RURAL Hygiene TO
BE TAKEN UP
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE TO
INACCURATE INSTRUCTION.
Annual Loss in America From Tuber-
culosis Is Three Fourths Value of
Entire Wheat Crop.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Ore, Nov 90
"Thc farmer ordinarily gives fa
more attention to the health Of hi
stock than to that Of himself ant
family" said Prof. T. D. Becllwith
of the bacteriology department Of
the Oregon Agricultural College
in speaking Of the course on rural
hygiene, to be inaugurated this win
ter during the short course.
"The point that the health Of the
people may be reckoned in dollars
and cents to the community escapes
the average citizen in his mad
scramble for more evident wealth, +"
he continued. "For example, it is
counted that the annual loss to the
United States through human tuber-
culosis amounts to $600,000,000,
which is approximately three-fourths
the value Of the entire wheat crop of
Ine country.
Due to Ignorance.
"This immense annual loss, about
rs per cent of whichh is preventable,
is due solely to carelessness, and ig-
norance of the most rudimentary
rules Of life and health. OF vastly
greater Importance than the money
loss is the pain and suffering, most |
of which can be prevented by lit
tie care and knowledge" "
The short course lectures, which
will be illustrated with stereopticon
views, will cover such subjects as
water supply Especially from wells),
their location and construction as to
health; sanitary methods of sewage
disposal, the use and abuse of septic
tanks; transmission of disease, such
rs tuberculosis and typhoid; flies and
germ carrying; cause of colds and
grip, and other epidemics.

suit of the recent convention of Or

to retain much of anything On my

PEELED to give up my occupation.
Il took quantities of medicine, and
had an idea l was dieting, but l con-
tinued to suffer, and soon lost Is
pounds in weight. l was depressed
in spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af-

come interested in even the lightest

After suffering for months l de-
cided to go to stomach specialist.

To stow away the contents of the Pa

The Atlantic averages a depth of
