DIR. Oscar Bowling of Shreveport,

address to large crowd at the High

fDr. Bowling was met at the station
by the local company of Boy Scouts
i'and a number of Conway citizens. He
was escorted over the city on scout

pearance of the city.
In introducing DR.. Bowling, DR.. A.
c. Millar paid high tribute to him
stating that he was due no small
amount of praise for the recent move
j towards sanitary conditions of our
cities.
In speaking of the new State Board
of Health which was created by the
last legislature, Dr. Bowling said: 81

<ment attacks and eliminates waste.
The government is gigantic business
enterprise, with an implied purpose of
far greater import than dividends in
money or stocks.
Sickness is waste. The death rate
in the cities of this country is Is per
thousand. In Conway, there are ap-
proximately 5000 people; this, using
the city rate per thousand means as
deaths annually. If one-half this
Inumber-a most conservative esti-
mate-die of preventable diseases,
there are % unnecessary deaths every
year. In the whole state, population
one million six hundred thousand, the
number at 10 per thousand gives the
appalling figure of 10000 deaths, one
half of which, according to established
scientific data, are preventable
The waste element, even to the
casual student becomes apparent
when the economic value of a life is
considered. DR.. Irving Fishers esti-
mate is S1,700, the average value of
the average life. This was worked out
carefully and is a conservative figure.
At this valuation, Arkansas loses in
the preventable deaths of 5000 citi-
zens, 100000 These figures rep
resent partly potential values. The alb
solute loss may be estimated on
basis of the wage earners. OF the

5000 persons who die one-fourtb at
least are in the wage-earning period.
Averaging their earnings at S700. the
loss to Conway each year is (from
the estimated one fourth of her % un-
necessary deaths being in the wage
earning period) s3,S5O and to the
commonwealth $1,400,OOO
But stapendous as these figures are
for the city and state, for the nation
they are inconceivably vast. Yet,
they do not represent the total loss
from sickness and death. To take
again the estimate Of DIR. Irving Fish
er, there are .rohably at all times in
! the United States, three million peo-
pie seriously i'll. 1t is safe to assume
that third are in the working period
OF life and that three-fourths of the
one million potential workers would
be occupied. This would mean the
minimum loss of earning would be five
hundred million dollars annually.
Adding to this the cost of medical at
tendance, medicine and nursing. at an
average of one dollar per day for the
three million riel each day in the
year, the minimum annual cost would
be one billion five hundred million dol
lars.
Estimates more familiar, give spe.

The economic reasons for promo
'tion of public health are obviods-cer-
tain diseases can be controlled; sick
ness is waste; health investments
bring immediate, tangible returns.
A brief survey of the sanitary his
tory of the past 20 years will sub
stantiate the truth of these premises.
Measures which can no longer be
considered experimental, offer abund-
ant proof of control of infectious dis
eases In England in the eighteenth
century, smallpox was more prevalent
than tuberculosis is today Rigid en-
forcement of the vaccination law
there and in several continental coun-
tires has almost eliminated this loath-
some scourge. In the German empire,
where for century sanitary reforms
have been in progress, the typhoid
rate between 1901 and 1905 was 7.6.
by contrast in this country, for the
same period, it was four times as
great, being 1922 In Pennsylvania,
Iwhere-the health budget item is two
million dollars-it is estimated that
approximately $500 deaths from ty-
iphoid fever and 1000 from diptheria
were prevented in one year, 1910.
Malaria, considered by many one of
the uncomfortable diseases, in the
Italian states has been almost wiped
out. In 1900, there were from this
disease 1855 deaths; in 1910, only g.
I610. Since 1906, in the Canal zone,
the per cent of reduction in cases of
this malady is over 70 per cent.
Between 1898 and 1900, 100000
deaths resulted from yellow fever.
Since the mosquito has been known as
the cause, 1900, this disease has no
longer habitat in the south.
Within 96 years six pandemics of
cholera are recorded. The successful
experiment in Moscow in warding off
the malady through good water SER
vice is well known
ihc pIihiaiiI ieSullS VI bT. hupeTI
Blues efforts in plague control are
fresh in memory
The most widely known of all health
experiments is the work accomplished
in the Canal zone. The death rate
there among the Americans in 1910
was 3.9 per cent. In Orange, New
Jersey, which that year had the low
est rate of any city in the country, the
figures were S.5.
Wherever there has been systematic
effort to control environment and in
fectious diseases, the span of life has
been heightened In the middle of the
nineteenth century the annual mortal
ity of London was "a in thousand;
in 1900, IA or Is per thousand-note
increasing average term of life in con-
sequence. In France, the mean length !
of human life from 1925 to 1880 was
80 years and eight months. In 1864, |
81 years and six months. The aver
age age at death among us in 1890 |
was 311; in 1900, 35.2 Records of |
New York city give a striking illus
tration. In 1866, the death rate was
SO to each thousand; in 1911 it was
1913; in 1912, 14.11. These figures
give convincing testimony in the cause
of the science of sanitation.
