FOR BETTER PUBLIC HEALTH
Attention Of Rural Communities
Drawn 10 Necessary Steps in
That Direction.

(Prepated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Much remains to be done in rural
districts, according to the annual re-
port of the secretary Of agriculture, to
control such pests as mosquitoes and
the hookwoTm, to eliminate the
sources of typhoid fever, and, even
more, to give the country districts the
advantage of modern hospitals, nurs-
ing and specialized medical practice.
Noting that many agencies, some of
them private enterprises with large
funds, are working for Improvement
the report says that the department of
agriculture, through its home demon
stration service, is giving valuable aid,
and the. public-health service is in
creasingly extending its functions.
To what extent the further prOjec-
ton of effort is matter for state
or! local action remains to be deter
mined, says the secretary, but 1T
seems clear that there should be no
cessation of activities until there has
been completed in every rural COM
munity of the Union an effective sani-
tary service and, through the provi-
sion of adequate machinery, steps
taken to control and eliminate the
sources of disease and to provide the
necessary modern medical and dental
facilities, easily accessible to the mass
Of the people.

ness matters. One of the requests in
his long will was hairbrush that he
had used for many years. This hair
brush he gave to his nephew, with the
proviso that the said brush should be
kept in the family vault two months
out of twelve.
During the brush's sojourn in the
vault the legatee was not to brush,
comb or cut his hair. The acceptance
of the brush meant that the nephew
was to inherit and enjoy two-thirds of
the estate, and we have not the slight
est. doubt that this fortunate young
man willingly became "shock-head-
ed Peter" in order to fulfill his ,eccen-
trio uncle's wishes. ! <.
