"Health and the Home" was the suhL'ert of an address delivered by K. A. Hines, M. D., of Seneca, Secre tary of the South Carolina Medical Association* at the "Permanent Homes" session of the Conference for the Common C.ood, held Wednes day night in the Columbia Theatre. Dr. Hines remarks are given here in full: The health conditions of the home and the home life in this country, owing to our freedom of thought and action have given sanitarians the moat difficult problems they have had to face. The man's home is his castle and his rights sacred. In far too many instances such a man considers the health officer an invader of his rights and privileges rather than as a guardian angel. Many times the home presents the weakest link in the entire chain of preventive niede- cine, whereas it should lx* the strong est. Indeed the very foundation of mu nicipal sanitation is the home and the •ame Is true In great measure in the smaU town and rural district It would he of intense Interest to trace historically the intricate relationship between the health of the individual, the State, the nation and the home V¥« would Bad this edifice frequently to have )>eea ballt upon the aanda of Ignorance, blinded predjudlce. and ilagulded Judgment rather than upon the aoltd rock of teb unael’ish recog nition of the truths of sanitary sci ence John Howard Payne had In ■ lad the lde«l when be penned his Ignmortal poem. ‘Home.

In or der to bo ecforced and to be of any ▼aJue must be understood and backed by the public. It la extremely Impor tant then for legal and social reasons wo loae no opportunity to Inform ourselves, as to the marvelous ad vance in scientific knowledge regard ing the causes of disease, ’he meth ods of transmission and th" most ef fective means of prevention. The rmpid advance of scientific knowledge today not only In medicine but all along; the line In the allied sciences fill us with wonder. Scarcely a year passes that some actual life saving remedy or measure has not been brought forward for our benefit. It is almost inconceivable that but little over 100 hundred years ago our forefathers were burning witches at'the stake. I mention this here be cause to a certain extent the witch may be considered the predecessor of the modern scientist. At a time when no systematic knowledge of na ture existed, it was taken for grant ed that the future could be predicted and controlled by appropriate ac tions and expressions, through symr pathetic magic, or potent formulas, of whjch the **wlBe , ‘ man or woman waa the repository, often possessing alAo such skill in the use of drugs, simple or surgery as belonged to the period. The discoverers of the fact that many of the most deadly dis eases were caused by germs placed at OBce their Ingen on one of the most rel—skls spots of tbs boms and TSS Mmaat to tha AMmery of Paa- Tisler. fteod and others and without, and that oar f#«rs are unnsseaaarUy aroused? If to. yoe are ■tstaksa. Listen: ta tbs Lancet- Clinic of Jaly l we find tho follow ins A bouss of aeves rooms la which loo men sleop d.tly wa^ discovered yesterday by the police of 3outh Chi cago. The roomers are employed In tho steel mills nearby and sleep In eight hour shifts. The officers were called to tho palce to investigate a reported death. Groping their way along narrow alales through tiers of cots, upon each a aleeper, they found one of the lodgers to be seriously ill. Commenting upon the situation this leading Journal of the middle West says: "What possible contribution to the happiness and worthiness of a nation can such a herd as this make? There is not even a pretense of real American citizenship among any of them—although it Is quite probable that many, if not all of them, vote at Chicago’s elections. No homes, no wives, no children, no interest in schools or churches, the drama or art. They are indeed ‘tolling ver min.’ In many Instances the Amer ican family whose family a few years ago had a home of their )\vn where the children grew up at the public school and had a card at the public library and a pew in the church, and n family physician who was a family friend—this man Is gone, lie and his family, the schools, the churches and the family physician, and wo have in place of him and his neighbors. 300 men sleeping in seven rooms fit for nothing but to destroy our civiliza tion and disseminate the filth dis eases that wait hungrily upon over crowding, exhaustion and ftifiirlg at mospheres. This picture may be ■ lightly overdrawn but that It Is pos sible at all in this country should serve as a warning We are here this evening. I be lieve. not so much to discuss theories aa to enunciate facta and endeavor to map out something definite for the future To this end therefore I shall briefly direct rny remarks There ta no doubt tn my mind but that the home owner geaeruily ■ peaking, stands for the b< *t cltlien ship Others will point on* how this may he arrompitched I deetre to en courege however the Idea from the TiEI MAPI PUN °^ c nr WOFFORD COLLEGE SPARTANBURG.

Every woman'* college In the State should own such an equipment. The Fed eration of Woman's Clubs has done much to disseminate a knowledge of hygiene and sanitation in the home. We should frankly acknowledge this and further encourage their work. I believe that there is today no invest ment wliich pays so well as carefully directed sanitation. The State of South Carolina receives today more lasting benefits from her appropria tion to the tSate board of health than any other appropriation she makes, how much is it? you ask. About $20,- 000. A sum much less than the great majority of States expend for this purpose. Where are the dividends on this outlay? In every community lives are saved by free antitoxins, practicaly free treatment of hook worm disease, free vaccine virus, free anti-typhoid vaccine, free treatment for rabies and free Information on tfll sanitary subjects . It is cl?arly con ceded that our board has for the past five years done more with lees money than any other State health board in the United States. In conclusion and to summarize so that we may grasp somehlng tangible and concrete: I recommend, first, marriage as an in stitution conducive to a long and bealtful existence. Second, we should pass a law insuring the union of oaly the strong and healthy man and woman. Third, we ahonid pro vide for onr girts specific training in sanitary, eeianoe.

Tentative plans for the distribu tion of the South's share of the $50,- 000,000 of Government deposits to be placed with the banks in the agri cultural States to assist in the fall movement of the crops were agreed upon at conferences in Washington Thursday between officials of the treasury department and about one hundred bankers representing thirty six Southern cities. Final plans, in cluding the allotment of »he South ern banks' share will not be announc ed until after the conferences with Western bankers and with those from the Pacific coast. The South- •rners asked that they be given at least half of the total to be depos ited. At the conclusion of the confer ence resolutions were adopted ex pressing appreciation of the Admin istration's proposed relief and agree ing to the terms and conditions im posed. The bankers also, by resolu tion. expressed confidence in the Ad ministration and the belief that its oo-operatlon In aaslstlng in the move ment of the crop was an Indication of Its deslr** to faithfully serve the needs of the whol** country i-ater the hankers called at the White House where they were re ceived and addresaed by President Wilson The President told the del • gallon that the banka of the roan try would be treated on an equality While the presidents rrm«rks were • *f a confidential character an 1 the banker* were bwiih to dlv *a them tt became known that the President made !• p'a n 'hat 'he puri~>». of !. !* 1 d m I n lat • a' on »>.u ) (,.>? be >,> per rvt all an era t^-'»«-en • a n » • 'n ’ J L ’ ' » at.

Prescribing the standards to which the several grades of gasoline allow ed to be sold in South Carolina must conform, and the brands containers thereof must carry, there was issued Monday by the State department of agriculture, commerce and industries, an order effective August 15. Grades listed are "extra high,” "high," med ium" and "low”. The sale of low gasoline will be permitted only for certain purposes and not for the gen eral trade. Gasoline will be judged by their flash point under the Elliott closed cup method, their specific grav ity (ordinary and Beaume) and their quality upon diitilatlon.
