THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE DAY.
II will thus be seen that ''the great
question OF the day." as the lamented DIR.
Gross said at the dedication OF the Mellow
ell monument, lis not this operation or
that; not ovariotomy or lithotomy, or
hip-joint amputation, which have reflected
SO much glory upon American medicine,
but preventive medIcine-the hygiene OF
our persons, our dwellings, our streets-in
a word, our surroundings, whatever and
wherever they may be, whether in city,
town. hamlet, or country. This is tho
great problem OF the day, the question
which you, as the representatives Of the
rising generation Of physicians should
urge, in season and out Of season, upon the
attention OF your fellow citizens the ques-
ton which, above and beyond all others,
should engage your most serious thoughts
and elicit your most earnest cooperation"
The claims Of preventive medicine could
not be more urgently presented. And how
necessary that they should be thus pre-
scented let these figures tell which give the
ratio Of mortality Of infants under
one year to deaths from all causes
in the countries named: In Belgium, Den
mark, Sweden. England and Switzerland,
14.3 to 26.2 per cent. In the United States
about 20. In Austria, Germany and Rus
sia, 81 10 As per cent; Petersburg, 1915;
Berlin, ISL. In the city Of New York,
1922. At the meeting OF the American
Public Health association held in New Or
leans in 1880, In a paper entitled "Sanita-
ton from an Economic Standpoint"
called attention 10 the disparity in the
death rate Of the negroes Of the south that
year as compared with that Of the whites
as proof OF the havoc that unsanitary con-
ditons will work with people sunk In filth.
This is made equally clear and convinc-
ing by the figures Of the annual death
rate OF the chief cities OF the State for the
month Of January for this year, per ] 1000

The Chicago Car Strike.

Notwithstanding the Talk of the men who

be another strike on the North side. This
was decided Mt a meeting of the street cur

subject Of another strike was brought up az

was ended by the following communication
to Mayor BOldenweick. Of Lake View:
