Business" said the present business
depression was due to the failure
of the people to live CLOSE enough
to God to stand continuous pros
perity."
IF the majority OF the peo-
pie in the world should sud-
denly turn about and live the
way Christ taught us to live"
he said, eve would never have
spasms of hard times and
boom times"
He appealed. to the young men
and women of the country TO be-
come imbued with the principles
of the Christian Endeavor. saying:
"The future safety and pros
perity of the United States will
not be determined by the men
in Washington; it will not be
determined by our great banks
or our great mines, factories,
farms or forests. The future
safety of the United States lies
in the hands of your organiza-
tion and other institutions
which are working on the same
principles as you are"
Rev. Francis q. Clark was re-
elected president by reclamation.

The work of the public health
department this past month has
been more confined than at any
other time since special emphasis
has been placed on infant hygiene
and practical sanitation, the latter
with a view to cutting down the
previous years typhoid rate.
In respect to babies Miss Harris,
Red Cross nurse, and the director
of health department have held
thirteen well-baby clinics, four In
the city and nine in the suburbs at
which the attendance was over $50,
In these clinics no treatment is pre-
bcribed but all those who are found
with physical defects or suffering
from any ailment are referred to
their private physicians. Besides
the clinics Miss Harris made 400
home visits to demonstrate to the
mothers the care of themselves and
infants.
The sanitary end of the work
which falls on sanitary inspectors
or the department through the use
of the mails showed a very strik-
ing improvement over previous
months but still greater success is
looked for in the next two months.
The attempt to clean up the weeds
throughout the city has called for
numerous visits to homes and Of
fees and to date the results have
been none too encouraging since so
many property owners are non
residents of the city. In addition
the department investigated forty
five complaints made by residents
and in all but one steps were taken
to eliminate the cause.
The new dairy ordinance which
was passed by the commissioners
has been productive of good re-
suits, although previous to Its pass
age ten licensed dairies installed
approved cooling systems. while
nineteen built proper milk houses:
one dairy has submitted samples of
milk for sale of guaranteed milk
and expects to obtain a permit
about July IL
City Water Pure.
During the month ten samples
of city water were submitted for
examination and none found con-
taminated. Three private supplies
of the nine county samples were
found to be polluted. two OF which
reached fairly high percentage
and at once were condemned.

Several rumors were in circulation to
account for the decline. one of which
was that the company's financing pro-

bankers had declined to underwrite an

by officials of the company, swho de-
clared that the financing plans were
