Pure Water As An Economic Factor

Typhoid is spread by polluted wa
ter largely so that the death rate
from this disease can be directly
reduced by the publication of city
drinking water DR.. Kober quoted
statistics to show that the increased
value Of the water to the city of AL
bany, where the typhoid fever rate
was reduced from 1874 in 100000 to
b. sn efficient filtration plant,
amounts to $475,000 year, of which
S35GCo0 may be considered real
increase to the vital assets of the city.
Ceneus Bureau figures show that the
average annual death date from ty-
phoid in cities with contaminated
water supplies was reduced from 1914
per Ice 600 to 1873 by the substitu-
ton 81 pure supplies.
d. Kober cited estimates showing
that the average length of human life
in tic sixteenth century was be-
tw u 8 and 20 years. and that at
the close of the eighteenth century it
was q little more than 80, while to-
dav IS between SO and 40-indeed

ECONOMIC LOSSES
FROM DISEASES
Prof. Fisher Preparing Com
prenenSive Treatise.

Washington, Oct 1O.-Prof. Irving
Fisher, the eminent political econo-
mist of Yale University, who in one
of his papers before the recent In
ternational tuberculosis Congress
in Washington declared that con
sumption costs the people of the Uni
ted States more than a billion dollars
a year, is preparing an exhaustive re-
port for the National Conservation
Commission, which will contain not
only these figures but similar data on
the economic loss to the country from
all other preventable diseases
Prof Fisher is a member of the
National Conservation Commission
and for many years has been carrying
on studies along these lines. The
commission received letters from ply
sicians all over the country urging
it to consider the bearing of public
health on the economic efficiency of
the nation in its efforts to ascertain
the resources of the country
The Commission from the begin
ming has contemplated reports on the
economic aspects Of several phases
of the Conservation movement which
affect the duration and effectiveness
of human life, but Prof Fisher has
undertaken to prepare comprenhen-
sive statement of the whole subject
of the relations of public health to
the general field of Conservation, and
especially as to the waste from pre-
ventable diseases and unnecessary
deaths
DR. Fisher is professor of political
economy at Yale University and chair
man of the Committee of One Hun
dred the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, which
has for long time been carrying on
propaganda for the increase of nat
ional health through the elimination
of preventable diseases. This Com
mittee of One Hundred is composed of
physicians and men engaged in ac
tive sociological work in every part
of the country, and the results of
their Investigations and experience
are all available to DR.. Fisher, so
that his. report ought to be the most
thorough-going and complete sum-
mary of the situation ever made.

What Consumption Costs the Country

At the tuberculosis Congress, Prof.
Fisher declared that $4,000 persons
die Of consumption every year. The
cost OF medical attendance and the
loss of earnings before death aver
age at least $4,000, he said, while if
to this is added the money that might
have been earned with health, the
total loss in each case is about S.
600. He pointed out also, that the
disease usually attacks young men
and women just at the time when they
arc beginning to earn money and
cuts off their earning power for
about three years on an average, be
fore they die.
This subject of the economic value
to the country of general raising

NEW NAVAL BILL
Senate Proposes to Settle Question Of
Rank Of Staff and Line Officers -
May Increase Pay Of All Men.

Washington, Jan. "A bill whose
passage it is expected will work many
important changes in the personnel of
the navy and greatly increase its ef-
ficiency, was introduced today by Sen
ator Hale, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on naval affairs. 1t proposes a
to whether members of the staff corps
shall have rank with line officers, puts
an end to the creation of a bureau by
the secretary Of the navy and gives a
substantial raise in pay to every COM
missioned officer and enlisted man in
the navy and marine corps.
There is one important section re-
lating to appointment of midshipmen
to the line and staff corps, also a pro-
vision calling for the retirement of Of
ficers at a certain age That part of the
bill which relates to assignment OF the
line rank to officers of the various
divisions of the staff corps contains the
provision that they shall in no instance
assume command of any vessel.
The introduction by Senator Hale
today of his naval personnel bill, pro-
vided an occasion for somewhat gen.
eral discussion of the navy, and recent
occurrences in connection with that
branch of the public service. In pre-
senting the measure, Hale entered
upon full explanation OF it's provis-
ions, together with reasons for its
adoption, but was interrupted by TILL
man and Foraker, who piled him with
questions as to whether the facts con-
cerning the Borwnson incident would
be brought out during the considera-
ton of the personnel bill. Hale's re-
plies were rather indefinite, but he
admitted that the whole naval con-
troversy should be opened UP in the
naval committee consideration of the.
bill. He gave as his belief the prob
ability that the committee would go to
certain extent into the subject.
Il realize" he said, that we cannot
go thru this session without a pretty
general airing of those subjects. How
ever. the question of just how far the
investigation shall proceed, should be
left to the committee"
The subject was dropped.

Possession is to be 9 the 18th OF
this month. Mr.. r .se was one OF

up thriving business. The sale means
his retirement from active business.
Charles j. Doepke has been engaged
in the business of buying and selling
hides at this point for many years,
also devoting part of his time in as
sistng his father in the shoe business.
William Butt is former employe OF
c. II. Doepke, and as such was resi-
dent here for many years For the last
ten years however, he has been at
Dows. Iowa, where he had charge OF
Kennedy e. Gardner's store. The new
firm will be strong one.
Mr.. Henry Heykens of this town, is
at present closing out his stock of dry
goods and will retire from business
when he has his entire stock disposed
OF. Mr. Heykens has been in active
business here for forty years or more.
and his retirement from business will
leave vacancy among the older bus
mess men Of the town..
Two years ago Mr.. Heykens consid-
cred retiring from business and at that
time took his two daughters into bus
mess with him, to take some of the
business off of his shoulders: now he
will dispose of his entire stock, con-
sisting of dry goods and millinery, un-
less he finds a purchaser to take the
entire stock.
This is the most exclusive dry goods
store Ackley has at present and unless
the gap produced by Mrs. Heykens' re-
tirement is filled by some one else, it
will leave Ackley with one business
less than at present. There is. however
no vacant building in town at present
which goes to show that business must
be fourishing here.

should be observed by the federal gem
tlemen, and there has thus arisen a
system which develops no friction or
offensive bossism.
In the states of the eastern sections
of the country, from which senator's
nearly always go to conventions, and
from which they are planning to go
this year, the state machines are run
from Washington, usually from the
senate chamber. and conditions exist
which no state like Minnesota would
tolerate for a moment 1t Is in these
states that the machine opposition to
the Roosevelt politics is greatest. and
whose influence on the national con-
vention is to be dreaded by men who
think those policies ought to be con-
tinued.
