Kt'KAL HEALTH IS FIRST I>I!TY Tremendous I^osses Each Year From Two Preventable Diseases. Washington, 1). C\. July 17. ? "The estimated economic loss which our na tion suffers each year from typhoid fever and malaria alone aggregates $0i?8.234,880. leaving out of entire ac count the sorrow, the unhapplness, the misery, and the inefficiency which fol low In their train." Senator Joseph 10. Itansdcll. of Ix>uisiana today ad dressed the ftenate on the subject of "Rural Health ? America's First Duty." "The greatest asset which our country can have" said Senator Ransdell, "Ik the healthy American eltiaen, and val uable as it may be to increase the health of livestock and vegetation, it is of far greater importance that we throw every possible safeguard about the health of the man who is responsi ble for that livestock and vegetation. Over 000 million dollars l<wt every year! A sum which is suflicient to put our country into a state of prepared ness equal to that of any nation in the world, enough money to give us the largest navy afloat and the most effi cient army which the world has ever seen, is annually offered up as a sac rifh'e to two diseases which are entirely pi v.ventable. Enough money to pay the annual expenses of every college stu .ton* in the United States is absolutely thrown away every year." - Senator Hansdell estimates the graud total loss from typhoid fever at $271,032,880 per annum, and the loss from malaria at $004,004,750 per year: titer total per capita loss from these two diseases 1h? ing $0.40. By comparative estimates 1JL was shown that the United States Government appropriated $3,01 0,17ft for tiie investigation and prevention of the diseases of animal and plant life and only $1,017,066 for the Investigation and prevention of the diseases of man. * m DO YOU KNOW THAT?

In that achievement each section? the South, with Its Inadequate shipbuilding facili ties. bringing forth the Merrlmac. and the North, with Its hotter industrial facilities, producing .the.

All that has been accomplished slnee then is merely a larger development of tho demonstra tion. which they gave of the feasibility of boats traveling under the sea. While giving due credit to (iorniany for the heutschland.-lt is not wise for this country to bo swept oft' Its foot In a spirit of enthusiasm which would ov erlook what the- South and the" NorFIi achieved in the Merrlmac and the Mon itor. and what a Halt imoroan wrought when he built' the tlrst submarine. Noi ls it wise to overrate the moaning of t he Hcutsrhlnnd. However great may be the Influence of the voyage of the Deutschlaml upon international law and uj?on the world's commerce, we do not believe that the trip of this boat or continued trips of any number of submarine merchant ships tln^t may foil oh: will in the slight est. change the outcome of Kurope's war no.- delav the inevitable defeat of HohcnKollcrnism.
