MIssoURrs STABILITY.

When the sl5,OO0,o0o issue of bond
to pay bonus to Missouri's soldiers wa
sold recently for ss65,5OO more than fac'
value, it was doubly gratifying. 1t mean
that that much more money would b,
available for the relief of the former ser
vice men, money which the taxpayers will
not be called upon to contribute, but i
meant much more than that.
When hard-headed business men de
cided that 500 bonds issued by the State
Of Missouri were actually worth Sl03.77
it was a tribute to the financial stability
Of the state. The bonds do not carry an
excessively high rate of interest. 1t was
not an unusually great return on the in.
vestment that these financiers found at
iractive. 1t was the assurance that their
money would be paid back, the certain
ty that their investment was safe.

finances are sound. She has the resour.
ces to back up her contract. Her gov

1t was not so long ago that bond is

THE HANDSHAKE

A group Of medical men have stirred u,
a deal Of discussion by discovering danger
in handshaking. II one has some dis
ease, they say he can hand it to hi.
friend on shaking hands with him aftel
recovering. Or he can, say these doctors
present his illness. to his hostess in ths
evening. when he presses her hand az he
passes down the receiving line.
What to use in place Of the handshake
is not made known, and after considering
all forms of salutation, each has a specif
ic function other than that which the
handshake performs. One has searched
the field and discovered the following
ways of saying hello, used in this and
other countries; nose rubbing, removing
the shoe, kissing the foot, pressing the
nose to the ground, shaking ones own
hands, the military salute, kissing one
own hand, waving the handkerchief and
slapping the hands. But after considering
each, he found that none reached the
standard Of the clasp Of the hand.
All Of this leads one to consider the
excellent qualities Of the handshake. II
is first Of all a most sensible democratic
an expressive greeting. Into it can be put
hearty good fellowship, good will and
sincere feeling. Strength. personality.
character are blended in ones grip.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
HEALTH WORK EFFECTIVE

Statistics recently made public by an
insurance company show that the 1921
death rate for the United States is the
lowest ever recorded. The rate is 8.54 a
thousand lives. This is lower by 1877 per
cent than the 1920 death rate and by 3l.9
per cent than the death rate in 1911.
In searching for the reason for this de.
cline We find that the cut is mainly due
10 decreased deaths from tuberculosis,
pneumonia, influenza, Bright's disease
end industrial accidents. This is an un.
parallcled accomplishment in the history
of public health. This decline seems to
be continuing at an increasing rate from
year to year. II is most unusual in the
face of an industrial depression, unem-
ployment and its general consequences.
This is a splendid display of the effec-
tiveness of public health work. By con-
slant agitation, suggestions and instruc.
items for the prevention Of the disease,
the public mind is being educated to be
more careful. Sanitary conditions shcw
big improvement during the past ten
years.
Deaths due to automobile accidents
show the only increase in the past few
years. The recorded death rate is more
than five times that recorded in 1911
and is twice as high as the rate in 1915.
The control of the rising death rate from
this cause is one Of the unsolved prob
lens Of police and accident prevention
work in the American cities. These or
CARNATIONS need to carry on as active and
effective a campaign for accident pre-
vention as has been carried on by the
health authorities and automobile acci.
dents will be less frequent.
