Health Is the essential factor in

So sayeth. and truly. two Of the
worlds greatest reformers and sani-
tarians-Sir Frederick Treves, and
Munsterberg.
Our wide-awake and progressive
cities are beginning to learn the les
sons that the insurance companies
are learning. and just as the insur-
ance men have realized that 1t is bet
ter to keep their policy holders alive
to pay the premiums, than it is to
let them die and have the companies
pay the death claims, so our cities,
governed upon modern sanitary
principles. are learning that to grow
In population and in Importance. that
1t is not only necessary to attract new
citizens. but that 1t is also necessary
to take care Of the health and lives
Of those they have"
Individual effort and cooperation
