Condition Is National Dis

Militia Urged.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20.-"There
Is more typhoid fever in this country
than in any other civilized land" said
Dr. I'll. j. Rosenau, of the Harvard Med
zeal school, Boston, Mass, in an adj
dress delivered in this city TO-DAY he
fore the third annual mse-ing If the
Association of Life In31rarce PraSi-
dents
The annual total is $4,000 deaths
and over 100000 cases. This is a ma
tional disgrace and is due entirely TO
lack Of education on the subject. We
probably know more about typhoid and
its methods of spread. and the means
for its control. than we do of any 9TH
er disease. Yet right here in our cap
ftal city there is an excessive amount
of typhoid, and this sad story finds
repetition in all our large cities. If
the public were taught TO fear typhoid
as it does a case Of cholera, there
would soon be and end of 1t.
Health Militia.
In ADVOCATING public health mill
tia in the cause of preventive medi-
cine, 1 do not mean a marching col
urrHn of men in uniforms. armed with
microscopes and disinfectants The
public health militia that I have in
mind calls for the enrolment of all
good citizens. Preventive medicine is
the watchword of the hour, and en-
listment in the cause can come only
through education.
There are two important factors in
public health work One is the gain
ing Of new knowledge through scien-
tific research; the other is the diffusion
OF this knowledge through education.
With prophetic foresight and char
acteristic' energy. Harvard university
has established q chair of preventive
medicine as an integral part of its ed
ucational system Not only the med
ical profession, but the public at large,

CHEAPER POWER AND GOOD
WATER ASSURED FOR Fl PAsO

That the Southwestern Portland Ce-
ment company had solved both the
water and' power problems in FL Paso
were the remarks of o. ]. Binford, en-
gineer in charge of the Southwestern
Portland Cement company, at the bust
ness mems -uncheon al the Angelus
Hotel today
Besides giving valuable information
on the scope of the plant, size of the
pay roll and attitude OF. the company
toward FL Paso. he brought out two
significant facts bearing on the de-
velopment of FL Paso. He said that he
believed that the company's power in
stalation would solve the problem that
has dIscoura ged manufacturing enter
prises in this city where it had been
thought that power could only be de-
veloped here at a prohibitive price.
Mr.. Binford said that the company's
experiments indicate that with new
methods and appliances it will produce
power cheaply enough TO be competi-
tive in any manufacturing field in the
country.
Solve Water Problem.
The other feature of his address
dealt with the FL Paso water supply.
He stated that muddy water is being
pumped from the river into a settling
tank that covers II acres. Twenty
feet away from the inlet the water is
as blue and transparent as mountain
lake.
Those who have visited the plant
since the pumps were started are con-
fident that this has solved the ques-
ton of FL Pasos water supply, as
water from this settling tank analyses
80 percent better than iEl Paso's city
water supply so far as mineral salts
are concerned.
This does not take into account or
ganic contamination. but this problem
has already been solved by many cities
and no longer offers difficulty.
Big Monthly Pay Roll.
Mr. Binford stated that the pay roll
of the cement company when it begins
operation on Feb. Is will be from
s12, 600 to $4,000 a month. I'll Paso
and FL Paso territory, he stated, con-
sumes 100000 barrels of cement in ~ !
months This means that from $1,000
900 TO 100000 have been sent east
for cement and will hereafter remain
in FL Paso.
In six years, this item alone, ne re-
marked, Will total as much as the en-
t4:e deposits of the FL Paso banks.
Mr. Dinford's remarks were oudly ap-
DlauIed.

the works on the Illinois shore, will
be we'll under way and the space of
10000 yards viii be occupied by this
immense rock crusher and concrete
plant. The estimated cost of the en-
tire plant is in the neighborhood of a
little over hundred thousand dollars
and the S tn people who are figuring
on the contract will establish the
best steel !. achinery works of its
kind in the country.
All of the machinery to be sent here
by the Smith Concrete company will
be entirely new and shipped directly
1 from Chicago and Milwaukee from
the steel plants at those places.
In the mixing depart tent alone,
one hundred or .rore men will be EN-.
