METHODS IN PUB
 LIC HEALTH WORK

The modern public health move ment has been a development of the present generation, almost of the last decade. Two distinct methods, based on equally distinct lines of reasoning, appear to have been adopted. One view assumes that public health must be secured and maintained by means of a great organization, state health police force, which will prevent the violation of the laws of health in the same way that the regular police force prevents crime. The other view aims rather at the education of the people, so that the laws of health will become common property and the power for their enforcement will lie in public opinion. The advocates of the first theory devote themselves to securing larger appropriations, so that more inspectors can be employed. The ad- vocates of what may be called the educational method endeavor rather to spend such funds as are available in presenting basic facts to the people in strikingly impressive and con- vincing way In this educational work, the State Health Department of Virginia has been especially promi- nent. Few, if any, states with as li- mited funds have been able to produce so many new and excellent education al devices. The Health Almanac, now used by six or seven states, was first issued from Virginia. The State De partment of Health saw no reason why the household almanac should be monopolized by nostrum vendors. The latest innovation from Virginia is another device, captured from the patent medicine" advertising agent. Any one who has driven in country roads and lanes is familiar with the omnipresents tin sign, tackled on fenc- es, gate posts, telephone and trolly poles, and even on trees and the sid es of barns, urging the public to try "Dr. killem's Sure Cure for Bright's Disease" or "Ketcham's Old Reliable Cure for Consumption" Obviously, such advertisements caught the public eye and held attention, or patent medicine" firms would not continue to advertise them. Why not use the pub lie highways to advertise health as well as quackery? No sooner said than done. A series of six placards,

BETTER STAPLE

Cation growers of the South and Southwest lose much every year be- kause of poor staple in cotton. Ev- rv grower informed on cotton grades knows that poor staple does not re- keive price in proportion to that kiven for a good staple. In other Words, buyers do not want poor sta lie at any price, but are anxious for he best even if it cost little more han quotations indicate.
 Much of the poor quality in cotton &ould be traced to carelessness in Handling. Too often the cotton is piled n the ground without shelter in the Held till ready to be ginned. It may Se damp and stained and gin very badly, thus injuring the staple. Then he bales may lie on the ground in the |myard or at the growers home for everal weeks absorbing moisture and letting further stained. This damage

 This is not all. Many use gin-run eed with no thought of purity of va iety and quality of fiber, hence the rower has little idea as to what kind
 staple he has. This gives the de- fgning buyer chance to defraud and
 also loads the market with prod cts in which there is little competi- lon.
 The cotton grower with good sta le has many advantages in the mar et' Buyers usually have contracts bling for good cotton and they are fxlous to buy and pay a good price rlt' This increases competition for le growers products and enables

UP TO SOUTHERN BANKERS TO
 SHOW PATRIOTISM AND
 BUSINESS SENSE

The editor of the Manufacturers Record on August 25 sent to the Age Herald Birmingham, Ala, the follow ing telegram in commendation of the address of Mir. w. P. G. Harding of the Federal Reserve Board
 Harding's address, an advance copy of which I have read, puts the whole cotton situation squarely up to the growers, the merchants and the bank CTS of the South. It is really call to the sanity and patriotism and busi- ness sense of the South to maintain tits self-reliance and backbone and handle it's own great crop, which it is |abundantly able to do without being posed before the world as dependent upon the help of others.
 The South has the cotton which the world must have. This cotton is as essential for the battlefield as for hos pial, as essential in war as in peace.
 During the great death-grapple in Europe, where civilization itself is at stake, we would be foolish to expect that our cotton trade will run as smoothly as in times of peace. New ertheless, the situation in the South is so infinitely better than it was a year ago that timidity in financing cotton in the South and by the South would show a weakness that would be a greater reflection upon the business ability and all the boasted progress of this section.
 Let us ask neither this Governmest nor any other to valorize in the South's cotton or to buy it to win our friendship.
 Let the South realize it's own strength in manhood and money and let the Southern bankers voluntarily carry cotton at a lower rate of inter est than they have ever done before, and thus prove their patriotism and | their business sense.
 To force cotton on the market by charging high rates of interest or re- fusing well-secured loans, would prove Southern banks lacking in patriotism and in sound business sense.
 This is not the time to expect the pound of flesh. but to deal broadly generously and whole-heartedly, and thus give the world a new appreciation of what the South can achieve for it. self and by itself, and in doing this give to Southern cotton stable value which would add to the prosperity of every interest," farmer, merchant manufacturer and banker alike.

 Recently prominent matron in a big Eastern town had occasion to en- ploy a new domestic, and as soon as the girl reached the house a large questioning seance started.
 ''I suppose, Gwendolyn," remarked the matron, that they served the din- her in courses where you worked last?"
 "Yes, ma'am," answered Gwendolyn collectively, that is, they did some times and sometimes they didn't"
 "Um, 1 see," thoughtfully respond ed the matron, and then continued; Did they use finger bowls ?"
 "No, ma a'am," was the startling re- joinder of the domestic, they always washed before they came to the table" !"
