Gifted Idiots,

Idiots have been known whose mem
DRY for names and words were so re-
tentive that they could repeat YER
bat1m and indicate where the preacher
blew his nose and coughed in his de-
livery. DR.. Moffat, the distinguished
African missionary and father-in- law
OF Dr. Livingstone. once preached a
long sermon to crowd of negroes.
Shortly after he had finished he saw
a number of negroes gathered about
a simple minded young savage He
went to them and discovered that the
savage was preaching his sermon over
again Not only was he reproducing
the precise words, but initiating the
manner and gestures OF the white
preacher.-Dondon Tit-Bits.

The following Health Message was
sent out by DR.. G. A. Harper Secre-
tary of State board Of Health:
"If the state board OF health could do
nothing more than teach citizens OF
Wisconsin that prevention is worth
more than cure, it would justify its ex-
istence. But so long as map is human
he is liable TO err, and health advocates
must do what they can to make men
realize the errors Of their ways hygien-
ically and physiologically.
Wisconsin is generally a healthiul
state. Its death rate has been mater
tally lowered in the last few years
through education and the application
of sound laws. 1t is the policy Of this
board in the coming year to continue
the campaign for rational living,
Good health depends not alone on the
taking Of medicine. Correct habits
and consistent principles Of living will
largely avoid that trouble and expense
"The past decade has seen wonder
ful interest in health subjects on the
part OF laymen. The newspapers find
no one topic Of more common interest
than this all important matter OF
health. They long ago recognized the
popular trend in this direction, and to-
day are rendering a distinct service In
the cause of prolongation OF life. The
state owes large debt to the press for
It's common sense attitude on and It's
participation in the fight against dis.
ease.
"To physicians OF the state the board
would urge q still better compliance
with the laws requiring the reporting
OF births and contagious diseases. Tc
nip contagion in the bud is not difficuli
IL the first cases are made known anC
properly quarantined and treated
Health officers AMI physicians have a
large duty TO the public Ia doing every
thing possible TO prevent the spreat
OF disease OF this type through accurate
diagnosis, prompt reporting, stric
quarantine and insistance on proper
treatment.
