BUREAU Of HEALTH
IN CABINET URGED
A.. E. Holder Of Vocational
Board Proposes Union Of
All Agencies With Head.
WAGE STATISTICS QUOTED

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 9.-Good wages
generally mean good health. accord
the federal board for vocational ed
ucation. The higher the wage the bet
ter would be the health Of the en-
ployS and the greater his output, he
told the American Public Health As
ISOLATION today in an address in
which he advocated an eight-hour day
and increased wages. Mr.. Holder pro-
posed that the federal health agen-
cies be concentrated into one Depart
ment' with q secretary at its head,
and that the secretary should be .
member Of the Presidents cabinet.
Panics, said Mr.. Holder, were
brought about more by negotiable
distribution Of wealth than by any
other cause. He quoted statistics to
show that in 1850 the wage Garner
obtained 23A cents OF every dollars
1910 he got only 1871 cents. He added:
Formerly, when the 1aborer got %
cents in wages for each dollar of his
product, panics occurred about once
in twenty years, as witness 1887,
1857. 1877. Since real wages shrunk
to 16 cents on the dollar. panics roll
around more frequently as the record
shows-1SS4. 1894. 1907. 1914.
Energy Is Wasted.
Nothing influences our individual
health more than severe changes in
our economic life. During busy pc
RODS workers are literally rushed to
death. During panicky periods the
workers and employers spend large
part of their energy fretting their
lives away.
"Since the union cigarmakerS adopt
ed the eight-hour day in 1886, from
twelve to fifteen years have been add
ed to the average life of the cigar
makers" he added. similar expe-
riences have been recorded by other
organized wage earnerS. The work.

tai. To keep health or improve health
means increased power to produce"

NAVY GOOD.HEALTH
DUE TO SANITATION
Surgeon General Ascribes
Low Death Rate to HYGIENE
System Enforced.

The Nays excellent health and low
mortality rate during the war Is at
tributed by Rear Admiral BREASTED,
annual report, largely to the increas-
ing appreciation by commanding off,
GERS Of the rules of hygiene and san
itation. Where defects in the health
system have developed, he says. the
blame falls largely on the country's
unpreparedness for operations Of
such magnitude.
Accounts for Increased Rate.
Compared with an annual rate Of
81 per thousand for the ten proceed
ing years, the rate rose during the
first quarter Of this year to SO per
thousand per year. That, DR.. Braisted
finds. was due ITO the unfortunate
ana unavoidable combination Of cir
cumstances brought about by the
rapid expansion Of the Navy and the
unusual weather conditions in the
first quarter Of the year. The death
rate for the second quarter was low,
3.3, a figure closely approaching the
average for peace times
Dr. BfalSIeQ expects the HOSpitdl
admission rate for the calendar year
of 1918 to prove to be lower than the
peace time average despite expansion
Of personnel and unusual conditions.
During the year 1913 men were
drowned. thirty died from exposure
and forty-seven were killed by gun
shot wounds.
War Dispe1s False Impression.
The war has served, DR.. Braisted
says, to clear the regulations of the
men Of the Army and Navy Of the
impression in the public mind that
diseases due to social evils were more
prevalent in the service than outside.
Service doctors have contended all
along, he adds, that the ratio stood
three to one in favor of the trained
service men, and statistics compiled
by the provost marshal general on
the first draft support them.
The Navy medical department be-
gan an organized fight against these
diseases fifteen years ago, the report
says, and the demands Of the country
now have been aroused until a ma
tionwide campaign is being wased
not only against the diseases them
selves, but also against the underly-
ing social conditions on which they
flourish.
