama has made eommendable progress in health work. The encouragement and aid of the fed sral government have borne fruitful re- suits. While much remains to be done, .he progress has been very valuable asset to the state, and could be further capitalized through successful efforts to let outsiders know about it.
 Tn many parts of Alabama malaria has been nearly eliminated, while ty- phoid, scarlet fever and other communi- cable diseases have been brought under control with records of improvement that demonstrate the effectiveness of the health measures pursued. In many parts of the state active anti-malaria cam paigns are now under way. Not only have direct benefits been extensive, but
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-18
PERCEIvING VALUE OF HEALTH


 The DeKalb County Herald sounds a note of warning, which might well be ob- served by many towns and communities in this state: "One of the most vital problems that confronts Fort Payne is that of health. The deadly house-fly is with us again and the citizens of the town must be protected against the dis ease carried by these pests. Effective measures, such as screening and others, can be carried out at little cost, yet may save the town from an epidemic of fever. Some sections of the town are not in sanitary condition, and are really me- nacing the health of the city. Property owners and renters should take every precaution to protect the health of the citizenship"
 The trouble with some communities is that they do not appreciate the value of he public health until after serious damage has been done by an epidemic of preventable disease. One such epi- demic in any town would cost many times the amount necessary to prevent it, not to speak of the indirect losses in decrease of working efficiency, indi- vidual inconvenience, expense, anxiety, Reorganization of family life, danger and often death. It would be one of the best things that could happen to every city, town and community for their peo- pie to realize the incalculable value of the public health, and for each of them to take steps to prevent a few people careless in the observance of health measures, from threatening the welfare of the entire community.
 This is the season when typhoid, ma laria and other communicable diseases can be readily prevented by ordinary precautions and cooperation. The pub lie authorities have a responsibility and an obligation to their respective com munities which the people should firmly resolve to make them observe. Nor should any one person or group of per sons be permitted to jeopardize the well fare of a community because of any pre- conceived ideas on health measures or failure to realize the importance of ob- serving the ordinary laws of health.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-18

True, the latter period makes a more favorable showing than the former in this respect It should be remembered, however, that large percentage of the negro deaths in the North during the former period resulted from serious influenza epidemic and the World War. There would probably be less difference reflected in normal figures covering the earlier period.
 Considerable economic importance is involved in the situation because of the large negro exodus from the South dur ing the last few years, and especially because of the serious problems in con- nection with the situation in many of the Northern industrial centers. The ten dency towards a return of negroes to the South has been notable of late. With the larger surplus of labor in the North than in the South because of more busi- ness depression in the former section, it is believed that the movement of ne- groes towards the South will be larger than for several years, and that the labor situation on the farms of the South will take on more reassuring aspect.
