is of enormous proportions, both in cir
conference and height. 1t has a mum
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves Of yellowisb
green color. The wood is extremely
fine and easily worked in green state.
1t is not given to either varying oil
splitting. The wonderful part about
1t Is that after being cut the wood gets
gradually harder and in the course OF
few years it is absolutely petrihed,
whether left in the open air or buried
in the ground From this timber houses
can be built that would in few years
become completely 6reproof and would
last as though built of stone.

THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF HEALTH

During the sessions of the Health
Officers School in this city attention was
called by President Caverly, of tie state
Board of Health, to the enormous cost OF
disease. Additional facts concerning this
subject are furnished in a statement by
the committee on congestion of population,
issued in New York by Secretary Marsh,
who declares that the annual economic
waste in that city alone from cert ain pre-
ventable diseases. amounts to between
s37 1000, 600 and S4l ,000,00 This esti-
mate of the loss to the city was made by
the committee on the basis of the loss of
time of the wage earners through illness
and untimelv death due largely to conges-
ton of population.
If diseases are preventable in New York
and the economic waste of the community
therefrom. aside from that of the taxpayer
amounts to more than 100000 600 year,
the committee argues that it would be a
part of wisdom to study more carefully
the condit ions causing or affecting prevc MT
able disease
The Health Department makes this
classification of pcvontable diseases:
Typhoid fever, pneumonia, broncho-pneu-
monia. diphtheria, smallpox, cerebro
spinal meningitis, diphtheria and Group,
measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough,
diarrhoeal diseases tuberculosis pull
monalis
No value was placed on the days of sick
ness of persons under 20. A value OF
So 900 was assigned as the value of a
mans life, that is his prospective earnings
at time of death from 20 to 60 years of age,
which is smaller than the total prospective
prospective earnings assessed by the State
Board of Health for men under 50, and
there were comparatively few deaths of
males over So If, however, the value of
only 81 800 be assessed for the cost OF each
death of men between these ages, 20 to
80, the reduction is only $4,000, 600 for
the tot estimate for four years. The
value of the life of female between 20
and 60 at time of death is placed at 81 ,000
The value of wages lost by males over
20 years of age to 90 years is conservatively
placed at 81 a day, of woman at 10
cents. Boys between the ages of and
p wears are valued at 81 900, and girls
at $500, while from birth to years of age
500 is taken as the value of life for both
male and female.
Under this calculation it is said that the
total economic waste from deaths from
certain preventable diseases in New York
may be conservatively estimated as $685.
155, 900 for the four years 1905 to 1908,
inclusive. and the economic waste from
sickness from certain preventable diseases
in New York among persons from 20 to
90 years of age may be placed at ST.,
O93 ,40S25, making total of S166, PAS
40S.25
What must be the economic loss to the
country if such astounding figures can be
furnished for one city. The evidence fur
n shed should be a conclusive answer to
those persons who are inclined to scott at
the efforts made to secure more sanitary
conditions than our forefathors enjoyed.
If it is possible to prevent the dread dis
ease given III the list of the committee
named, no effort should be spared to stamp
them out as speedily as possible.

SUPPORT THE STATE FAIR

The Vermont State Fair will open in
about two weeks. This fair is no longer
an experiment, but an established YER
mont institution AS such it dc serves the
hearty support of all patriotic Vermonters.
If it is to be a success it must be supported
by our people, both in the matter of atten-
dance and exhibits.
The Journal believes that the State Fair
affords abundant opportunities for the
great agricultural industry, which the
farmers cannot afford to ignore If we can
get into the habit of sending to this fair
cur best livestock, our finest dairy pro-
ducts, our choicest fruit, we shall be able
best kind of an advertisement for YER
mont, one of which we shall be Just "
proud.
There should be sufficient loyalty to the
best interests of the State, sufficient pride
in doing our best, to prompt the owners
Of fancy horses, cattle and sheep to send
come 81 their choice stock to the fair The
same might be said in regard to all our
products that may properly be entered
at such a time,
J. 1t ought to be possible for farmers to
obtain at such fair many practical sug-
gestons of great benefit, not only in re-
gard to improved livestock, but also in
the matter of better agricultural methods.
There is sure to be much to interest every
body at the State Fair. Make your plans
TO attend.

1t is gratifying fact that the attendance

before, as it indicates steady growth for
our city. 1t is fortunate that a new school

difficult to do the best work. We can
afford, however. to be patient, knowing
that an abundance of room will be provided
as soon as possible.
