COVER WIDE SCOPE


the innermost councils OF the family
circle, is to be brought forcefully be-
fore every man, woman and child in
the vast crowds who are expected to
visit the National Health EXPOSE
tion in Louisville February to Q. =
There will be the live exhibits,
the clinics, the free examinations; all
so attractive to the public that none
can pass without learning some little
part of health conservation or SANTA
tion that will prove so useful long
after the blazing lights of the Expo
sition have been doused and the busy
hammers of the workmen have OBJ
liberated all sign of this wonderful
array of exhibits.
II is the purpose of those great
health Organizations, headed by the
United States Public Health Service
and the State Board of Health, who
are conducting the Exposition, to
promote better health in every home,
to eliminate the tremendous yearly
toll from prevsntable diseases and to
instill into the minds and hearts of
the laymen the need for right living,
right eating and right exercise.
The move is unselfish and to which
the medical profession has given I'M
stinted service. None can- say the
present generation will receive but
little reward for the care of the
mind, the body and the general
health All will benefit, and esti-
mates, as only estimates can be Civ
en-, place the benefit in cold calculat-
ing figures atone added year to the
average life of each OF those who at
tend the exposition.
The medical profession. surgery.
chemistry. and all the allied sciences,
have made such wonderful strides
in the past decade that the time now
Is ripe that this progress should be
visualized to the public in such
manner as to be readily understood
by the most uulearucd layman as
well as the most skillful surgeon or
physician.
More than 5000 persons will par
ticipate in the program. displays and
demonstrations which will be carried
out as the result of elaborate plan
ming.
Displays at the Exposition will in
clude scientific and commercial exhib-
its showing the work of the medical,
dental, pharmaceutical. hospital and
nursing professions. Novelties,
scientific wonders and mechanical
displays will play a big part in at
tracing the laymen to the. EXPOSE
ton.
Speakers of national authority in
medical and allied professional lines
will address the United States PUbiic
Health Institute which will be held
in Louisville in conjunction with the
Exposition, among them being DR..
NJ. j. Rosenau, Dean OF the Harvard

tuberculosis Association; DR.. John
H. Stokes of the Mayo Clinic; Miss
Francis Brink, Director of the Ma
tional Organization for Public Health
Nursing; and Reginald c.. Augustine, |
President Emeritus of the American |
optometric Association.
The Importance and wide scope of |
the interest aroused. throughout the |
United States by the Exposition is |
evidenced by the granting of reduc-
ed railroad fares on all railroads en-
tering Louisville for the period of the
Exposition.
This Exposition has already drawn
and educational exhibit
ors from all parts of America, with
the possibility that nearly half of
the 100000 visitors expected will
come from other States than Ken
lucky.
Many Of these visitors will be men,

whom the message of health is of
first moment and upon whose shout
ders rests the responsibility OF build
ing up future generations free from
the diseases that have fettered this

tion will live in the minds of the
people for months, even years, and /,
that such permanent good VIII result |
