the outcome of a conference of
the field secretaries of the state
boards of health in the southern
states interested in the work of
the Rockefeller sanitary COM
mission, which has been extern
sively conducted in the southern
states during the past five years.
The meeting will be held at At
lanta on May Is for the purpose
of deciding on the future work
of the commission. The Rookie
Teller fund provided 500, 600
for the work in the south during
the five years which end July l.
Tennessee has received $40, 900 a
year of this money during the
past five years, and most of it
has been spent in the fight
against hookworm in Tennessee.
DR.. DIN West is the Tennessee
representative of the commits

The great need for the con-
tinuation of this important work
will be emphasized by those who
attend the conference at Allan

greatest of RockefelIer's philan-
thropic enterprises, and has done
much good in the southern states.
The work is not complete, and
an effort will be made to have
the appropriation renewed, with
possible arrangements for finan-

ton of power and wealth, and with
the advancement of these corrupt.
ing influences, the once proud
Greece. despite its learning and its
wealth of literature and science,
waxed and waned and soon it fell.
The same was true of the Roman
Empire. AS nation 1t had reached
almost unlimited power, In govern
ment it had made wonderful prog
ress; 1t had set out to plant its flag
upon the shore Of every land, and,
for while, it seemed as though this
empire would be master both of
land and sea throughout all the civ :.
ilized world. but its downfall came
and when we search for the cause
Of its decay, we find that 1t was the
neglect of its citizens, the corrup
ton Of government and a clamorine
for power and the centralizing of
wealth. Thus we have seen ma
lions rise in strength and splendor
upon policy Of protecting and fos-.
tering the rights Of its citizens and
upon the other hand we have seen
them wrecked upon the rock Of sci
fshness and upon Indifference to the
rights Of humankind.
What is true Of governments is true
Of fraternities. They stand or fall
upon the principles which they ad :
vocate, they observe and practice /.
So long as Woodmen practice good
fellowship; as long as its members
are filled with charity and love OF
humanity the order will flourish as
the green bay tree, but should it de
part from these commendable pur-
poses. the doom Of Woodcraft is
sealed. / am happy to say that
thus far the order which you rep
resent has endeared itself to its
members and to the American PEG
pie and in vision am impressed
that its star will grow brighter and
brighter and its banner will be
raised higher and higher with each
succeeding year.
My friends, Florida, the far famed
land Of flowers, land of palm and
pine and golden fruit. land where
the sun shines brightest. the skies
are bluest and stars are clearest, and
to me Of all lands the dearest, bids
me welcome You, her cherished citi-
Gems, with a warm and sincere wei
come. May your convention be q
great success. May your sojourn
. here in this one Of Florida's fairies,
cities be so pleasant that you will
treasure your visit among your
hearts fondest memories.
