ton. He wishes the field left to him
and the Republican opponent. His
self-reliance reveals the man. No
doubt it proceeds from excellent
judgement as to the situation. Never

spirit of confidence as to the result,
leave undone anything that might
contribute to making the Democratic
victory in the Eighth District all that
in the circumstances it should be.

PREDICTS ANOTHER
EPIDEMIC OF FLU
State Health Officer, DR.. McCor-
mack, Gives Some Timely
Advice On Subject

Reasoning by analogy, there will
be another outbreak of influenza in
Kentucky this fall, according to DR..
Arthur T. Mccormack, State health
officer, who addressed the Red
Kentucky this week.
statistics show, he said "there
has always been an outbreak the first
and second years after the epidemic,
not as extensive as the epidemic
itself, extensive enough to cause a
radical increase over the ordinary
death rate"
According to DR.. Mccormack, A.
900 die from pneumonia in the state
every year while last year $4,000 died
this cause. Reasoning from our
own and previous epidemics,V he
said, "if no precautions are taken the
death rate this year will be between
5000 and 100000. .~aoi,.
"That death rate is wholly unneces-
sary," continued DR.. Mccormack.
"The death rate should be nothing
like 1000 and year if every individual
in every county of Kentucky would
assist by doing the simple things
necessary. If they would do this now
the death rate in 1919 would be less
than in 1917, when there was no cpl
demic." i.
In the first place, DR.. Mccormack
advised everybody to be inoculated
against inAuenza-pnuemonia during
the last two weeks of August or the
first two weeks of September. The
vaccine used is very simple and pro-
duces practically no reaction, Of
more than 100000 inoculated last
year only three died of pneumonia,
according to the State health officer.
DR.. Mccormack also advised, in
addition to the innoculation, that
when one takes a cold he should take
the prope, medicine and go to bed,
remaining there until he is well. His
room should be well-ventilated and
he should avoid coming in contact
with any members of his own family.
Especially should one having cold
keep away from theatres, churches
and other places where crowds are
gathered.
"If every one would do this" DR..
Mccormack asserted, "there would
be no--epidemic and practically no
deaths from influenza and pneu-
monia." 1r'
Every year in Kentucky there are
$4,000 deaths from preventable dis
eases, he said, but conditions are
gradually improving. Since 1910
for instance, the death rate from
diptheria has been reduced one-tenth
because antitoxin has been given in
time and because the disease is
now recognized more quickly. The
typhoid fever death rate has also
been reduced so per cent in that
time.
"But what we ought to do", said
DR.. Mccormack, "is not only to re-
duce the death rate, but eliminate
the diseases themselves in these
classes. This could be done at much
less cost than the people of Ken
lucky have now.
at is true few more doctors
would be necessary, but in the long
run much money would be saved. An
individual cannot purchase health,
but compunity can by establishing
proper conditions"
health department in every county OF
the State as rapidly as it is possible
to provide trained officers.
"It would be easy to elect one to
this Office as we do a sheriff and let
him learn during his incumbency how
to administrate, but about the time
he learns someone else wins out and
gets the Job.

AN ANSWER TO
H. c; RICE


l was running a spite race. The
authority | had for such a state
ment is what different people
have told me.
Judge Rice says the general as
sembly of which he was mem
Der, did not create any Offices.
Judge, what Assembly created
the Supervisor Of Fire Insurance
Rates, at a salary of $1,000 per
year, and in whose office there
are employed four or five others
the total of whose salaries
amount to about $4,000? Judge,
did you not vote for the dog tax
law and did not that law turn
over to the Commissioner of Ag-,
!riculture thousands of dollars for
the purpose of enforcing it, and
aren't there now three new Of
hcers in the states employ as a
result of that law, costing the
state something from $500 to
$4,000 per year?
Yes, the 1917 special session
passed the tax law which created
our State Tax Commission. You
were not a member then but,
Judge, did you not unqualifedly
endorse that law when you voted
to give that Commission $35,000
for salaries and expenses? The
way in which taxpayers have
been touched for half million full
ly set out in Colyer's letter which
appeared in the same issue as
yours.
In regard to my work as Farm
Demonstration Agent, | make
you this. proposition. You or the
party who put those words in
your mouth put up from 500 to
$500 and 1 will put up the same
and if | don't get the endorse
ment of from so to- 200 strong
farmers of my work and if |
can't show them that | save the
farmers from two to five times
what the county paid me, then /
will give my put up"ato the P.
A. c. Infirmary. If | make. good
on this proposition then you give
your money to the p. A. C.
| worked as farm agent only
ten months. / was then promot-
ed and took charge of the work
in one-half of the state. | re-
signed from this position with all
forces begging me not to quit.
| can go to work within ten days
in my same position at the same
salary.
Judge, the reason | say some
one put these words in your
mouth, is because | know you en-
dorse farm demonstration work.
You helped the University of
Kentucky pass a bill in the last
session of the General Assembly
which bill gave to said Universi-
ty thousands of dollars for farm
demonstration and cxperimental
work. Judge, l was told by the
college people that you were 60
ing to introduce and champion
that bill. Did you or not?
Judge, | am sorry you misread
and misconstrued my letter. l.
had no reference to you When |
said machine politicians and
chronic Office seekers. Some of
your letter is SO personal | will
not impose upon the public by
answering 1t.
| say now, with the exlpana-
tions herein, | stand by state
ments in my circular letter.
Very Respectfully,
1t T.. H. COLLINS.
