RURAL HEALTH MACHINERY.

New civilizations are and can afford
| to be extravagant in the use of their natural
resources. Our ancestors in the midst Of seem
| ingly li1nitless forests did not need to give
thought to safeguarding fuel and building sup
! plies. When fields were new no thought of
! fertilization was necessary, because fertiliza-
! ton had been going on for ages. But already
wood is being replaced by cheaper building
materials and farmers have been compelled to
give attention to fertilization and to crop rOta-
ton to conserve and resuscitate soil production.
When there were but comparatively
few inhabitants in this vast country no atten-
ton was needed or given to sanitation. When
the site of an Indian settlement became foul,
the inhabitants needed but to pick up their
houses and move them to a new location. When
there were but few of them, the early white
settlers also could be comparatively Indifferent
| to sanitation. Pollution of soil and water was
of little moment when distances between in
habitants were great. What chance for
example, had a typhoid germ Of reaching a
victim when the odds were a million to one that
the drop of water which contained it would
never touch human lips?
But 'the good old days are gone!

becoming crowded. and distances, even in the
rural sections are being practically annihilated
by steam and electric railroads, and by high
speed automobiles. Already our large cities
have been forced-forced by circumstances-to
give attention to municipal sanitation. 1t is
unfortunate that as a people we need to be
forced by calamitie5 to give thought to prOtec-
tive agencies, but so it has usually BEEN But
we care learning gradually. The campaigns
against consumption and the terribly high baby
death rates are getting the facts home that
altogether too many innocent victims are being
sacrificed to ignorance and Indifference. And
so large wealthy municipalities are providing
adequately manned and adequately financed
health departments.
And just as the telephone, the water
system, the lighting plant, and the automobile
were seized upon by the farmer as soon as he
found they were as useful or as necessary to
him as to his city brother, so will he soon be
demanding for his children, his wife, and him
self, life and health conserving machinery
suited to the needs and limitations of rural life,
and he will pay the price just as readily as he
has for other luxuries and necessities.
At present many small Wisconsin
municipalities which have had a demonstration
of what visiting nurse attached to the health
department or school system could do to make
life and health m re safe for the rising gener-
alton, are Offering and paying good salaries for
permanent service.
