And ii is quite natural that the de-
partment of health comes to be re-
Earded as prying sentinel, having
for its main interest the putting up
OF quarantine placards and the issu-
ing of burial permits. Obedience TO
its orders is given. too, in the spirit
set forth in this announcement re-
ceived by health officer:
Dear Sir:-This is to notify you
that my boy. Ephraim, is down bad
with the measles as required by the
new law"
II the health departments. state
and local, as agents in the interest of
preventative medicine, are to fulfill
in a large measure, this function,
does it not seem that there should be
bulletins for gratuitous distribution
giving practical knowledge on GER
tain definite points? The bulletins
should deal correctly and popularity
with such questions as the great need
of improved railway sanitation, the
evils of the public drinking cup; linz
itations in the use of disinfectants
and deodorants (dispelling the notion
that the smell of chemicals in a room
necessarily makes il sanitary; the
traffic in patent medicines and the
conditions of low physical and men
tai efficiency that must accrue to
people tolerating child-labor Great
credit is due to such secular papers as
Golfers Weekly and the Ladies'
Home Journal for so effectively deal
ing with some of these questions.
This work, however, should not be
left entirely to them.
At present the work in Colorado
appears to be little more than statis-
tical. With this mention there is in
tended no disparagement OF the value
of statistical information. When,
however, we become as interested in
guarding the health OF our people as
we are in guarding the health and
life of fish and game-and the state
auditors report would indicate a
wide discrepancy between what is
and what should be,-we shall con-
us all in the matter OF securing safer
environment.
And when we come to hold at a
premium the life and health of peo-
pie as we do the life and health OF
plants and animals, we shall have
created a sentiment that shall de-
mand the establishment of a national
department of health, not permitting
the narrow scope and authority that
must of necessity be characteristic of
the bureau of health which is at
present found to be part of the mis-
cellaneous division of the department
OF the treasury.-Inga NJ. X. Allison,

ATHLETICS
HARVARD AND COLUMBIA
CREWS WILL RACE TODAY

Cambridge, Mass, April 1s-Harvard
and Columbia will match their aquatic
prowess on the waters of the Charles
river tomorrow afternoon in race of
Ia miles. AS Harvard has a crew of
veterans, while Columbia has had two
changes within the past few days,
what little betting has been done On
the contest has been with Harvard as
the favortc.
The contest tomorrow will be more
like a sprinting match than an endur-
ance like that over fourmile course,
and while neither crew is in the condi-
ton 10 which the coaches eXpet to
bring them for the harder contests
some two months hence, it is expected
that fast time will be made. The race,
however, will be rowed over a current
less course for the first time In the
history of racing in this vicinity. Since
the last races on the Charles, the riv-
err has been damned and there is very
little, if any, movement in the waters
at any time of the day.
The previous record for the course is
minutes and 13 seconds, made by
Cornell several years ago, and these
figures will probably stand, as the pres
ent course is minute or two slower in
the opinion of the experts.
The Columbia crew arrived last
night, and today the men were given
two trial spins over the course under
conditions which were almost perfect.
The visitors went off with lively,
dashing stroke, which looked well. to
those who watched the boat from the
banks.
The Harvard crew went out during
the afternoon, but after a few short
spins UP and down the river spent the
rest OF the afternoon in practicing rae
ing starts.
Tomorrow's contest will start about
$50 p NJ and with good conditions and
fine weather it is expected that 10000

cLlDDEN TOURISTS WILL
SPEND NIGHTS IN TENTS.

Detroit. April 16.--The Gldden tour
of 1909 promises to be the most novel
and by far the most interesting tour
of its kind ever held. 1t will virtually
be two-weeks camping-out party, in
that, after the start is made at De-
troit on July II, the great party will
sleep in tents every night from that
place TO Denver, the end of the tour.
That Detroit will be an ideal start
ing point in view of the enthusiasm
shown there, was amply proven last
Monday, when the f. M. r. pathfind-
ing car started off on it's long tour. In
the car was the official pathfinder, Dial
Lewis, who has performed the same
task tor every previous A. A. a. tour.
He was accompanied by Nathan Lag
arnick, a photographers: E. Leroy Pei
letter of the f. nj. F. Co, and news
paper man. George Meinzinger occu-
pied the drivers seat, making party
of five.
Detroit folks certainly do thing up
in royal style" said Pathfinder Lewis
when he saw the crowd of motorists
who had assembled to wish the party
godspecd and give the popular car
rcusing send-off. Prominent in the
crowd was Mayor Breitmeyer, who had
come to fire the starting gum and every
member of the Detroit Auto Dealers
Association was present to lend
hearty handshake President Lane Of
the u. A. d. A. handed a flag to Lewis
to present to the Denver Automobile
Club with the respects of the Detroit
Assoc iation. "Tell them we Will come
and get it in July" said Lane.

Climate and Health.

1t must be frankly recognized by the
health seeker that there is no such
thing as an ideal climate. Every eli
mate has it's advantages for some par
ticular purpose, and usually attached
to this corresponding disadvantage.
There is no particular value in warmth,
as such. On the contrary, many dis
eases, including some cases Of con-
sumption. do much better in cold eli
mates There is no special advantage
in altitude, as such 1t is positively in
furious to certain conditions of the
heart. lungs and nerves. There is no
overwhelming advantage in dryneSs of
climate as such. Catarrhs of all sorts
are almost as common in the Excess

the desert as they are in the moist air

our marine or amphibian ancestry vet

ance of moisture at some time of the
year in order to thrive. 1t has been no

race to spread and flourish along those
levels of latitude which we term the
temperate zone or green rainbelt.
Physicians and psychologists are
coming to the somewhat unexpect con-
clusion that taking it the year raound,
for the majority of individuals, except
those who are i'll with some definite
disease. the most healthful climate is
not the warmest or the driest or the
most equable but the one which has
considerable extremes Of annual varia-
ton of temperature, and moderate
daily ones. with fair amount of cold,

The other teams mentioned is being
