Httle OF what is being done in it's behalf This
snip commander is also a DOCTOR surgeon and
as selentlSt. On the ship knowledge is trained
AGAINST the enemy. The Brattons cruises
maoe IN behalf of the welfare Of American citi-
zehs and they constitute menace to the
Try OF any people on earth
1t is the first duty of the Bratton to safeguard
the oyster industry of the waters in which the
snip sails Safeguarding the oyster industry
means safeguarding the health of the consumers
OF oysters and other shell fish. In 1912 law
was passed which gave into the hands of the pub
lie health service the work of field investigation
into the causes of diseases affecting man. and
the duty of enforcing rules of safety at the
sources of trouble Under the same law the serv-
ice was charged with the work of the study of the
pollution of streams by sewage and by industrial
wastes. The work in connection with the oyster
industry falls within the field of the duties i'm
posed upon the service by this Law of 1912.
The Bratton steams all through the coast
waters of the Chesapeake. making incursions into
the inlets bays and tributary rivers. Under the
direction of the surgeon in charge shell fish
taken from the beds at all the sources Of supply.
With them are taken samples of the water at diff
ferent depths and also samples of the material
which forms the bed of the coastal waters, the
bays and the streams at the points where the
test is to be applied
Psychological and chemical examinations are
made of the shell fish, the water and the bottom
material The archaeological examination is the
most important. 1t discloses the total number of
bacteria and the number Of colon baciIli which
present. The presence of colon bacilli in
great numbers shows the presence of focal mat
ter and arouses instant and earnest attention
and painstaking examination and report
The 1ayman probably knows in a general way
that typhoid fever through the method of its in
PRODUCTION into the system is one of the grave
dangers which threatens the people through ifs
food supply 1t must not be supposed for a mo-
ment that the work>of the scientists on the Brat
ton cease when they have taken their samples
and have detected the presence of elements which
may constitute danger to the public health
When there is suspicion that the coastal waters
the shell fish bed or the waters of a beach which
are used for bathing purposes by the people, are
affected by dangerous deposits, the Lana whose
drainage flows into the suspected waters instantly
is studied. All useful Information concerning it
is obtained and means taken to correct condi-
lions which have contributed to the pollution OF
the waters or have wholly produced it
The study OF the section Of the land which is
suspected of supplying through its drainage the
matter which deposit becomes menace

ent and past conditions of health Of the commu-
nifty. whether not typhoid and other COM
mun1cable disease have been prevalent,
the number of cases of such diseases and their
location, the general sanitary condition Of the
houses the land and the inhabitants 1t is q
comprehensive work and it is carried out in every
locality where there is a thought that danger MAJ
exist
At Cape Charles the public health service has
an experiment station It is a well and pictur-
esquely located building, fitted with all the need
ed appliances for the scientific work which there
is prosecuted. At a little distance is building
which is used for a tank house in which are
placed all the material which is to be tie sub
ject of archaeological and chemical examination
From the beginning of each working trip until the
final results of the examinations Of the material
collected are known, the work of the service men
is most thorough. Nothing is left to chance and
nothing is omitted which might in any way help
the safeguarding labor.
In this study of possible shell fish bed or water
pollution, the public health service has conducted
some work in tie Mississippi sound. In the time
to come unquestionably the field Of labor will be
widely extended. The value of the service is un-
questionable and it has been so recognized by the
scientific world. The shell fish industry is an
enormous one and it is of SURPRISING value The
public health service not only works for the PEE
ple but for the industry itself, which, of course
cannot thrive if its product becomes charged with
danger to the public health In a word, one Of
the great works of the public health service is to
see to it that one great part Of the food supply
of the United States is made and kept safe.
The reports of the public health service are
made public and the government and the individ-
ual states profit by them. In the agricultural de-
partment there are two governmental agencies
which make use of the information which the
public health service supplies There are pure
food and sanitary laws in the United States and
there means of reaching offenders against
them. Three departments of the government the
treasury. agriculture, and. If occasion requires
the attorneygeneraI's department, constitute a
partnership OF correction and If the case jrstifes
of prosecution.
The Bratton is a small ship but under the df-
rection of the service and of its complement OF
scientists it is doing great work for the public
health Of the people Of these United States of
America.

the Yankees we're on the watch and
gave the invaders a warmer reception
than they had bargained for. Small
detachments Of cavalry and infantry
attacked the enemy as soon as they
had stepped ashore and drove them

one cause ali these disasters; but any
how if the lack of a national ideal was
not the only cause, it was one OF the
main causes Of our defeat A nation
cannot be founded simply on material
forces; for material things change
easily. Social organisms that depend
entirely on their material forces. and
are entirely without any strong moral
basis, any great faith. cannot ind any
standing ground at E time of change.
They are abruptly shaken down They
remain impOtent, they go from defeat
to defeat. as We did during the Balkan
