Public Health and Conservation.
Prof. Irving Fisher, the eminent po-
litical economist of Yale University,
who in one of his papers before the
recent International-' Tuberculosis
Congress in Washington declared “that
consumption ¢osts the people of the
United States more than a billion dol
lars a year, is preparing an exhaustive
report for the National Conservation
Commission, which will contain not
only these figures, but similar data on
the economic loss to the country from
all other preventable diseases.
Prof. Fisher is 8 member of the Na-
tional Conservation Commission, and
for many years has been carrying on
studies along these lines. The Com-
mission received letters from physi-
cians all over the country, urging it to
consider the bearing of public health
on the economic efficiency of the nation
in its efforts to ascertain the resources
of the country.
The Commission from the beginning
has contemplated reports on the eco-
nomic ‘aspects of several phases of the
Conservation movement. which ~ affeet
thy duration and effectiveness of hu-
man life, but Prof. Fisher has under-
taken to prepare a comprehensive
statement of the whole subject of the
relations of public health to the gener-
al field of Conservation, and especially
as to the waste from preventable dis-
eases and unnecessary deaths.
Dr. Fisher is professor of political
economy at Yale University and chair-
man of the “Committee of One Hun-
dered” of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, which
nas for a long time been carrying on
propaganda for the increase of national
health through the elimination of pre-
ventable diseases. This Committee of
One Hundred is composed of physicians
and men engaged in active sociological
work in every part of the country, and
the results of their investigations and
experience are all available to Dr.
Fisher, so that his report ought to be
the most thorough-going and complete
summary of the situation ever made.
At the Tuberculosis Congress, Prof.
Fisher declared that 138,000 persons
die of consumption every year. The
cost of medical attendance and the
loss of earnings before death averagé
at least $2,400, he said, while if to this
is added the money that might have
been earned with health, the total loss
in each case is about $8,000. He point-
ed out, also, that the disease usually
attacks young men and women just at
the time when they are beginning to
earn money, and cuts off their earning
power for about three years on an
average, before they die.
This subject of the economic value
to the country of a general raising of
the average health came up in the
Governors’ Conference at the White
House in May. Dr. George M. Kober
in his speech on the “Conservation of
Lif and Health by Improved Water
Supply,” at the Conference presented
figures which showed that the decrease
in the “vital assets” of the country
ty-Rirectories containing names and |
through typhoid fever in a single year
is more than $350,000,000. Typhoid is
spread by polluted water largely, so
that the death rate from this disease
can be directly reduced by the purifi-
cation of city drinking “water. Dr.
Kober quoted statistics to show that
the increased value of the water to the
city of Albany, where the typhoid
fever rate was reduced from 104 in
100,000 to 26 by an efficient filtration
plant, amounts to $475,000 a year, of
which $350,000 may be considered a
real increase to the vital assets of the
city. Census Bureau figures show
that the average annual death rate
from typhoid in cities with contaminat-
ed water supplies was reduced from
69.4 per 100,000 to 19.8 by the substitu-
tion of pure supplies.
Dr. Kober cited estimates showing
that the average length of human life
in the Sixteenth century. was between
18 and 20 years, and that at the close
of the Eighteenth century it was a little
more than 30, while to-day it "is~ be-
tween 38nd 40—indeed, the span of
lite since 1880 has been lengthened
about six years.
Four Eclipses in 1909.
According to the announcement of
the Naval Observatory authorities,
there will be four eclipses next year,
two of the sun and two of the moon.
The first eclipse of the sun, June 17th,
will be visible in a large portion of
North America, but the second, Dec-
ember 12th, will be invisible in the
United States. The lunar eclipses
will take place on June 3d and No-
vember 26th. The first will be visible
in a part of North America, and the
second throughout the continent.

EASY TO MIX THIS,

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, which is said
to be a positive remedy for backache
or kidney or bladder derangement, if
taken betore the stage of Bright's dis-
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparills, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A Well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
“at a small cost from any good prescrips -
tion pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up it asked to do so. He further
stated that while this preseriptign is
often prescribed in rheumatic afflic-
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache, as it has
a peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to
sift and filter from the blood the foul
acids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can § make no mis-
take in giving it a trial.
Farmers’ Week.
If you have not seen the program
for Farmers’ Week at The Pennsyl-
vania State College, which begins Dec,
30, 1908, and closes Jan. 6, 1909, write
tor it, addressing the School of Agri-
culture and Experiment Station, State
College, Pa.
The program for Farmers’ Week: at
The Pennsylvania State College shows
over 100 practical exercises and lec-
tures. They include stock judging,
corn-scoring, seed-testing, identifica-
tion of weed seeds, growing alfalfa,
fertilizer results, butter-making, milk-
testing, cattle-feeding, meat-dressing,
poultry-judging, fruit-growing, cook-
ing demonstrations, forestry, plant
diseases, uses of cement and electricity.
The list of speakers includes, not
only regular instructors in the schools,
Agriculture, Engineering and Science,
but Director Thorne, of the Ohio Ex-
periment Station; Director Voorhees,
of the New Jersey Experiment Station;
B. D. White, of the Dairy Division, U.
8. Department, of Agriculture; Prof.
Graham, of the Ontario Agricultural
College ; H. E. Cook, of New York, and
a number of Pennsylvania men eminent
in their respective lines of work.
Men and women interested in prac-
tical farm or home subjects will” find
the week, Dec. 30 to Jan. 6, a profitable
one to spend at State College. The
only expenses are for traveling and
living. The Pennsylvania R. R. Com-
pany will sell a reduced rate round-
trip ticket from all stations on its road
to Bellefonte or Lemont and return.

The Future of America Holds the
Enfranchisement of Women.
How can I calmly characterize the
| amelioration of conditions, which the
changed and changing position of
woman will effect in the near future?
Remembering as I do the circumserib-
ed horizon formerly imposed upon my
sex, and the very defective mental ap-
paratus with which it was expected to
encounter and answer the exigencies
of life, I. am almost overwhelmed by
the glorious prospect which now un-
folds before it. The education equal-
ing that of men, the greater respect
following the higher intellectual at-
tainment, the precious gains in legal
and political status, the warm welcome
extended to women in every depart-
ment in which they have attained ex-
cellence! The breaking up of that
winter of passivity whose frost is slowly
melting in the new sunlight, the grow-
ing unity of interest prevailing in the
gex, the power shown of holding. fast
to its normal instincts in all the dazzle
of the new freedom!
1 have been fortunate in personal
acquaintance with some of the pioneers
of the great progress. I have known
Florence Nightingale in her youth,
Lucy Stene in her middle life, Lucretia
Mott in her ripe and beautiful old age.
A noble army of men and women went
along with, them, whose labors are
already bearing a rich harvest.
This enfranchisement is, indeed, only
partially achieved, and much of it may
be tardy in its arrival. Buf it 1s sure
to come. The pattern is set, and the
slow looms of Providence are busy
with its warp and woof. To many of
us, there is divine music in their work-
ing, and enough of the great design ap-
pears to fill us with thankfulness for
what we see, andwith joyous anticipae
tion of what is to come.—Julia Ward
Howe in the January New Idea Wom-
an’s Magazine.
