Obviously the intensive campaign against tuberculosis has produced results. Interest and intelligent ac- ! ion will likewise reduce both the incidence and ill effects of heart | disease.
 Eighty-eight per cent of all deaths from heart disease occur among in 1 dividuals above 40 years of ag". But heart disease causes as many deaths among persons under 25 years of age ,as does typhoid fever. Between 35 and If years of ago heart disease "anSos more deaths than Bright's disease. After A. years Of age 'heart disease shows a higher death rate than any other cause.
 These facts. however, must not be permitted to obscure tho relative importance of heart disease as a cause of death among children.
 The determination of the incl. dcnce of heart disease is fought witE difficulty. However, tho World wal draft board examinations resulted in the rejection Of slightly more than s per cent of the mon between 1S end 35 years Of age for heart disease.
 In New York city the school in- spcctors found l.6 DOT cent Of inc children suffering with some form of heart defect, making fl likely that between 1S.oo0 and go,0o0 children lin that city have heart disease.

A PEST SUBTERFUGE
REGARDING BULBS

It is being asked as to why, if
the federal horticultural board
feared the importation of pests
with Rarcissus bulbs, it fixed a date
four years later as one when no
more foreign bulbs would be adj
mitted to this country. The date is
January 1, 1926.
The inference is plain: That the
embargo is not due to the fear of
pests, but is mode of protection
for domestic growers against for
cign competition. It is declared
that the domestic bulbs are greatly
inferior and cost more.
Instead of protecting the bulb in
dustry it will result in fewer bulbs
being bought. If the domestic
bulbs were Of better quality but
were being threatened by foreign
pulpS or INFERIOR quality sold at
ridiculously low rate. the situation
would be reversed, and would cor
respond TO the protection given
American manufacturing. But the
excellence of the foreign bulbs Gre
atod the American market for
them; now some southern bulb
planters want TO cash in on the
market with an inferior product.
The horticultural board should
have been frank and candid about
its embargo rule; it should have
stated cmphatically what the en-
barge actually was for and not TO
have thrown out the subterfugo
that it was for the purpose of
eliminating the importation of
pests that nobody has been able to
find; or which, if they actually OK
listed, We're allowed to enter the
country for years before the final
date of the embargo.
