influences. The first is education. In
this We are using a distinctly American
method In Europe they educate the
government first and the public after
ward We are educating our children
in the schools and the students Of SAINT
taton and health measures to-day will

The second influence is being exer-
cised by certain public spirited organiza-
ions carrying out work along special
lines. Such influences are the antf-tuber-
cuiosis and red plague movements and
the chtldren's welfare work, and various
phlla lanthropic institutions. such as the
Rockefeller hookworm commission and
the Russell Sage Foundation.
But all influences for the improve

the same line-the Improvement of en-

Public Health Official Explains Fundamental

DR.. W. c. Rucker. assistant surgeon
general Of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service, that
section Of our government which is giver
general oversight over the health Of its
$4,000 people. thus briefly answered
the question, What are the fundamental
causes Jf i'll health?'' put TO him by q
representative of The Washington Herald.
DR.. Rucker then started from the be-
ginning of the question Of public health
and traced the line OF endeayor which
has been followed out by his department,
and the line OF reasoning which has been
developed.
You can take one-acre field and place
in it q given number Of any species, and
the animals will live" continued Dr.
Rucker; but II you put one more than
the specified number in that field. these
animals will die from the products Of
their own bodies. This disease, then. is
environment Most dissases-practically
all diseases-ln fact, is environmentaL
Now, then, suppose you surround these
animals with artificial prOtections-sewer
systems, means Of killing parasites. a
good water supply, &c.-the entire aspect
We can crowd these animals
indefinitely as long as We provide these
artificial projections.
These protectiOns-they are called san
itary measures-are safeguards against
promlscUity. PromisCuity is that which
makes possible environmental diseases
Look back at the plaques OF Europe in
the Middle Ages. Promiscuity was the
rule Of the Middle Ages. and promiscuity
permitted the Interchange Of parasites.
Because the table fork does so much
to curb this pTOmiscuity, It is classed as
the second greatest sanitary instrument
Of the world. The shovel, ordered by
Moses, himself a great sanitarian, is the
greatest of these instruments.
