PREVENTION nErrnR THAN CURE

According to II report issued by The
Providcnt Savings Life Assurance So
clety. New York. over G00,0Q0 human
lives arc necdlcssly sacrificed In th'
United states every year. That Is tc
say. over forty per cent of the an
nual death rate is chargeable 70 dis
ease which could be avoided. OF post
poned. by the application of reasonable
preventive measures. 1t is estimated
that about 100000 persons are con-
stantly i'll In this country. more than
half of whom would be we'll If proper
preventives were applied in time.
Attention is called to the fact that,
notwithstanding all modern improve
ments in sanitary conditions and the
advance of the medical science. about
two persons die now where one died
thirty years ago from preventable or
postponable diseases of the heart, ar
teries, Kidneys and brain. The NOR
tallty rate from consumption has de-
creased, 1t is said 49 per cent. since
1880, while the death rate from heart,
arteries, and kidney trouble. has In
creased, In some localities, over hun
dred per cent. What has caused this
astonishing and wholly disproportionate
increase? Medical treatment and hy-
gienic living have prolonged num-
Der of lives. too weak to Withstand the
attacks of the diseases of middle life.
This may occount for part of the In
creased death rate, but as the report
states:
.rThe natural conclusion Is that the
abnormal increase in the death-rate
from the early wearing out of these
vital organs Is due to excesses in eat
ing drinking, working. playing
in short, Incorporate living, and the
strenuous life
Here Is suggestion that should not
go unheeded A word to the wise is
enough. Temperance in eating and
drinking, and everything, regularity in
habits, and. we may add. cheerfulness
and contentment are the great aids to
longevity. Together they form that
elixir of life which so many have sought
in vain. Happy they who learn in time
to drink from the fountain of temper
ance and virtue!
But the report contains practical
suggestion which deserves considera-
ton. 1t says the state should enlarge
its health department work and carry
on a continuous campaign of educa-
ton for the prevention of disease; and
1t should give free medical examina-
ton, periodically, TO any who may de-
sire it, for the purpose of detecting |
disease in time TO check or cure it,
This is an excellent suggestion. |
Many people are not aware of the dan
ger that threatens them. until 1t is too |
late to avoid it. Too often sufferers are
told by able physicians that IL they
had come in time they could have been
cured. If the state could provide for |
free examinations by medical men, the
probability is that many diseases would |
be detected in their incipiency.

IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY.


The Presidents message to Congress
closed with the assurance that the coun-
try is enjoying a high degree prosperl-
ity This was also set forth in the re-
port of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture, in the figures showing the yield
of the soil in the country. The total
value of agricultural products for the
year is said to reach the enormous
sum OF $3.50, 900. 900.
IT Is shown in the report that in the
last ten years the products of the
farms and open lands have almost
doubled in quantity and value. Eleven
years ago the Agricultural depart
ment reported total of s4.417.0O0,-
900 in its annual statement. In the in
tervening year 1t is estimated that the
surface OF this country has yielded an
equivalent of $4,000. 600. 900
Prosperity Is shown in the figures
presented. and there is no immediate
reason for fearing that 1t will not be
lasting. The only question that arises
IS, why does the cost of living rise with
the increase of the production of things
TO eat and wear? Various causes have
been suggested. 1t has been argued
that the population increases faster
than the production of the necessaries
of life. and It has been said that the
increase in the gold output has cheap
ened money. But whatever the cause
is. the fact remains. And the country
today Is threatened by railroad strike
that would be national calamity, be-
cause wage-earners are unable To make
both ends meet in spite of high wages
and an abundance of food. There Is
something wrong some where. when no
remedy can be found for such condI-
tIons.

GOOD IDEA.
New York World.

1t is hardly less important that the
mine operators should bear the small
cost of expert direction in accidents
than that the government should
maintain its elaborate marine life-sav-
ing service Along the sea coast and
the great lakes. In addition to the
warning lighthouses. we have a system
provided with costly boats. cables,
mortars, rockets. marine glasses and
horses, which saves many lives each
year. On stormy days and nights
guards patrol dangerous coasts. There
are stated salaries, and for exceptional
heroism there are medals.
To employ in every mining district a
few men who are especially fitted to
organize and drill in life saving corps
OF the more intelligent miners, as we'll
as to provide a suitable equipment
for them, would be small expense,
to which most operators could hardly
object.
