THE CITY HEALTH OFFICER


A large majority Of the people OF
wheeling will learn with surprise. not
10 say amazement. that a move is on
foot TO prevent the reelection as
health officer OF DR.. William Hay
McLain. II is not too much to say
that DIR. McLain has made the health
department OF the city of Wheeling.
In his hands II has become an effect.
I've instrument for the maintenance
OF healthful conditions. Every citizen
OF Wheeling can testify that sanitary
regulations are more vigorously en-
forced than ever before, that greater
precautions have been taken against
the spread OF infectious diseases. and
that the reporting, placarding and
quarantining against disease have
been more thorough and effective. The
health department has taken an In
telligent and active interest in every
movement looking towards the i'm
provement OF conditions.
The citizens OF Wheeling today en-.
JOY a milk supply which is practic-
ally guaranteed as to its purity. When
DR.. McLain began his activities in re
gard to milk there was no regulation
OF any kind whatever Watered and
diseased milk was sold without re.
striction. There was even no central
authority TO which a suspicious milk
buyer could take a diluted purchase
and ascertain how badly he had been
done up. The milk ordinance with
its various amendments has corrected
all this. Through hundreds OF per
sonal visits TO diaries, Dr.. McI.ain has
succeeded in creating a sentiment
among dairymen themselves favorable
to pure and good milk. and has sue
ceeded in assuring to all citizens OF
Wheeling clean. rich and pure milk,
II they themselves cooperate in the
slightest degree. How much this
means in the reduction Of infant NOR
tality; how much it has meant in the
health and well-being OF this commun-
ity. no one can ever tell. but certainly
II has meant a great deal.
DR.. McLain is a young. highly In
telligent and n thoroughly scientific
physician. He has given 10 the work
OF the city health department years
which he might have spent in improy-
ing his own personal fortune. The city
OF Wheeling has been peculiarly for.
tunate In securing the service OF such
a man.
Without reflection upon his oppon-
ent or upon any one who may aspire
20 this office. the Intelligencer makes
the assertion that the large majority
Of people OF Wheeling believe that DR..
McLaln should be reelected and
should continue 70 be reelected. so
long as he desires reelection and
renders service Of the kind which he
has rendered during the past four
years.

A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.

The agricultural experiment station

statements relative to emergency
crops. Director Stewart estimates that
at least half OF the hay crop has been
destroyed by drouth. The rainfall

1.79 inches. which is little less than
one half the average rainfall for the
past ten years. This has been espe-
