TALKS OF HEALTH

fare Can Be Bought AT A
Low Price

One OF the most interesting and
important papers presented before
the Fourth National Conservation
Congress, which met last week in In
ldlanapolis. was written. not by a
physician or sanitarian, but by a
business man. E. L. Rittenhouse. of
the Equitable Life Assurance Comp
any.
Mr.. Rittenhouse, in the opening
paragraphs of this address, recog-
nlzed the crucial point in thepresent
situation. He said: 'Ittakes money
to carry on agreat educational move
ment and it takes money to conduct
a public health service. The war
between preventable disease and
death is therefore struggle between
the dollar and the death-rate. ;"
These words should be placed be fore
every citizen, for instruction and as
a warming,
With our present-day knowledge
OF disease, good health is a commod
lty which can be bought. if our cities,
counties and states are willing to pay
the price. For ST. so per capita per
year, any community can practically
Danish those diseases which we now
have the means Of preventing and
can greatly reduce the number of
deaths from all causes. One dollar
and a half per year! Not quite half
cent day tosavelife from destruc-
ton by known causes!
Three cents week, twelve and
one-half cents a month, to: protect
each man, woman and child from
disease, which We know how to pre-
vent and which we know will exact a
toll Of many lives during the next
year and all succeeding years until
proper preventive methods are inaug-
Grated!
"A pitiably small sum, one thinks.
Yet how much are our most advanced
commcnwealths spending for this
purpose? Pennsylvania heads the
list with AZ cents per capita. per an
mum; Arkansas at the bottom, does
not spend a cent; New York spends
II cents; Massachusetts, AZ cents:
Indiana, lis cents; and so on. In
1911, fifty of the largest American
cities with total preyentable death
list of Ill., 24, spent an average of
80 cents per capita to prevent disease
and Sl.65 per capita to prevent fires.
According to The Journal of the
American Medical Association, if we
could have in every city as good a
sanitary service as we now have fire
protection. many lives that are Enow
needlessly sacrificed could be saved.
The people can have such protection
if they want it and if they will pay
for it. Safety from disease can be
obtained Just as we obtain safety
from fire and from thieves. Health
can be secured if society will foot
the bill.

ing and confidence increased. She
looked very well this morning. Since
Dominick's return she had looked
haggard and thin. Sometimes she had
seemed to see, showing shadowy
through her reflected face in the mir
ror, the lines and hollows OF that face
when time should have put a stamp on
It that neither massage nor pigments
would efface. A sudden moment OF
revelation showed her herself as an
old womGn, her nose pointed, her
mouth a thin, tight line. This morn.
/ ing the glass gave her back none of
these disappearing hints. She was at
her best. and as she dressed carefully
and slowly, she had the satisfaction OF
seeing that each added article OF ap.
parel increased her good looks. When
she finally put on her new hattie
she had bought in celebration Of
Dominick's return-and over II tied a
white and black dotted veil, she was
so gratifed with the picture she pre-.
sented that she was reluctant to leave
1t and pirouetted slowly before the
glass, surveying her back and side
views, and finally lifting her skirt that
she might see the full effect OF her
lilac petticoat as It burst into sight
In an ebullition OF pleats and frills.
Walking up the avenue she was
~bridlingly conscious that her brilliant
appearance drew Its tribute OF glances.
Many people looked at her, and their
sidelong admiration was an even more
exhilarating tonic than the sunshine.
She walked with a light. elastic step,
spreading perfume on the air, her
progress accompanied by a rich seduc-
tive rustic. Once or twice she passed
members OF that exclusive world from
which she had stolen Dominick. She
swept by them, languidly Indifferent,
her eyes looking with glacial hauteur
orer their heads. The sound made by
her brushing silk petticoats was graft
fyingly aggressive. She impaired to
them a slight disdainful swing, and
lifted her dress skirt daintily higher,
conscious Of the impeccable amplitude
Of her emerging lilac frills.
The habit of dining with her own
people on Sunday had been one she
had never abandoned, even in the first
aspiring days Of her marriage. 1t was
a sort Of family reunion and at first
Dominick had been a not unwilling
participant In It's domestic festivities.
The solid bourgeois responsibility OF
his wife's relations appealed to him.
For all his advantages in money and
education he was Of the same class

beloved spouse, a yet endurable one,
he had found the Sunday gatherings

Hot Weather Drink

Philip Hale, one OF Boston's latter
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as more sensible drink for hot
weather than "ice-cold" blends Of wa
tiers, sirups, acids, gulped at the mar
BILE fountains. Mr. Hale's recipe for
his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require a teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps OF
sugar and the thin rind and juice of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
it, cover with saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into Jug"
buttermilk fan adds:
Then set the jug in a cool place
and forget it,
