CITIZENS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Physical WeIl-6elng Most Important
to Community as Well as to
the Individual.

There are few things of so great i'm
portance to the individual as his.
health. Upon 1t depends largely his
attitude toward life and his relation
ship to his fellow man. Generally
speaking, the physically we'll are pros
porous and efficient and the sick or
diseased unsuccessful and inefficient.
h individual chemically poisoned
by malaria or by hookworm infection
finds his daily work onerous and the
fruits of his labor give but little pleas
ure. The consumptive would gladly
exchange his bank account for physi-
cal health. Who would not give his
material wealth if by so doing he
could bring back loved ones lost pre-
maturely by fatal disease?
The health Of the community is the
combined health of those living in Il.
The relation of the citizen to the
health of the community is, therefore,
his relation to the health If his neigh
bors and of those living in the same
city or state.
The health of the community should

self, of his family and of his fellow
citizens. Upon the health of the peo-
pie depends the happiness and pros
perity of the community. Without
health there can be no real prosperity
and such material success as may be
attained is of little benefit.
To the extent hat the inhabitants
of a community are sick the commu-
nifty itself is diseased. The community
has health only in so far as the people
are free from disease. To a commu-
nifty health is a valuable asset; it in
sures prosperity, it attracts people. It
increases the value of the land. Many
letters are received daily at the public
health bureau at Washington from
people who are contemplating buying
land and moving from one state to
another, asking about the health CON
ditions of certain localities.

have to work for a living, because
somebody else has done the work for
them. Just as though all that life
meant was to provide for the eating
n drinking, the housing Of our
bodies and Indulgence in luxuries.
A steady occupation is mans great
life preserver, without which, IL he is
able to work, he cannot possibly keep
from a fatal deterioration.
Our powers we're given uD for exer-
else, for achievement, and If not used,
man cannot long remain a man. He
will o dwindle back to the brute.
Mans chief purpose in life. the
great object of his existence is
achievement. He was made to do
things. and idleness is fatal paralysis.
The moment we divert anything
planned, made to serve a particular
purpose. we ruin It..
A watch was made to keep time.
That was its sole purpose and object;
and II we attempt to use 1t for any
other purpose we rob it of its power.

WORD OF AN INDIAN
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Copyright, 1914, by w. G. Chapman.)
Bafin of the police told me this
story. OF course he may have been
lying, but my principle is never to say
anything of a man behind his back
that n wouldn't say to him to his
face, and no man that | know would
call Batfln a liar face to face.
Corporal Shannon of the Northwest
police set out north from Edmonton on
a March morning to cover an S00-mile
trail and bring back Laughing Cloud
to be hanged in Edmonton Jail. He
cursed himself as a fool when he set
out, because he had trusted the In
dian and the Indian had betrayed his
trust, thereby neccssitating this sec
ond journey.
Laughing Cloud had killed his
brother, and Shannon had gone to get
him the preceding october. He found
the Indians wife, but not the Indian.
He learned from her that Laughing
Cloud, aware Of the inexorable pur-
suit, had gone north into the Arctic
circle to say good-by to his father
and mother. who we're hunting carl
bou over the barren grounds.
Laughing Clouds squaw advanced
a singular proposition on behalf Of
her husband. If Shannon would leave
Laughing Cloud in peace to say good
by to the old folks she pledged that he
would appear in Edmonton to be
hanged in February.
AS it was too late in the year to
continue the pursuit at that time,
Shannon accepted the proposal. He
had heard that the Indians were faith
full to their bargains, but he was skep-
teal when it was a matter of life or
death.
And his skepticism proved justified,
for February came and went, and
there was 40 Laughing Cloud. Where
upon Shannon, disguised with the
world, and Indians in particular, sad
died up and rode out north.
He had covered some 500 miles by
the end of March, housing himself in

81 Bio Fish Get Away.

Honors for hooking the biggest fish
that ever got away go to Martin I'll
rich. a salesman Of Oakland, Cal, who
was himself authority for the story.
Ulrich and a party of friends were
out fishing for big fish in Ulrich's
launch Germany, off Angel island, in
San Francisco bay.
Suddenly his line gave a violent tug.
He grasped it with all his might, and
so strong was the pull that the launch
began to plunge wildly through the
waves.
After a few minutes of excited un.
certainty something strange and
shapeless rose from a swirl Of foam
ahead.
1t was submarine K-127, taking a
practice spin. Ulrich's hook had
fouled a ring on the exterior of the
submarine.
He cut the line.

The quail, between his CHEEKY calls
of "Bob-White," is busy consuming
1876 varieties of insects. He will eat
on an average $4,000 insects and

is the natural enemy Of the b~oll-weevil
