ALLIES SHORT on
MUNITIONS OF WAR.
Must Stand Defensive Until Factories
Can Produce Supply.

London. March 2G.-Thc Times
military correspondent admits that
England. France and Russia are stu
short of much necessary war material
and that Germany's preparedness III
this respect has been one OF the heaN,
lest handicaps that the allies have had
TO contend with.
"The result Of this war depends
more upon material than any other
great conflict in history" adds the
correspondent. "Ihe entente powers
we're all short Of material when the
war began, but they are making up lee
way very fast. Before long their equip
ment will be complete, and from thnt
moment onward they will be in a posi-
ton to bring into play their large nu-
mcrical preponderance.
"For only a short time more they
have to stand on the defensive, hold
ing their armies on the defensive ana
stunning adventures for which this Is
not the moment. The hour for the Of
fcnsive will come, but It has not come
vet, and It is the greatest mistake IN
the world to display impatieuce ana
TO expect to Gull the fruits Of victory
before victory is ripe"

plea for public health from business
or monetary standpoint solely, it
could be shown that it pays. Suppose
a community has death rate of ten
per thousand, and as statistics show
that one42alf of these die of preYenta-
BILE diseases. it is apparent that twenty
five or thirty people die in Newberry
every year waose lives should not be
lost. What would these lives be WORTH
to the community if annually saved?
Another has said, Registration is
bookkeeping. TIE entries are lives
and health or death and disease, just
as in ordinary business the entries are
credits and debts of dollars, notes,
bonds and merchandise. No banker
would loan money to a concern tnat
does not keep books. No man or woman
should be willing to invest family in
a community that does not keep
books"
How would the health books of our
community appear if properly audited
or inspected?
We need stricter health rules; we
need more rigid enforcement of all
sanitary laws.

IONS Of tae town. All sur
face closets should be sanitary and
f7y-proof and cleaned once week by
the city authorities.
All horse or COW stables or pens
should be cleaned once a week, or the
manure kept in piles and lime or
borax, or solution of arsenite of lead
applied once week to kill all flies
or insects that may be present.
The hog-pen law should be strictly
enforced.
The law against splitting on the
streets should be obeyed by all and
enforced most rigidly. Garbage cans
should be used by all and the city
council carry out it's ordinance as TO
the removal of all garbage on the
days specified.
The law as to the dumping ground
of garbage should be observed by the
city authorities.
No arguments are needed to show
the necessity of such health regula-
tons, when we know that more than
half of our suffering is due to con-
tagion and that "contagion is an off,
spring of dirt, relative of disease and
a clum of death" 1t is due to gross
neglect and a multitude of excuses.
Contagion is not necessary evil, but
is preventable and is spread by care
lessness.
In this connection I would mention
the crime of some parents in exposing
their children to certain contagious
diseases-as measles, w ooping-cough,
ETC., arguing that they must nave such
ailments some time in life, and it IS
better to ave them while young.
Because contagion may not leave
visible marks is no proof t2at i'll
health in some future day may not be
traced directly to it's influence. The
child's health may be impaired for lite
,by the misconduct or ignorance OF
those in charge. Besides, in this way
contagion is increased and spread in
a community.
Many physical and even mental Grip
piles are victims of its destruction.
In tbs connection t1e arguments 1or
medical inspection of schools are ap-
parent; and the regular and periodic
fumigation of all public buildings, such
o. court rooms and public offices, NOV
ing picture galleries and theaters,
county jails and municipal prisons.
1t seems to me that citizen would
nave a just ground of suit against any
authority that might imprison him in
an unsanitary place.
Cleanliness is a civic, social and
health requirement, and its enforce
ment is imperative. Or, if We should

of all human suffering is caused by
preventable diseases.

preventable diseases.
These diseases are caused by their
respective germs, and scientific medi-
cine has studied t1eir cause, nature
and prevention, and nothing remains
to be done but the public execution of
this knowledge. Pasteur has said, 1T
is in the power Of man to cause all
germ disease to disappear from tie
world"
Disease is a common foe to man, and
the individuals of very community are
equally susceptible to it's influences,
and only tie physically strong can in
any way resist and the weak readily
succumb to it.
Public health and how to protect and
preserve it should be the watchword
of every one.
Those things that cause or tend to
produce impaired health in commun1-
ty are derived from one or more OF
the following sources: Impure drink
ing water or ice, impure milk, fresh
meats or vegetables and fruits, impure
fish; improper and unsanitary sew
erage and plumbing; impure surface
closets or privies; lack Of precautlon
in contagious and infectious diseases;
the improper disposition of garbage OF
premises and the public streets; the
ignorance or indifference of the public
in preventing the development ana
MULTIPLICATION of flies, mosquitoes and
ot3er insects that act as common car
,riers of disease; the neglect Of screen
ing homes, markets and green gro
ceries against such insects, and last,
but BY no means the least, is the sad
need Of public play grounds for the
children and a park or parks for the
outdoor recreation and exercise and
amusement of all, and the medical in
spection of school children and build
ings.
The sanitary ordinances Of our town
should be revised. The commissioner
of health should be a physician VINO
gives his whole time to the duties OF
his Office. We should nave a central
sanitary abattoir, to which place all
animals intended to be sold at the
markets should be carried for inspec-
ton and slaughter, and sanitary hand
ling of the meat.
The dairies should be regularly in
spected and the milk as sold to the
citizens examined when deemed advis-
able.
All markets and green groceries
should be screened against flies and
dust.
None but licensed plumber should
be allowed to do plumbing in our
town.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1915-04-27

Lave been asked to speak to you
on the health of our community and
its most imperative needs.
A community is collection Of peo-
pie in given territory or in speci-
fed locality, bound togethe~ for the
common interest of all and the mutual
welfare and protection of each one.
Self-preservation or self-protection
is the first law of nature, and what IS
true of an individual is equally true OF
a community, or a collection Of indi-
viduals.
In order to enjoy the blessings of
self-preserVation, one can not wait un-
til mis- safety is in peril; but rather
in uae time of apparent security y it
wise to prepare against the evils that
may unexpectedly befall him.
In the affairs of state the wise leader
will advise against war by preparing
for it in time of peace.
This is equally true in all social and
economic questions; and is pre-emi-
nently true in the question of public
health
No one deliberately chooses to be
sick any more than ne would c1oose TO
receive a personal injury. If there
were danger of bodily harm to an IN
dividual or community threatened by
some enemy, self-protection would be
the first instinct of nature to assert
itself, and resistance, or at least an
effort at self-preservation, and self
protection against known and visible
foe, would be Immediately manifest.
Men would be willing to offer their
lives in the defense of their homes,
and spend largely of their material
wealth in the checking of an invasion.
When it can be successfully shown
to the mind of the average citizen that
we have such foe constantly leopard
izing our health and general welfare
we should be more alert in preventing
mis- attacks and counteracting and re-
rag t-e injuries inflicted.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Pro-.


 It was an important meeting of the executive Board of the c. W. 5. A. that was held yesterday at headquarters in Hartford. The chief question before the Board was the Annual Convention of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association which is to be held again this year in Hartford. This conven- tion comes always in October and this year it will probably be held in the last week of next month, though the date was not finally determined. The calls for the convention will be sent out in the course of about week and committee was appointed, with Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, the president, at it's head, to make final arrangement ts about the speakers to be secured and the date of the convention.
 This year again will show large growth in the suffrage movement in the state. The number of enrolled members and of affiliated leagues has greatly increased and the propaganda has been more widespread and more inclusive than in any previous year. By the end of October it is expected that Miss Emily Pierson may be able to be back in Connecticut-at any rate long enough to attend the two days ses- sions of the convention. She will have finished her campaign work in New Jersey, but both she and Miss Alyse Gregory are anxious to put in the two last weeks before the vote is taken in the campaign work of New York State. In New Jersey the vote will be taken on October 19, in New York and the other campaign states on November 2nd. Press Sec.

The women of Connecticut are spared many unpleasant-even insulting-ex- periences because they do not vote. The women of the western suffrage states do not fare as we'll. That is doubtless one reason why so many of the best women stay away from the polls.
 Mrs. Horace Brock. president of the Pennsylvania Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, quotes a newspaper man who was in Chicago at recent election, as follows
 "Women's votes made little or no difference in the election. but it made you sick to see the women celebrating with the men after the election. A young woman, who had been very active at the polls on election day, was accosted some days later on the street

TRAFFIC COP TROUBLES
Every Town Has Them. and the Cop
 nGetS HiS''

The "traffic cop'' problem is agitat- ing other communities, as well as Ca. naan, and the poor "cop" who has the backbone to do his duty as he sees it., is ''getting his" from the automobilists and others who resent any interference with their rights" to do as they please, regardless. The following. from the Waterbury American, gives an indication of the status of the traffic cop in the autoist's estimation-the officer who insists on doing his duty is a nuisance, and a legitimate butt of ridicule. The American says:
 "Damn that traffic cop, bawling me out here in public that way!' That was the wrathful exclamation of a motorist who managed to get into Waterbury the other afternoon by one of it's well guarded streets. "He talked to me like a town meeting because l didn't blow my horn when I approached his crossing. Back here in another town which 1 passed l saw a police. man at the crossing and footed several times to him thinking he was waiting for the signal. Finally he beckoned me on and said, as I approached and passed by, Why don't you go on about your business and not make such a damned noise? This is no traffic cen ter There ought to be some uniform traffic laws and there ought to be men with more sense and not so much voice to enforce them. You've got to feel your way through this part of the country as if you were spy trying to get into beleaguered town."
 The following code of "Don'ts, |" which appeared in the Danbury News a few days ago, contain the germ of common sense, advice, which, if ob- served, would obviate much of the per picking discord that is creating and in- tensifying a nasty feeling between auto driver and the traffic cop:
 Don't use cut-out. Unship it and avoid temptation.
