'Feverish Energy"
1.-THE feverish energy in sanitary
matters which characterize the gen.
eral public in time, of epidemic soon
gives way to lethargy and indiffer-
ence to public Health matters. The
average Individual is willing to take
q chance Of contracting a disease
when it seem a long way off, and It
Is only when it is close upon him
and in spectacular form that he APP
preciates it's danger. A single case
spread excitement, while a thousand
cases Of measles. which in their final
results are infinitely more dangerous.
are permitted to occur without re-
mark.
Longevity Possible.
Results of the past decade of
sanitary activity. have been to prove
that the p%rolongation Of life is en-
tirely practicable, and this prolonga-
ton has been largely brought about
by improvement in sanitary admin
istration. The time is not long since
passed when the public health official
who boldly pointed put the needs for
sanitary improvement in the factories
of a wealthy corporation endangered
his position. Today such critlsims

ed upon. The efficiency of human
machinery is quite as important as the
efficiency Of the other machinery Of
the factories, and the realization Of
this fact has resulted in an extension
Of the powers and duties of the pub
lie health authorities.
1.-The crudity of method and appa-
ratus of bygone days was only equal
led by the administrative inefficiency
of that time. To cite concrete kan
Piles, the battles Of Greasy and Agin-
Of individual commanders supported
by free companies having but a faint
relation to the army as 81 whole. The
greatest battle Of modern times,
fought betwee nthe japanese and
Russians at Mukden, was, on the con-
trary. carried by the victors only by
the concerted and 'integrating efforts
of a LIST fighting machine. the var
ious arms Of which occupied miles Of
territory, yet operated with a deadly
accuracy in which each and every
part of the army discharged its du-
ties without endeavoring for individ-
of interlocking efficiency without loss
of power or time.
The "Sanitary Machine"
"The sanitary machine Of this
country is a vast organization, reach
ing from the White House to the
humblest cottage in the United
States. The day has passed when by
individual briliancy a battle against
disease foes may. be won without re-
gard to the engagements which are
going on all about us. We live in an
age in which efficiency is the slogan.
We have learned fro moft-repeated
failure and sore disappointment that
in sanitary work as in all the other
efforts OF the human race, the great
est good can be accomplished in the
shorest space Of time and with q
minimum expenditure of funds and
labor by a concentrated cooperative
effort.

"The most needed reform in the

Of the public health arm Of the ma
ton is an active and generous CO.
operation one with the other. The
public health service cannot succeed

Of the county and municipal boards

PUBLIC HEALTH
UTILITIES IN n. Y,

New York. Dec. 11.-"Public health
is a public utility. A dollar laid out
in sanitation is not ar expenditure,
but a loan, which will be returned an
hundred fold" declared Surgeon
General Rupert Blue of the United
States public health service here to-
day, in an address before the Assoc
citation Of Life Insurance Presidents.
ANY municipality, state or nation
can have public health If it will but
pay the price," continued the surge
on general. 1.-THE most needed re-
forms in public health administration
are greater cooperation between pub
lie officials, the employment Of full
time workers. establishment of labo-
ratories. accurate collection Of vital
statistics and the setting aside of suf-
ficient funds to accomplish those
things.

tration in this country depends upon
the interest which the citizens take
in it's development. There is no bet
ter index of the state Of civilization
of a community than the manner in
which it approaches its public health
problems. There is still much room
for reform in the sanitary administra-
ton Of many states and municipali-
ties in u country, and not the least
important duty devoiving uD on the
health officials of this nation is the
education of the general public To
the end that sanitary reforms Will
not only be accepted, but will also be
earnestly sought for.
"Our slow progress in the direction
Of a perfect national health is due
to the fact that the people have not
yet fully realize dts Importance and
have not demanded that protection
