His feet were sore from long standing in one position. The pain in his legs was some thing like that you feel after you have done your first days blowing in the spring
 And the President was hungry-hungry as a bear. As he turned from the last departing guest he hurried wearily over to Mrs. Taft, who was chatting with some friends. Madam, for Heavens sake, can I get something to eat?''
 It was past ? o'clock. The luncheon hour had not only been delayed but the President had been working hard since II o'clock He was really hungry and his appeal to his wife was thoroughly human.

disappeared as deadly disease.
Yellow Fever has been conquered.
Asiatic Cholera has been successfully
resisted at our seaports. Other COM
municable diseases have decreased.
But diseases of the Heart, Kidneys,
Arteries, (Largely preventable or
postponable if detected in time) as
we'll as Cancer, ETC., of the non
communicable class, have increased
steadily-Cancer 1870 per cent; the

Isn't it worth while to make an

Is your water supply pure and
fully protected against contamina-
ton?
Is the sewerage system ample and
is it used by all residents; or are
part of them still helping to spread
disease by maintaining open or un-
protected vaults?
Has proper sanitary method been
adopted for disposing of garbage?
Are there dirty streets, alleys, or
back-yards?
Is the official milk inspection rigid
and efficient?
Are consumptives and those at
filiated with other communicable
diseases properly supervised in order
to prevent them from spreading their
misery to others?
inspected and protected from disease
carriers from the time of preparation
for the market until they reach the
consumer? =
If you have any of these DEATH
dealing agencies in your neighbour
hood or town, do not ignore them,-
they are swelling the daily sick and
death list in every community
where they are permitted to exist.
Don't you think:
That more attention should be
given to teaching disease prevention
in our public schools; -
That each State should protect the
public by supervising those afflicted
with tuberculosis? . :
That each State should provide
ample dispensaries and sanatoria to
care for the consumptive poor?
That each State should issue an
instructive manual on the subject of
sanitation, hygiene and general
disease prevention and distribute it
free?
That the local or State health de-
partments should give free medical
examinations to the poor who ask for
it, to detect and prevent disease and
its spread?
That each town should have "a
local health league, composed of
philosophical citizens, to stimulate
public interest and to give support
to wise health laws and to health
officials? ->.
Do you know of any easier or
cheaper way to serve humanity and
yourself than by lending your in
f1uence to promote the great nation

of human life?
