HOUSE PASSES THE MANN BILL
Health and Marine Hospital Board
Changed 90 Public Health Service
with Funetf0ns Extended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The house to-
day passed the Mann bin extending the
scope Of the Public Health and Marine
Hospital board and changing its name TO
the public health service.
The bill has been confused with the
bin for creating a department of health
and to which strenuous objections were
raised by Christian Scientists and others
opposed to the regular school Of medi-
cine.
Mr.. Mann said a hearing had been
granted TO those interested and the objec-
tons they made to the health department
bin did not apply in any way to the meas
ure under consideration
There is nothing in the bill which relates
to the practice OF medicine OF the art OF
healing, or which restricts public health
service authority to study and investigate
the diseases OF man and the conditions
Influencing the propagation and spread OF
diseases.
The Mann bill also empowers the public
health service 70 investigate the pollution
OF navigable lakes and streams. Mr.. Mann's
statement that II the pollution OF streams
should continue In this country the people
would be forced to drink wine instead OF
water, brought out the lOudest applause
heard in the house this session.

making textiles and the development Of
methods in manufacture Miss Sly made her
talk pertinent by declaring:
Women are the greatest purchasers IN
the textile market. And yet how many Of
them know the honest from the adulrer-
Rted goOds7'
She suggested that they give the subject
their study and that they give their study
practical expression I'm their selection OF
goods fer garments and house furnishings
She advised that they do not buy cheap
material unless they wanted cheap stuff;
that is not expect expensive quality un-
less they were really to pay for it. She
cited the expense Of manufacture. She
said: Manufactures win not produce
cheap articles unless there is a demand for
them. II the adulterated goods find no
market they will not be manufactured. In
deed, the women can do lor fabrics what
they have done In the matter of pure
food"
This food reminder followed well the
topic which was the chief discussion OF
