Writer in American Medicine
is Of Opinion State Action
is imperative

In a recent issue of American Medi-
cine is contained an instructive ar.
ticle on anthrax, the disease which
has attacked three islands of the Ha'
waiian group this spring and sum-
mer, and which has made its appear
anee in several of the states. The
article classes anthrax as an indus
trial disease.
During 1915 and 1916" says the
writer. "a sudden increase in the num-
Der of deaths from anthrax in the
United States attracted attention to
its seriousness and its extent in the
United States. While anthrax has long
been recognized as a disease trans
mitted to man from cattle and sheep,
its frequent occurrence as an occupa.
tional disease had not been appreeiat-
ed up to a few years ago.
Persons who handle infected ami
mails naturally may contract the in
lection by immediate contact, but tho
groups of persons who handle ma
terials derived from infected animals
are also subjected to the hazard Of
this disease. Workers in wool, hides,
leather goods, brist1es, and hair OBJ
Eiously are exposed to anthrax, while
longshoremen. porters, and day labor
ers engaged in Transporting such ma
terials used in manufacture are SIM
ilarly in danger of becoming infected
by contact. .. ..,..-. r.

TO PREVENT SPREAD OF ANTHRAX

tics, there is one death from anthrax
lead poisoning. The total number OF
anthrax infections is approximately
five times the number Of fatalities.
Study Distinction
Industrial anthrax in Europe has
been attacked vigorously, and the
leading governments abroad many
years ago provided rules and regula-
lions for the strict enforcement Of
sanitary regulations for all industries
regarded as dangerous, in SO far as
anthrax was concerned. The methods
of disinfection of hides and hair have
been carefully studied, and sanitary
duties have been defined for all per-
sons employed in any establishment
involving the handling of dry or salt
ed hides, sorting, washing, combing
and carding wool, and goat, camel, and
horses hair. HYGIENE measures have
been codified and advocated to safe
guard the health and welfare Of en-
ployes working at any process with an
inherent anthrax hazard
1T is astonishing that the United
States has given the problem compar
atiyely little consideration, although in
"a safes legislation has been enacted
making anthrax a reportable disease
A few states require it to be reported
to the state department of health as an
occupational disease. American legis-
lation is particularly weak in the field
of prevention. In the absence of COM
polling regulations few employers
have of their own initiative instituted
the measures necessary to protect
their employees. On the other hand,
where wise and humane employers
have posetd regulations and given

or treatment Of its ravages. It is
probable that greater progress can
be made on the side of prophyIaxis
than In any other phase of the an
thrax problem. It is fundamental
however, that the general public be
impressed with the seriousness of the
disease and be educated concerning
its relationship to Industrial welfare.
Compulsory notification is only one
step in the solution Of the problem,
though it indicates where the disease
Is furnishing and the degree to which
the necessity for legislation exists.
State enactments are imperative to
place the prevention Of anthrax upon
a practical and enforeible basis 1t
required many years to secure the
passage Of the Esch bill which pro-

/. Judging from this and similar ex-
periences In securing social legisla-
ton, some time win pass before all
the states succeed in placing upon the
statute books the numerous laws ne

Here again is an opportunity for
state medical societies to utilize their
knowledge and power In behalf Of pub
lie health. The weight Of medical
opinion and the support Of organized
medicine should be focused upon
problems of this type. Medical men

was the mistress of man who paid
her bill at a local roomfng house. :
She was not before Juvenile Judge

offense was the, harboring Of girs

school, had ran away from the home

Asked where she was living, the
girl mentioned the name OF a local
rooming house which, more than once,
has been connected up with unsavory
juvenile and police court cases.

Time For Laws - Ill.,
1T is high time that state factory
laws were formulated and workable
regulations established, and insisted
upon in an attempt to decrease the
prevalence of this disease whose aver.
age mortality Is 20 per cent of its
incidence. In January, 1917, there be.
came effective an administrative or
der Of the federal departments of the
treasury and agriculture which pro-
bibits the importation of hides, hoofs,
wool, hair, or other products from
animals affected with anthrax, and es-
tablishes detailed requirements for
the disinfeetion of these products if
imported from districts where anthrax
is prevalent, and for the disinfection
of conyeyanees and of certain prem
ises.'
This order is supplemented in New
York state by recommendation of
the division of industrial hygiene of
the state Industrial commission, which
suggested and issued instructions for
physicians, employers and employees.
The real purpose WAS to secure the
complete reporting of cases of an
thrax and to link up the physicians
to industrial establishments dealing
in articles liable to be, infected with
anthrax
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed
to indicate the results of these ration
al procedures. They indicate stand
ards which might well be recognized
by state departments of health
throughout the country in urging upon
legislatures the Importance of anthrax
as communicable. contagious, and
infectious disease.

lus by Koch represents in a way the
birth Of the modern science of bac-
teriology. Despite the 40 years that
have passed, little advance has been
made in this country in the diagnosis

 HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Never in the history Of this eoun- try has this question been of such wit al interest to so many eeople as it is today. June 3. 1917.
 Never before has the United States Government been so deeply interest led in knowing the exact age of the young men of the land
 So that never before has the public mind been so ready to grasp the great importance of complete birth regis traEion.
 h ordinary times as the years go by and problem after problem is taken up and settled our civilization grows; and the more rapidly these. problems are taken up and settled the more rapidly this civilization grows.
 In ordinary times th continual de- mands upon our attention first by one problem and then by another easily ex- plains the temporary sidetracking in l SO many states of the problem of COMPLETE BIRTH REGISTRATION ] It is not because the people believe birth registration unimportant, but the problem has simply been crowd ] d 70 one side until a more favorable day.
 When the story is told Of the Am eriean arrested in London as Germ an spy, unable to obtain a birth cer- -ifieate because his birth had never been recorded and because the doc tor had died. but finally saved by the discovery O. an old letter which told of his birth. the people grasp the point and agree that births should be registered; but as the tory relates to somebody far away. somebody un- known. and proba bly, never heard of K before. the point is soon forgotten and TO wave Of strong public opinion is ever really started. So too the ed to prove men or voting age. to es- tablish old age pensions and pensions for the children of soldiers. to estab- fish rights of inheritance. to detern- inc how efficiently the states are pro- tecting the health Of the children. and Ito determine who is entitled to the protection of OUR FLAG-these state ments are too apt 10 be treated as old axioms which call for no immedi- ate reform.
 The need for complete birth regis tration is recognized but the inertia of the people still prevails.
 Thus in ordinary times the problems of civilization are settled slowly, but not so in time of war or after a great catastrophe. Then the emergency or bitter experience brings quick results.
