face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring. did not think any
thing of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until / could not stand the suffering.
Then I began to use different soap.

hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. l went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. lost many nights sleep in con-
tinual scratching. sometimes scratch

it." (SignedD G.. ii. mcfarland, 221

The fight for a national health bu'
reau is a part of the general conserVa-
ton movement that is going on all
over the country. The National Con-

of human life" as being one OF the
resources of the nation that is worth
saving. Originally this commission
was formed to conserve lands. waters.
mill sites, forests. minerals and Wild
game. but IT speedily came TO the con-
clusion that human life was worth
mere than all the rest of our resources
put together.
We need men," said the conserva'

these mines and cut down these for

human life. stamp out disease and give
the doomed babies a chance. Let US
