LONG LIFE AND GOOD
 HEALTH MAY BE YOURS

A clergyman living near London was the father of thirteen children. The eldest, born December 31, 1868, was Herman Boerhaave, accounted by many the most famous physician not only of the 18th but probably of any century. He died of gout in 173S.
 He was an indefatigable teacher, sometimes featuring five hours a day to his students at Leyden. He was the first to give separate lectures on ophthalmology (the science of diseas- es of the eye) and to use a magnify ing glass in the examination of the eye. He combined with a desire to stndy disease at the bedside, a free dom from theoretical and philosophic- al influence which led him to use the most modern diagnostic apparatus which he could secure. He was so famous that a Chinese official once sent him letter addressed simply "To the most famous physician in Europe" His maxim was Simplicity is the seal of truth"
 The modern diagnosis of disease aims to employ every method which will reveal the exact mental and phys ical condition of the patient. Psycho- analysis will reveal the depths of the patients mind almost as clearly as the X-ray shows the broken bone hidden beneath the body tissues. The pres sure of the blood against the vessel walls may be accurately measured and appropriate means taken to ward off an appoplectic attack. The bodily excretions may be analysed and the efficiency of the excretory organs de- termined. Special apparatus permits the examination of the eye, the ear, the nose, throat, bronchi, and the in terior of various other parts of the body. Nothing is taken for granted; the blood is examined; the activity of the stomach is estimated; the validity of the nervous system is looked into. The modern physician finds the dis ease before he treats it.
 Accurate diagnosis is of importance to the public health because an early and correct knowledge of the presence of disease affords opportunity to prevent it's spread The case of tub erculosis which is found early has an infinitely greater chance of recovery than the one which is found late. Boerhaaye recognized these facts in general way and applied them, in fact, according to Rohlfs, he was the first who made chemical examina- tion of some of the bodily excretions.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Consider the elk, my son.

Consider the elk, my son.
 When the first white man settled in what is now the United States there were, according to calculations made by Ernest T. Seton, based on twenty years research, 10,000,000 elk in the country. In the days of Daniel Boone they were more than plentiful in Ken lucky and neighboring states. Natur- ally these elk, as we'll the buffalo, being of good size and fair flavor, made up the principal meat supply of of the people. It is fit and proper that native wild animals be used for food under such circumstances, so the decrease in elk cannot be blamed en- tirely on the early settlers--people long dead, and for this reason on whom we like to shift the blame for our own near sightedness in game protection.
 Dr. Hornaday, director of the New York Zoo, who has done much good work in the cause of conservation, says: "There is no reason, except mans shortsighted greed and foolish ness, why, there are not today 100000 elk living in the Allegheny mountains, furnishing each year 50,000 8 year old males as free food (and noble quarry) for the people. By sensible manage ment the Rocky mountains, the Sierra Nevadas, and the coast range would support enough wild elk to feed mill lion people," Emerson Hough says that elk were killed as late as 1865 at Spirit Lake, Ia., but now look what we have less than 60,O00 on the whole North American continent, ac- cording to Hornaday.
 It is true that the early settlers and "civilization" are partly to blame, but not nearly as much as our American happy-go-lucky, not to say boob, pro clivities. The hundreds killed by sportsmen and tusk hunters in recent years cuts bigger figure in our sup ply than did the hundreds of thous- ands killed by our grandfathers.
 It was only few years ago that bands of elk were driven from Yel- lowstone park by snow and lack of feed only to be slaughtered, does and youngsters along with the older males, by so-called "sportsmen."
 It seems to be the general impress sion that in order to be a conserva- list one must necessarily be "muck raker," "gloomster," and "rabid long hair," but such is not the case with us-we like to show the good with the bad. Consequently, we take pleasure in telling those who do not know that grand lodge of the B. P. o. F.. has passed a resolution discourag- ing the wearing of elks teeth as em- blems.
 The Elks we know personally are kindly, intelligent men-just about the last folks in the world who would knowingly injure anybody or any thing-and for this reason we have often wondered at their thoughtless- ness in encouraging tusk hunters, the most ignoble beasts that stalk about the earth today. Possibly they are not aware of the fact that thousands of elk have been killed for their tusks alone and the carcasses left to rot.
 So let's not weep over the past, sad as it may be, but be thankful for the elk that are thus saved by the ac- ton of the grand lodge.

CAMP A|G N AMONG SCHOOL
 CHILDREN

Miss Fannie E. BraytoR, principal of the local schools, intends to inaugu- rate a campaign among the pupils for the care and preservation of their teeth, and with that end in view has invited the professional men of Cor dova to cooperate in a talk, or series of talks, upon this subject.
 This idea is being carried out in all the larger cities. and was first commenced in the Marion school of Cleveland. under the supervision of a lady principal. The experiment proved that the efficiency of the child ren was so increased that although such service as free dentistry was given to the children at the expense of the city, 1t really paid a profit in dol lars and cents to the municipality Greater than repair Is prevention, and this is dependent upon the eo-opera- tion of each pupil, so that teaching along this line is the only course.

CANDIDATES ARE ALL WORKING
 FOh PRIZES

As the Daily Times subscription campaign progresses the stars of the contest shine brighter in their posi- Iion, and the more votes they receive the brighter will be the radiance, and the more laurels they will win. If you should have a favorite, MT. Read CT, in the list that appeared in yester- days issue and wish to see her sue cessful in her efforts there is still time to give her that assistance. There is just one day for double votes that will assist her in her efforts.
 Candidates should take little time and see if in their list of friends and acquaintances there may not be some one who would like the news and do- ings of this community; or if not, some of the boys who have gone to the front or who will go shortly make their journey to fight the battle of lib erty a trifle pleasant by sending them the Times, so that they may see who will be following in a short time. If you can not purchase a Liberty bond send some one of the boys at the front a rememberance as an Xmas present.
 After tomorrow evening the cam paign will pass into the hands of the judges, who will be the chief dictat- ors and the supreme disbursers of the prizes that the Times has placed for the winning, Their decision will be final and the awarding of the prizes will bring this campaign to a close. There are four prizes, and all are on display at the Northern Drug Com pany, which is the entire list. While it might seem to some that each should receive share of some kind, we think that the above list will excel anything that has been given as prizes in this section in the past, and it will be many days in the future before they will be equalled.

BRITISH BABIES DYING AS FAST
 AS SOLDIERS
(By United Press)

LONDON, May 24. - To make good the tremendous war toll on British manhood, a ministry of health will soon be added to the government, charged with the task of preventing 50,000 infant deaths every year. Au- thorities on infant welfare estimate that at least 1000 children, younger than one year, die needlessly every week. They declare that if the virility of the race is to be maintained in spite of the battlefield losses, this mortality must be checked. The esti- mate includes a large percentage of preventable prenatal losses, due to various causes arising from poverty.
 A falling birth rate, in spite of in creased marriages, will probably cause the baby bonus to insured mothers to be increased from seven dollars to $25. In 1915 England and Wales had the lowest birth rate on record, op- posed to the highest marriage rate. The provisional estimate of births in 1916 is only 22.6 to every thousand population, figure slightly above that of 1915.
 The proposed ministry will try to do away with overlapping efforts by various branches of the medical pro- fession. Lord Rhondda, in preparing the health ministry bill, will be aided by the advice of the British Medical Association, which represents most of the doctors The health minister will have power to act in all matters of public health. In addition to the $25 birth premium, it is hoped that poor mothers embraced in the insurance scheme will receive an increased sick benefit during convalescence.
 Right now 20 per cent of the school children are said to be too poorly nourished to reap the full benefit of their schooling If the estimated in fant mortality is found to be correct, England's loss of soldiers killed dur ing the winter only slightly exceeded the deaths of babies. Last summers losses on the Somme ran into many thousands every week and frightful casualties have been predicted in the house of commons for the coming summers fighting. It will be up to the health ministry to check the loss of potential soldiers and war workers.

THE BEAN BALL lS UP r OR
 ARGUMENT
(By United Press)


 NEW YORK, May 23 - The cele- brated and disreputable "bean ball" which has been charged to every ef- fective ball pitcher since the day curve ball pitching became a reality, is again going the rounds of the two major leagues. As a result there is d surplus of feeling when certain clubs get together.
 Carl Mays has been openly charged with using the old weapon. Dick Ru- dolph has been threatened with ami hilation by some hot-headed oppon- ents. Elmer Myers narrowly escaped a bat thrown by LawtOn Witt, team mate, to whom he was pitching in batting practice. Even Grover Alex ander has been charged with heav- ing the dangerous fast one.
 George Stallings, manager of the Braves, declares the charges flung at his pitchers are only part of con- certed effort to bring the Braves into ulol CDuNCs Ilt illolnlO Nlt DdI liCUltI reason for these efforts is known to him, and declares there will be a show down.
 Grover Alexander was shocked when some one suggested to him that he had been using his great speed to drive batters away from the plate. He had a novel defense of the high inside fast one he uses occasionally
 The batter, he explained, often steps back of the plate, standing close to the plate. As the ball approaches he steps forward and often is successful in meeting the ball before it breaks. The batter, he believes, does this more often if expecting a curve ball He expressed the belief that there is only one defense against tactics of tbis kind for the pitcher, and that is to pitch the high, fast ones inside, fore ing the batter to pop out or let the ball pass.
 "If we passably allowed a Eatsman to take that hop and smash they might as well all be fast ones," he declared, There are few pitchers to my know. ledge who deliberately aim at a bat ter's head to drive him from the plate, but they have to protect them selves. The batter is bringing dan ger to himself if he persists in step ping back and walking up on this fast one, for when 1t breaks it is likely to catch him." --.....z ,,.rer stars have been accused of throwing the bean ball." but it never has been fastened on any one.

The following from the Portland Telegram indicates the realization of Alaska's fish resources:
 "The lure of Alaska gold has ap- pealed to millions of men and women in this country, who are led to i'm agine that the land of the Midnight Sun is a great gold mine. As mat ter of fact the gold output in Alaska is about the same as the salmon out put in gross value. Where gold gets the best of the showing is in the fact that there is large outlay for cans and ships in the taking and packing of the salmon crop. The expense for equipment in mining operations is nominal in comparison. Here are the comparative figures for three years:
