SHOWS ENORMOUS GAIN Three Million Dollars 8pent In Con irvation of Public Health Shows Saving of Twenty-Three Million Dol. lars to the Commonwealth Diph. theria, Typhoid and Tuberculosis Give Way Before the Steady Ad vance of 8tate's Health Officers. The precious lives of thou sands of little children have been spared because the state In Its wise beneficence has furnish ed diphtheria antitoxin to the poor. Typhoid fever is killing 2500 less people per year in Pennsyl vania than It did four years ago. Tuberculosis now claims 1000 lives leas a year in this state. Education and co-operation of the people in health matters, backed by vigorous support of the public press, is helping Com missioner Dixon to win out in war against disease. Industries seek states where health records show low death rate. In the last five years the state of Pennsylvania has been engaged In conservation work of an extremely Important and fundamental kind. With President Roosevelt It believes that the preservation of the people's nat ural resources should begin with the preservation of the people themselves. The public cannot conscientiously per mit the wasteful sacrifice of its forests and Its other forms of natural wealth, but even less conscientiously can It permit the wantom sacrifice of its children's lives. In maintaining a fully equipped stale health department and engaging on a large scale in this great warfare against disease, Pennsylvania has tak en a foremost stand for real modern civilization. The creation of govern mental agencies for the preservation of the public health marks a new con ception of governmental responsibil ity. The work thus far marks only tho beginning merely Suggests the good which this department, under tho direction of Dr. Samuel O. Dixon, the commissioner, has in view. In the last thirty years the atti tude of the public towards III health hai radically changed. Until the re searches of that resourceful genius, I.oula Pasteur, disclosed the real cause of contagious diseases, the aver age man's conception was practically that which had prevailed In the mid dle ages. The Infections were merely manifestations of the Inscrutable wlsoom of Providence, expressions of divine wrath; punishments for sinful human kind. Even the scientist re garded them as fundamental facts of nature, like death Itself, which every one must uncomplainingly accept. Pas teur, however, In a few masterly ex periments, brushed aside all this Ig norance and superstition. He showed that all contagious diseases had a clearly defined and obvious origin. Thov were not mysterious visitations, without tangible cause and Insuscep tible to tangible control. They were caused by an Infinitely large universe of Infinitely small forms of vegetable and animal lire. He demonstrated thnt the connection between these malevolent micro-organisms and the entiling disease was as close as that between sunlight and heat. And h al-'.o Immediately drew the Inevitable conclusion. If the world were once rid of these organisms, he declared. It would be rid of contagious diseases. "It Is now within the power of the world" such was the deduction which he drew from bis experiments, "to rid Itself of all contagious dis eases." Setting Pace In Health Work. This was the goal at which Pasteur aimed; that has been the goal at which all movement's for Improving the people's health have necessarily aimed since. And this was the ulti mate ambition which led, five years ago, to the organization of the Penn sylvania State Department of Health, a Pennsylvania In which there shall be no young men and women lan guishing away with tuberculosis; a Petnsylvanla In which no children shall die of diphtheria; a Pennsylva nia In which there shall be no ty phoid, no scarlet fever, no smallpox, no meningitis, no dysentory, no ma laria this Is the kind of Pennsylvania which the State Department of Health hones ultimately to create. It does not expect to reach this goal In year, or ten years,' perhaps not In a single generation, but this Is the Ideal that It has constantly In mind. It re cognizes the fact that, so long as any of tiiese diseases exist, their preva lence Is a distinct reproach to the state. It Is reproach simply be came the method eliminating them Is known. The old theory of government as a power which protects Ha cltl rens only from foreign foes and native niaraudors Is giving way to new atan (Ur1 of civilization. The greatest enemies to the state are those whirl are unseen, and the ft'rif duVjTof an tightened commonwealth la to pro tect It people against them. Other states are gradually rising to this new conception, but Pennsylvania now cludrly heads them all, fur In no othei state Is the battle against the common enemy being waged on so large a scale as here. The expert nunt. therefore. It not only of ex treineimportance to Pennsylvanlans, but as an example to the- nation and the world. Doss It Pay. Naturally the pcojde are Interested to Itartt precisely how' the large sum th state Is Investing annually In good health Is being spent; what are its dividends, as measured In the actual saving of human lives? Is Pennsyl vania a richer, a more healthy com monwealth now than It was four years ago? Is the average citizen less like ly to acqulre'a mortal disease less likely to die If he does acquire one? In exchange for Its generous appro priations Pennsylvania has' received, first of all, a considerable reduction In Its death rate. Not so many people din here now as died In 1906, the year when the new department began Its organized work. The citizens of Pennsylvania, especially Its little chil dren, stand a better chance than they formerly did of reaching mature life and a green old age. Mortality sta tistics do not commonly furnish en clting readlnt. but, when considered from this point of view, they make an emphatic personal appeal. Thus. In 1906 and 1907, the death rate In Pcni'sylvanla per thousand of popula tion was 16.5; In 1908, It 'had dropped to lb.7, and In 1909 to 15.S. At first glaiice this may not seem a remark able diminution, but In a state with a population of more than 7,000,000 even a fractional decrease Is a substantial gain. This appears when one figures precisely what this Blight numerical drop means In the actual saving of human lives. Had the death rate ot 19uH and 1907 prevailed In 1908, pre cisely B519 more people would have died than actually succumbed. Had this same rate applied In 1909. Instead of the decreased percentage recorded by the Bureau of Health, just 8388 men, women and children now living and presumably In good health and spirits, would have rendered their final tribute to nature. In other words these matter of fact statistics, when Interpreted In their real rela tion to the welfare and happiness of the state, mean the saving to the state of 13,907 lives. Human Livea aa 8tate Assets. This fact has an Immense personal mennlng for all people of the state among these rescued lives might have been your own, your wife's, your child's; but they also have a value which Is measurable In dollars ant" cents. The political economists now recognize that the most valuable kind of wealth Is the human life that hu man labor Is worth at least five times thac of all other forms of capital. Even the newly landed Immigrant, ac cording to these investigators, has a per capita value of $875; that Is, be adds Just that much to the nation's capital. Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale, one of the foremost American economists, has painstakingly figured the financial value to the state of every citizen at particular ages. A new-born Infant, says Professor Fish er. Is actually worth $90, while a five-year-old child Is worth $950. From this point on his value rapidly In creases; at ten, could he be sold at auction, his. market value would be at least $2000; at twenty It would be $4000, and at thirty. $4100. From this point the average human being begins to lose value, In proportion to his de creasing productivity, until at fifty, Professor Fishor gives him a value of only $700. This same authority places the worth of the average life lost by preventable diseases at $1700. Taking this as a basis the decreased death rate In Pennsylvania for the last two years represents a money saving of $23,041,900. The state. In other words. Is just that much richer has Just that much more available capital. For Its actual expenditure to date of $3,000, 000. Including a large portion for per manent Improvements, It has taken In more than $23,000,000. The earnings of the new Department of Health, con sldered purely from the commercial standpoint, thus represent dividends of mere than 786 per cent In four years. , What Is the value placed by the av erage citizen upon bis children's lives not the financial value estimated by tha unemotional economist, but the worth In affection, good citizenship and in all that holds the social organi zation together? Is It good business policy to save the lives of children at $7 apiece? Is It paternalistic and so cialistic to protect them against dan gerous Infections at the rate of $2 per head? That Is what the state of Penn syUanla Is doing now. This conserva tive old commonwealth has reached that stage of paternalism where the government will not sit quietly by and watch a little child choke to death with diphtheria when the expenditure of a few dollars from the public treas ury will relieve Its sufferings and save Its life. Saving the Little Ones. For the last ten years the practical remedy for diphtheria has been avail able for the children of prosperou" households, but It has not been aval' able for the poor. Since Von Bearing's Immortal discovery that the blooci serum of a horse which has recovered from diphtheria possessed wondertu' ruratlve properties, and when lntn ducod Into the human organism, wou usually destroy the disease, thla fo. mer scourge of childhood has lop nearly all Its terrors. In the old daj diphtheria destroyed nearly one-be of all the children It assailed. It wou. do the same today among the poor In Pennsylvania were It not for the anti toxin which the state provides free. That large numbers of unprotected children have died most shocking dud hs In the past for the sule reason that their parents were too poor to afford them anti toxin, la a melancholy reflection, but these things will not happen In the future. In every corner Of Pennsylvania, usually at well known drug stores, there are now stations for the - free distribution of ,antl-toxln, numbering 650. Whenever any poor mans child falls III with diphtheria, his physician, by making out a proper application, can secure free all the anti toxin be needs to effect a cure.
