YOUR HEALTH - By cd Dr.. R S

1t has been said, and aptly said,
that public health is purchasable
Within natural limitations a COM
munity can determine its own death
rate. In other words. the number
of deaths in the community will de-
pend upon the amount of money
wisely spent in the prevention o.
disease.
/ The individual. within reasona le
| limits. can determine tie span of his
own life. as well as the amount Of
/ illness he will encounter
/ Life is our most precious possess
ion, and good health our most valu-
able asset. The sick man is willing
/ 10 spend everything nc has TO regain
. health. When some one near and
dear is seriously III no expense is
/ too great TO save him. But when the
health of the great mass of the pub
/ lie is concerned, we are apt 20 be
indifferent and TO exclaim, The cost
is too great" Is this argument sup
ported by facts?
1t is generally recognized today
that illness and death are tax on
the entire community in which they
occur. directly in the cost of main
tanning hospitals, asylums and SINH
I lar institutions. and indirectly
/ through loss of productivity. Let US
| see what has been accomplished in
the matter of life and death during
the past half-century.
Consider These Figures.

| conditions with the common cOndi-
lions Of 90 years ago In 1871 the
death rate was Is percent per thou
sand of the population. If this rate
had prevailed in 1921 there would
have been 161. 900 deaths, instead of
/ the $4,000 deaths which did occur.

This means that nearly one hundred
thousand Of this group OF citizens
are alive and well tooay who would
have died under the conditions Of
1871. If we assume that an average
life is worth $5O0-and he would be
a poor stick whose life isn't worth
more-this means a saving of $50
100000 a year 10 this country.
Since there is fairly constant
ratio between illness and death. il is
fair TO assume that the improved
conditions have prevented a million
cases of illness during the year As
Stunning that the average cost Of sick
ness is s. per day tsrough loss Of in
come medical and nursing care and
other items, and that the average
duration of each illness is 10 days.
I this would make another total of
$50,O00,0O0. The two together make
a grand total Of 100000. 600 saved
during the year through the proven
ton of death and illness.
Vast Savings Possible.
If this ratio were maintained
throughout the United States and
/ Canada it would mean an annual
earning of more than two billion
dollars.
OF course, this wonderful reduc-
ton in death and illness is not the
result of one years work 1t repre-
sents the accumulated results Of 80
years of effort. Each year since
health was made a public function
there has been decrease IN illness
and death. Every years expenditure
for public health may be said TO earn
its own profit Each community
should make such provisions for the
public health as its wealth viii justi-

I do wish 10 enter a protest as 10
how the City OF South Bend con-
ducts the enforcement OF the traffic
regulations. The motorcycle men
are real jokes. They certainly make
il hot for men and guys who ride on
the sidewalks with their bicycles. but
the autos; IL certainly is a different
story live on Lincoln way E, az

VACATION.

VACATION.
The boys are on their holidays,
AS brown as berries they are
burned,
But grown-up age on duty stays,
Still finding lessons 70 be learned.
Youth ronps the vacant lots in play
From books and studies wholly
free,
But age must go from day 10 day
sail seeking manhood's high de-
gree.
Youth puts it's lessons grim aside.
But age must meet a sterner test;
With man lies never satisfied,
He must do better than the best.
Thus willie the children romp and
play
And from the path Of duty turn,
Age never puts LIES books away

Each page has lessons it must
learn.
No glad vacation ever dawns
When age has come and youth
has fled,
Old feet must shun the velvet lawns
To trudge the road which lies
ahead.
So let them romp the while they
may
And let them think their lessons
done.
They shall discover down the way
The work Of man is just begun.
And they shall find when they are
grown
And reach the highways distant
turn,
How very little we have known.
How very much there IS TO learn.

HbME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
Some Dining Room Details.

A silence cloth is a heavy cover
made of felt, double-faced canton
flannel or some similar material for
the dining-room table. 1t should be
fastened securely about the table legs
or large enough to prevent it's slid
ing on the polished surface of the
table. This cover protects the table
top from hot dishes, improves the ap-
pearance Of any table cloth, but,
above all, it deadens the sound of
dishes and silver at the table during
meal.
It's value from this point of view
for those who are at all sensitive to
the rattle and clatter Of the business
of eating can hardly be exaggerated.
1t Is the main argument for lunch and
breakfast cloths as against doilies on
the bare table. however attractive
these may be in appearance. Only
three or four adults, themselves well
trained, and served by skillful maid,
can really be comfortable with bare
table top; where there are children
or the family is large or the maid
careless the meal is bound to be too
noisy to be pleasant.
Tablecloths when ironed should be
folded and creased only once, the long
way of the cloth. Then they should
be- rolled, each on its cardboard cylin-
der, cut to fit. This makes them look
much better when laid on the table,
saves creasing when they are removed
between meals, and makes them last
longer.
Tray cloths, doilies. centerpieces
and sideboard covers should also be
rolled on cylinders. They take no
more space when cared for in this
way and are much better kept.
