distinguished a character.
THE civil head Of the War Depart
ment, my distinguished predecessor.
Hon. John w. Weeks. became Ill on
April 1, 1925. and since that time has
not taken active charge Of the War
Department, although his resignation
was submitted after the conclusion OF
the fiscal year upon which I am re-
porting Mr.. Weeks brought to his
task great Intellectual ability and long
experience. both political and execu-
tive. He possessed. to an extraordinary
degree Of the quality Of common sense.
His industry Is likewise extraordinary.
He was thus able to manage the af
fairs Of the War Department for a
period of four years in such a way as
to command the admiration alike Of
his colleagues and of the military men
of whom he was the chief. This task
was especially difficult, for the Army
was twice reduced during his tenure
of office; and he was compelled to see
that the tendency to spend uneco-
nomically. natural after the extrava
gances of war. was sternly suppressed.
Yet after accomplishing these usually
thankless tasks. ne remained as popu-
lar as ever. His retirement from pub
lie life, which every one hopes Is but
temporary, is a great loss to the Ma
ton"

day and night, the association has
shown the great advantage of such
special care of these little patients
and thus has demonstrated the need
of an au-year public sanatorium for
such children. proper provision Tor
whom cannot be made in the regular
tuberculosis Hospital.
Convalescence Aided.
But one of the most valuable OF
the many services rendered by this
association has been in connection
with that hospital. namely, the Gre
ton of what is known as the occupa-
tional thearpy department in which
many of the patients. under the di-
rection of expert instructors and with
the approval of the physicians in
charge. are assisted in their GONZALES
cence through mental diversion by
various creative handcrafts.
over and above all Of these and
other services l would like particu-
iarly to draw attention to the general
educational value of its information
bureau and its health bulletins pub
Iished at regular intervals in the
newspapers of the city. The Health
Department has no funds availa BILE
for advertising it's dispensary or
other health services to the public
and on this account 1t has welcomed
the publicity thus freely given by
these bulletins and paid for by the
tuberculosis Association.
For these and many other reasons
l can most heartily commend the
general custom among our people Of
buying Christmas seals, the funds
from the sale Of which enable the as
sociation to carry on its various
health activities"

ing the work of that association.
"This improved condition." said
Or. Fowler. has, to my mind. been
brought about by better sanitary con-
ditions through the education of the
public, improved inspection of milk
supply and foods generally. but in
large measure due to the various
health activities carried on by uor
Tr "oulosis Association.
1t was this association which first
originated and carried on for several
years at its own expense for our city
a free tuberculosis dispenSary, which
later was taken over by the Govern
ment and Is now continued as a part
of the regular work of the city Health
Department. Similarly, 1t has pio-
neered in various other fields of
health work. One excellent instance
Of this was it's organization of what
Is known as the modern health cru
sade, beginning in the year 1919.
when 26000 of our school children
were enrolled in the various groups
for the study and practice of daily
health habits. such as a balanced diet,
plenty Of fresh air. cleanliness and
adequate periods of rest and sleep,
etc, which system was largely inCor-
porated in the regular school cur
riculum two years later.
Health Clinics Work.
still another field of practical
health work fostered by this associa-
ton was inaugurated in 1920 through
health clinics or classes in the public
schools. where underWeight children,
together with their parents. might be
instructed in the best methods of cor
rection of physical defects and the
general Improvement in health. The
success and popularity of these school
clinics was proved by their extension

owing to The S'owneSS in obtain
ing adequate appropriations for the
special health schools. the TuberCu-

with it's funds provided extra lunches,

for the children in the special health
