Battle Creek, Mich, January f1.-Race
Improvement sermons were delivered in
virtually all Battle Creek churches TODAY
by delegates attending the first National
Conference on Race Betterment. Among
the speakers were DR.. Gulford II. sum

Disease and It's Prevention" and the
Public Repressing of the Social Evn''
were two of the important topics dis
cussed.
THE cure-all doctor, the exclusively pill
and potion doctor the advertising quack,
the so-called drugless healer of human
Ills, the Medical Liberty league men and
the teacher who claims that human ills
are imaginary, are not the modern, scien-
tific doctors of the MEDICAL profession
declared Dr.. Sumner. THE sphere of the
medical man has been enlarged and he
has discovered that tuberculosis, typhoid
fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever, smallpox
and many diseases are economic maladies
and trade and occupational activities Will
not disappear until so-called conditions
have been made better
Whenever a state practices economy
in public health measures efficiency is
not attained, but If we place efficiency
first economy is the essential result. The
prime motive of all health boards should
be to prevent the spread of disease at
its source.
Every city should undergo a thorough
cleaning often and all refuse matter
should be cremated Dumping grounds
are resthouses for Matching germs. No
city should be accounted clean until it's

FREEZING WEATHER

Washington, January 1l.-Freezing
weather reaching down to southern Flor
ida was predicted today by weather bu-
reau experts for few days of the week.
"The week will -open,'' said the bulle-
tin, with a cold wave in the northwest
that will extend through to the upper lake
region during Monday and Tuesday, and
by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning
will reach the north Atlantic states.
There also will be heavy frosts and freez-
ing temperatures Monday and Tuesday
over the south Atlantic and gulf states,
ard by Tuesday morning the frosts prob
ably will extend over the interior of
southern Florida.
1T is not probable that high tempera-
lures will be experienced during the week
over the SOUTH but over the north after
the passing of the cold wave there will
be- recovery to more moderate tempera-
ture. This will reach the north Atlantic
states about Thursday.
~ disturbance nov near southern
Alaska already is causing rains on The
Washington coast. This disturbance will
bring rains and SHOWS vest of the noun
tains, but not much to the eastward un-
til about the middle of the week, when
SHOWS and rains may be expected from
Missouri and upper Mississippi valley
eastward, reaching the Atlantic states
Thursday or Friday. 1t is not probable
that any severely cold weather will fol-
low the present Alaska disturbance. An
other disturbance will follow toward the
end oil the week
"Over the south and southwest the
weather will be generally fair during the
week. and in the northeast there Will be
no precipitation of consequence until after
Abs middle of ths week..

Simpson on London Situation

Mr. Simpson Is to speak Of the leading
features of the London money and dis
count market. Outside Of the purely do
Elestic business of Great Britain there is
perhaps no feature more prominent in
this market than that which illustrates
the relations of the United States to in
ternaticnal banking.
Foi instance, no small part of the visible
or apparent trade balance which our for
eign trade established in our favor in
1913, approximately $3.50, ,oOo0oe, will be rep
resented by credits written IN the London
bankers books in favor of the United
States. One of the bankers who appeared
before Secretaries McAdoo and Houston
testified that single New York bank
ing institution handled in the year 1913
APP oximately So, 400.000,000 of exchange,
much the gerater part of this doubtless
being reflected in the Londcn money and
discount market.
Presumably Mr.. Simpson will attempt
to explain to these bankers how the new
banking law will affect these interna-
tional relations, at least SO far as the
effect can now be forecast.
The great French banker, NJ. Masses Is
f. rliar with some of the recent very
large financing which was carried on in
France for American banking and in
dustrial interests. He is understood to
feel that the present time is one which.
