 ROUNDING UP DISEASE

Some years ago the real emphasis of pure bread, health conditions and hygienic living was confined largely to cattle and stock. Of course, this was more prominent in western states where many large ranches were sitn~ ated. The improvement was marked.
 Now, people are coming to believe more and more that it is more im- portant to give the same intelligent, scientific care and attention to grow ing children that they have been compelled by law to give their cattle. Isn't it rather strange that no law has yet been passed which insures healthy parentage to the children?
 Health boards in both states and counties, physicians in charge of government tests and institutes, home associations and clubs of prominent women have put their shoulders 10 the back of this great health program for better babies and robust, healthy children. In one county in Montana the campaign against defective teeth has resulted in reducing the number of such teeth in children form 4s to oJ per cent uuflnS llp paoL iNo sSuif'' This indicates how many stomach ulcers and diseased kidneys this one county has prevented through pus and infection from abscessed and diseased teeth.
 Mouth breathing. with its attendant evils of throat disease, lung trouble and often loss of hearing, has by proper operations and widespread warnings been reduced over 30 per cent.
 Perhaps the best showing of all was the campaign just closed in, in Carlon county, which banished every disease spot that could be located. At a health program. over 4e miles from a railroad. where so children were examined Rfter one year of treat mcnt to show the per cent of ini- provement, every parent was present some of them driving 40 miles,
