Mayme Lands of Kansas City

this city were united in marriage,
Rev. J. E. Largent of the Meth

a surprise to the many friends of
the young couple, but the congrat-
ulations which are being bestowed
are none the less hearty.
The bride was at one time res
ident of this city, and she has
been a visitor here several times
since leaving here and making her
home in Kansas CITY. For several
months she has been bookkeeper
for the Mission Mining Co. Her
father, Harry S. Lands, was at
one time quite prominent in Kan
sas politics, and was also warden
of the Kansas penitentary at Lam
sing.
The groom is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. F. Sweeney, and is a very
worthy young man. He is civil
and mining engineer, and a good
one. He is at present interested
with his father in mining opera
tons in the Baxter camp, and is
making good along that line.
The couple will live in Baxter
Springs.

PUBLIC HEALTH SCHOOL.
May Establish Centre Here to Lessen
Disease and POrertu.

The need of the establishment of school of sani-
tary science and public health, where persons
whose office occupation would make them in
1uential in preventing the spread of disease and
poverty might receive proper training. is pointed
out in article in the June supplement of The
Columbia Quarterly" by DR.. Norman E Ditman
DR.. Ditman has completed the plans for such a
school, which he believes should be properly To-
Gated in New York, in conjunction with univer-
sity like Columbia, where the association would
afford the best opportunity for reaching the per-
sons whose work would have the greatest effect in
preventing disease and blotting unsanitary con-
ditions.
In outlining his views to the scope and func-
tions of the proposed school, DR.. Ditman lays en-
phasis its economic value TO the community
He points that one-third Of the human race
die before the age of five years, largely from dis
eases which might have been prevented by the
judicious expenditure of a comparatively small
in the education of officials. physicians teach
ers. etc, in methods of preventing the taking and
spread of such diseases.
Although the of disease and the methods
Of preventing il have been comparatively well
mastered by scientists, he says little has been
done far-at least, in this country-in the dis
semination of knowledge in the quarters where
il would have the best effects the community.
Taking England as an example, that country dur
ing the nine years 1Sso-'S9. by the employment of
preventive measures. saved 81 .2S3 900 through
the expenditure OF s37S.Oooo0. Likewise. by proper
prophylactic measures the city of New York dur
ing the last twenty-five years has reduced its death
rate and saved thereby $50 10000.
DR.. Ditman is of the opinion that have made
great advances through the establishment of the
Sage Foundation and of the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research but says the good results
achieved fail in effectiveness if measures are
not taken spread the knowledge gained in proper
methods and through channels where ii will do
good. Apart from the plan of training special
lists in the study and prevention of disease DR.
Ditman aims reach public officials charged with
the public health, and through them the ultimate
goal, the public itself
