NATIONAL HEALTH BOARD.

q ENATOR Owen, of Oklahoma, has intro
~ duced into the Senate bill providing for
the creation of a national department Of public
health, and his measure is receiving considerable
attention. 1t may be said that it is another step
OF interference by the national government IN
the affairs of the state and interference that was
once severely frowned on by the Democrats.
But in these days the younger Democratic lead
ers seem quite anxious for federal activity.
They heed not the cry of the "old timers" those
who are set in their ways and think the party
should go back to the principles that obtained
before the civil war Mr.. Owen, It is needless TO
say, is younger man from the newest OF our
states a state in which there has been much So
called progressive legislation.
Those friendly to the bill point out that our
nation is the only one of importance in the world
which has no national organization for the pre-
venton Of disease. Our dependencies have
such federal regulation.
1t is held that city and state health boards
conflict matter how ably they may be conduct
ed, and it is to do away with this conflict that a
national organization is urged. But some of
the friends of the bill see far more in it than is
doubtless intended. They think ii viii lead 10
a national supervision OF medical education, so
that the states will have similar standards.
In foreign countries it is impossible for man
to practice medicine unless he has had a thorough
training a training much wider than is required
in most of our states. It would be some time
before the Owen bill, even should it be enacted
into law, could affect medical colleges.
But whatever the complaint against our medi-
cal colleges, it must be admitted that they have
made much progress towards a higher standard
of education There are also safeguards thrown
around the practice of medicine by the state
boards of examination. Some day we may have
national supervision of health. But is there not
danger that in all this discussion about health
we shall increase our crop of hypochondraos, a
condition which even a national board of health
would not be able to cope with unless perhaps
it had a Christian Science or an Emmanuel
movement branch

Editorial
Opinion
Hot Bread.

Hot Bread.
New York World.
Secretary Wilson says it is not the hot
bread that hurts. We are left to infer
that II is the careless way we eat II.
Taken from fresh loaf and compressed
into more or less solid masses before
swallowing, It would bring trouble But
in the form Of light biscuits or rolls, such
that every crumb may be masticated, the
objection loses force.
This is the FIRST kind word for hot
bread which has been issued in many
DAYS. Coming with the authority OF the
Department Of Agriculture, 1t may be re-
garded as the beginning Of an official
effort to overthrow a dietary notion OF
standing long and wide To break down
this superstituton and the counsel OF
more than one wise family doctor may
assume before a most paternal Secre-
tary the proportions Of rather gigantic
contract Yet there are encouraging
counts to be summoned Tor the argu-
ment.
For instance. we remember the bread
that mother used to make. II came from
the oven in generous loaves. 1t was
smoking hot. But we did not wait for it
to cool Much less did we pause for
that staleness of the second day after
baking which is precious to the health
faddists. We lost no time in biting, ar
ter a generous buttering, into the slices
of moist, soul-and- -body-satisfying sweet
ness. And nobody can tell us now that
this dear indulgence added ever TO the
sum of our childhood's ills.

It is announced that German scientist has
invented practical substitute for rubber. Such
a statement would be glad news but for the addi-
tonal report that the cost of manufacturing the
substitute is so high that it cannot enter into
active competition with the real article. Hopes
are held out however, that the cost of making
the substitute will be considerably lowered in
short time. The discovery of the substitute IS
of great value, however as the increasing de-
mand for rubber is exhausting the supply, and
the need OF a substitute, even though it be high
priced, is becoming imperative.
