(By State Health Department.
Within recent years a change has
come in the viewpoint not only OF
physicians and sanitarians. but the
general public in regard to good
health. The physician a generation
ago was regarded by the public as
one to be called in to cure illness.
That health boards, physicians and
sanitary experts are doing far more
valuable work when they prevent
sickness is a comparatively new idea.
II is only recently that the public
has begun dimly to realize not only
the misery caused by illness, but the
tremendous economic loss resulting.
AS people have begun to appreciate
the immense benefits accruing from
health and the enormous bill present
ed by preventable illness, there has
been a growing demand, not only for
better sanitary conditions, but for
health insurance Health insurance
Is not an experiment. 1t has been
tried in other countries, notably Ger
many with excellent results.
Social Aspects Of Sickness.
The social aspects of sickness re-
ceived comparatively scant attention
until careful estimates recently COM
piled showed that 100000 persons in
the United States are sick at any one
given time; that each of the 100000 900
wage earners of the country loses on
an average approximately nine days
per year from illness; that the cost
of medical treatment is SlSOOOO,OOO,
and that the resultant annual wage
loss totals $500, 100000, in fact even
higher estimates have been made.
Wage studies show that the slender
savings of a large proportion of work
ingmen are inadequate to meet the
burden of sickness One investigation
revealed that sickness is very SER
ious disabling condition with IS per
cent of the families under the care of
the New York Charity Organization
Society. while the United States I'm
migration Commission of 1909 stated
that sickness was the apparent cause
of poverty in SS per cent of the 3l,4S1
charity cases studied. Until some
means are devised to prevent illness
and also to distribute its cost, sick
ness will continue to produce poverty
and dependence.
Unfortunately, although much of it
is preventable, there are few signs that
sickness in America is diminishing.
Instead. the deaths in middle life, due
10 degeneratiye diseases, have in

Odd Fellows Smoker.

The chief topic among the Odd Eel
lows here is the smoker and house
warming at their new hall next Thurs
day night. Every Odd Fellow, past or
present, will be there and a real good
time is expected by'all. Some excep-
tionally fine talent has been secured
and things will move with a relish,
when it comes TO Saying a word
as short talks by men (all Odd Eel
lows) who are not afraid to talk, and
who are choosing their own subjects,
have been placed on the program.
The members are passing >he word
around and it is their hope that every
Odd Fellow in the town, visitors also,
will be present on the night of the
22nd.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-06-16

creased in the United States 40 per
cent in the last % years. That this
condition is not inevitable or neces-
sary is shown by the fact that Prussia
under compulsory health insurance
during the same period improved its
national vitality and increased the av
erage span OF human life.
Effect Of Occupation.
The responsibility of phosphorus,
lead and other industrial poisons for
sickness is so easily demonstrable that
in some states workmen's compensa-
ton now covers not only industrial
accidents, but also diseases definitely
due to the occupation of the worker.
The extension of such compensation
would not, however, meet the whole
need because it would cover only
small portion OF the illness among the
industrial population. Nevertheless,
evidence is accumulating which shows
the relation between dust, fatigue, in
sanitary conditions and general i'll
health. Investigation by the German
government showed that for each 100
men engaged in the lime and cement
industries in Leipzig there were 90
cases of illness a year OF course many
of these illnesses were not serious.
Nevertheless, among office employees
in the same establishments there were
but u cases of sickness per 100 an
nually. a startling proportionate diff
ference. Each cement and lime worker
lost on an average of 1876 days per
year because of illness, the average
office employe but 5.S days. Evident
" health was not due solely to indi-
yfdual habits, but in large measure
to the industrial occupation.
To Decrease illness.
Already workmen are beginning 10
realize the acutness of the sickness
problem and have begun on a small
scale to make collective provisions
against it's evils. A few trade unions
offer sickness benefits and various
groups of workers have formed bene-
fit societies. Employers, too, have
recognized the need and have begun
to establish sick benefit funds for
their workmen. These provisions,
fragmentary as they are, show that
both workmen and employers recog-
nize the need for action. By purely
distributing the cost between work
men, employers and the state, the bur
den will be made lighter and econo-
mics can be effected which are now
impossible for the individual. More
over a comprehensive system would
not only be desirable in itself and re-
suit in direct benefits, but would sure
ly stimulate efforts to minimize ex-
pense and suffering by preventing
sickness and thereby improving the
general health of the nation.

WILL THERE BE AN ALLIED
DRIVE IN JULY7

II the allies attempt drive and
fail. then II Ia fair assumption thar
we have seen the end Of camp iign
ing. This does not mean that there
will necessarily be an end of the war
on the contrary many Of those who
oppose the drive assert that the true
defeat of Germany can be had BY
maintaining the prescnt lines anG
steadily tightening the blockade. II
the drive Is made It may cos. any
thing from half million to a million
casualties. If it succeeds in short H.
ing the German lines 1t will repay the
cost even If there be no decisive
victory and no immediate breaking of
the lines
But If the allies try and fail. the
moral effect will be beyond eXaggera-
ton and we may then see the first
real signs of peace. of peace based
upon the approaching exhaustion OF
all the contestants. such a peace as
marked the close of the great wars
between Louis XIV and the various
coalitions. peaces which in the main
were based upon the status quo ante.
This will make the allies exceedingly
cautious in the matter of undertaking
an attack But there Is good ground
for believing that popular sentament
in all the countries will, before the
summer is over, compel the venture.
Such information as came to me
pointed to the postponement of the
effort until July, because OF the
probable delay in munitioning Russia.
Again there is "A general feeling that
precisely az long as Germany con-
tlnues on the offensive herself, there
