Medical officer in Cabinet.

II.
Among the subjects in which the council
is interested are the enactment of national
pure food and drug laws, the adjustment
of interstate guarantees, and. particularly.
the establishment of a medical department
a section of the Presidents cabinet. The
realization of this aspiration may be some
distance Off but the members are earnest
in their advocacy of the measure They
say that it would be able to intelligentIy
take charge of the whole public health and
marine hospital service which is now under
the treasury, and would be able to deal eff
fectiyely with interstate pure food and
drug laws and look after matters of public
health. sanitation and guarantees that
are now locally administered by the several
states, often with inefficient and conflicting
laws.
The council as a body called on Repre-
sentative Hepburn at the Capitol this morn
Ing, not to recommend any especial legisla-
ton. but to pay their respects and assure
him of their hearty sympathy and co-opera-
ton in his desire for a national pure food
law

board having already placed the matter in
the hands of the committee on finance and
streets. Some discussion occurred over the
numerous complaints of citizens over the
troublesome delays experienced in having
ashes removed by the city carts. Mr.. Will
liams. who brought up the matter. stated
that he had transmitted several complaints
to the mayor. 1t was the opinion of Mr..

subject

Delegate From Each State.

The council consists of one delegate from
each state and territorial medical associa-
ton and one from each of the national
medical services The direct representa-
tives of the central organization, compris
ing the national legislative committee Of
the American Medical Association, are
Prof. VIM. II. WEIGH of Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore; Prof. w. L. Rod
man of the Medico Chirurgical College,
Philadelphia, and the chairman DR.. Reed,
of the University of Cincinnati
The object of this council is to deliberate
upon pending and proposed legislation by
Congress that in any way affects the pub
lie health or influences the status and eff
cheney of the medical services or of the
men connected with them. The delibera-
lions of the council are of extreme impor-
lance, not only to the medical profession
and the public but incidentally to members
of both branches of Congress

Department of Public Health.

Relative to the proposed department of
public health DR.. Reed said: "A measure to
increase the powers and scope of the public
health and marine hospital service, more
particularly with reference to giving 1t con-
troll of all coast and frontier quarantine, is
in course of preparation This step is a re-
suit of the recent disastrous epidemic of
yellow fever in New Orleans and the subse-
quent quarantine conference at Chatta-
nooga.
1T is suggested that In approaching the
problem of creating a department of public
health certain cardinal principles ought to
be observed The movement ought to be
evolutionary rather than revolutionary care
being taken to conserve and expand rather
than to hamper or disturb existing agen-
cies.
The national health-conserving agencies
now scattered throughout the governmental
departments ought to be gathered into q
single department. with reference to both
economy and efficiency. The scope and
power of the department. consistent with
the exercise of the police power reserved to
the several states, ought to be greatly in
creased, particularly with reference to coast
ana frontier quarantine and sanitary control
OF interstate commerce and of all streams
and waters under national jurisdiction. Fa-
c1lities for hygienic research already estab-
hshed should be expanded, and policy, both
educational and executive, of the widest
reaching influence ought to be inaugurated.

CHAPTER I,
Held by the Enemy.

Held by the Enemy. -
II was night In Georgia.
The misty moonbeams. filtered
through the latticed branches OF the
pines. fell upon the figure OF man in
blue who followed a well-worn path
leading to a mansion situated on de-
batable ground near Atlanta.
Fierce and sanguinary battles had
been fought all the way from Chatta'
nooga. and the doom OF the Gate City
was sealed. Presently Atlanta and
its enyirous must fall into the hands
of the victorious Sherman. Those
were troublous times for the Confed'
eracy. and many heart grew cold
with a vague fear while facing the ep-
preaching disaster.
Close behind this advancing figure
n second might have been seen-a tall,
lean fellow who wore the chevrons OF
a sergeant. though 1t would be impos.
sihle to tell whether his dusty we'll
worn garments stamped him n mem
ber OF the blue or gray.
Emerging from the pines the house
lay before the leader. bathed In the
flood of lunar light
He came TO stand and gazed upon
the scene as though certain emotions
long since dead had been aroused to n
new life. While he thus stood, the
lanlSy sergeant joined him.
