RURAL SANITATION.
Health Conditions are in Need of Bet
terment.

In 1909 the commission of country life
reported that "the farm should be the
most healthful place in which to live
and there are numberess farmhouses
ESPECIALLY OF the farm owned class. that
possess most excellent modern sanitary
Iconyeniences. Still it is fact that there
are also numberless other farmhouses, es-
pecially OF the tenant class, and even
numerous rural schoolhouses, that do not
have the rudiments OF sanitary arrange.
ment Health conditions in many parts
OF the open country, therefore, are in
urgent need OF betterment.'
! The problem of rural sanitation calls
| for consideration from two points OF
view: that OF the possible practices to
the individual en- the farm and his i'm.
mediate neighbors; and that of the men
ace which insanity farm conditions may
present indirectly TO urban communities
The sanitary relation OF the farm to the
city involves almost entirely the posi-
bility of the spread of actual infection
from country 10 city through milk meat,
vegeta hles and other farm products. 4
few wears ago il was not uncommon for
farmers TO meet with a spirit of resist
ance any suggestion OF hygienic improve
ments which were planned TO diminish
the danger OF the farm as a starting
point for the spread OF disease. At times
there has actually been aggressive oppo-
sition to proposed regulations the OBJ
iect OF which was defensible from every
unbiased point OF view The milk indus
try could furnish many instances IN re-
cent times OF actual refusal on the part
OF farm communities TO supply an e..

President Wilson is opposed to the

The supply measures have the right

acted to advantage in respect to his own
environment As recent writer has
expressed it; Fortunately with the gen
eral advance in rural standards OF liv-
ing in recent years there has come about
a considerable awakening of interest
among farmers and representatives OF
rural communities along these lines. as
we'll az among the public as whole
| Modern methods OF communication and
travel have to a great extent brought
the rural districts into closer touch witt
the towns and cities The farmer learns
of the improved general health and re
duction in the death rate resulting from
the decrease of the ravages of conta
gious diseases, which has been brought
about through the introduction of such
preventing meaBures as a sanitary water
supply, proper methods for the disposal
OF sewage and garbage, and mosquito
and fly determination, and wishes to
avail himself OF these benefits.
The country medical practitioner well
realize the futile idealism of much that
emanates from an urban desk. Some
times the most elementary sanitary con
ditions offer puzzling problems when the
expense and feasibility of the proposed
remedies are carefully studied Too oft
en- the city reformer forget the enforced
monotony OF diet. the lack OF recreation
and the excessive hours of work which
farm conditions may entail in some see
tons and at certain seasons. There are
social as well as economic forces involved
in farm life, says the journal OF the
American Medical association. The re-

No Substantial Differences
in Care of Prisoners
Of War
ANDERSON REPORTS
ON CONDITIONS
In the Various Concentra-
ton Camps in
Europe

Washington, Dec. 29.--Chandler Ander
son, who as a special attaehe OF the
American embassy in London made al
investigation of military prison camps III
virtually all the European belligerent
countries, declared yesterday there was
no substantial difference in the treat
ment of prisoners of war and that prob
ably in every case they were cared for
as we'll as their captors could afford, con
sidering their own military necessities
Mr.. Anderson made personal investiga-
tions in England, Belgium, Germany and
Austria, and also had knowledge from
reliable sources as to conditions in France
and Russia.
Mr.. Anderson has Just returned to
Washington on account of the illness of
his wife. 1t is probable he will return
to London in few weeks. He speaks
in terms of the highest praise of the
work being done by Walter Hines Page,
the American ambassador at London,
and says that through the excellent re-
lations he has established with the for
eign office he has been able to accom-
plsh many things beyond the reach Of
another official.
The Germans at the date of Mr.. An
dersons departure from Europe had
about 100000 prisoners Of war. About
100000 were Russians, an equal number
French and about 1000 British, the re-
mainder being Belgians There are
thousands, he says, of civilians who had
been rounded up>in Germany and Bel
GUM and confined in one vast prison
camp near Berlin. The prisoners were
given the regular army ration, and their
principal lack was clothing suitable for
the season and opportunities for bath
ing. Most of them had been arrested in
the summer and fall, wearing light cloth
ing, and were consequently suffering
somewhat from the cold. The military
prisoners were found in worse circum.
stances, because the German government
would not allow them to accept and wear
civilian clothes, lest it facilitate their
escape, and the British government oc
cupied with other matters, had not found
the opportunity to forward clothing to
the prisoners. In England the German
and Austrian prisoners had been con
fined to the race courses, but more re-
