A Boston physician is quoted as
saying that the peoples health is I'M
proving and the doctors are starving
He adds that IF the doctors keep on
declining In numbers as fast In the
next 25 years as they have In the
past rs there will not be many left"
The doctors. like the poor, will be al
ways with u.s." for do what we may
to promote health and to avoid dis
ease there are times necessarily when
the physicians services are required.
Probably If everybody took the trou-
BILE to keep his house in sanitary or
der and guarded himself against ILL
ness and maladies to the best of his
ability the most of the doctors soon
would be looking for different sort
OF a job. But the average man does
not do these things, says the Louis
Vile Courier-Journal The doctors
themselves preach prevention and the
campaign for better health never
ceases from one end of the country
to the other. but there are lots aud
lots Of people who do not get
interested The doctors, the boards
Of health and the sanitary engineers
are working constantly for better
health conditions and there is i'm
provement almost everywhere, but the
results achieved would be infinitely
greater and more beneficial and far
reaching II the general public could
be awakened to the Importance Of co
operating in the work.

MakIna cheese In oIden DAVIS.

Cheese was made by the old-time
farmers in the summer on the COOP
erative plan by which four cattle own
ers owning say IA mich cows, received
all the milk night and morning, &C.
cording to the daily yield of their
little herd. Thus given two families
having five cows each, one with three
and one with one, supposing that the
average yield per COW was the same,
in two weeks, two owners would make
five cheeses each; one would press
three, and one only one cheese, but
this one would be as good and as large
as any of the rest.-"Nobility of the
Trades-The Farmer" Charles Wins

An English hotel-keeper stigmatizes
Yankees" as excessively mean i be-
cause no matter how wealthy they
are, they want their moneys worth
every time. In other words. Amer
leans who do not submit to being
plucked, are mean in the eyes OF those
who are unwilling to give them their
moneys worth. Cheerfulness in add.
ton to willingness to be cheated is
rather a startling standard to set,
even for bold hotel pirates.

AEALTH AND MARRIAGE.

That persons afflicted with inner
liable mental or physical defects
should not marry is so evident that
il needs no argument 10 sustain It..
But this fact offers in itself little
aid in the solution of problem OF
vital importance TO the welfare Oh
the race. The question Of who are
freallv unfit to marry on account OF
lphysicsl or mental ailments : one
ITO which many persons are uhaDie
to give an intelligent answer
The remedy suggested at firs'
thought is a legal prohibition upon
the marriage of persons who might
transmit mental or physical defects.
IRut il has heen found that so far
as the reproduction of the untit IS
concerned, a prohibition Of TINS
kind is reflected in an increased
percentage of illegitimacy.
The fact remains. however, thal
statistics reveal the imposition OF a
terrlble burden upon society throush
the marriage of the defective. Sou'
dents OF the comparatively new SCI,
ence of eugenics have discovered
some appalling records; ana alter
considering the evidence bFoushe "
lgether one is impelled to the con
| clusion that the welfare OF the race
is endangered by the tendency OF
mental and physical defects to re
lproduce. .4uale =
lHow TO find a remedy is itself a
nroblem hard to solve. Probably d
