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

diseases of animal and plant life and
only $1,017,066 for the Investigation
and prevention of the diseases of man.

Tin- achievement *of the I >outsohla>nd

hot while lauding the success of the

that It i> not nearly so wonderful, con
sider I ni: the times, as were the Merrl
mac and the Monitor, which, more than
fifty years ago, met in deadly contliot
lu Hampton ltoads and wrote Into his
tory the death warrant of every wood
en uauil vessel In tho world. 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. Monitor^
wrought far mightier results than the
huthliug of the Deutschlaml ami her'
nu(*eess in landing her cargo in this
<h HI II try:
When a Baltimore Inventor and oth
ers some years ago though out the sub
marine idea and demonstrated to the
world Its success, they accomplished
more than the trip of the IHMitseliland,
for tho\ o| hmuhI the way and showtttl
the world how submarine boats could
bo built and o|?orated. 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. What an iiifinitc

A watch is intended to tell you the time of day. Unless
it does this accurately it is worse than useless, for it is
4Jke the man you cannot depend tipon. Many a man hap
twenty-five or thirty dollars tied up in a watch which is
worthless whten if he would invest a dollar or two for
having* it repaired he would get the full value of it.
Often a watch which does not keep proper time needs
regulating for which we make no charge. If it needs re
pairing our prices are more than reasonable/ and our
work is guaranteed.
