HEALTH CONSERVATION NOW.
President Roosevelt to Urge the National
Bureau.

Bureau.
New York City, Oct. 3l.-Dr Charles
A. L. Reed of Cincinnati, chairman of
the National Committee on Medical Leg.
islation of the American Medical asso.
cation, in a speech TO the members of
the New York Academy OF Medicine on
Thursday night in Hosack hall in West
Eorty-third street, said that President
Roosevelt had authorized him to state
that he would recommend 10 Congress
in his next message a law TO conserve
the public health such as had been rec
commended by the American Medical as
ISOLATION. Seated on the stand with DR..
Reed were ex-presidents Of the American
Medical association. Drs. John A. Wy.
eth, Joseph Bryant, and j. IL Musser.
DIR. Abram jacob was also on the ros-
trum.
DR.. Reed began by referring to the
organization of the movement by the
National Health Defense League, and
later by the American Association for
the Advancement Of Science. Both of
the great national parties, he added, were
in sympathy with the movement, and
had so declared in their platform. "On
the heels of these various steps for
ward.' Dr. Reed said, Il am gratiiied to
be able TO assure you that the president
has authorized the statement that he
will formulate definite proposals and
transmit them with his endorsement to
the next Congress. 1t now devolves upon
the 10000 doctors in the United States
not only to back the president in his
work. but TO anticipate those actions by
persistent campaign Ia behalf of this
fundamental feature of the public well
fare"
DR.. Reed argued for the education of
the people along proper lines and to inn
press upon them that "the army OF bae.
cilli already encamped in our homes is
host more numerous than all the en-.
listed men in all the armies in all the
world, in all ages, and each individual
bacillus Is capable under certain condi'
tons of destroying human life" Speak
ing OF the pollution of streams, DR.. Reed
referred to the Ohio watershed as "a
thousand miles of river and thousand
miles of typhoid" Over $4,000 persons
die every year of cancer, he said, and
the death rate from that cause is in
creasing by leaps and bounds. Ii only
one half of the persons who die or are
incapacitated as a result Of tuberculosis
and typhoid were saved, DR.. Reed de-
clared that it would mean saving in
money sufficient to maintain "a national
board OF health, pay for the army and
navy, f0rtify our coasts, duplicate our
armament on the seas, deepen our inter
nal waterways and in ten years would
pay for the Panama canal and wipe out
our national debt"

PLAIN CELEBRATION.

PLAIN CELEBRATION.
Rather than to permit the celebration
Of the discovery of Lake Champlain next
year to flzzle out into miserable fasco,
the state should appropriate reasonable
sum to supplement the appropriation
already made by the state of New York
The idea of the tercentennary celebration
of Samuel de Champlain's discovery
found birth in Vermont, if we are not
mistaken, and it was Vermont that in
terested New York and Canada to CO.
operate in the celebration Therefore,
Aavingput herhandto the plough and hav-
ing enlisted theservices of others, Vermont
would be foolish indeed now to let the
matter become weakened by lack Of sup
port. The praise or blame-much of it
for the celebration will rest on Yer
mont. and we cannot afford to tie the
hands Of the state commission with
niggardly appropriation. Aside from
this consideration OF pride in the success
ful elimination Of ones own idea, there
is the worth Of the idea itself. The three
hundredth anniversary of such an i'm
portant historical event as the discovery
Of the Lake and the contiguous region
is Of itself deserving Of fitting reoogni-
ton. So. then. let US appropriate to
this work such q sum ss is needed to
give ample observance.

TIE USE oE Tuv ALDRicH Library
Tne isct that during the first month
Of the Aldrich public library more books
were loaned than there are total volumes
on the shelves indicates to a certain
extent the place which public library
fills in this community. Add to that,
also, the fact that the reading rooms
in the new building, both for juveniles
and adults, are nightly filed with read
ers to the very minute Of closing, and
you have a conception OF the popularity
Of the institution. In his admirable dedi-
catory address, Judge Stafford declared
that library might be q great benefit,
or, on the other hand, it might be a
positive detriment to community. In
spfar as 1t stimulates mental activity
along the proper lines, the public library
may be said to act as a powerful agency
for good in the place. To serve that
purpose there must be wise selection
of books, papers, magazines. pictures,
ETC., to be set before the public; and
the public must be encouraged to use
them. In the Aldrich library we have
such a selection of material, and the
public Is most certainly taking advan
tage of the opportunities there afforded.
There has thus far been no need for
urging a patronage Perhaps the only
suggestion to be made would be to en-
courage the public to pay less attention
to the ever changing fiction Of the day
and turn to the standard works by the
more famous writer's. A steady mental
diet of light fiction is not the best choice
for reading.
