MANY LIVES SAVED
BY PRINTERS INK

In the course of an address at the
meeting of the American Public
health association in Rochester, New
York, q short time ago, Edward A.
Moree, secretary of the New York
State Charities Aid association, said:
" Printers ink is saving more lives
than any other single agency employed
by health workers.
The problem of public health is
problem of publicity. When the light
II turned into the dark corners ami
fifth is revealed the first step is taken
toward reform.
1t is through the newspapers that the
great campaign against tuberculosis
has been waged. 1t is the publicity
given the cause of the dying babies
that has saved thousands OF little ones
in the crowded ci' es of the east.
In the course of his address Mr.. Mo-
zee told how publicity had put an end
TO an epidemic of smallpox which had
taxed the resources of the state of
New York.
In spite of the efforts of the doctors
the disease continued to spread
throughout the various cities and
towns. Finally the state health author
tiles announced that they proposed 10
spread broadcast through the papers of
the state the facts concerning the lax
health methods of the various eommu-
mites.
Threatened with the loss of business
and prestige which this course would
would entail, the local authorities join
ed hands with the state health board
and the smallpox epidemic was stamp
ed out.
Printers ink is the surest remedy
for most of our community ills. We
hive learned that many Of our trou-
bles have their origin in ignorance.
Through the press it has been possible
20 educate the people 70 take care OF
themselves.
In an idireet but none the less pow
eIful way the press, by turning the
minds Of the people 10 the great out
of-doors has done much to Danish ill.,
ness and made the Doctors lot easier.

Of Mississippi. and, so far as records
go, in the world. The bird hog
works in this manner. according to
Mr.. Shields:

and never Pushes a bird. When he
locates a covey the bristles rise on
his back. his tail uncnrls and becomes
perfectly rigid, he lifts his left hind
foot--makinR a perfect point"
Mr.. Shields SAYS that from early
pighood the animal associated with
the Buckhurst dogs, acquiring their
hab bits and outlooks, and being en-
dowed with a brain of exceptional eff

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 1.-The total ex-

This is an increase OF about two and
one-haf million over the exports re-
ported for the first three weeks of the

month.
The value OF the exports for July,
1915, is nearly eight times the value

was s1,152.371.
The three leading items in the ex-

each making up almost one-third of
the shipments for the month. Small
shipments Of various other articles are
included in the list OF exports, how
