"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

ourselves, as to the marvelous ad

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

TSS Mmaat to tha AMmery of Paa-
Tisler. fteod and others
and without, and that oar f#«rs are
unnsseaaarUy aroused? If to. yoe

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

The oaly other suggestion I (bail
make thta evening :■ that «e should
foster the agencies already In our
hands which look toward the mainte
nance of health In the home En
lightened woman Is preeminently the
sanitarian of the home The State
of South Carolina provide# a "model
home at Winthrop college for the
training of her daughters in home
economics and sanitation From the
front gate to the remotes* recesaes
of the backyard you will find the
rules as provided by the State board
of health rigidly enforced. 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. Fcarth, we ehoald

Southern Hank Men Pa«s Resolutions
Expressing Their Appreciation of
the Government's Efforts to Co-op

Sections of the Country.
Tentative plans for the distribu

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

Its deslr** to faithfully serve the needs
of the whol** country

PROTECTING THE CONSUMER.
The Different Grades of Gasoline Is
Prescribed by Department.
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.
