INDIAN IS HEALTHIER
Uncle Sans. Fight to Save Race
! Is Bearing Fruit.
Traehoma Largely subdued In Schools
and Infant Mortality Once Ap.
T., paIling, Reduced. ~

Those who think of the Indians as
members of a dying race-nre not nc.
quainted with the progression the work
carried on In their behalf by Uncle
Sans department Of the interior.
To struggle against tuberculosis and
trachoma, and the fght5to lower n high
infant mortality rate, are generally
conceded to be the greatest problems
confronting medical men ofSthe Indi-
an office. Supplcmenting the work Of
regular agency doctors, special ply
sicians at intervals visit the various
reservations, performing eye opera
lions, caring for defective teeth and
spreading information.
Already trachoma has been very
largely subdued in the schools, and
such new cases as appear generally
come from outside. Acute cases arc
segregated and treated with regularity,
and at present large majority of the
cases known are among the old and
feeble. The unhealthy manner Of liv-
ing that marks the period Of transition
between the old life and the new Is
fast passing.
The building of sanitary homes Is
urged and the value Of clean food and
cooking utensils emphasized. AS re-
suit Of the campaign, there has been
within the last three years a very no.
ticeable falling off In the number Of
illnesses and deaths from tuberculo-
sis.
Last year structures valued at $775,'
1851 were built on Indian reserva.
tions, and included practically every
thing from frame cottages and office
buildings to heating plants and flour
mills and laundries.
The younger generation now knows
that a sturdy child grows into a sturdy
man, and great care is taken Of the
young mother in childbirth. Before
the present administration assumed
control, three-hfths of the little 1ndf-
ans died before they were five years
old. The Introduction and enforce
ment Of modern methods has reduced
this appalling percentage, and the
health Of the Indian is now, as whole,
far better than it has been at any other
time since he came under the influence
Of the white man.

Real Optimism,

"Still thinking Of buying a little

"Oh, yes" replied the optimistic flat
dweller. Il never stir the earth in my
window boxes with trowel that

"Why do you refer to me as wind

EAST ST. LOUIS.

East st. Louis would naturally be
thought part of St Louis, as East Bos-
ton, for instance, is part of Boston. In
fact, the two cities are separated not only
by the mile-wide Mississippi, but by the
State line dividing Missouri and Illinois.
OF course in Illinois Chicago is far and
away the largest city: but for second
place East st. Louis vies with Peoria
We have no mind to speak i'll of any
American city; but had we been asked in
advance where Senseless night and day
riot between whites and blacks would
lind fitting stage we might well have
answered East St. Louis. OF all our I'M
inviting towns, it is probably the drab
best and dreariest. It's wide long streets,
half-made, lie on the low prairie like a
crlss-cross raft in a mudhole It's build
lngs resemble those in the forlornest
parts of the Jersey shore opposite Man
hattan-ugly utilities on huge scale OF
assorted tenementS almost past the power
OF human affection to brighten into
homes. The outskirts of Charleston
with their shattered cabins and their fac
tories of "Fert. and Phos" appear tc
New Englanders most depressing region.
But beside the widespread sQualor and
sordidness of East ST. Louis they are as
the gardens of Khuhla Khan.
In this one-sided outbreak of race fury
our sympathies are with the victims-ex-
cept in one respect. They are being forced
to leave what is doubtless the least charm
ing municipality our American sun hurries

NORWAY REAPS HER SOWING

Norway is sending to this country COM
mlssloners who will ask for exports of
wheat, corn and oats. In the meantime
Germany is sinking her ships and killing
| her sailors. On the 18th of June the de-
| s1ructlon OF i've Norwegian vessels was
reported Only four of the men on one
OF them survived the German gunfire
and the lives OF all on another were taken,
In May forty-nine of Norway's ships
were sent to the bottom, and she has lost
25l since the tlrst day of January When
the submarines were engaged in this foul
work, well-known men in Norway were
exporting to Germany the nickel used in
making the torpedoes by which ships are
sunk. They had been doing this for two
years, and their suicidal export trade has
been subject of discussion in Norwegian
newspapers
The attitude of Norway's Government
is extraordinary. Commissioners COM
ing here to represent it in negotiations
I for food will not find it easy to prove
that they deserve any consideration
They can get no grain from Canada.
Ihey should have none that is produced
IN the United States, so long as Norway
falls to resent Germanys attacks upon
/ her merchant marine For a long time
she has been the victim of a one-sided
war. If she had shown evidence of man
lness and decent self-respect, and had
become war ally of her friends here and
| in Europe, she might reasonably ask for
/ a part of the food we can spare. Our
Government now has absolute power to
control exports and this power should be
exercised to the Disadvantage of Norway,
N. Y Times.
If Norway wishes aid from the United
States, she should be made to understand
that she must declare war against Ger
many and thus ally herself with US. She
must close her ports to Germany and
seize all German ships which are in her
harbors. She must open her ports to the
American navy and assist in destroying
the submarine bases which exist in Nor
wegian and adjacent waters If she will
do this she will be able in some degree to
atone for the harm for which she is re-
sponsible. If she will not do this let her

EFFICIENT RED CROSS WORK.

During the month of June American
doctors, nurses and enlisted men took
charge of six of the British great general
Held hospitals, releasing the English
stalls for duty near their fronts. Ameri-
can surgeons have been rendering valu-
able aid also in the forward casualty
clearing stations during the battle of
Messlnes. This has been the quickest
organized aid the United States has given
British arms in France and has been ap-
preciated.
The Americans have been impressed by
the cordially of their welcome as well
as by the thoroughness and effectiveness
OF the British hospital system So
smoothly have the transfers been made
that the Americans have taken up their
new work without even a moments up
set IN the routine of the various hospi-
tails. The Stars AMI Stripes fly with the
British Union Jack from each hospital
flagstaff, the two ensigns side by side in
the cool breezes that sweep in from the
sea.
| The British selected their hospital sites
| with the greatest care and have develop
ed them with a completeness that has
come from nearly three years field expe-
renee. Some of the general hospitals
are made up of tented wards, accommo-
dating forty to sixty beds each; others
are constructed of a series of huts. Both
styles are models of field comfort and
convenience; the operating theatres are
splendldly built and seem to lack nothing
In the way of modern surgical equip
| ment.
Originally planned for 1, O4O beds each.
virtually all the general hospitals have
been enlarged to !, 400 beds, and during
Crisis can accommodate 1000 patients
The units which have taken over the va
rious hospitals were organized by the
American Red Cross as Omitted States
base Hospitals" and with the declaration
OF war these stats were turned over to
the Regular Army for service as required
Each unit has brought along an organiz-
ing director who was a surgeon in civil
practice, but now takes command as
major in the United States Reserve, The
commanding officer in each unit is a
regular American Army surgeon. while
the subordinate members of the stats are
made up OF Regular Army surgeons and
doctors, commissioned from civil life
The nurses are all graduates of we'll
known training schools and will probably
be supplemented soon by voluntary aid
attachments OF young women workers
such as are now attached to the various
BRUSH stalls, The non-commissioned
orderlies and privates were practically all
taken from civil life but, in keeping with
the doctors and nurses, have settled into
their new work with marked efficiency
and enthusiasm.
Each American hospital staff has also
organized mobile unit for service in the
casualty clearing stations, Just back of
the firing lines, for emergency work dur
ing the first days of great battles. The
American hospitals present an interesting
International study with patients from
England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia
New Zealand and Portugal.
