trouble; in fact. all the diseases that
follow in the wake Of war
I'm 1902 Congress changed the
name of the marine hospital service
to the public health and marine hos
pital service and in so doing, for the
first time, gave recognition in the
name Of the service to the public
health work which the service had
previously been conducting.
again in 1912 the name OF the serv-
ice was changed to the public health
service and it's functions greatly in
creased.
'The public health service has for
number of years in the exercise Of
it's quarantine function actively en-
gagged in the prevention of epidemic
diseases-both with reference to those
within the confines of the United
States and those which threatened to
gain entrance into the United States.
through quarantine.
''In order, however, to strengthen
health and enable it to intelligently
cope with disease, Congress in 1912.
by the same act which changed it's
name, granted authority to the service
to investigate and study the diseases
of man and conditions influencing the
propagation and spread thereof, in
Guiding sanitation and sewage and the
pollution either directly or indirectly
of the navigable streams and lakes Of
the United States. Although previous
ly it was necessary to study the cause
and mode of transmission of disease
in order to efficiently perform its
quarantine function OF preventing the
introduction and spread of diseases
into and between the United States,
it was not until tnis authority was
granted that the service had ample
authority, limited only by the appro-
priations Congress sees fit to grant
from time to time, to study all dis
eases and all conditions which may
conduce to their spread"
Speaking of the wartime activities
of the public health service, Surgeon
General Blue called particular atten-
tion to the sanitation of the areas sur
rounding camps and cantonments OF
the United States. Dr. Blue character
lied this extra -cantonment sanitary
work "as the greatest sanitary
achievement or demonstration ever
undertaken by any government"

large bodies of troops in training
camps and other concentration points,
which followed the declaration Of war
with gratifying rapidity, it became
Immediately necessary to enforce
strict measures for the protectioneof
the health of the soldier and sailor.
The military authorities fully realized
the necessity of this protection within
the camp and cantonment, and ade-
quate provision was there made to re-
duee disease to the minimum. But 1t
was just as essential to establish and
maintain proper sanitary conditions
in the areas surrounding the camps

soldier and saiior had -actess to this
territory, and IL his body was to be
kept At to fight democracy's battle this
contiguous territory had also to be
sanitated. This obligation was placed
on the public health service.

improvement in investment conditions
rs evidenced by the success attending
the new French loan offering and a
growing conviction that the credit sit

ready absorption OF the French issue,
excepting the Liberty group Anglo

made variable advances on a broader
demand.
The recent inquiry for low priced
speculative rails was less marked not
withstanding the more encouraging
crop outlook, especially as to corn.

SPRING CROP LOSS
BOOST TO WHEAT

CHICAGO. Sept. 11.-Sharp reduction
of the estimated volume of the spring
crop has had much to do this week with
bringing about higher prices in the
wheat market. Compared with week
ago wheat this morning was up 444%c.
Corn was unchanged to INC higher;
oats varying from sac decline to, &c
advance, and provisions at gains of 2bc
to $1.10
wheat buying on a large scale for
the Eastern seaboard both preceded
and followed the governments crop
figures, and was generally assumed to
be reflection of heavy sales to Eu-
rope. The buying included future de-
lfVeries to a notable extent. After
prices. however, had reached the high
est level for some time, reaction took
place influenced more or less by weak
ness of sterling exchange. Breaking of
the drought in Argentina counted also
as bearish factor.
Corn sympathized with wheat. Hedg-
ing sales weakened oats.
Provisions were lifted by export bust
ness.
