live to himself alone. Every act that
man does affects his fellow men
for good or evil, as a pebble dropped
into pool Is felt at the fartherest
shore.
1t is equally true that each indi-
vidual is affected by the acts OF
others. The prosperity and happia
ness of each is largely dependent on
the conduct and welfare of all others.
Personal high moral conduct and
obedience to law does not protect one
from the immortality and lawlessness
of his neighbors. The only safety
for the individual lies in universal
law and order.
This truth has special significance
when applied to the question Of
health. Health is largely matter
of community and state control. The
belief that a person, merely by per-
sonal cleanliness and rational living,
could safeguard his health has been
shown countless times to be only
partially true. The neglect of your
community to provide safe drinking
water or a sewer, the unsanitary con-
dition Of your neighbours clubhouse
or corral. or the failure to enforce
quarantine may multiply all your
precautions. The carelessness or in
efficiency of health officers and sani-
tary inspectors, or the failure of the
courts to impose proper penalties for
the violation of health laws, or the
false economy which refuses to pro-
vide salaries and expenses for health
protection may expose the entire COM
munity or state to serious epidemic.
The unwillingness of legislature ~
make adequate appropriations for
the State Board OF Health may make
Intellectual the whole body of health
laws and regulations and endanger
the health and general welfare Of
every resident of the state.

MANY NOT REGISTERED
COUNTY FIGURES SHOW
Returns From Draft Enroll

Delinquencies.

Two hundred Missoula county
men are believed to have avoided
or neglected registration under the
conscription act Tuesday. County
officials We're not prepared ycstor-
day to estimate the extent of the
delinquency or their plans for cop
ing with it, but they admitted that
they had reason to suspect a short
age. Some of the questionable
things about the draft registration
in the county are these:
Only four negroes Were enrolled
in the whole county:
Bonner, where anti registration
literature was circulated, register
ed only 14S, many less than the
expected-total;
Only 23 alien enemies We're reg
istered in the county.
Many merely neglected to reg
lister. apparently, for yesterday
several persons reported to County
Clerk Babington. They were al
lowed to register in accordance
with instructions received yester-
day from Governor Stewart, saying
that the government will exercise
a liberal policy in dealing with
late-comers. Men who have not
registered may safely do so still, if
they act promptly.

between the kidnapping Of the IA
months old son OF J. H. Keet, wealthy
young retired banker of Spring gfield.
and the alleged plan to kidnap &. A.
Clement. Springfield jeweler, was
thought to have been established by
the police tonight with the arrest OF
George Walker, a chauffeur.
The five men and one woman held
before Walkers arrest all are charged
with attempting to kidnap Clements.
The alleged confessions also connect
them with a plot to kidnap Il baby here
and a st. Louis munitions maker.

tonight still was as great a mystery as
at any time since he was missed one
week ago. Mrs. keet. the mother. to-
night was reported on the verge OF
