Health and Right Living
By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, NJ ID.
Former Commissioner Of Hath,

Blessed Is the country boy born
near an old swimming pool fed by
the waters Of an uncontaminated
stream. City boys are far less
fortunate. They must do their
swimming in waters filled with
sewage and germs Of disease.
+ am led to these observations
by reason of an article I saw in
the newspaper. It was an inter-
view with the director Of health
education OF New York City's de-
partmnet Of health. He was be-
moaoning the fact that the harbor
waters about New York are badly
polluted.
Each year. with the advent OF
bathing" he said. come new cases
troubles, and worst of all. new ty-
phoid fever cases. almostandend
phoid fever cases. Since 1922 and
up TO the close OF 1923. almost 500
cases OF typhoid in this city we're
traced TO bathing beaches. beaches
prescribed by the department. in
which bathers ignored our warn
ing"
II is too bad that so little atten-
ton is given by many persons TO
the dangers of contaminated wa
tiers. Not only are they willing TO
battle in these waters, but travellers
into the country frequently drink
from springs and streams without
knowing anything about the purity
OF the water. In this connection 4
quote again from the newspaper
article about disease in New York
City. And Of the 3,445 other ty-
phoid cases. the infection Of which
was not traceable. there Is little
doubt that many OF them came
from bathing in polluted waters"
With the beginning of the bath
Ing season I hope everybody will
give heed to the Importance or Sc
Letting safe places for swimming.
1t Is a dangerous thing 10 lump

pool There may be treacherous
depths. snags OF trees or sub
merged rocks Unless counsel can
be taken Of somebody familiar with
this proposed bathing pool. it
should be carefully explored before
any dives are taken into the water.
But far O dangerous than the
Things l have just mentioned. are
the possibilities of the presence of
germs In the water. TO get them
INTO your system may bring severe
illness and even death.
/ am glad that many states and
municipalities have passed laws
prohibiting the reckless contain
nation Of the water supplies. The
other day I saw a man almost
frothing from anger because he
was not permitted to establish a
hazardous industry on the bank ar
q noble stream. the waters ~
which were used for drinking pur-
poses by a nearby city. II was a
wise law that prevented such an
action.
Bathing and swimming are de-
sirable from the standpoint OF
health. But I beg of you not Ia
go into the water unless YOU know

Rep. o. A. Cross of Texas has introduced a OH
r,tbor,zinr the expenditure of $4,000 by the federal
rr,reau az standards to conduct technical and scienti-
fc research work in Texas TO ascertain the market
ability of waste products of the commonwealth.
research would be in cooperation with the A. and
N. college IL c -llege Station and funds would be i'm
rnedlately available under the measure.
Corn stalks are waste products. Cotton stalks are
a. etc nroducts. Scientists have discovered a way to
+urn these waste products into a pulp from which
news print can be made and all kinds Of wrapping
paper as well.
pres. Hoover in his inaugural address, reminded
the federal lawmakers what might be accomplished
along these lines. He was speaking Of the CONVEX
siono Of waste products on the farm into products
having a commercial value.
Cross Of Texas is on the right track.

"Lummyl" he said. solemnly.
He stared at the stone kitchen

The sounds were not below him,

Brown.

another deafening salvo from the

and decided that he must get used

No. but could he wait? Into the

Yes. Of course. The noise above.

May 9.-One c-a't pass through

stoppinR for a moment to inspect the new marble
statue Just unveiled.
II is the one Of former Senator Robert M. In Fol-
lette Of Wisconsin.
10 Davidson fashioned this striking likeness Of
Fighting Bob" lie regards it as his greatest piece
Of work Certainly this long personal friend Of the
late Wisconsin senator has caught the spirit OF the
man.
La Toilette is shown in his most characteristic pose
Crouching in his chair. both hands gripping the arms.
he seems ready to spring to the floor Of the senate TO
engage in debate.
A glance at the face and it is easy to understand
how he shattered all records by speaking Is hours and
20 minutes during a filibuster in the upper house.
. .
EVERYTHING CHANGE
Much was said about the life and achievements OF
the great progressive by those who came here to be
present at the unwilling Of the statue. We were par
.ticularly interested in the story told by his son Phillip
of an event that occurred some II years ago.
we were sitting in my fathers office in the base
ment Of the capitol" said young La Toilette. Gath
cred about him was a small group of his friends. The
rage and hatred Of the press and others we're stirring
to fever heat the passions Of men in a time Of war.
His friends were urging him to silence. He listen
ed to their pleas and then turned to the group and
said:
1.-The children may live to see the day when SEN
timent will change toward me and what I am about
TO do. I never SHALL"
Then" said the son, he walked out of that room
to the floor Of the senate and took a position from
which he never wavered and which brought down
upon him the attacks which are now history"
POWER TO SWAY THEM
Charles II. Crownhart. justice OF the Wisconsin SUI
preme court, told us Of the great power La Toilette
had over the common people.
In one Of his campaigns for governor Of Wisconsin
he spoke at Superior. He had been preceded by a for
mer United States senator Of the state who opposed
AT the conclusion Of his opponents speech the
crowd was with him. Every thrust at La Toilette had
been cheered with great enthusiasm. La Follette's
followers were downcast.
Then Fighting Bob mounted the stand. And
Justice Crownhart says that for three hours he held
that meeting under perfect attention. and when IL was
dismissed the people left silently as though a bene-
diction had Just been said by their pastor.
a distinguished western senator once approached
La Toilette and said:
Bob. you never compromise, therefore. YOU never
win"
And la Toilette replied.
Bill. you always compromise. thereby DELAYING FIR
