The keynote of his address was
national health should accomplish
for the nation itself what the nation
had accomplished for others in
Cuba, Panama and other places. This
is the first time in the south that
the president has addressed himself
to this subject.
lie also took occasion to talk ship

influence of the growing manufac-
