 "Yes. I know. except in the gray est emergency. it would be an awful thing to do, but this is for the dy- ing mans own peace Of mind.

Social health service is far better or. ganized than in the country, and phy- sicians are easier to reach in case of emergencies.
 l Perhaps the phase of health in the rural districts, more important than all others, is the lack of real health knowledge in dealing with actual health conditions. Where settlements arc scattered, n real health gain would result from a gathering once or twice month. Some health authority could be secured 10 address such a meeting, and health pamphlets from national and state boards could be dis tributed. A school house or church could be used AS a center.
 In the solution Of individual prob. lens of water. sewage and hygiene. education must be sought from the best possible sources. community or county physician is n modern way of giving adequate service to the whole countryside at a minimum cx- pense,
 The problem Of cleanliness is an. other Of great import. Where there is water and soap, one may bathe the whole body in some way. Do this at least twice week, and bathe the feet, fl inclined 10 sweat, every night. X health gain of increased length of life would be the result The cities have gained 10 years, the country can in- crease this.
 There is a deficit Of great import in rural foods. Too much Of the same kind is esten, where change in diet would cost no more. Every farm garden, which results in the canning and storage of food, means better diet. Health in body building is a result Of better garden work by boys and girls.
 Try and have tho family supplied with vegetables and fruits the year round, and vary the diet for a dis tinct health gain.
