Keep Nation Healthy.

Taking as his topic, Temperance
of the Ghost of Malthus," Dr.. w. T.
Sedgwick, professor of biology and
public health in the Massachusetts
school OF technology, pleaded for food
and fuel conservation in America as a
means to keeping the nation healthy.
IF America would avoid famine in
the future as she has in the past" de-
clared Dr.. Sedgwick," she must begin
at once scientifically and systematical-

supply. Less than ten years ago the
late Edward Atkinson one of the most
eminent economists of the time, and
an inveterate optomst, assured me
that AIalthusianism was now really
dead, and even the ghost of Nautilus
forever banished Cheap fuel and

Cuba First in Line.

when we contemplate the evolution
of public health service in various
countries of the world it seems clearly
in the line of natural development that
the administration of the public health
affairs of this country should be dele
gated to an Independent department.
presided over by a cabinet officer Cuba
is the only country in our association
which embraces the United States, Ca
NADIA and Mexico besides, which has a
national department of health, and a
minister of public health with seat
in the cabinet But it does not seem
difficult to foresee that it can only be
a question of very short time when
we also shall have a national depart
ment of similar character. No service
can have more justification for its ey-
istence than such a one which estab
fishes a means for improving the physi-
Cal and mental health of the people

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept 8
Prophecy that it is only a question Of
very short time until the United
States government establishes de-
partment of health, the head of which
will be member of the presidents
cabinet, was made here today by Ru-
dolph Herring, president of the Ameri-
can Public Health association which
opened the sessions of it's forty-first
annual convention this morning. Dele
gates from the United States, Canada,
Mexico and Cuba were in attendance.
Traced the Development.
DR.. Herring briefly traced the devel-
opment of the public health movement
from the time of the Egyptians down to
the present day. 1.-THE development"
he said, "has been a gradual process of
expansion from the day when medi-
cine and public health were limited to
a selected group, to the present time,
when not only physicians but bacter-
biologists, chemists, engineers and in
terested laymen are all united in the
battle. for better health conditions. The
engineer is rapidly coming to be recog-
nized as the man to whom is designat-
I'd the task of applying the discoveries
made by the medical and allied profess
sions. He is, in other words, an ap- |
)lied scientist, able to furnish necessi-
les, comforts and better health to our
people to an extent which former gen
.rations never dreamed Of

County Preachers
Have Convention

In the monthly meeting of the
preachers of Imperial county at the
Methodist church yesterday afternoon
the principal proposition to come he
fore them was the petition to place
the project OF dry state on the ref
erendum ballot. Rev. r. L. Glasby of
Calexico acted as chairman and ap-
pointed a committee to further the
work of securing signatures to the
petition.
The committee appointed consists
of Rev. A. l.. Kinter, Rev. A. l.. Bak-
er and Rev. w. G. Conley of Ell Gen.
tro; Rev. A.. c. Wright of Calexico
and Rev. j. w. Miller of Brawley.
These gentlemen are ready to do all
in their power to further the cause
of statewide prohibition, but it was
the sense of the injecting that money
subscribed for the campaign should
be spent in the county fight.
Rev. A. c. Wright, who for a num-
Der of years was missionary to the
Chinese, addressed the ministers

(By United Press Associations
Londan, Dec. 9-Mrs. Pankhurst
started for Paris today to visit her
daughter, Christabel, who is exiled
there on account of militancy here.
The length of the visit is not stated
but the general impression is that it
will be indefinite. The authorities
made no attempts to prevent her de-
parture. 1t is unofficially stated that
they would be pleased if she remained
away. She was so weak from her
hunger strike in Exeter Jail that she
was taken to the station in an ambu-
lance. She travelled on the same
train as the Queen of Spain, returning
to Madrid after a visit with the
English royal family.

PROCEEDINGS ASKED AGAINST
BUTTER AND EGG BOARD

Chicago, Dec. 9-The dissolution of
the Chicago Butter and Egg Board and
the Elgin Butter and Egg Board as
in restraint of trade was
asked today by Master in Chancery
A. B. Morrison, who filed report in
Federal Judge Kohlsa's court. The
court will hear arguments on the ap
plication. The report said careful in

tions are working in union, arbitrarily

prices in central and western states.
1t also alleged the concern forced
wholesale prices down during periods
of plenty and that while these per-

quotations. Then, Morrison said, the
prices were boosted.

Some of the other bills now before
the senate, however, go much fur
ther in the rigid control they would

fiscal agents who financed it, whether
its prices were unreasonable Sr it's

gal; and authority to keep out of in
terstate business any corporations
whose methods it did not approve.
Other bills, including those by SEN
ators LaFollette, Williams, Cummins,
Clapp and others would impose rigid
laws defining illegal acts, specific re-
straint of trade, price cutting meth
DDS to stifle competition or forms of
over capitalization and would impose
drastic penalties for the infraction of
these laws.

this number. Four persons at Hung
reford and like number near Well
born have been drowned, according to
latest dispatches.
The crest of the Brazos river flood
is nearing Brazoria county, which
borders on the gulf, and the crest Of
the Colorado river flood is approach
ing Matagorda county, also on the
gulf. The director of the weather
bureau here said he did not expect the
Brazos floods to pass into the gulf be-
fore Wednesday.
Reports from Wellborn that twelve
negroes and Mexican had met death
on the Allen plantation at the juno
tion of the Navasota and Brazos riv-
ers and that twenty-five negroes had
been drowned on the Parker planta-
tion nearby have not been confirmed.
Reports brought by motorboats
from the flooded Brazos valley show
that between 700 and 1000 persons
are marooned in gin houses and plan
tation residences, safe from the flood
but in urgent need of food and cloth
ing.
A rapid fall in temperature and
a cutting wind have increased the
suffering, especially in the tent col
onies along the river banks. How
many negro tenants in the flooded
section were drowned is still un-
known.
The flood stretches over the val
ley for six miles, the water dotted
here and there by housetop or the
steeple of submerged church. The
forty-mile levee is now the refuge of
horses, mules and cattle at points
where it did not cave in.
Many of the rescued negroes ap-
pear unconcerned over their advent
ures. They group around campfires,
laughing and recounting incidents of
their escape from the flood.

MEMBERS DESIRE RECESS
AT CHRISTMAS TIME

Washington, Dec. - President
Wilson's view on trust legislation are
to be sought this week by congress
sional leaders. The last week has de-
veloped pronounced view among
democratic members of the senate
that the antitrust acts of the pres
ent session of congress should be few
and should affect only the more OBJ
viously-needed reforms in the field of
combination and corporation activity.
While the president has announced
his purpose to send special trust
message to congress in the near fu-
ture, the scope of the communication
has not yet been outlined.
The demands of democratic lead
ers for speedy action on the currency
reform bill have had a marked effect
on the senate. Confident predictions
are now made that the bill will pass
that body before December 20 and
that an adjustment of differences be-
tween senate and house can be
reached shortly after that time.
Republican members have made it
clear they do not wish to be charged
with delay of currency reform. The
house will have before it the coming
week Alaskan railroad legislation, the
Thomas naval holiday" resolution,
immigration regulation, high cost of
living Investigations, the lobby COM
mittee's report and numerous other
matters of compelling interest.
1t is the hope of the house leaders
now that the senate will be able to
complete the currency bill so that a
two-weeks' recess can be taken for
the holiday season.
The early trust bills probably will
be aimed at the abolishment of inter-
locking directorates and holding COM
panies and possibly of voting trusts
and Fiscal agencies" Legislation
strengthening the rights of minority
stockholders will also be asked for
and attempts will be made to
strengthen the Sherman law so as to
get rid of the effect of the supreme
courts decision that reasonable" re-
straint of trade is not unlawful.

CHURCH TAKES SIDE OF

Oakland, Dec. 9-For the first time
in the history of California a large
and representative church organiza-
ton has concerned itself in what ap-
pears to be an organized labor fight.
This developed here when announce
ment was made that members of the
First Congregational church of Oak
land have taken up arms against what
they call unfair treatment accorded
prisoners arrested for alleged partici-
patton in the Wheatland hop riots last
August.
First steps were taken at meeting
called by the Rev. Ray F. Carter, pas
tor of the church. 1t was attended by
trustees, deacons, and many other
members.
Attorney Edward Morgan addressed
the meeting, declaring that 2300 labor
ers, answering advertisements, went

Cured, and were not fairly treated.
1t was alleged that justice is not be-
