HEALTH CONGRESS WILL BE q
A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT
Will Discuss Pernicious Conditions in the Public Schools
of United States. Takes Place August 25-3O.
TNHE most important health con
ference that has ever been held
in the United States will take

~NHE most important health con
ference that has ever been held
in the United States will take
place in Buffalo, N. Y, Aug
$3.50, when the fourth international
congress on school hygiene meets in
that city. 1t is the most important
conference, because educational ex-
perts have come to realize that the
most potent factor in dealing with the
health problems of any nation is the
education of the people to know and
understand the laws and influences
which govern individual and public
health.
Many important public health and
hygiene conferences have been held in
this country and abroad, but hereto
fore all these have dealt principally
with adult or infant life. When the
individual has reached adult life he
has attained an age when health edu-
cation has to be forced upon him, while
in infant life the individual is too
young to receive a lasting impression
1t is with the school children, then.
that the most effective and lasting
work can be accomplished in dealing
with the health problems that confront
humanity. Therefore the assertion that
the fourth international congress on
school hygiene will be the most i'm
portant health conference ever held in
the United States will find few to con-
tradict it.
The Importance Realized.
The congress is being conducted I'M
der the patronage of the president OF
the United States and is being support
ed by practically every civilized govern
ment in the universe. showing that at
last we are coming to recognize the
value of having a proper foundation
upon which to build and support the
health of the individuals who form or
support the various governments.
For the period of time within the
recollection of~any one living at the
present date the health of the armies
and navies of the world has been pre-
sided over by the most effective corps
of medical and health experts possible
to secure. 1t is but recently, however,
that the governments of the world
have begun to learn that those who
are to be their future citizens should
receive the same care and considera-
tion that is given the armies and ma
vies
The health of the school child is, in
deed. far more important to the nation
than that of it's fighting men-in the
next generation at least

Is Now in Columbus.
reDorter of the Columbus Ledger
risfted Miss Bertha Averette, who is
,omed as correspondent by her sis
.or in divorce suit brought against
professor J. L. Kenyon, and that pa
nor prints the following account of
an interview with her:
The Columbus Story.
rDon inquiry in Columbus it was
tonnd that Miss Bertha Averette,
ros living at 500 First avenue, while
,ttending a business college in the
.itv and had been here about a
month. This morning she was seen
nv representative of the Ledger
ond asked for a statement concern
inc the allegations of her sister in
the divorce proceedings against Pro-
4essor J L. Kenyon of Dawson.
The newspaper representative
found a demure little girl, who gave
ber age as eighteen years, sorely de-
messed and very much Inundated
,bat she ahould have been named in
+be suit. II wish you would say any
thing you can for me about this
tropble." said Miss Averette. Il did
not know a thing about it until I
heard it late last night, but there is
mot a word of truth in the charges.
What Miss Averette Says.
"My brother-in-law has promised
that he would give me an education
ever since I can remember. My faith
or is dead, and my mother is very
moor. and I have been living with my
sister and brother. AS soon as 1 fin
ished my high school education my
brother-in-law said that he would see
to it that I received a course in book
keeping and shorthand, and so sent
me- here. I had to get something to
do, I couldn't live off of them for
ever Ny mother is poor, and all in
this world l am doing here is the
best can to get an education so that
can earn my own living.
Il haven't heard word from Daw-
son today or for several days, and I
don't know what to make of it. |
knew that my brother-in-law and sis
ter had had some trouble-they Of
ten fused when I was there-but l
don't know why my own sister should
make such charges against me. My
brother-in-law has often been affece-
tomato to me, as any brother would
do but never thought anything
about it.
Doesn't Want BOarders to Know.
you are the only one 1 have talk
ed to about it, but I just had to talk
to some one. I hope they won't find
out about it down at the boarding
house, as they would make it hard
for me to bear it. 1t is hard enough
now, but I am going to try to stick
it out"
Miss Averette was neatly and
quietly dressed, unassuming, and
spoke with a quiet voice, half afraid,
and on the verge of tears every min
ute. She stated that she would prob
ably know more about it when she
heard from Dawson, but that until
then she wouldn't talk any more.

Bad Storm in Wisconsin.
KANSAS CITY.-~How to get wa
ter for man and beast and how to
save a little out of the wrecked crops
of corn and other late summer prod
ucts presented Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma an increasingly serious
problem today.
1t was the twelfth day of intense
heat. Scattered showers last night
were Intellectual, and while so much
as half an inch of water fell yester-
day at Topeka it was in restricted
limits.
Cisterns are dry all over the coun-
try. Springs that never before were
known to fail have ceased to flow.
In many sections a good deep we'll is
gold mine Long trains of tank
cars supply several Oklahoma and
Western Kansas towns with all the
water they get. A train of thirty
cars of water was shipped from Pitts
burg, Kans, today to the mines of
coal company in the Pittsburg dis
trict to be used by the hundreds of
miners and their families and for OPP
Grating the company's engines. The
expense of shipping water, however,
is so great that several smaller mines
have shut down.
Tent Near Water Source.
In a section of Seward county,
Kansas, where no rain has fallen in
two months, the few wells that still
give water are surrounded by camp
ers, families that have closed houses
and gone to tent near water course.
Wichita and surrounding country
have had an abatement of heat dur
ing the last two days, the thermome-
ter not passing SO degrees. But the
country is parched. The people Of
the city and orchardists thereabouts
are working hard to save fruit and
shade trees by digging holes near the
roots and carrying water to them as
regularly as they would to horses.
How They Sleep.
Unique schemes have been adopted
by many residents of this city to
obtain sleep during the hot nights
which have prevailed for more than
two weeks.
Scores Of wealthy families on the
south side at night start for the
country in their motor cars. When
they come to an elevated spot where
the prospects Of a breeze seems good
they get out, pitch their beds in the
open and sleep there until driven
back home by hot rays of the morn
ing sun.
Bert Coins, swimming director of
the Kansas City Yacht Club, said to-
day that he sleeps with damp blan-
ket over him.
'I am always in the water and do
not take cold, but I would not advise
any one else to adopt my plan" he
said.
Many persons leep in motor boats
on the Missouri river, where the air
is cool after dark.
May Pray for Rain.
Topeka, Kahn the last four
days Governor Hodges of Kansas has
received hundreds Of letters asking
him to issue a proclamation setting a
certain hour of certain day during
which all praying persons in Kansas
shall offer supplication for rain, on
account of the extended drouth. The
governor has the matter of issuing
the proclamation under advisement.

Precautions Necessary.

Extreme precautions should be OBJ
served by school commissioners and
boards Of education to prevent teacS-
ers who are affected with tuberculosis
from continuing in the Service. This
should be done in the interest of the
teacher and in the interest of the pu-
oils. The solution Of the situation,
however, should not rest simply with
the attempt to prevent infected teach
ers from being employed. The school
officials and the patrons of our public
schools should be united in an effort to
remedy the existing conditions, that
the public schoolroom can in no sense
he considered as a place in which ones
health is subjected to unfavorable
conditions. A more active interest in
considering the principles of proper
construction, warming, ventilating and
lighting of school buildings will go a
great way toward remedying this sit
uation."
Mouth Hygiene Instruction.
The above is one of the strongest
pleas for teaching mouth hygiene that
has been published by the health de-
partment of any state in the Union
The writer has also commended that the
public schoolteachers of the country
are not paid salaries which are COM
mensurate with the obligations that
are placed upon them in the fulfill
ment of their duties
If practically three times as many
schoolteachers are dying from tubercu
losis in this country as are people in
other walks of life, because of the con-
ditions which surround the teachers.
what must be the effect produced upon
the schoolteachers of this country by
the various other germs which are just
as readily transferred from individual
to individual as are the germs which
produce tuberculosis? And what must
be the influence upon our boys and
girls who are compelled by the various
governments to attend school from six
to twelve years under the same eondi-
tons and surrounded by the same in
fuences that surround the teaching
profession?

Gated on the second floor of what
is known as the Pryor Building,

Drennen Supply Co., and more re-
Gently by the Dorchester Automo-

The factory is equipped with

TIRE VACANT C0nm|ssonERsA|P
Vernon s. Bradley, Esq, of The
Cambridge Bar, Prominent Cam
didate For The Public Service
Commission.

Within the next few days Gov.
Goldsborough will be called upon
to name a member of the Public
Service Commission to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of
DIR. Joshua w. Herring, of West
minister.
Among the candidates spoken of
is Mr.. Vernon S. Bradley, of this
city. Mr.. Bradley has been active
in looking after the improvements
of Cambridge; has shown himself
at all times to be a hustler, and
has played an active part in secur-
ing all of the improvements that
have come to Cambridge in recent
years.
He was prominently Identified
with the movement for the improv-
ed paving; took an active part in
securing the information upon which
was founded the Board of Trades
action against the old Diamond
State Telephone Co., which action
later developed into Statewide
inquiry. Recently he has been
connected with the organization of
the new Peoples Loan and Savings
Bank.
The Eastern Shore certainly, it
would seem, is entitled to one
member of the Commission. as of
the remaining two, the chairman,
Hon. Philip D. Laird, while origi-
nally a native of Cambridge, has
been for many years a resident of
the Western Shore; Hon. E. Clay
Timanus, the other member. is
from Baltimore city, and conse-
Quently the Eastern Shore is un-
represented.
Mr.. Bradley has. it is said, the
strongest endorsements of any of
the gentlemen mentioned in con-
nection with the position, and, while
we have no desire to advise Gov
Goldsborough concerning the politi-
cal appointments he is called upon
to make, we feel certain that the
appointment of Mr. Bradley would
be graceful recognition of his
work along the lines already men
toned, and would be source of
much pleasure to his friends and
endorsers.
