average amount, 100000 New York

with $4,000, and Wisconsin third
with $4,000. The department points
out that to the 1901 $50 should be

these bills were strangled in the com
mittees, and but two remained. These
two were the subject of bitter acri-

but congress finally adjourned without
doing anything. The fight was mere

sion.
The fight for a national health bu.
reau is part of the general conserva-
ton movement that is going on all
over the country. The National Con-
servation commission has taken note
of human life' as being one of the
resources OF the nation that is worth
saving. Originally this commission
was formed to conserve lands. waters,
mill sites. forests. minerals and wild
game, but 1t speedily came to the con-
clusion that human life was worth
more than all the rest Of our resources
put together.
