to the National Geographic Society
reviews in graphic manner the part
that sanitary science already has
played in the worlds advancement
and points to the possibilities through
this agency of the conversion of
those highlands 1ying near the equa-

billions of pounds a year to the
worlds meat supply.
This article, touching upon the re-
fations between dirt and disease. is

clean up the city. Its presentation
regarded as appropriate. since that

part in disease destroying campaigns.

fights that have been
waged throughout the world.
Mr. Showalter enumerates the dev-
astations OF disease in the Middle
Ages and even the later centuries. It
it only when one has summed up the
who have died from these
pestilences, he says. that the patient
man of the microscope is appreciated.
