TESTING J1NGL.ES
Resolutions,
By o. Bonney Brink


The old years gone; the new
year came and / am quite content.
| paid no heed the quitting game
the seasonable event. 1 did con-
slider for awhile, a New Years
resolution, but later let my will
bcguiIe my mental constitution l
had in mind my jimmy pipe and
can of English curve, but when
the time to quit was ripe l simply
lost my nerve. So as the old year
slipped away to make room for 19,
l crammed my briar- full of hay
so rich in nicotine. My dear old
pipe with crusty bowl, when thou
art filled and lit, the odors that
from out thee roll for kings TO
breathe are fit. The imprint of
my teeth are left set deep into thy
stem-so often have I held thee
there to Salty a within. The magic
traceries of smoke that rise from
thee, indeed, are often thick enough
to choke a lover of the weed. l
fain will give thee up at death,
but now thou giveth cheer cen
though my clear Havana breath
pollutes the atmosphere. Some
fellows took the solemn oath to
throw away the briar, but as the
time drew near were loath to prove
themselves a liar, and when the
bells commenced to sound-there's
no use TO deny 'er-al resolution
hopes were drowned by that old
smoke desire. I CHANGED to be\one
Of the bunch disposed to under
take to quit the weed, but had a
bunch the new resolve would
break. And so I'd rather honest
be the while 1 roam this sphere,
for where I'll go 1 can't decree, so
I will smoke while here.

DISEASE COSTS
REACH BIG sum
State Announces Expenditure of.
$154,SSI,6S5 for Preventative
Sickness in Year.

Springfield, H., Jan. 16.-The
cost of preventative sickness in the
state of Illinois for the year ended
July 1, 1918. reached the staggering
total of $154. 1881, 6S5. according to a
statement issued today by DR.. C..
St Clair Drake, director of the state
department of public health. This
represents an average per capita
cost Of $24.67 to each man, woman
and child in the state for illness
which, with proper precautions,
could be avoided.
In order of their annual cost to
the state through sickness and
death, the several diseases embrace
ed in the study just completed by
the state health authorities rank as
fellows: tuberculosis, $114, 905, 500;
pneumonia, $50, $50; typhoid fe-
>gor, $3,O06,900; malaria, $2,66O,S6O;
diphtheria, $1,156,625; whoOping
cough. $7S5,220; smallpox, $685.
600; infantile paralysis, 1851, 500;
measles, $456,02O; epidemic spinal
meningitis. $425,70O; scarlet fever,
$38S,30O.
1t is interesting to note that the
sO-called simple" diseases of child
hood, whooping cough and measles,
which are so lightly regarded in
most communities as not to be sub
ject to serious control, cost the peO-
pie of Illinois the tidy sum of ST.
1871 ,240 in a single year.
In announcing this appalling
waste, DR.. Drake states that the de-
partment of health statisticians
have given the subject exhaustive
study and have been very cOnserva-
tive in their estimates of cost, the
total being an underestimate rather
than an overestimate.
In a bulletin which the state de-
partment of health is preparing on
this subject, the details of the study
are fully set forth, the losses sus-
tanned by each of 1O2 counties of the
state being given. In some counties
The losses are exceedingly high, the
per capita for Kendall county being
1924, while in Hardin county the
loss amounts to 297 per cent of the
total assessed valuation of that
county for purposes of taxation.
Bearing in mind the fact that this
enormous annual loss in treasure,
health and life, is caused by pre-
ventable diseases and could be
avoided, one is forced to the conclu-
sion that the matter Of public health
protection is not being given the
serious consideration and attention
it demands. negligence in this re-
Rpect amounting almost to Grimm
atty. Certainly there is truth in
the statement that nothing is held
so cheap as human life"
