Health in City and Country.

Are city dwelers less subject to dis
ease than the country bred. after all?
Statistics from the environments seem
to show 1t, and an editorial writer In
the Journal of the American Medical
Association suggests that although the
city may harbor more disease germs
than the country the dwellers in II may
have become comparatively immune.
II is well known that the natives of
remote islands To which the diseases
of civilization" have never penetrated
are ravaged by them to an unheard Of
degree when they are introduced by
the white man. Possibly q rural dis
trict. though inherently free from dis
ease. may for that very reason yield
more rapidly to infection when II
comes. Study of conditions such as
these. the writer notes. has been great
ly facilitated by the existence of large
bodies of men modified in army
camps subject To syStematized medical
supervision which has furnished
unique opportunities for gathering sta
tistics on an unprecedented scale.

The following old poem has lost none
of its freshness and beauty in IT'S

is only realized by a few.

The difficulty of deserving a ship in

be overcome. Listen to the tale of

crew was Patty O'Callaghan. That's
not his name, but it gives a hint OF
his nationality.
"Four weeks out the Hebe ran into
shifting gales. A heavy storm came
up astern one night, veered around to
terrific head wind, and the bark was
caught aback. Before the wards
could be braced around, all the rigging
went over, killing the second mate ard

THE crew cleared what was left OF
the rigging, rugged a jury rudder in
place of the one smashed when the
storm had struck, but couldn't hoist
more sail. The Hebe was maxine
water at every pitch, and had so little
canvas up she couldn't get steerway.
"On a dark, murky night 4S hours
