CHARGE OF mPIROPER i si: or powfr PREFERRED, Xgrkculturnl fWllttnt Asks that Food Expert In* "Permitted to Re sjsja,** Washington, July 13.?Dr. Harvey \V. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agri? culture, has been condemned by a i ommittee on personnel of the de? partment of agriculture with recom? mendation to President Taft that "he be permitted to resign." It is charged that Dr. Wiley per? mitted an arrangement to he made with Dr. H? H. Pushy, a pharmacon osiwt of Columbia Unlvanityi for com? pensation in excess of that allowed by law. Attorney Ge -oral Wickersham rec? ommended approval of the commit? tees action in an opinion submitted to the President. It la claimed that the arrangement was to put Dr. Rushy on the pay roll of the Government at HI,600 a year as an employee of the bureau of chem? istry, an agreement being made with him that he should bo called upon to perform only such service as this salary would compensate for, and he was to get $20 per day for laboratory investigations and $50 per day for at? tendance In Court. Attorney General Wickersham held that the law permitted the payment of only $9 a day, this 3um later be? ing increased to $11 a day. The committee and the Attorney General also have recommended the dismissal of Dr. Rusby and the re? duction of Dr. A. f. Kebler. chief of the division of bureaus of the depart? ment of agriculture. The committee further recommends that Dr. W. D. Bigelow, assistant chief of the bureau of chemistry, also be given an oppor? tunity to resign. President Taft has not indicated what action he will take in the cases. The matter has become public only now, although the investigation was begun last March. Attorney General Wickersham's recommendation on the rase bears date of May 13. Piesldent Taft has forwarded all the papers in the case to Dr. Wiley, and will take no action until he re? ceives a personal statement from him. Prt ld< I * high regard for Dr. Wiley has been attacked almost constantly since the pure food law went into effect. It has been claim? ed that his rulings have been unduly harsh and unjust. He has regarded Dr. Rusby as one of his most valuable assistants. Dr. Rusby charges there was a one ? iled presentation of the CMS to the Attormy General. He also says he had no means of knowing the arrange? ments made with him was irregular. How's This?

This subject was assigned to me by one ol the clerical members of your committee) and 1 am going to avail myself of the privilege which his profession ao generously practices, and Ignore my text very largely. The Laws as to Boards of Health. The iaws of this State provide that in towns of five thousand inhabitants or less, it becomes the duty of the Mayor with the consent of the council to appoint five persons not members of council as a board Of health. One member Of this board shall be a reputable physician of at least two years practice, in towns of over five thousand inhabitants this board may be increased to twenty. The members of this board are to take the same oaths of office as is tak? en by the Mayor and council. They are to organize by the appointment of a Secretary and a Health Otlicer; both of whom the law contemplate:; shall be paid officers. This board i.; required to meet at least monthly. Necessity of a Board of Health. The Hoard of Health should be an integral part of the municipal gov- ! eminent of each town. It is much I more important in the final analysis than the water commission, or the street commission, or any other com mission. The public is being educated with wonderful rapidity to the value of health conservation. Public health measures and general sanitary laws are rapidly assuming an importance that was undreamed of even five years ago. In a short time the Con? servation that deals with the health and life of our people will vastly over? shadow that Conservation of national resources about which we have heard so much of late. Personnel of the Hoard. It 13 a necessity nowadays that our boards Of health be selected with some view as to the qualifications of the in? dividual members. Tho old custom of appointing such kindly disposed men as would serve out of sheer pa? triotism must be abandoned. Men mtist he gotten on these boards who will give their best and hones; ef? forts to the problems which are press? ing for their attention. And it fol? lows that sooner or later they must Ibe paid for their w ork. There may be those who will gladly contribute .1.(3, ?...vj w. g certain duties and expected to show results. Consequently I say that the soonei the boards of health are paid for their work In common with other municipal servants the sooner will we get something tangible from them. The Power! of the Boards. The laws of this State clothe the boards of health with very large powers. There is no paucity of law to handicap their most advanced ideas of public health requirements, Tin? coui is have sustained repeatedly the |;tcal hoards in their effort! for the protection of the community and the individual. Public Sentiment ami the Board. it is very necessary that the board have behind them the support and the cooperation of the Mayor and coun< li. (otherwise they can make little headway. The problem of san? itation has been so simple m our lit tb town because we have always had a Mayor and council ready to enact ?uggestions into ordinances, and to enforce them vigorously, The danger that is at hand and demands action is. a:; I have said, amply provided for in th< laws of our state. But the dan? gers which are to be forestalled, the public health measures Which deal with the prevention of some evil of the future are the ones which de? mand the sympathy and support of tin- council to whom they are sug? gested to i>.. enacted into law. it i< necessary- to a larger extent that the public cooperate with the health boards. And hero we come to the question of Board of Health .Methods proper. Health ordinances should generally speaking be promul? gated one at a time. and each en? forced kindly ami nrmly until it is acquiesced in. The enactment and arbitrary enforcement of several drastic health laws will largely de? feat their purpose. Public sentiment must be behind no law to a larger ex? tent than a sanitary law. It is after ail a matter of education. Bui peo? ple are reasonable. Our older peo? ple to whom this wonderful gospel of the preservation of individual and community health, comes as a start? ling departure from the customs of their youth, are n-adv to listen ami to learn, Our schooli are turning out from year to year hundreds of chil? dren whose young unbiased minds are filed with the teachings of personal and public cleanliness, Disease and sickness are things for- general dis? cussion and general information to? day more than ever; and it is best so from every angle, if it Inculcate at tin seme time the knowledge o personal hygiene j tlve measures. Physicians; have their hands more than tilled with the ills already implanted with disease in the concrete. They encourage all knowl? edge which deals with the purpose of preventing disease and keeping people well. So !?. does seem, that the people are ready for this great work in their behalf. They must be led along however, not antagonized Ith overxealous overabundi nt regu itions. It is their right generally speaking to he given a reason; to be to be given a demonstration of the wisdom and of the results of health egulat ions. The First Lesson of Public Health Regulations. The tirst and greatest lesson to be aught in public health measures as ipplled to the individual, is that he is a mere incident. The measures in? stituted are for the benefit of the whole, and benefit him only as part of the whole. He must he taught that while he may feel it his privilege to risk smallpox or to have it rather than he vaccinated, and many of us would so like to see a good healthy case com ' upon some of these pesti? ferous antl-vaccinationtsts, yet he can? not be permitted to endanger his own or his neighbors family by the in? dulgence of his own folly. certain number will resent and resist the methods of our boards of health as an infrin^ment of their personal lib? erties, and their rights. They claim the privilege of assuming the risk of sickness and infection if they like. And with this class of people there is no argument so ellleaeious, as the mere statement that personally the authorities do not care a great deal whether they get sick or not?that they are after the protection for their Innocer.t and helpless families and their neighbors who do care or who ought to. Work That Has Boon Done by the Hoards of Health. In the towns that have paid any attention to the matter of sanitation there has been accomplished already a vast deal more than people are aware of. The older generation may contrast the old careless days with these days which have forever ban? ished from the communities the pig and the pig pen; required the dis? position of excreta of all kinds; made impossible the unregulated burial of the dead in the city limits; protected the free communication with the in Ifectious and contagious sick; relegat I ed to the nast the absolute disregard course. i ..v. .. ...v o made on the mosquito you have heard about from those who can tell you of its great value and easy accom? plishment. Any South Carolina town which does not take up this measure for the public health and comfort is not well begun on sanitary regulation. What is to be Done. Many towns are now placarding with lar^e printed boards each house which has within a case of mumps or measles or whooping cough or german measles or any other of those diseases which we were taught. In childhood we are hound to have and which perforce should be sought and not avoided and the matter gotten through with. The coming gener? ations will to a larKe and larger pro portion go to their graves without th< e so-alled minor ailments. And it cannot be too strongly preached that none of the.m are to be desired, and th:it man>' of them have a large mortality rate. This scheme of pla? carding appeals to us as wise, and af? fording to those who wish to avoid diseases, the proper opportunity. Tin* fly problem is our n? Nt concern and we must confidently look for it? solution in the near future. When it Is mastered there will have been re? moved a disease spreading, disease producing agency which in the opln Ion of many sanitarians, is respon? sible f'?r more of our troubles than almost all other factors combined. At first blush it h.uks to be a very big problem. i>ut circumstances arc going to ai<l us in this fight to this extent. The automobile which Is rapidly replacing the horse except on the farms, will soon remove tho horse from our towns and thuji remove the j stables which are aim. bi entirely re? sponsible for their bre< ding. When ' tlie horse is gone it will be no great I hardship to prohibit the keeping of! either horse or cow in the city limits j ?for after all it is an anomoly that those of US who enjoy the many privil- | eges of the cities?should not he re-j quired to give tip the horse and the cow as well as the pig which are distinctly the comforts and the ap? purtenances of the farm. Public Health as an Economic Fac? tor. There are many here who will sup? port my statement that the portion of this State lying below Columbia en? joys the reputation up-State of being distinctly unhealthy, and uninhabi? table for the hot months. Up coun? try people believe that one cannot live down here and escape malaria and they do not come here willingly or even visit here except after frost We physicians know that it is suffi? cient for a person from this part of the country to get sick up-State, to have the diagnosis of malaria made by doctor and layman. You know the expression: ";t is that low coun? try milaria coming out." Whether it Is indigestion, or biliousness, or headache or what not it means up there malaria and quinine. Now our own people are largely responsible for this tradition. What . more natural for the up-country folks to believe a thing that the low country planter himself believed and lent color to year after year by mov? ing bis family up-country with the first hot days. This belief that we are malarious and that our country' Is not healthy has done lower South Carolina great harm. I have waited for some years for some one to point out the econo? mic aspect of this matter; drive home the fact that we cannot ever come in? to our own in the way of intellectual and material advancement until we demonstrate its absurdity, and attract that outside population which is es? sential to the best dexeopment of any section or community. Consider for a moment that our big colleges dent that it is so. They are there because it s believed to be healthier than lure, and the low country has acquiesced in it. Our manuafoturing industries are up-State. Only in very recent years have two cloth mills been able to exist below Columbia. It was a tradition thr.t no cotton cloth mill could succeed below Columbia. Why? Bee' use the mill people, In common with all other up-country people, believe to come to the low country mea.is to be sick and in bad health. And they do not come and will not come, and our section has not the population to create 'his la? bor centre which is the very life of j j the manufacturing Piedmont The : Piedmont did not originally have j people of thedr own either, but it Is well known that the labor problem is one of the lesser ones up there, and that North Carolina and Tennessee pour Into that section all the labor they need. Today thousands of their help are idle by the Closing down of the mills. Will they come to Dar? lington or to Hartsvllle? Not on any Inducement, for we are In common with all the low country believed to be unhealthy. Some years since J made these same remarks before s meeting of the Pee Dee Medtcal As? sociation. The attitude towards it Blood Was Wrong All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable, scientific, tunic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly, I yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system., relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system, and toning up the nerves. During the past half century, thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine. Ctake the ?RDUS VtomanfeTonic Mrs, Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C, she says: "I was not able to do my own housework. My stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back? ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now I am in the best health 1 have ever been. I can never prais? Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women. Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try Cardui Write to: Ladle*' Advisor? Dept.. Chatunooga Mt<J1dn? Co.. Chattattootit Tenn^ lor Special Imtnctions, and 64 page book.

Figure the amount of mon? ey which this one project has de? prived the people of that community of. And suc h Instances ^an be dup! cated many times. Now the error of this traditioo must be established, our healthful n.-ss must be preached constantly and we must insist on being distinguish? ed from that small area near the coast which is not inhabitable by white man. We cannot get about this mat-^ ter better in my judgment, or make greater progress by any other means, than inciting the towns of our low country to greater diligence in sani? tary mutters. Keep and publish vital statistics and yon ".ill be agreeabl surprised to find how favorable thej compare to the towns of any part of the State or the South. And it will give an argument which cannot be controverted. Fight the mosquito. Malaria is our chief est sin in the 'yes of the up-a country. It is a very manageable* thing. Careful consistent work will sooi* make malaria a thing of the past and at the same time remove the comfort-destroying mosquito. It seems to me that the malarial prob? lem has been avoided from a false sense of the magnitude of the worU0 Our people talk drainage, and im? mediately a*:'iOciate this with State or national ah".. It will be years before the national government can suaded or the State governt come able to undertake thi And then it will have no gr< |* on the malarial problem. Is purely an economic problem?its -? suits are material, and beneficial to health only incidentally.
