Keeping Well.

We are very much interested in "How
to Keep Well" than we are How to
Get Well" Getting well is off the
same piece of goods as is locking the
barn door after the horse is stolen. The
wise man makes sure of his horse while
he is still in the barn.
1t is easy to keep well much easier
than it is to get well and very much
more pleasant. Getting well is a serious
business of doctors and nurses, with
their pills and their bills and even with
these, only one half of us pull through
to the half century mark, where the full
race, is posted at three score years and
ten, and in favorable cases to four score
years. And for this poor showing, no
fault of the doctors, we are paying to
the four thousand doctors in Iowa the
round sum of six millions of dollars,
for getting well, while for keeping we'll
we are paying the paltry sum of twelve
thousand dollars. Surely the horse de-
serves to be stolen.

Comparative Values.

We have in Iowa 7,545, 900 pigs, one
sixth of which is suffering from cholera
Immediately, an insistant demand goes
up for fifty thousand dollars to suppress
this disease for these pigs are worth
twelve millions of dollars.
In Iowa, we have 25S, 900 babies and
children under Ave years of age, one
fifth of all whom will be dead within
the coming five years. A prompt APP
plication of the knowledge we already
possess will save most Of these young
lives. They are worth many times the
value placed upon these pigs. A child,
well born, is estimated to have a value
of FIVE hundred dollars to the state-a
total of one hundred twenty nine mil
lions of dollars, one-fifth of which, or
more than twenty Eve millions of dol
lars will be lost-as against twelve mil
lions of dollars on pigs. Yet who will
stand sponsor for the babesi Where is
the statesman who will rise in his palce
and demand one hundred thousand dol
lars to save the useless loss of life a.
mong our people in Iowa.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1912-11-28

The desire to live is universal, YET
onehalf of all who are born, die before
the fiftieth year has been reached; one
third of those dying give up their lives
to diseases that are wholly preventable
in character and which, therefore
should be prevented.
One-ifth of the entire human family
runs the race from the cradle to the
grave in the brief span of five years,
and practically all these children die
from causes which have little right to
exist and which do exist only because
of lack of knowledge along sanitary
lines among the people.
Until recently, there was none to give
out this information; no-one to teach
the things necessary to be known, as it
has been held to be bad form for any
physician to address public audience
upon topics pertaining to health or to
write communication for newspaper
along health lines. But the spirit of
process has touched the medical profess
sion, as it has touched every line of
human endeavor, and the physician now
leads the van in the war that is waged
against disease anddeath. Already mark
ed progress has been made. Three CEN
turtles ago the average length of human
life was but twenty-five years. A
quarter of century ago it was forty
years and it has now heightened to
forty five years, while it may be reason
ably expected that another twenty five
year period will carry it at least to fifty
years. Professor Irving Fisher main
tains that a proper application of the
knowledge now possessed by the medi-
cal profession win increase the average
in the United States to sixty years.

lions of dollars. And results have been
so universally satisfactory that each
succeeding legislature has appropriated
similar amounts.
In his reports made August 1911, the
Commissioner of Health, DR.. Samuel
Dixon, of Harrisburg says;
During the past five years the death
rate from pulmonary tuberculosis has
dropped from 1896 TO 117.4 per hundred
thousand population, thus saving in the
state 1000 lives from this disease alone.
The death rate from dipththeria has
been reduced in such manner that
there are more than 5000 children now
living in Pennsylvania than would be
had the death rate previous to fiveyea
ago continued until now.
The death rate from typhoid fever
has fallen from 1914 to 24.5 per one
hundred thousand population. thus saw
ing the lives of 2,4O0 who would have
died under the old rate.
In 1905 the death rate from all causes
in Pennsylvania'was 16. s per- ], 900 popu-
lation. In 1910 it had fallen to. 1916.
This reduction for the 1855, 900 people
of the state means a saving of 10000
lives during tbs past three years. ="
And in addition to saving all these
lives much work of permanent character
has been done. tuberculosis sanitariums
have been built; dispensatories have
been established in every county; rivers
and streams have been freed from pol
luton; sanitary water supplies have
been provided in many cities and all
public health conditions have been vast
ly improved. Most of all, however, the
public is rapidly being taught the es-
sentials of sane and sensible mode of
life which within very brief period
will reduce the death rate to a mini
mum in the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania.
May we not hope that the coming
legislature of Iowa may rise to the great,
of this question and CORES,
reduce the death rate among
the people of our state?
