PUBLIC HEALTH TALK MADE BY CLEMENTS

A special meeting of the Nome Health Council was held Mon- day evening. After the usual procedure of business, MT. Glenn ents of the Territorial Board of Health was called on for few remarks on sanitation. He stated that he was glad to be back in Nome and that he would try to make official business trips here at least three times a year. There are thirteen other incorporated towns in Alaska that require wis., itation and with the limited fin ances and time, it was impossible to make more than three calls to each, in a year.
 Going on with the discussion of sanitation, it was just 2 years ago this month, that this country, under the leadership of President Wilson, declared itself against Germany, and it was necessary to enlist and draft many men into the army. At that time the Medical Profession found to their susprise that 339o of those exam ined were medically unfit for service. And then, in gathering all these people together, epidem ics of influence and typhoid rag ed. Theodore Roosevelt claimed that during the Spanish Americ- an War he lost more men from typhoid fever and disentery than from bullets. Public health prob lems faced the various towns, al though public health and correc- tions in sanitation methods have been traced back to the time of Moses.
 Public health is primarily ed Ucational and the people must be willing to accept it as such, even for their own good. Public health laws are no good unless they are enforced. Dr. Snow in England was forced to take the handle off one of the public water pumps in order to prevent people from drinking the condemned water.
 Public health work in Alaska is confronted with a number of problems, one being the scarcity of population as to the large area of country. This makes the pr capita cost of public health much higher than elsewhere, al- though the public health has no monetary value, as it is intang-

Lions TO Hear OF
Var Scure On Sea

An unscheduled mystery cruise on
a German liner sailing the high seas
at the outbreak of the present Euro
pean war will be described at a dim
ner meeting of the Bluffton Lions
club at 6:15 p. m. next Tuesday in
the Walnut Grill.
Father Robert Maher, pastor of
the st. Marys Catholic church OF
Bluffton, will be the narrator.
Father Maher had embarked on a
German owned vacation cruise liner
Just before the war broke out; and
the ship was far from its New York
port when hostilities opened.
To avoid possible capture by
British ships, the passenger boat
steamed about for several days, far
off regular passenger lanes, and
finally landed it's passengers in Cuba,
instead of at United States port.

Exhibitors

Weather-that extremely uncertain
factor which so profoundly influences
human affairs and enterprises, was
kind to Bluffton's Agricultural fair
this year. With exception of heavy
fog on Wednesday morning, the open
ing day of the fair, the weather con-
ditions were ideal-in fact the warm
afternoon sunshine on Friday, the
closing day, was more reminiscent of
spring instead of the first week of
December with Christmas a little
more than two weeks in the offing.
A fine Guernsey calf was born
Thursday morning in the Guernsey
herd exhibited at the fair by Homer
Gratz, who operates a dairy farm
near Bluffton. The calf, bit wob-
bly, on its legs, was one of the at
fractions of the dairy cattle show
and was the center of interest espe-
cially for children.
And speaking of warm weather the

Friday afternoon reminded one OF
