EXPECTANCY IN THE PUBLIC
 HEALTH CAMPAIGN.

The only safe way to guide public health efforts along quantitative lines is to govern them by an intelligent study of vital statistics. Vital statis- tics are, to public health, what book keeping is to the ordinary business. The wise merchant studies his records of profit and loss and expands along the lines where he can get the best interest on his capital. So with the modern health officer. The various causes of death in his city indicate the possible end toward which he may direct his efforts, and his past experi- ence and the experience of others tells him which Of them are likely to be proftab1y attacked. For example, there were 732, 538 deaths in the regis tration area of the United States in 1s9 One hundred and seventy-four thousand four hundred and seventy of these deaths were from various mi nor causes hard to classify in brief form.
 In the main, however, it is true that there is one great class of important diseases, like cancer and the others

STATE BANKERS OPPOSED
 TO CURRENCY LEGISLATION

New London. June 2F-Probabl the most important action taken at the an- inuaI meeting of the Connecticut Bank ers' association was the passage of a resolution opposing any currency leg 1slatfon such as printed in the press recently from Washington as being provided for in the bill to be intro duced in congress. The resolution left the association open to take fur fher action at a future date on cur rency legislation which 1t might deem O. good thing for the country.
 There was a strong sentiment among the state bankers that new currency 1sgfslation was needed, but that it must be of the right sort in order not to disturb the confidence of busi- neEs interests.

Not Very Specific as to Portions
to Be Mixed.

The modern housewife, who appor-

cookery recipes with mathematical
precision, can find nothing more
amusing than some of the vague d.
rections by which the old-fashioned
cook of several generations ago pre-
pared foods. These random sentences,
taken from a little cook book that be-
longed to the great-grandmother OF
Baltimore girl. suggest pointed ex-
amples:
Take whatever quantity Of rice
you think proper, according to the
size of your family; boil 1t in good
broth and some lard; when cool mix
1t with as much -four as rice, a good
deal of butter, some eggs to hold 1t
together, and make puff paste Of 1t.

shape and bigness you please. and
bake.

clear when the poultry is laid down to
roast, 1t will not eat near so sweet or

According to the goodness Of your
fire, your meat will be done sooner
