H. Ince's million dollar spectacle,
Civilization" as the attraction at the
Casino on Dec. 20. Civilization" is
the last word in screen successes.
When originally presented at the Crit
erion Theatre, New York city, where
lit still remains, it attracted the at
tention of every dramatic reviewer,
clergymen and amusement seeker in
the great metropolis; in fact, it be-
came the sole topic of conversation
because of it's message to humanity.
1t is not denied that Civilization" was
conceived and produced for the sole
purpose of terminating the great war
now raging in Europe. Neither can it
be denied that it has had potent eff.
feet in this direction, as witnessed by
the comments Of those responsible for
the continuation of the strife. To ap.
preciate the beauties and to under
stand the message of "Civilization"
one has to see it personally, because
it is a personal message to every
thinking person.

Address On Health Conditions Delivered

their demands
Disease is an entity, not a spirit.
'ual thing; condition, not a theory;
consequently it is to be fought, and
if possible conquered with matter
force, and physical means, though
not necessarily with violence. There
fore we should use every precaution
conducive to the prevention of dis
ease and every method whereby dis
ease is restricted by suppressing it's
predisposing conditions and destroy
ing the exciting causes which ac-
complished by sanitation and disin-
lection the defensive and aggres-
sive part Of prophylaxis.
We shall soon learn that purity of
the external media and environment
Iof the body is essential to it's well
fare. In other words, if we
strengthen the resistant powers of
the system to the fullest extent and
remove all predisposing conditions,
in all probability the exciting causes
will be imperative in most cases, and
there will be little or no incurrence
of disease.
The essence of sanitation is to Sc
cure perfect health, to increase the
inherent power to resist noxious
and harmful influences, and to make
all the surroundings and environ
ments of the body safe and free from
depresant factors. The best means.
therefore, of preventing disease is
TO learn and apply the best methods
OF attaining and retaining a healthy
ana vigorous state of the system by
determining and observing the laws
of hygiene.
You will find in your efforts to
educate the general public upon this
subject that most people measure
the Importance of thing largely by
its cost in dollars and cents. Human
life and suffering have no definit.
cash value. But recently sanitar-
ians and health authorities are no
longer appealing to the sentimental
and humanitarian aspect of pre-
venting disease, but are reducing it
to terms of dollars and cents, appre-
ciating that the commercial aspect
will appeal to many who are not
otherwise interested in health prob
lens. shall quote some figures
given by DR.. VanDine of the United
States Bureau of Entimology, who
has made study of conditions on
