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.

BOARD OF HEALTH METHODS.
Lecture Delivered by Dr. Egglestou at I
the Court House on Sunday. June
11.
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

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
