Attitude for Success

He that would relish success to a
good purpose should keep his passions
cool and his expectations low; and
then 1t is possible that his fortune

is almost always doubled by being un-
looked for.-Ohio State Journal.

State Board of
Health Shows Big
Decrease of Malaria

Figures recently released for pub.
lication by the Georgia State Board
of Health show satisfactory reduc-
ton OF malaria in the State consider
ing the limited means available for
malaria control. These figures show
that in 1920 there were $50 deaths in
Georgia from malaria; in 1921, 1853;
in 1922, 584; in 1923, 4S9, and in 1924,
4S8. 1t is seen from these figures
that in the year 1921 there was a re-
duction of 81 deaths, in 1922 an in
crease of 116, in 1923 a decrease of 95
and in 1924 decrease of 81. In the
Ifiveyear period there was a total of
1888 deaths from malaria or practi.
cally l death to every LAO people.
Taking this five-year period a very
satisfactory reduction is shown by
decrease of 12l deaths in 1924 over
the year 1920. Observing these fig
ures further we find an annual death
rate as follows In 1920, l death to
$3.50 inhabitants; in 1921, to 6,1S7;
in 1922, 1 to 1858; in 1928, 1 to 5,921,
anu III 1919 L u OiOlZ. MS u6CIGdS6
in the malaria death rate is consid-
cred an indication of what could be
done in Georgia with additional per-
sonnet for the State Board of Health.
Considering the fact that the per cap
tia appropriation for Georgia for pub
lie health is many times lower than
for any other southern state mate
rial reduction can not be expected
until the number of field workers can
be increased over the present person
mel of one man.
Malaria is without doubt the most
serious Of our public health prob
lens. 1t is directly and indirectly the
cause of the greatest amount OF sick
ness in our malarious sections. 1t is
the cause OF the greatest economic
loss because it affects to serious
extent both our farm and Industrial
workers.
The State Board of Health is at tue
present time assisting as far as pos
sible. cities, towns, communities ana
Industries in the eradication OF the
malaria mosquito and wherever TINS
work is being conducted a material
reduction is noted in malaria preva-
