WHICH SHALL IT BE: DOLLARS
OR DEATHs7

Cities having increasing appropri-
ations for health work show a de-
creasiRg death rate. OF these New
York is a good example. as a large
city, having a great density Of popu-
lation and at the same time a large
foreign eelment. Here with an appro-
priation for health service nearly
three times as great as Chicago's
there has been effected a steady re-
duction Of the death rate. The COM
parison is shown by the following
table:
New York City-Cecreasing Death
Rates. 1908. 1868: 1909. 100; 1900.
lI5.9.
Chicago-Increasing Death Rates.
1908. 40: 1909. l4.6: 1910, 1872.
New YOrk's deaths have decreased
9 per cent 10000 OF population in two
years: Chicago's deaths have increas.
ed 10 per 10000 of population in two
years. Chicago's appropriation for
health conservation decreased IS per
cent during this period.
The preventable diseases killed
about $1,000 Chicagoans during 1910,
these being nearly one-half OF the
total deaths from all causes. Pneu-
monia AID all other causes with 567s
deaths, tuberculosis comes second in
order OF highest mortality with 1912
deaths. while diarrheal diseases hold
third position. having claimed 1884 lit
tie children under two years OF age
as victims during the twelve months.
Other preventable diseases killed as
follows :Diphtheria. $40: scarlet fever.
367; typhoid fever, 3O2: measles. I76.
and whOoping cough. Us. Six thou
sand. eight hundred and three chill
dren under one year OF age and 1863
between the ages OF one and five years
died during the year. About % per
cent Of these deaths were unneces-
sary; they were caused by the pre-
ven;able diseases. the chief OF which
were the diarrheal diseases.
Chicago now has a tweaty-One ceat
per capita Health Department. Some
OF this money is spent for things not
closely connected with health: some
part Of IL is relief. A twenty-One cent
Health Department for Chicago can
hold the gross death rate under IG
per 1000 for a few years. Ii can hold
the number Of deaths from diphtheria
at about 500; from scarlet fever at
about COO: typhoid at about 300 and
baby deaths from summer complaint
at about 5000. 1t can keep smallpox
epidemics about twelve years apart
and paralyzing epidemics of diphtheria
or scarlet fever about four or six
years apart
A Health Department spending
fifty cents per capita should put diph-
iberia down to say, 100 deaths per
year; scarlet fever to about 500: typ
hold to 100: and cut OF per cent
from the consumption mortality. II
should be able to add 10 years to the
smallpox intervals, and or 4 years
to the diphtheria and scarlet fever
intervals.
The final conclusion is that we can
have freedom from preventable dis.
eases in proportion as we are willing
to pay for It, We cannot have some,
thing for nothing. A twenty-One cent
Health Department means about 49,.
900 deaths from preventable disease
year. II we pay more. We will have
fewer. II We pay less We will have
more.

CAN'T USE MAIDSTONE.
But 1t Is No Crime to Own One. says
Attorney General.

The secretary of the state board Of
health, aided and abetted by the at
torney general. has ruled that the use
of a maidstone in Kansas to cure the
bite of rabid dog is against the law.
It violates that statute that prohibits
the irregular practice of medicine and
surgery. In Winfield some days ago a
dog went mad and bit several people.
some of the persons who were bitten
went to Hutchinson to have mad
stone there applied to the wound.
Local health authorities notified the
state board of health and an order
was issued from that department for
bidding the use of a maidstone in cases
of mad dog bite. The idea is that
much precious time is lost in the mad
stone treatment which is a myth and
a delusion so far as any good is con-
cerned. The patient should be taken
At once to some state hospital where
the Pasteur treatment can be given in
time to do some good.

Missouri Valley
! Wins From Adel

The splendid debate at the
Harrison theatre last night be-
tween Mo. Valley and Abel
merited a much larger audi
ence. The theatre was warm
and the small audience that
was present made up in en-
thu siasm what the numbers
lacked. The High School Or
chestra of nine pieces played
several selections that were
highly appreciated by the audi.
ence and deba ers. The stage
was very artistically decorated
with pennants from all colleges
LOT which the M. v. H. S, was
the most conspicuous. The ar
gument put forth by the Mo.
Valley debaters was superior in
every detail over the Abel
team but the rebcttals by the
Abel team were exceptionally
fine. Miss Jenkins was the
strongest of the Abel team.
Chairman j. S. McGavren in
troducel William WEIGH as first
one on the negative side and he
gave some very strong argu-
ments against "That a gradual
ed income tax, with an exemp-
ton of incomes below $5OOO.OO
per annum, would be a desira-
BILE modification of our system
OF federal taxation"
Herman Hoyer was the Sec
ond speaker ION the negative
side and after hearing him the
audience decided that it would
not be a good thing for the
United States. After Jul us
Muller had put on the finishing
touches to the argument it was
evident that even the judges
were convinced. The main
points of the Mo. Valley. team,
is their splendid delivery
and the good clear voice in
which they gave their argu-
ments.
