their salaries and of others to
report with sufficient clearness. Of
the grand total of denominations in
continental United States the report
states that Is have no regular
ministry and SO either pay no
stated salaryies or made returns
which We're not sufficiently complete
to warrant tabulation.
OF the 20l,351 organizations COM
posing the 102 remaining denomi-
nations there were 164, 229 or S1.6
per cent, which made returns to
the census inquiry, and the report
states there is reason to believe that
these are substantially complete
and accurate. and it is thought
that they embrace a sufficient
number of organizations of the
respective denominations, to be
fairly rcpres enttive of conditions
to the average salries paid to
ministers. The figures in the table
are for continental United States,

And the lilies we twined for the

And in silence beneath.
Slumber our heroes today.

And the fierce old fight
Slips out of sight
In the clasp of a brothers. hand.
For the old blood left a stain
That the new has washed away,
And the sons of those
That havefaced the foes
Are marching together today.
Oh, the blood that our fathers gave!
Oh, the tide of our mothers
tears!
And the flow of red,
And the tears they shed,
Embittered a sea of years.
But the roses we plucked for the

And the lilies we twined for the

We have bound in a wreath,
And in glory beneath,
Slumber our heroes today!

Department OF
PUBLIC HEALTH

Congress always approaches the
creation of new department of the
government with cautious delibera-
ton. 1t is prejudiced against such
projects largely in the belief that
they tend to increase the payrolls
and because scattered appropria-
tions for bureaus in different de-
partmeuts do not bulk so largely
before the public eye as when COM
bined. Consequently the American
Medical Association and the other
advocates of the Owen bill which
creates the Department of Public
Health are not finding its path as
smooth as they would like. Yet, as
the necessity for such a department
is obvious and the demand is prac-
tically unanimous, there is little
question hat eventually this or a
similar bill will pass. 1t is claimed
that 900, 600 people die each year
and 5000, 900 are sick from pre-
ventable diseases. 1t would appear
that the conservation of their health
and lives is as important as that of
an equal number of farm animals.
Without infringing upon the
duties and functions of the states
health departments, it is recognized
that there r many matters re
quiring handling on a large and ex-
tended scale and often involving
states rights, jurisdictions and
responsibilities that require federal
supervision. Those bureaus now
engaged in such work are &C
complishing much within their
limitations, but it is often a delicate
task to determine their scope and
powers, especially when their
functions clash or their work over
laps, as is often the case. One of
the anomalies presented is the
charging of the enforcement of the
pure food law upon the Secretary
of Agriculture, whose department
has otherwise nothing to do with
the questions involved. Congress
did this because of the fact thst the
department of agriculture was the
only one which had a bureau of
chemistry equipped for the purpose.
Otherwise the work would have
been intrusted to the department
of commerce and labor, the depart
ment Of the interior, or the treasury
department, any of which would be
more suitable. On this point the
brief of the American Medical
Association says: Individually
the present bureaus and other
sanitary and medical agencies per-
form their ordinary functions
satisfactorily, but with such lack
of cooperation as to greatly maj
results, while in the emergency OF
epidemics or in dealing with vas
interests where the strain of com
mercial pressure falls upon them
they almost uniformly fail or ar,
greatly crippled in their sanitar!
functions. This is the history o,
even so strong a movement as tina
of the enforcement of the pur,
food and drugs act"
