In "A commercial nation everything is
placed on a commercial basis. The dollar

We must get the interested cooperation
Of the public for public health and

IAN that is necessary for the public
health OF a community now Is for that
communlt, to he intelligent enough TO

business interests get four times as
much from the Government, for care ard

Public Health Service gets for the care
Of human health. Humanity must be
put above commerce, We should have
skilled men AT work for the public health
everywhere. and each worker should
receive a salary equal to the economic
