HEALTH
By Associated Press.

Washington, Jan 20.-The life in
/ surance companies of the United
\ States have vast mine of original
| information that could be utilized to
/ promote public health, and they have
also an army of 100000 trained men
to make effective and widespread use
of this information, according to DR..
| Edwin w. Dwight of Boston Mass,
who today delivered an address be-
! fore the third annual meeting of the
, Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents, now in session in this city.
For more than sixty years the life
insurance companies of this country
have been storing up ammunition and
developing an organization which, if
properly used, would be almost suf-
ficient in itself to turn the tide in the
battle for public health in favor of
the forces of scientific effort" he
said.
After stating that the 40 companies
doilg business in the United States
who are represented in the Associa-
ton of Life Insurance Medical Direc-
tors have 10000 medical examiners
and 10000 agents situated in every
nook and corner of the country. Or.
Dwight continued:
THE only line OF medical endeayor
with which l am familiar. where
errors may be correctly checked up;
where mistakes of diagnosis are prov
ed without the assistance of the rare
ly permitted autopsy: where treat
ment in the future may be definitely
based upon the results of the past, is
that found in the medical department
of life insurance companies For
over a year a committee of the Me6i-
cal Directors Association has been
developing plans for a collective in
vestigation of the experience of all
American life insurance companies.
Last fall we were joined by a COM
mittee of the Actuarial Society, and
in October we were so fortunate as to
be able to report that all Of the COM
panies connected with our two asso-
Citations had agreed to join in an in
vestigation, which, In extent and i'm
portance, has. believe. never been
equalled In the past and which, be-
lieve. Will never cease in the future.
IF this material Is so arranged
and tabulated as to answer only those
question: which are of immediate
Importance to life insurance. the COM
panies will gain much a value great
ly beyond the costs, but not nearly
all that they should. while the public
will gain nothing If, however.
broader policy is pursued, policy
which will add nothing or little to the
expense but greatly to its possibilities,
a mass of material will become avail
able. which. If properly handled. will
serve to settle once-and perhaps for
all time-many of the most vexatious
problems which are now disturbing

Washington, Jan. 2O.-"There is
more typhoid fever In this country
than In any other civilized land" said
DIR. Fl. J. Rosenau of the Harvard
Medical School. Moston. Mass. In an
address delivered in this city today
before the third annual meeting of
| the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents. The annual total is 35,-
900 deaths and over $4,000 cases.
This is a national 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 other disease. Yet
| right here in our capital 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 1t does a
case of cholera there would soon be
| an end of 1t.
In advocating a public health
| militia in the cause of preventive
medicine, | do not mean n marching
column of men In uniforms armed
with microscopes and disinfectants.
The public health militia that l have
| in mind calls for the enrolment of
all good citizens. Preventive medi-
cine is the watchword of the hour and
enlistment in the cause can come only
through education.
There are two important factors
| in public health work. One Is the
gaining of new knowledge through
scientific research; the other is the
diffusion of knowledge through edu-
cation. With prophetic foresight and
characteristic energy, Harvard uni
yersity has established Chair OF
| Preventive Medicine as an integral
part of its educational system. Not
only the medical profession, but the
| public at large should be enlightened
The scientific and professional corps
4 may be the regular army, but the
public must be the reserve militia In
any effective warfare against disease
When the people understand that
typhoid fever is as preventable as are
railroad accidents we shall have a
casus belli. and the courage needed
for victorious campaign. The gov.
ernment now protects us from chol-
era. leprosy, yellow fever and other
exotic plaques; why should ii not
also guard us against the dangers
that are present as well as those that
are but remotely imminent? Present
dangers such as tuberculosis, pneu.
monia. typhoid fever and infantile
diarrhoeas, are infections which rear
the highest toll of death among us
and are foemen worthy of our best
efforts.
When this matter is better under
stood. the state will be required to
protect its citizens against such pre-
ventable diseases and the officials ap-
pointed to safeguard us will be held
responsible just as the Law now holds
employers liable for preventable ac-
; cidents. Organizations like life in
surance companies with their legions

BEER CHECK IN COLLECTION
Especial to The Sentinel. ]


Steamboat Springs. Colo. Jan. 20.
When the Rev. Inman Of the Meth
odist church counted the usual con-
tributions on Sunday he discovered
in the collection beer check that
proved to be OF more value than the
donor had expected. The check bore
the imprint: an. & NJ, good for one
drink"
Jim Norvell, the cowboy preacher
of Routt county, Is the man who Is
willing to call in these checks at IS
apiece. Norvell is wealthy stock
man, and exhorts for the good he can
do among those with whom he asso-
ciated for 30 many years. He was
noted for many years as the cowboy
telephone. for the reason that his
voice could be heard for miles when
he was coming into or going out of
| town.
Norvell rode the range and finally
branched out into the saloon busi-
ness, eventually owning three places
in the country. With him was an
aggressive partner. o. w. McCaslin,
who gave up the business and went
to southern California.
Norvell finally experienced n
change of heart, sold out and entered
the ministry. But the beer checks,
which were good for either whisky OF
beer at 20 cents a glass. failed to
come In. Every once in while those
checks would bob up. Norvell didn' t
like 1t, so he offered IS for every one
outstanding.
They came in pretty fast. and final
ly ceased, yet Norvell held out the
same tempting offer. Norvell thinks
there are five still out, but who has
1 them is a mystery.

SURPRISED THE MAYOR.
Came to Fire Company's Quarters to
 Resign and Received Gift.

Mayor Archibald Macdonald was certainly less surprised when he was elected to head the present city gov ernment and just as certainly no more pleased than he was Thursday eve- ming when he made a customary visit to the headquarters of the fire depart nent. and found the members of the General Putnam hook and ladder com pany, of which he has been foreman for twenty years. assembled and wait ing to present a gift about which he had not received the slightest inkling of information. It was one of those rare occasions when surprise really surprises and the mayor was, to say the least taken aback.
 The members of the company, from which leadership they knew he was going to resign at last nights meet ing, kept the move they contemplate under their hats until the proper mo- ment, but when they brought forth an exceptionally fine crayon portrait of the mayor and presented it with their compliments the tableau they had been planning for was exceedingly effective. The mayor recovered promptly. but he showed how he felt about it for minute. Assistant Fore man Martin Welch made the presenta- ton speech. The company had invited in Chief Engineer M. R. Joy and for mer Chief Engineer w. IT. Mansfield department, and Mayor Macdonald re- ceived a shower of congratulations from all.
 The presentation was followed by supper and smoke talk in the social room and there were many speeches and many pretty things said about the mayor and retiring foreman. It was something of a love feast, for the mayor is a big favorite in the depart ment.
 The portrait of the mayor is a fine piece of work and one of the best likenesses ever made of him. It is frs med in mission style quartered oak and all the firemen can guess that it will have a prominent place in the Macdonald home.
 The feeling of the members of the department toward the mayor is fully reciprocated.

All for One.

"Once upon a time there lived good man who was soliciting contributions for the erection of an orphan asylum. '' said the story teller "He had been to many rich people and received liberal contributions, which were entered in a book he had for that purpose. Among these many names there appeared Mrs. Rupert Smythe.' The good man went to MT. Smythes office and. show ing him the contribution entered by Mrs. Smythe, asked if he would not give a like sum. And what do you suppose he did 9?
 @We1l, I suppose he doubled it." re- marked the listener.
 Doubled it. Not Rupert, exclaim- ed the teller of the story. Why, he simply took his pen and wrote, MT. and before his wife's name and hand ed the book back
