SAYS hl lA!ltSS Dly
IM?2AC|I:l FOR
SMALLER HOTELS
}. M. DEDMAN GIVES HIS REASON
FOR NOT ADOPTING PLAN
At BETHEL HOUSE.
PUBLIC NOT RtADY FOR n
Food Conservation Committee Seek
ing Adoption Of Meatless Days In
All Homes and Cther places Where
People Eat.

ut is impractical for hotels in
towns the size OF Columbia to have
meauess days" said J. M. Dedman
proprietor of the Bethel House, Tues
day night, when asked by Herald
.'eported what his attitude toward the
ood conservation movement in this
city would be. II would like the best
in the world to do anything can to
nelp in all the war activities" said
Mr.. Dedman. "but this meatless day
proposition is not feasible for hotel
IN city of this size 1t works ali
right in large cities where the hotels
ave market from which they can
select menu that gives many sub
stitutes for meat"
In further explanation of his posi-
tion Mr.. Dedman said that before
hotels can successfully inaugurate
meatless and wheatless days 1t will
be necessary to first create senti-
ment for them among the travelling
public. He said that he had been
watching the NOV ement with view
to adopting it but that his information
from hotels in cities OF Columbia s
size was that it had been a failure.
"As soon as the public is ready for
meatless days in hotels will adopt
that plan," he said.
The food conservation committee OF
women have already secured an
, agreement from the proprietors Of
boarding houses in Columbia to have
meatless days, and there will be a
vigorous effort through educa t'0--rs
methods to bring about sentiment
throughout this section for meatless
days in all homes. hotels. boarding
houses, restaurants and wherever hu
man beings eat.
On meatless days it. is permissible
| 10 eat fish, oysters, chicken. rabbits
or any other kind of sea food fowls
| or game. The object of the moyemen,
is to conserve pork, beef and mutton
meats that can be shipped In large
quantities, for the provisioning OF the
soldiers of America and the allies o.
This country.

SMALL FAVoRS TRAINING"
High School Principal Says It Is
Needed.

Military training conceived as a
comprehensive program of physical
moral and civic education is desirable
and even necessary" in our schools,
according to DR.. w. S. Small, prin-
cipal of Eastern High School, in a
chapter on educational hygiene in
the annual report OF the Commission
er Of Education. Department of the
Interior.
Military training in the schools
conceived as military drilling" he
adds, "is undesirable and unavaiIing" "
When undertaken in the former
spirit, DR.. Small says. military train
ing 'Offers a possibility OF unifying
and ennobling the now confused and
disjointed activities in the field of
physical and moral discipline.
The physical and moral values
OF both gymnastics and ath-
letics are well understood, but both
lack comprehensive and unifying mo-
tive. All systems of gymnastics are
individualistic. Their appeal is to
the desire of the individual for phys
ical perfection"

POPULAR MEDICINE.
BY DR.. HIRSHBERG
Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.
BY DIR. LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

BY DR. LEONARD X. HIRSHBERG.
All sickness is expensive. 1t has
been estimated that at birth an i'll
baby costs about 800 more than II
would otherwise. The money value
OF healthy flve-year-old child Is said
to be about 81 1000, while an ailing
child of that age may be q thousand
dollar loss to his family.
According to Prof. Irving Fisher,
the pecuniary worth OF q ten-year-old
boy is $4,000, of a twenty-year-old
youth, $4,000. At 80, man reaches a
maximum of productive value, to wit,
81, 100, after which the productive
earning power OF the average man de-
clines from $4,000 at 40 to $7Oo at so.
Millions Lost Yearly.
II the people-that Is to say, the
average person-were to put into ef-
feet what they know, Il is estimated
that there would be surplus CT
81 900, ,0O0.O 900 to 81 SOC. .o0c, 900 to di-
vide among themselves. In other
words, at least one thousand millions
of dollars are lost in the United
States each year, because all of us
are not practical enough to employ
what we are taught and because we
do not make the facts OF disease pre-
vention actually available for every
body.
Smallpox still darcs up because a
compulsory law for revaccination
every fve years is not enacted.
Each person Ill six weeks with ty-
phoid fever costs his family in actual
outlay, loss of others time and ef-
ficiency and similar leaks at least
z nnO a-I nnn Nko
rest of his life, because of decreased
earning power. Similarly, Prof. Irv-
ing Fisher has the facts to prove that
each death from typhoid costs $4,000
and each one from tuberculosis costs
$4,000.
Why do you not arouse yourself to
receive this health dividend Of
81 900, ,OOo,o 900 to $500 100000? You
are student enough to know how very
many diseases and deaths arsprevent-
able. Are you not business-like
enough to put your knowledge to
your own use-in your LIES savings
bank?
Therefore, go at once and take all
the preventive measures you can.
Repeat all vaccinations every i've
to seven years.
Improve the milk OF your village,
town, neighborhood and city.
Use lockjAw and diphtheria anti
toxin as a preventive, early and often.
Boil your drinking water, no matter
how. pure your supply.
Destroy flies and mosquitoes in the
winter and work even harder to de-
stroy them in the summer.
Paint your walls. floors and ceilings
often.
Shun overeating and all drinking
other than water, milk and other
nourishing fluids.
Insist on the best medical attention
and nursing when necessary.
Learn what you can from visiting
nurses and hospital attendants, but do
not store such knowledge in the re-
cesses of your mind. Use IT.
Remember, sunlight outdoors is bet
ter than fresh air alone, indoors or
out. Use your muscles more and your
sentiments less.
