HBANK OF MANNING BUY WAR SAVINGS STA MPS PUT HEALTH MEASURE FIRST Value of Proper Civic Conditions Can. not Be Estimated in Dollars and Cents. The cost of public playground parks and similar recreational features for the benefit of all our people drops into insignificance when compared with the priceless value of safeguarding tte health of our men, women and clil dren, and the knowledge that we are doing our full duty in creating condi tions which will Increase happiness, elevate morals and produce better citi zens. The physique of people in cities Is deteriorating, and the only way It can be safeguarded and made more efficient is through proper provision of light and air, which are hygienically basic, and healthful amusement, fun and recreation, which are the greatest lubricants for physical welfare and the greatest protection for moral health. The ideal of a city, however, must rise above mere commercial and in dustrial supremacy, taking the higher ground of becoming an attractive, composite home for its residents, both of large and small means, as well as for the stranger within its gates. While the wealthier class of citizens In any community can build up beau tiful residence sections on well-laid out avenues and boulevards, what will become of those who have neither or ganization nor money to aid them in intelligently planning the most meager comforts of ordinary home surround ings? The Interests of the inhabitants of the most unfortunate districts must be safeguarded.-Chicago News. FOR BETTER PUBLIC HEALTH Attention of Rural Communities Drawn to Necessary Steps in That Direction. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Much remains to be done in rural districts, according to the annual re port of the secretary of agriculture, to control such pests as mosquitoes and the hookworm, to eliminate the sources of typhoid fever, and, even more, to give the country districts' the advantage of modern' hospitals, nurs ing and specialized medical -practice. Noting that many agencies, some of them private enterprises with large funds, are working for Improvement, the report says that the department of agriculture, through its home demon stration service, is giving valuable aid, and the public-health service is in creasingly extending its functions. To what extent the further projec tion of effort is a matter for state or local action remains to be deter mined, says the secretary, but It seems clear that there should be no cessation of activities until there has been completed in every rural com munity of the Union an effective sani tary service and, through the provi sion of adequate machinery, steps taken to control and eliminate the sources of disease and to provide the necessary modlern medlical anmd dental faeilities, enalily accessible to the mass of the people.
