tion of our national resources, but we
neglect or do very little for the con-
servation of man, which is far more
important. In prosecuting the work
for the conservation of man the med
ical profession take the lead, but
their efforts were not we'll under
stood and little appreciated by the
general public. This work consisted
in improving the sanitary conditions
OF the community, enforcing public
health regulations, the studying of
diseases with view of preventing
them rather than of curing them af-
ter being contracted. In studying di-
seases the physician often takes his
life in his own hands, and the doctor
cited the cases of two medical men
who went south to study the disease
of yellow fever, one of whom met
immediate death and the other suf-
fered permanent impairment of health

These men were heroes as much as
any who shed their blood on the bat
tie field. They gave their lives for
the sake of humanity, and because
they did the nature of the disease and
it's prevention was made known to
the world. Yet when an attempt was
made to get congress to appropriate
small sum for the relief of the fami-
ly of one of these men, it fatty re-
fused. This was base ingratitude.
The people generally do not under
stand why physicians should work for
improved sanitary conditions, as it
seems to be contrary to their busi-
ness interests. They do not consider
that the physician needs to look after
his own health as WELL He himself
was tempted to go to Texas to prac-
tice his profession, and actually went
there, but when he realizen the peril
to which the physicians there had to
expose their lives, he resolved to To-
cate in the Red River Valley of Min
nesota with it's far healthier and more
invigorating climate. The doctor also
gave figures showing how niggardly
our state legislature has been in sup
porting the department of public
health. We are spending more money
| in looking after the health of cattle.
! Medical inspection of school children
was an important point touched upon
by the doctor. Space this week does
not permit mention of the many good
! things contained in the doctors ad-
dress. To him and to the other doc
tors of the city, the people in this
city are greatly indebted for excel
lent sanitary conditions which pre-
vail here and which have made War.
rem the healthiest town in the state.
