been conclusively demonstrated in
recent years in the various campaigns
for the suppression of epidemic dis
ease in this country. The common
schools now teach elementary
hygiene; the colleges supplement this
earlier instruction with more advanced
obligatory courses, and these labo-s
will carry us long way toward the
sanitary ideal. The reaping of this
harvest is an affair of the future: the
immediate and crying need is the en-
largement of the scope of the state
boards of health Many of these are
already doing work of high stand
ard Of excellence, but in some states
they are merely skeleton organiza-
tons with little power and small ap-
preparations for the task which con
fronts them. Next to highly trained
officials, the most important thing in
state health organization is an eff
ficient laboratory Laboratories cost
money. The guardianship of the pub
lie health is an obligation of such
great Importance that the personnel
of the sanitary department should be
the most highly competent men avail
able and they should be paid accord
ingly. There has been in the past a
policy of parsimony in this regard
in fact. in all health appropriation
matters which has seriously impeded
sanitary progress. This is most short
sighted. Every dollar spent on health
boards should be regarded as an in
vestment and not an expense, and be
Ii said to the credit Of these boards
that they are run with smaller vast
age of funds than any other institu
ton of the government.

POTATOES ARE LOWER.
Heavy Decline in Bag Prices of Both
Foreign and Domestic Product.

New York, Feb. 20 Heavy importa-
tions of foreign potatoes have weakened
the market, both here and in the West.
Imported potatoes are selling around
$40 per bag against $3.50 S2.S5 Il
week ago, State and Maine potatoes
are selling at $40 and $3.50 respective
w, decline OF twenty to thirty cents
per bag since Monday. The Chicago
market is also easier, western potatoes
being quoted at S3.05vsS325 per bag.
Arrivals of English potatoes at this
port during the past week were more
than 100000 bags, and dealers are anS-
ious TO move these goods before further
heavy shipments that are under way
begin to arrive, which further tends to
weaken the situation. Receipts of do
nestle potatoes continue small, only
10000 barrels arriving last week. Farm
ers are said to be holding back shipments
for higher prices. 1t is estimated that
only three-quarters OF the Maine crop
has been moved.
The early potato crop of southern
Florida is not dong wen, owing to the
heavy rains which have been reported for
the past week.
