AUGUST
PROMOTING PUBLIC HEALTH.

EVERYONE should feel an interest in the public heann
Il conference to be held here next Tuesday, under the
auspices Of the Oklahoma Association for the Prevention
of tuberculosis and the State Board OF Health. Many
NAV forget il because Of the fair festivities, but il must
inevitably prove a source of help to all, whether they notice
Il or not. Nor IS it uniting, it seems to us, that 1t should
convene at this time. The state is displaying fine products
as evidence Of its great assets and resources, an inpres-
sive exhibition, and helpful to the states advancement But
no state has an asset comparable TO the good health Of
its people, and all efforts for its Improvement and promo
ton merit the support Of every citizen. 1t has been SAID
and not without basis on fact, that governments, state and
national, expend more on safeguarding and improving the
live stock than in safeguarding the health Of the people, but
in this conference is evidence OF an awakening to the needs
Of this state in stamping out disease among the human
race. and a striving to improve the general health.
On the eve of this meeting it is well to impress upon
the people the large task ahead Of the organizations en-
gagged in this public health work The anti tuberculosis
society would have a long fight ahead, had it no other aim
than the elimination Of the white plague. tuberculosis
claims more victims than war, and war itself auguents
its list of sufferers. This has at least been the case
in European countries, and from American forces many
have been discharged who developed the disease since en-
terinp the nations service. These and other infected ones
must receive proper care, If they are to have a chance OF
recovery, and must also be taught how to prevent dis
seminating the germs among others, that healthy persons
may be protected And no less important is the campaign
Of education which shall teach the robust how to remain
that way. The association has the machinery OF organiIa-
ton and training to undertake that task, and has already
accomplished murh incidentally, in guarding against
phthisis, il shield rom other ills, and improves living
standards in a ms to strengthen the race.
We are showing a greater Interest in public health
work, as is indicated by the health surveys held here and
in other cities Of the state this year. These surveys,
which will be reported at length at the approaching con
ference, have pointed out many shortcomings in the cities
concerned, and succeeded in correcting them to a great
extent Unquestionabiy the good thus accomplished will
also have an influence in other cities where no surveys
have yet been held.
Practically every county in the state will be represented
at this meeting. which is sure to result in added impetus
10 the work. And It may be said in closing that there never

How public spirited citizens Of Oklahoma City can be
relied upon to carry any worthy project through to victory
was well illustrated in the recent drive for the 10000

was a shortage Of 23l4 In order to complete the fund
by 100 o'clock, a group Of men who had already given
literally, pledged themselves anew for another hundred
dollars each. Theirs was a fine and patriotic generosity,
for there is patriotism in backing the home town to the
limit, as we'll as In supporting the nation In war

German press comment on President Wilson's reply to
the Austrian note is largely in the nature of a whine.
But it does indicate that it is dawnins on the Hun that
the allies are out TO whip him, and to end for all time the
menace Of the German war machine. II the destruction
Of Germany is necessary to attain that end, then Germany
will be destroyed. Our terms have been stated. and is
Germany will not accept them otherwise, the allies are de-

was a time when that impetus was more needed, Not that
the work Is tagging, which II isn't. but because the demands
on the nation give health a new importance. Sickness is
a handicap and a liability. The sick not only cannot work
when there is so much work to be done, but they require
the care and labor of others to sustain them in their suf-
fering, and help them toward recovery. War makes I'm
usual demands on doctors and nurses, hence there is an
added reason why the individual should learn to care for
himself, Therefore all should follow with interest the pro-
ceedings of this conference; it gives a large opportunity
for learning,

And fancy frocks all In a row.

For gentle danes and busy men,

And later wandered back again.

And fussy furs for chilly cline.

Those who love say habilaments.
The Sporty suits for little chaps
He saw, ard dresses for the tots,
And silk kimonos made by Jsps,
And finery In Wholesale lots.
The dainty lingerie display
He silmpsed, then looked across the
street
like Kelly did, then on his way
To other visions and repeat.
And everywhere were works OF art,
OF glad investiture and smart,
Which fashions foibIes now drmAnd.

For the politicians, politics is never adjourned. and both
parties will play the game as much as they can conveniently
this fall, but they will play to smaller audiences than usual.
That, we should say, is the main difference, except that they
must go further in search Of the ammunition for their clash
Of words and votes.

Arthur Brisbane's admission that he borrowed money
from the brewers with which to purchase the Washington
Times, helps to explain why Arthur has always been so
strong for beer and light wines. Beer and light wines aren't
as bad as whisky, but that doesn't warrant championing them
as something good and worthy. Unless, ~perchance, one has
been financed in a large way by the beer barons.

Wars By-Produet.

Is this world war an unmitigated
evil? Is il an snalloyed curse with no
benefits whatsoever aecruing from II 20
the human race? The answer TO that
question depends almost entirely on the
angle OF vision, the point OF contact, or
the temperamental disposition Of the
inquirer
Samuel Johnson, the great English
philosopher, used TO repeat his fav-
orite axiom: "The habit Of looking at
the bright side Of things 10 worth more
than a thousand pounds year."
This world conflict has already pro-
duoed a score Of valuable by-products
not to be measured In the terms Of
world fnanciers.
II has transformed ,ids nation, stead
lily tending towards Grass commercial
ism into one now ahame with the
noblests forms OF idealism.
II has replaced a dangerous ex-
travagance and growing luxury with
habits Of economy and thrift among all
classes.
Il has checked narrow exclusive
spirit and fostered feeling Of genuine
democracy.
II has begun the movement looking
towards the changing Of large COM
munties speaking almost exclusively
some foreign tongue in churches and
public schools into American COM
munities where the English language
alone shall be the dominant tongue.
II has advanced the temperance cause
by leaps and bounds. and has produced
more advanced legislation during the
past four years than occurred during
any previous four decades Of the worlds
history.
1t has broken down religious pre-
JUDGES and sectarian bigotry In the
soldiers camps at home, but especial
Iy in the trenches abroad and already
has done more to prepare the way for
a future united church than all other
influences combined have been able
TO do the previous century.
n these ars among the sy-pfoducts,
who shall value the Rnal results when
militarism and autocracy shall finally
succumb and the great ideals OF Eng
land, France and Italy, but especially

countries-the United States ofAmeriea
shall be regnant in this now war
cursed world.

The party, including the chair of

The initiation was to have taken
place in the afternoon, but was put

a good alibi on his belated appear

AS a result Of the delayed initiation
the banquet did not take place until
after midnight. Those Miamians who
remained for the banquet did not
leave West Palm Beach until about
3 O'Clock this morning and came drift

There was considerable sport on
the street when the local delegation
