HEALTH CONGRESS
WILL BE AN
Discuss Pernicious Con
ditions In Public Schools of
the United States.
1
THE most important health con
ference that has ever been held
iu the United States will take
place In Buffalo, N. 1., Aug.
25-30, when the fourth International
congress on school hygiene meets In
that city. It Is the most Important
conference, because educational ex
perts have come to realize that the
most potent factor In dealing with the
health problems of any nation Is the
education of the people to know and
understand the laws and Influences
which govern Individual and public
health.
Many important public health mad
hygiene conferences liave been held In
this country and abroad, but hereto
fore all these have dealt principally
with adult or infant life. When the
individual has reached adult life ho
has attained an ago when health edu
cation has to bo forced upon him, while
iu infant life the individual Is too
young to receive a lasting impression.
It is with the school children, tlien,
that the most effective and lasting
work can bo accomplished in dealing
with the health problems that confront
humanity. Therefore tho assertion that
the fourth international congress on
school hygiene will be the most im
portant hcaJth conference ever hold In
the United States will find few to con
tradict it.
The Importance Bealized.
The congress is being conducted un
der the patronage of, the president of
the United States and Is being support
ed by practically every civilized govern
ment in the universe; showing thut at
last we ore coming to recognize the
value of haTing a proper foundation
upon which to build and support tlie
health of the individuals who form or
support the various governments. '
For the period of time within the
recollection of any one living at Uhj
present date the liealth of tho armies
and navies of tho world has been pre
sided over by the most effective coi'iw
of medical and health experts possible
to secure. It is but recently, however,
that the governments of the world
have begun to learn that those who
are to be their future citizens should
receive the same care and considera
tion that is given tho armies and na
vies. Tho boalth of tho school child is, in
deed, far more important to the nation
than that of its fighting men in tho
next generation at least.
Many governments, like our own,
mala it compulsory for children with
in certain ago limits to attend school,
but until tho recent post little tliought
or consideration woe given to the con
ditions which surround tho public
school children of the country from
the health standpoint, except that
which" was exerted by the boards of
education hi the different communi
ties. Tuberculosis In Schools.
It Is only when such startling reports
as the following from the Michigan
state board of health become current
that the governments, municipal, state
and national, become active In dealing
with these problems:
"In making a study of the occupa
tional relation to tuberculosis one can
not help being impressed by tho fre
quent occurrence of tuberculosis among
EUGENIC MARRIAGE FAILS.
Husband Accuses Bride and Compan

"Eugenic marriages are a failure,"
accordiiHj to Edwin Ferron of Lynn,
Mass., the first eugenic husband in
Massachusetts, who nursed a bodly
bruised face while ho denounced his
assailant and his wife. Perron was

ties producing physicians' certificates
as to tlielr fitness to marry.
Tcrron told tho pollco that he re

his room a strange man who was with
his wife leaped at him and hit him,
knocking him downstairs. His wife
and tlie stranger lfcd, according to
Terron.
Perron said ho and his wife had
quarreled frequently.
"I thing eugenic marriages are a
failure," reiterated tho eugenic hus
band to tho police.

Natives of Panama Are Building an

Word lately arrived In Panama from
Penonome, a town In the interior of
the republic, that Sogu:ido Sanchez, a
native of that section, has proclaimed
himself (ho Messiah,
Ho has predicted tho destruction of

Conference Takes Place Aug.

President Wilson.
schoolteachers. A careful study of tho
following table will give a very com
prehensive Idea of tho sltuntion:
"Over n period of years 52.4 per cent
of the deaths among schoolteachers
between tho ages of twenty-five- and
thirty-four were due to tuberculosis,
while only 23.8 per cent of the deaths
among nil persons in Michigan be
tween the ages of, twenty-five mid thirty-four
were due ' to this disease.
Among schoolteachers of aH ngcs27.0
per cent of tho deaths were duo to
tuberculosis, while among all persons
of all ages only w.4 per cent were due
to this disease.
"This is a matter which should en
gage tht active attention not only of
teachers, but of the patrons of the pub
He schools. It would appear from our
data that tho conditions under which
public school teachers labor are condu
cive to tuberculosis. This is, in a great
many Instances, an easily ostablislied
fact. Now, this ought not to bo. The
schoolteacher, who should be couHkler
ed as the most valuable factor iu the
establishment of an efficient citizen
ship, should not bo required to work
under conditions which are relatively
more conducive to the occurrence of
tuberculosis than other professions.
Precautions Necessary.
"Extreme precautions should lie ob
served by school commissioners and
boards of education to prevent teach
ers "who are affected with tuberculosis
from continuing in the service. This
should be done in the interest of the
teacher and in tho interest of tho pu
pils. Tho solution of the situation,
however, should not rest simply with
the attempt to prevent Infected teach
ers from being employed. The school
officials" and the patrons of our public
scliools'should be united in nn effort to
remedy the existing conditions, that
the public schoolroom can in no sense
bo considered ns a place In which one's
health is subjected to unfavorable
conditions. A more active interest In
considering tho principles of proper
construction, warming, ventilating and
lighting of school buildings will go a
great way toward remedying this sit
uation." Mouth Hygiene Instruction.
Tito alwve Is one of the strongest
pleas for teaching mouth hygiene tliat
has been published by the health de
partment of any state In tire Union.
The writer lms also contended thfit the
public schoolteachers of tho country
are not paid salaries which are com
mensurate with tho obligations that
are placed upon them In the fulfill
ment of their duties.
If practically three times as many
schoolteachers ore dying from tubercu
losis in this country as are people in
other walks of life, because of tho con
ditions which surround tho teachers,
what must be tho effect produced upon
tho schoolteachers of this country by
the various other germs which ore Jnst
ns readily transferred from individual
to Individual as are the germs which
produce tuberculosis? And wlvit must
be tho Influenco upon our bays and
girls who ore compelled by tho various
governments to attend school from six
to twelve years under the saino condi
tions and surrounded by tho same In
fluences that surround tho teaching
profession?
VENISON MAY REPLACE BEEF.

every family,
Ilelndoer are multiplying so rapidly
on government lands In Alaska that
T, N. Conway, manager in tho north
west for Armour & Co., has gone to
Alaska to investigate tho possibility
of shipping tho meat to tho United
States. Deforo going Mr, Conway said
tho suggestion of using the reindeer as
a food supply was ma do hy govern
ment representatives to J. Ogden Ar
mour. Mr. Armour believed that, with
tho existing transportation faculties, it
would not bo possible to sell the inont
at retail In eastern cities for loss than
75 cents a pound. Ho referred tho
question to Mr. Conway, however.
Mr. Conway is investigating along
tho arctic circle and along the shores
of tho Bering sea north of Nome,
where tho herds aro rncrcnslng very
rapidly. It Is his opinion that rein
deer, caribou and other animals thriv
ing in tbo great open regions of north
trn Alaska nnd Canada will become an
important factor in America's meat
supply as soon as railways have boen
extended farther Into that territory.

ENGLAND'S BIG DRINK BILL
Increase of About $25,000,000 in Year
1911 Over That of 1910 Cost
In America.
The drink bill In Great Britain, ac
cording to the statistics assembled by
tho secretary of tho United Kingdom
alliance and published In tho London
Times, was about $25,000,000 greater
In 1011 than In 1910. It amounted to
about $800,000,000.
For the United States, It is reported
In tho American Grocer, the cost of
alcoholic beverages In 1911 was very
nearly twice that of the United King
dom, being estimated at $1,508,470,514.
Very nearly $1,000,000,000 was paid for
boer alone. Prom 1871 to 1880 tho
average per. capita consumption of
beer was gallons per annumj In
1911 It had risen to 20.06 gallons.
The total value of tho nonalcoholic
stimulants consumed in America dur
ing 1911 is estimated at $256,549,C34.
Tho per capita consumption of coffee
is 18.B6 gallons, or very nearly that
of beer.
STARTLING FACTS ABOUT BEER"
Beverage Made From Malt Has Be
come Extinct and Now Manufac
tured of Deleterious Matter.
Who ever saw a beer advertisement
which did not claim beer to be the
product of barley alone? Yet the
brewers themselves, before tho Joint
committee on food standards of the
Association of State and National
Food and Dairy Departments de
clared: "Malt beer has become ex
tinct tn America, so why esarrect
It?"
"Beer," says the National Consum
ers' league. 'Is often made of glu
cose, sugar, rice, rotten corn, starch,
preservatives, boer-colorlng. etc"
"The uso of coloring matter and
preservatives in beer," says the Na
tional Food Magazine, "Is rapidly and
steadily Increasing."
FLAVOR OF ALCOHOLIC DRINK
From House and Lot, or Horse and
Cow to Little Children's Tears
Are Quaffed Over Bar.
Some queer things are drunk over
the bar. Sometimes It Is children's
drosses and wives' bonnets; some
times it is a horse or a cow; some
times it Is a house and lot; some
times even a good-sized farm is soaked
up and swallowed at the bar. Often
It is a man's truthfulness, his sobri
ety, his good sense, that goes Into
the cup and Is gulped down; yes, the
manB very Mfo may bo In the fatal
glass. Little children's tears, a wife's
heartache, a mother's heart-break
these aro quaffed with tho whisky and
boer passed over the saloon bar. Who
fancies the flavor?
Lee 8 Drinking, Less Crime.
It would appear to be difficult 'for
publicans In tho Bakewell district of
Derbyshire, England, to get a living
through soiling Intoxicants, The
town, which Is the center of a popu
lation of 35,000, has undergone a great
change with regard to tho drinking
habits of Inhabitants. Local landlords
are complaining bitterly of tho lack of
customers, and lately at one public
house It was stated that not a shill
ing's worth of liquor had been sold.
For the past several weeks there have
boen no oasee of drunkenness before
tho local bench, and serious crime
is almost unknown.
Train Temperance Teachers.
In tho great city of Birmingham,
England, a course of Saturday morn
ing lectures 1b being given by profes
sors at the university for tho training
of school teachers, who give instruc
tion to children in tho common
schools on the subject of alcoholism.
Blmllar Instruction is also being given
In Cambridge, England, under tho aus
pices of tho Cambridge County Coun
cil Both these new departures are an
advance along the right lines In pro
moting the cause of temperance la
gland.
GEXUIXE ECZEMA REMEDY.
New Remedy That Heals Eczema
Quickly.
Pell, the druggist, has sold hund
reds of jars of Hokara, and although
he offers to refund the purchase
price to any dissatisfied purchaser,
not one jar has been returned.
While this is surprising in itself,
yet the most marvelous thing Is tho
reports of chronic cases of eczema
that have been cured by this simple
skin food. People who have suffer
ed with scales, scabs and even bleed
ing Itching have found relief In
Hokara.
No matter waere the eczema, pim
ples or other breaking out occurs,
whether on the face, hands, legs or
body, the application of Hokara
should give quick relief, and even
the worst or most chronic cases
should be cured in a short time. a
You can buy a liberal-sized jar to
day at the very low price of 25c, and
with every package goes Pell's guar
antee to refund the money If It Is
not satisfactory.
