ROADS THAT STAY GOOD.

In the policy of solid road
building that has been inugu-
rated in several States it is the
first cost of laying a firm road
bed that caused the rural tax
payers to gasp at the largeness
OF the figures. They have be-
come so accustomed to spend
ing money in annual driblets
for repairs that a big round
lump sum to be used at once is
a change In method a little too
violent TO be accepted without
grave doubts and fears. 1t is
TO get away from the
belief that the annual repairs
must go on anyhow. Such a
reality that a road once built
will stay built, and with but
infinitesimal repair, for a score
OF years or so is out of the com
mon road experience in the
country sections that lack Of
faith concerning the new policy
has been the rule in all the
States where a good road law
has been put into effect.-Ex.

COTTON CONSUMPTION.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND CONSERVATION.

political economist of Yale Uni
versity, who, in one of his pa
pers before the recent Interna-
tional tuberculosis Congress in
Washington, declared that con-
sumption costs the people Of
the United States more thar a
billion dollars a year, is prepar-
ing an exhaustive report for the
National Conservation Commits
sion, which viii contain not
only these figures but similar
data on the economic loss to the
country from all other prevent
able diseases.
Prof. Fisher is a member Of
the National Conservation Com
mission and for many years has
been carrying on studies along
these lines. The Commission
received letters from physicians
all over the country urging it 70 /
consider the bearing of public /
health upon the economic eff /
cheney Of the nation in its ef-
forts TO ascertain the resources
of Che country.
The Commission from the be-
ginning has contemplated re
ports on the economic aspects
Of several phases Of the Conser-
walton movement which affect
the duration and effectiveness |
OF human life, but Prof. Fisher
has undertaken 10 prepare a
comprehensive statement of the
whole subject Of the relations
of public health to the general
field of Conservation, and es-
pecially as TO the wastes from
preventable diseases and unec-
essary deaths.
Dr. Fisher is professor Of po-
htlcal economy at Yale Univer-
sity and chairman of the Com
mittee Of One Hundred" of the
American Association for the i,
Advancement of Science. which
has for long time been carry
ng on propaganda for the in.
,rease of national health +,
the elimination Of pre- :
7entable diseases. This Com
nittee of One Hundred is com
posed physicians and men en- 2
gagged in active sociological work
N every part of the country.
md the results of their investi-
cations and experience are all q
lvailable to DR.. Fisher, so that 7
lis report ought TO be the most .
borough going and complete ?
of the situation ever :,
made. :,
At the tuberculosis Congress,
'rof. Fisher declared that I3s.- =
90 persons die of consumption =.
xery year. The cost of medi-l ,
al attendance and the loss of h
arnings before death average ,,
, 400, he said, while if to this
dded the money that might
ave been earned with health.
he total loss in each case is -
5000. He pointed out, also. Y
hat the disease usually attacks Is
oung men and women at the
me when they are beginning
, earn money and cuts off
leir earning power for about
lree years on an average be-
're they die.
This subject of the economic
