Some Facts From the Brewers

Been In Session at ST. Paul.

Hundreds OF wealthy brewers from every
important point in the United States have
held their annual meeting at st. Paul. Lo-
cal option and prohibition were treated
at length By reports concerning the exist

duced by brewers outside the association.
The report OF the publication and vigil

The report shows how the sale OF beer is
not the cause of crime to such an extent
as people believe. The following statistics
are given:

work of DR.. Hewitt. and were the result Of
long and well directed labor as secretary
OF the state board OF health. The reports
from more than ], 600 local health boards

tally Of diseases during 1887, the
results of race characteristics on dis
eese and numerous other facts are very
plainly depicted so as to be understood
at a glance. Ii is matter OF state pride
that these charts are the first that have
ever been compelled by any state board of
health in the United States, and to DIR.
Hewitt belongs the credit OF being the first
state health officer who has gone through
the necessary arduous correspondents. At
the microscopieal exhibition given to the
members of the conference and a few in
vited guests the new microscope owned
by the state board was shown, together
with few of local ownership. Bacteria
OF several diseases were shown, the most
interesting being the haeilli of leprosy, the
specimens being furnished by DIR. g. Ar
mauer Hanson, surgeon oil the leper hos
pital at Bergen, Norway.
DIR. w. A. Hunt OF Mortified presented
paper on the means of preventing the
spread OF infectious diseases. He claimed
that three-fourths of all disease was pre-
ventable, and that non-prevention was
due more to earelessness than anything
else. He urged compulsory vaccination
of children. and insisted that smallpox
could become an unknown malady il the
world would comhipe TO prevent its
spread.
To-day ID is on the increase in the United
States. and prompt measures will be need
ed to cheek it's progress. IL is every one 8
duty to at once report any suspected case,
and to eheeriully comply with the diree.
tions of the local health authorities. The
cause OF most OF the injections diseases be-
ing germs that find Judgments in filthy sur

enforcement OF sanitary laws. The
