Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

By DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service
 The evidence Of success in health work consists in the absence of epidemics. Had we not learned how to prevent in great measure many of our communicable dis cases and were health authorities not given the means Of accomp- fishing this, our population would be swept from time to time by cpidemics which would make those which have occurred in the past seem mild in comparison.
 With present facilities for the rapid transportation of human be- ings, a person may be exposed to a communicable disease in one state and reach any other state in the union before developing the disease.
 Vigilance at Ports
 Constant vigilance at all our ports of entry is maintained by of ficers of the Public Health Service to prevent the introduction Of dis case from abroad. Through many cooperating agencies, and by means Of its own officers stationed in for eign countries, the Public Health Service keeps In constant touch with health and disease conditions abroad.
 One Of the most important events h recent years In the field Of international health relations was the signing al Havana. Cuba on November l4, 1924. Of the Pan. American sanitary code. which

You are the one woman who brought him back 10 the knowledge that there are good women in the world. You are the one woman who gave him back what he lost when he found his wife was not what he thought her. The only girl who showed stamina enough to leave life Of case for q principle. Why. even his own wife shows that she would give up love for luxury. l don't think she's any better than the rest Of the gold diggers, do you?"
