Departnnentsof Public Health.

THE United States as a nation has many de-
nartments. but not one Of these is needed more
than a Department of Public Health IS needed.
We are SPENDING annually untold millions OF
dollars in many directions and during recent
years haveF.given much attention to the con-
s~ervation of the natural resources OF the United
States. There is no greater opportunity IN the
country for conservation than could be given
under the title of conservation OF the pupIc
health. For many years there was a dlspo-
sition to resist the encroachment OF the federal
union upon the functions of the various states.
But when the federal union with It's increasing
revenues, began to foot the bills tor various de-
parsments and especially the department OF
agriculture and to show the vast possibilities OF
federal Intervention, there was developed ard
there now exists a feeling among the states
that it would be wise to take all the money that
the federal government is wiling to give the
people Of the country, even if some OF the bust
ness has apparently to be done outside OF any
known law.
The use Of the United States mails by those
who prepare FRAUDULENT foods and by those VINO
prepale fraudulent medicines making CLAIMS Tor
both entirely at variance with the facts in the
case should be controlled and there ought to be
some way Of reaching these predatory criminals.
They should certainly be denied the use of the
u. S. mails, unless the statements made IN their
advertisements are true.
AS the science of medicine in it's various
branches is such a difficult one, the progress
made in it has not been relatively as great as
it has in the mechanical world. Yet the human
body is in it's action a machine wherein the
power is developed by the food consumed, and
the progress Of the world is the record OF the
work done by the human machine.
The life insurance people admit the prolong-
alton of human life in these later days and it is
manifest on every side that sanitation has ad-
vanced almost marvelously from the conditions
Of half a century ago, and yet W are far from
having attained the best possible conditions. In
our own state DR.. Bowling has taken the mat
ter up with a degree Of earnestness never equal
ed in the past. He, however, has had the PEG,
Pile with him and that has made his work easier
than it otherwise would have been.

CHILD is KILLED
BY MOVING COAL CAR

Funeral services over the remains
of Robert Murray Wright aged years,
who was killed Monday afternoon when
he was run over by coal ear at Van
derbilt furnace, will be conducted this
morning at 10 o'clock from the family
residence at Vanderbilt Interment will
follow in Woodlawn cemetery.
Accounts of the accident are vague,
but 1T seems that the little chap was
playing on the Vanderbilt tracks about
dusk Monday afternoon when a switch
engine backed suddenly into the coal
can near which little Robert was play
ing. A brother, Collins, was also slight
ly bruised by the accident
The alarm was at once given and the
parents of the boy, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Murray Wright, were terribly affected.
Mrs. Wright has been prostrated since
the accident. Mr.. Wright is a well
known engineer on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad.
