SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Or. Q. "a. Il. Reed

You are naturally interested
IN the manner in which you
and the members Of your family
are laid away after your demise.
This matter ia very largely regu-
lated by custom and religion. Lat
terly. however, both economics
and science have added their COM
trfbutions to the subject with the
result that people who are gov
erned by such considerations are
urging cremation in increasing
numbers. 1T really il a very iI-
teresting subject and one that has
real Importance from the health
angle.
The problem OF disposing of the
dead is not confined to human so-
ciety. Even the lowest animals
realize that their dead are threat
to the health of the living. Birds
throw dead fledglingS out of the
nest; wild animals leave the neigh.
borhood where one of them lies
dead, and gorillas cover their dead
with boughs and leaves. Cave
dwelIers did the same thing. When
men came, however, to live in the
open they used the abandoned
caves as tombs, and the begin.
ming of cremation was the prac-
tice, partly as religious rite, OF
throwing burning brands into
these caves to lessen the stencil,
and to allow new burial party
to approach.
The Romans in their earliest
soon borrowed from the Etruscans
the practice of burning them. The
poor were burned by slaves in an
open fire, the rich were cremated
with much ceremony and their
ashes preserved in urns.
Burial was optional during the
but was forbidden in the
days of the Emperors. The early
Christians, however, were opposed
to the burning of the body, prob
ably because Of the belief in COR
poreal resurrection, and when Rome
became Christian cremation was
In Britain, burial in churchyards
has been the established custom
from the earliest times. The Gus.
tom was naturally taken UP and
has since prevailed in the United
States. Up till century ago there
were not any cemeteries in either
England or the United States, so
was the passion for burying
the dead in or near a church. Only
since the congestion of cities be-
came so great as to force the au-
thorities to consider the problem
has cremation been practiced at
all.
Recently William Allen Daley
has stated the case for cremation
as follows: The two chief objec-
tons to earth burial are ~ the
risk of the spread of disease (2) the
waste of land, which is. or will soon
be, badly needed for the living.

and you know how it is with

Now since this is what she

Emily would be pleased, but far

of all the loads she's carrying

how no one appreciates her. her,

wheezes about 'em afterward.
