Our Philippine Experience.

Those Americans who are in the
habit of deprecating our assumptioR
of responsibility for the Phillippinesl
ought to be reminded that the splen-
did consensus of the whole Eastern
world in putting an end to the
opium traffic grew directly out of
experience in those islands. AS DR..
Wright explains, it was in 1905 that
the spread of the opium habit in
the Philippines began to attract the
serious attention of our authorities.
They took firm steps for its local
suppression, leading the world in
this regard. 1t was in consequence
of this Philippine situation that our
Government took the next step, and
invited the world to the series of
conference which ended in the agree
ment of thirty-four nations to stop
the opium traffic in 1915. DR..
Hamilton Wright had acquired ex-
perience and repute in dealing with
medical conditions in the Orient,
and Bishop Brett had become
great moral leader in the Phillipp-
ines. Thus our Far Eastern exper-
fence had provided us with men
supremacy fitted to represent US and
to influence the delegates of other
nations Furthermore our Philippine
expert ence has trained a good many
other experts in sanitary science
and public administration, and has
brought about results that are des-
tined to transform conditions in
various parts of the world. We
have form ed new ideas of what it
is possible to accomplish for the
welfare of backward societies.

Clean Up and Paint Up"

Do you find a bit of dust?
Clean it up! Clean it upl
Do you see a blight of rust?
Rub it up! Rub it up!
If the paint is getting old,
New and fresh is being sold,
For the town has now been told
In a slogan clear and bold
That she surely, surely must
Clean it up-Paint it up!
Are some buildings on the blink?
Clean 'em up Paint 'em up!
Are the spoutings in a kink?
Slick 'em up-Spic 'em up!
Are the ashes in a heap?
Do the pavings need a sweep?
Is the lawn the kind, to keep?
If you really want to sleep
With a resty, easy wink,
Clean 'em up-Paint EN- up!
Are the window glasses gray?
Wash 'em up-Wash EN- up!
Has the rubbish gone astray?
Burn it up-Burn it up!
Buy a little spade and rake,
Give the muscles all a shake,
For the lawn and gardens sake,
Never mind the pain and ache,
And our town will in a day
Be cleaned up to stay.

Germs Like Girls Better Than Boys

Germs Like Girls Better Than Boys
Fathers and mothers, lucky
enough to have both boys and girls
know how clean the girls keep
themselves, and how the boys dis
regard dirt. From earliest child
hood the little girls hands and
face are washed, and she evades
dress stains, combs her hair, and
tries to look nice. But every nor
bal boy. up to the age of fourteen
reveIs in dirt. and looks forward to
the Saturday night bath with virtu-
Gus contempt or dread. But boys
no not suffer infectious diseases as
much as girls. This was brought
out in an investigation made of
$500 children of all ages and sexes.
We requested the mothers them
selves to report what diseases their
children had had. Girls had had
more infections than boys of the
same age. This goes to support the
modern view that dirt and disease
have no necessary relation. 1t is
not the dirt boys revel in that does
harm. 1t is the germs in other peo-
pies bodies that should be dreaded.
The girls encounter infection more
than the boys because they are
more sociable, meet other children
more, and associate with them more
intimately than boys do."-Dr. Hill.
