A HEALTH BUREAU
Senator Advocates Creation of
New Federal Department
Under Cabinet Officer
Purposes to Prevent Disease,
Lengthen Life and Cure
HOOkWOrm in South

WASHINGTON, March 24.-That
in this country on the altar of igno-
rance and neglect of sanitary laws was
asserted by Senator Owen in a speech
in the senate today in support of his
bill creating a department of health,
with cabinet officer at its head.
Owens address was based on the
theory that the various health agencies
of the government should be concen-
trated. He declared that with proper
attention to the prevention Of con-
tagion and to protection against the
use of polluted water and impure and
adulterated food. human life could be
greatly extended.
In addition to the 100000. cases of
fatal illness annually, Owen asserted
that an average of 100000 were con-
stantiy sick in this country with pre-
ventable diseases.
Owen said that he had been informed
by an expert that 80 per cent OF the
children OF one of the southern states
were afflicted with the hookworm.
II don't care who the expert is" re-
marked Money of Mississippi, II don't
believe a word of what ne says.
Owen having asserted hookwofm
could be cured by two doses of thymol
at cost of 25 cents. Senator Heyburn
suggested that there was Sl,ooo,ooo
now on tap" for the eradication OF
hookworms, and Gallinger remarked
that the contention that the period or
life could be materially heightened he
regarded as "a dream, pure and SIM
ple."

The only item in the bill which

clerical and otherwise, for the care OF
the building, including masseur ana
many other attendants of the BATH

Hearing on Wild Animals
Introduction of the hippopotamus
the rhinoceros, the camel, the eland, the
springbok, the trekbok, the dfkdik, the
koodoo, the giraffe and other AFRICAN
animals into America was suggested as
a solution of the problem of food sup
ply by speakers before the house COM
rnittee on agriculture today
Captain Fritz Duquesne. DR.. w. N
Erwin OF the bureau of plant industry
of the department of agriculture ano
Major Burnhan, who spent years In
Africa and accompanied former Presi-
dent Roosevelt on part of his travels
argued in favor of the Broussard bill
to import wild and domestic animals
into the United States.
Such animals, according to the bill
must prove either useful as food or as
beasts of burden. All the witnesses de-
clared many of the animals in Africa
could be raised in this country.
THE hippopotamus can be led and
fed on milk bottle" declared Captain
Duquesne, who formerly served with
the Boer army. THE zebra would in
three or four generations become Sc
tame that he would meander into your
bedroom. The zebra is very sturdy and
strong, as you would know If you had
ever been kicked by one"
Doctor Erwin said that America could
find place for the more than 100 spe.
cies of undomesticated animals in the
world; that the yak, hippopotamus, buff
falo, camel and other animals were ex-
cellent food and valuable in many
wayS

fourth year of work and is now paving a
total Of :1S pensions at a total of s466, 900

leges admitted to the advantages Of the

Canada, were admitted during the year
bears testimony To the care with which
applicants for admission are scrutinized
There are sixty-seven institutions on the

Your committee desires to call Your
attention to the effort being made to

committee has considered both. and has
concluded that they are not we'll founded,
