MANY COUNTIES WITHOUT
DISEASE PROTECTION
STATE HEALTH CHIEF
SUGGESTS REMEDY

Smallpox, typhoid fever, and other
preventable diseases, claimed an I'M
usual number of helpless victims In
the IL epidemics which swept West
Virginia last year because the rural
communities did not have adequate
health protection" DIR. w. Z. Henshaw
state health commissioner, said yester.
day, land full-time health unit In
every county is the best solution Of
the condition"
If the money spent in curing pre-
ventable diseases, were spent for pre-
ventive measures, there would be fewer
deaths, physical units, feebleminded
and blind, for nearly all permanent de.
formities, except those from acct
dents, are traceable to diseases, ac-
cording to thes doctor.
Only. six counties in West Virginia
have full-time county health units,
that is, health officer and one or
more public health nurses who devote
their entire time to the prevention Of
disease and assisting the doctors OF
that county.
The health officer investigates the
source of contagious diseases, inspects
school children and gives free instruc-

ing typhoid, provides for vaccination
in times of epidemics, and does many
other things for the promotion of
good health. He does no prescrib-
ing, but aids the local physicians in
their work.
The public health nurses visit the
homes, hold free classes in Home
n
other subjects, and she also assists
the health officer and doctors of the
county in their work.
The total cost of full-time unit Is
about $4,000 yearly. There are rs
counties which cannot support unit.
but there are % more counties who
have more than sufficient funds, and
the commissioners plan is to estab-
lsh a cooperative fund, thereby pro-
viding full-time unit for every
county.

SMALL TOWN HUMOR
AND PHILOSOPHY

It Is easier to fall of q lad
der than 1t Is to climb up.
The man who Is looking for
cheap advice can always get it.
Some men are all right to
push. but get lazy when they
ride.
The man with a broad vision
may have 1t 0bscured by mar
row mind
Every person who springs a
new invention is regarded as q
nut until the other nuts see the
wisdom of it.
Chewing tobacco is a nasty
habit, but not as disagreeable as
chewing the rag.
-
The man with long tongue,
tainted with scandal or abuse
Of his fellow man, will find few
friends in this life and less in the
one to come. When Christ was on
earth He went about preaching
and doing good; you never
heard Of Him abusing and call
ing bad names to those who
were not of His belief. There
was no politics in Christ's day.
