BETTER WAGES,
BETTER HEALTH

WASHINGTON, Dec 3O.-Better
wages means better health, and until
a way can be found to eliminate eX-
tremt poverty physicians are batter
ing against q brick wall in their en-
deayors to improve the general health
standard. Major General Gorgas, sur
gccn general Of the United States
army, today told the American Civic
association
"Physioians have located the great
est general cause of ill-hcalth and
poverty" he said. The best work
that civic and social organizations
can do now is to cooperate for bet
ter wages, which will be followed Inn
mediatcly by better living conditions
and better health"
General GorEas said one Of the
chief reasons why the health prob
lem has been solved in the Panama
canal zone was because there had
been no cases Of extreme poverty
there
Today's session Of the civic con-
venuon was devoted largely to the
discussion of city planning.

in Police Patrol.

Becoming wild and unmanageable
j. II. Akres, delrium trcmens pa
tient, managed to tear away from two
male keepers at l o'clock this morn
ing and dashed out Of the Tulsa hos
pital. The police were notified and
several officers went TO the scene in
the patrol auto. Akres was taken to
the station where he spent the night.
The patient was committed to the
hospital yesterday by his employer, T.
L. Genet, and was suffering from
alcoholism. He soon began to grow
!rritated and created so much disor-
der that the patients were disturbed.
Two men were sent to the hospital
to attend him.
Throughout the night he was un-
Manageable and finally made a mad
dash from the hospital His attend
ants captured him before he got off
the grounds and held him until the
arrival of the police.
II is said that Akres is a foreman

Miss Blithers was not at the ball.
She was in New York city serenely
enjoying one of the big summer
shows, accompanied by young SEQ

middle aged gentlewoman who had
seen even better days than those
spent in the employ of William w.
Blithers. The resolute young lady
had done precisely what she said she
would do. and for the first time in his
life Mr.. Blithers realized that his
daughter was creation and not a
mere condition. He wilted like a
famished water lily and went about
the place in a state of bewilderment
so bleak that even his wife felt sorry
for him and refrained from the 81

In the first place, mere words would
prove to be not only feeble, but &C
tually out of place. Any attempt tc
define the sensation of awe by re-
course to a dictionary would put one
in the ridiculous position of seeking
the unattainable. The word has its
meaning. of course, but the sensation
itself is quite another thing. AS ev-
