PrssIdsn. raft,s Message to Physicians

President Taft was rendered one of
the most extraordinry receptions and
banquets, as we'll as demonstration
of popularity last night, that has mark
ed his career as president of the Unit
ed States, and in being the guest of
honor of the Medical Club of Phila-
delphia received fitting tribute
for his humanitarian endeavors while
secretary of war and as chief execu-
tive
Thus is expressed the laymans view
that of the Philadelphia Public Led
ger-of the splendid testimonial ban
quet and reception rendered by the
physicians of Philadelphia, of Pennsyl-
vania, and of the whole countfy-for
the country as a whole was represent
ed--to the president of the United
States last week at Philadelphia The
officers and members of the Medical
Club of Philadelphia are to be con-
graduated on the well-planned and
dignitied testimonial to the president
of the United States in recognition of
his services to sanitary science and as
an appreciation of his aid in the ad-
vancement of public medicine.
No other president has been so
honored by the medical profession:
and no other president has so honored
the physicians of tine United States.
But it must be said also that no other
president has been brought into con
tact with physicians and their work
in so many ways-has had such a prae.
tical knowledge of what medical
science has done and is doing-for no
other president has had the opportuni-
ties for personal observation of the
results of scientific sanitation that
President Taft had in the Philippines,
in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the canal
zone and as secretary of war. His ad-
dress to the thousand physicians at
the recepuon-and to the medical pro.
fession Of the country, for he took
pains to emphasize the fact that he
had a message for the medical pro
fession of the United States-was a
gratifying appreciation of the econ
omic and humanitarian benefits that
have resulted from modern medicine.
1t was also an evidence that, for lay
man, the speaker had an unusually
wide knowledge of medical affairs and
grasp of medical science and what It
has accomplished.
As one listened, one could not help
believing that, if President Taft could
haye his way about it, public health
matters would be given greater recog-
milton by the national government than
they are now given, even to the ex-
tent of the creation Of a department

increasing use OF Fertilizers
In The United States

Soil foods seem to be rapidly gain
in in popularity or absolute require
ment. or perhaps both, among the agri-
culturists OF the United States. The
total value of imported fertilizers, in
Guiding materials largely though not
exclusively used for that purpose, ag-
gregated 40 million dollars in the cal
endar year 1910, against ten and one
half million in 1900 and five and one
half million in 1890. according to fg-
ures complied by the bureau of sta
tistics of the department of commerce
and labor; while other reports cover

various materials used in the manu-
facture Of artificial fertilizers, inereas-
ed, according to reports of the geo
logical survey. from six and one-half
million dollars in 1904 to ten and
three-fourths million dollars in 1909;
while the census office reports the
value of fertilizers manufactured in
1890 at thirty-nine million dollars, in
1900 at 45 million, and In 1905 at 81
million dollars, and ii the rate of in
crease just shown with regard to the
production Of phosphates, a basic ma
terial in the manufacture of fertilizers,
occurred also In the output OF manu-
factured fertilizers during the period
since 1905 the total production in 1910
was probably 70 million dollars. Mean
time the United States exported last
year fertilizers TO the value of 10 mill

consumption of soil foods by the farm
ers of the country about 100 million
dollars per annum, emitting consider

The increase in importation of the

from 3 million dollars in 1890 to 5 mill
