These discoveries so enriched tne

Medical Science Began.

S''''
Medical science began with the
earliest civilization and was thought
by primitive people to have been Tire
gift of the gods. Sanitation is, braod
ly speaking, branch of medical sci
ence, but whereas medicine has aim
ed to cure disease the function Of
sanitation is to prevent their spread
The terms public hygiene and
sanitation are practically synony
nous, but hygiene by itself is a per
sonal matter, and sanitation deals
with the environment. Dissemina-
ton of disease is prevented by the
safe disposal Of luman wastes, by
obtaining an adequate and pure wa
ter supply by control Of the sick and
by the general cleanliness of the
man and his environment

The way to make America better is to

The citizens of the land must discard the
abnormal for the normal. And the old ideas,
the ideas that we of New England are proud
to call our own, the ideas of soberness and
thrift, are the ones that will see the nation
through the crisis of the present to secure

Speaker, but progress is dangerous unless
one knows where one stands and whittier
one progresses. We can in the end go
farther forward by first going back a STEP

The Speaker sat silent tor f-54 -

dangersto which the roads to the right and
left and straight ahead lead. He smiled as
he spoke again.

There's fourth signpost at the crossroads,
pointing back along the way we've come.
And tits marked 'To.a Better America 1t

been coming up hill this latter part of our

we've travelled lies the safe road to better
America. We must go back.
"We must go back" he repeated. THE
people, dangerous number of the people,
are today living life of excitement and
pleasure, of restlessness and extravaganza.
They are thinking the thoughts of extrava-
gance and restlessness, of pleasure and ex-
element. And this is abnormal living and
abnormal thinking. 1t is far from the home

better understanding Of the farm
er's position they would readily
reverse their judgment. This wedge
of class hatred that has been,
either through ignorance or de-
sign, driven in between the pro-
,ducer and the consumer, the resi-
dent of the city and the ruralist,
should be withdrawn. Americans
want the truth and demand a
square deal.
Farmers are efficient producers.
In thousands of cases they apply
the highest skill that science can
suggest to their work. They are
producing the foods of the country
as economically as it is possible
under present conditions to pro-
duce them. But, as was suggested
at a recent hearing before the
House agricultural committee by
John D. Miller, representing the
national board of farm organiza-
lions. they are on the whole. poor
statesmen.
The foods they have produced in
years past with so much care and
toll have been marketed in a form
and manner that has left them
price almost continuously below
the cost Of production. They have
learned that singly they can do
nothing and in many parts Of the
the country they have concluded
they must market collectively or
not market at all.
