HEALTH OF STATE is GOOD
One Case of Dangerous Disease to 14O
People Reported in 6 Months

Washington, with an estimated pop
ulation of 1,723,757 people on July 1,
1919, reported 12,278 cases of COM
municable or dangerous disease to the
state health department during the
first six months of the present year.
This is one case of such disease to ev-
cry 1909 people and is considered
a low disease rate.
Smallpox was the most prevalent
disease, revised figures showing that
2138 cases of that disease were report
ed. Data on other diseases follows:
humps, 2076; chickenpox, 1885; scar
let fever, 1866; measles, 1896; pneu-
monia, 844; gonorrhea, TAG; tubercu-
losis, 612; whooping cough, 5SS; diph-
liberia, 4O3; syphilis, 235; German
measles, 115; typhoid fever, los; men
nights, ID; infantile paralysis, 6.
1.-THE figures, however, do not tell
true story, for many case of dang
erous or communicable disease were
not reported as required by law" says
DIR. E. ]. Henry, assistant state health
commissioner and in charge of COM
municable disease work for the state
health department.
zone of the functions of the state
health department is the collection of
data on communicable diseases and
the law makes it incumbent upon the
state and local health officers, physi-
clans and other persons to see that all
cases are repored, penalties being pro-
vxided for failure"

no you hesitate because you think
- prices are too high and you'll
wait for them to drop? You're
making mistake, for prices must
stay at high level for years.
Consider the facts. There's trem-
endous market in Europe and here at
home for every thing we can make
the fundamental law Of supply end de-
mand must work. We have an unpre-
cedeated amount of gold in the coun-
try, and when there is more money in
circulation and no great increase IN
production, we simply pass more gold
around for our goods. We have high
prices in figures but not in realty,
for If wages are higher and goods are
higher, the balance remains the same.
So long as the gold stays here prices
will be up. In short, business mon say
unreservedly that If prices do go
down at all, it will be very, very slow
". In the meantime, rents are higher
and you pay relatively more to live
as great proportion as though you
built your home at present figures.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR
SOLDIERS AT CAMP LEWIS
Boys Who Enlist at Camp Lewis May
Take Either Educational or
Vocational Course

;
The information that educational
and vocational training is to be in
itiated at Camp I evils is contained
in a letter to the Courier-Reporter
from Major General William H. john
son, who writes:
Authority has been received from
the War Department. to initiate edu-
cational and vocational training at
this camp, in addition to the military
training received. Any young ran
wishing to enliG is permitted to
CHOOSE the arm of the service in which
he cares to enlist. Any soldier, serv-
ing in whatever arm is permitted, not
required, to undertake educational or
vocational training three hours daily
du.ing five days of the week. It is
believed that this educational oppor-
tunity, furnished young men who have
not yet entered college or learned a
trade, will induce large number of
young men, unmarried, to enter the
Army for the purpose of either in
creasing their earning capacity after
discharge, or for the purpose of en-
tering college in a higher grade than
he would otherwise enter. This edu-
cational advantage is in addition to
the other privileges accorded soldiers
of the Army. The present pay and al
lowances, such as clothing, subsis-
tence, quarters, medical attention,
dental treatment, life insurance, ETC.,
are usually estimated at $4,000 per
month. The improvement in the char
acter of citizenship of those young
men who served during the war must
have been noted by readers Of your
paper. The same Improvement may
be gained by other young men who
have not yet served in the Army.
As, undoubtedly, many readers of
your paper have acquaintance at
Camp Lewis, and ex-soldiers who have,
served at Camp Lewis will be inter.
ested in news of this camp, / am
willing to furnish you, each week, with
news items of the Camp, including our
experience in conducting a university
for young men who otherwise might
not have the benefit of such education.
An officer of this camp will collect
items believed to be of interest in
your section and mail them to you

In square miles, of course, the ruined
land cannot compare with all these
states. As a matter of fact, it is dis
trict just about the size Of Maryland,
but France is a compact land, where
cities crowd upon each other and indus

of all France, furnished ninety-four per
cent. Of the total wool output Of the
nation, ninety per- cent. of the flax,
ninety per cent. of the iron ore, eighty
three per cent. of the pig iron, seventy
per cent of the steel, seventy per cent.
of the sugar, and fifty-five per cent. OF
the coal.
