HOUSING AND HEALTH.

The intimate connection between
bad housing and bad health and good
housing and good health Is clearly
recognized in Washington, where the
alley dwellings have long been a mat.
ter OF concern both to the health au.
thorities and to the public spirited cit
liens who wish the Capital city to be
an example to the Nation. The alleys
have been paved. sewers and water
mains have been laid in them, they
are lighted and cleaned as are the
streets. Yet they keep their old lead
over the streets when 1t comes to total.
ing the figures for disease and death.
In this, Washingtons experience
has been like that of Liverpool and
other European cities which tried I'M
successfully to make badly situated
dwellings wholesome by cleaning and
fumigating. After thirty three years
OF unavailing effort to improve that
which was fundamentally bad, Liver
pool finally decided that the only hope
lay in wiping out its insanitary areas.
II demolished the old houses by the
acre and In place of them built new
houses. Where dwellings have been
crowded so close together that there
vas scarcely passage room for a stout
nan to squeeze his way to one OF the
Id rear houses, II built new dwellings
pening upon wide spacos whicE. pro.
ided light and AFR Immediately sick.

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL.

Washington Democrat: We note by
the Sigourney Review that there is a
movement on foot for a county hos
pital, and We want to urge it on the
people of our neighbring county, the
good Of a county hospital. And we
have a right to say things for the hos
pital, as we were not always so dead
sure that 1t was the thing to do.
When our people first talked of a
county hospital, we were not enthus-
iastic about it, as it seemed, perhaps
more a fad, than a necessity. We
voted for 1t, but did it perfunctoriIy,
rather because of the habit of being
for things rather than against them
But we ought to have been for. it
stronger than horse radish, because
II has bee nthe best investment
Washington county ever made. We
believe every room is full right now
or most of them, and we honestly be.
Aeve that good many lives have
been saved, and cripples avoided, be-
cause they had treatment right at
hand. BY all means, we think Keo-
kuh county ought to vote fayorably
on county hospital.

ness and death decreased-and with
them vice and crime. What had seem.
ed a hopeless struggle for more than
generation was won.
Washington is attempting much the
same work, though in less dramatic
manner. Congress has enacted law
which goes into effect on Judy /, 1918,
according to which all the alley dwell
lings in the District of Columbia must
cease to be used for dwelling purposes.
Meanwhile, in order that there may be
accommodation for those who will be
forced to seek new homes in street
houses, there has been organized a
limited dividend company which is to
build houses that will be not only
sanitary, that will provide not only
abundance of light air, but houses at
.tractive architecturally, homelike in
their arrangements and continuing bath
rooms and provisions for hot water in
place of the old outdoor closets and
hydrants.
Such houses as these cannot, of
course, yield the return upon the in
vestment that the old houses did. In
fact Congress in its act Incorporating
the Ellen Wilson Homes, limited it's
dividends to five per cent net. But
they will yield to their stockholders a
dividend in the form of satisfaction
because of needed work we'll done.
To their tenants they will give relief
from preventables sickness and death
and an increase in the Joy of living
