HEALTH MEASURE. I Senator Henry M. Sage of Albany i ami Assemblyman II. Kdmund Machold of Jt fTercon County have Introduced In both houses of the Legislature a bill providing for a. comprehensive exten- sion of the public health work of the State through the establishment of a system x>f. statewide health eenterss with an appropriation of state funds to- supplement the expenditures made by communities in carrying on the work. The bill is generally regarded as epochal in public health work—as the most notable measure of its kind In, this State since the new Public Heailth Law of.J.913, which has since been widely copied by other States, It has the approval of the State Department of Health and many other medicaL.ex*. J pTTFtS. If Is also in line with the rec- ommendations made by .the sub-com- mittee on he'ilth of the Governor's Re- construction Commission, and his ap- proval or the bill, when passed, is re- gardcij as assured. The bill makes provision for annual State grants for liogpitals and clinics -and for their op- eration, these amounts to supplement moneys provided by the communities. Provision is also made for pay pa- tients whose fees will contribute toward the maintenance of the health centers. , In a word, the purpose of the bill is (o make available to the general public in rural as well as urban communities all over the State, the advantages of adequate, modern, CURRENT COMMENT Smaller Cities of N«w York.

In one case, Kingston, there is a slight loss in population, Ies than i per cent, In the others there Is as increase running from 1 t o 20 per cent.

We consume 97 per cent of our dairy products at home which is a pretty good recommendation medical, Jsurgjcal.jio.,. sa44-dairy predttets^Tlie cu,v pop- .5?^^lLs. n -<J.dI(US3ioslJU: facilities-.- for-futetien- ~vt\~ttar~itnSTeS~'Sfsi f e»\\bVf ore. vention of disease. The' bill author- izes the esFablishment of health cen- ters by a county, city, or consolidated health district. Senator Sage points out that while medical science has made extraordin- ary advances during the last twenty- it is estimated at 23,467,000. Germany had a cow population \of 11,000,000 be- fore the war, but this has dwindled to 7.683,000. Japan has only 1,000,0000 cows and Switzerland has 738,000. The per capita consumption of butter is largest in Australia,, where 26 pounds is estimated. \ New Zealand uses 22 Inatiuns and so many temptations tot-medical practice, Including laboratory five- years, the benefits resulting from pounds per capita and the United these discoveries are available, gen- erally speaking,-for only a small frac- tipa of the population. It is only in the largrer cities and especially in connec- tion with large hospitals and teaching centers that the best type of modern spend lnrgo amounts. The senator proposes to limit pro- convention expenditures on behalf of any candidate to $10,000 for each state.- Tho personal expenses of the candi- date tor traveling, postage, distributing letters and circulars, and for telegraph and telephone seryjce t &re not includ- ed. Whether, this- amount la large facilities, consultation of specialists, and other benefits of group medicine arc available. Tho purpose of the Sage-Machold bill, jtherefore, Is \ t o make efficient medical and surgical service more gen- ernlly available, to nrovMn m,,i„.i.j.u- enough to take care of natural and+ity of service can and will be obtaine'd. legitimate expenditures in a big state like New York-or Illinois is a debat- able question. It might be better, to fix the maximum aceSrafhg to popula- tion. But the total sum-permitted in ..this bill^£4M.01M*dSi«effi»-ie be-a-pretty liberal amount for the purpose. It is doubtful whether so much was evor quate compensation for medical and surgical service so that a better qual- to furnish State aid so that the health centers tan be provided and, through State supervision, their medical work can bo standardized And a higher qual- ity of service insured. It is-behe* t-d that thp plan proposed in the Sage-Machold bill •States 17 pounds. Italy is the small- est consumer of butter, three pounds per capita being its limit. The aver- age dally consumption of dairy pro- ducts in this country is 16 ounces of milk, 76 ounces of butter, 50 ounces of ice cream, 49 ounces of condensed milk 13 ounces of cheese and a smalt amount of milk powder.

He' had found time to enjoy the view from tho monument. ion that commercial power of the next century will be diteimined by oil, which has been secured by Britain. J.i t America have the world's gold, England may say; gold has been dis- placed by oil In the place of power. When gold controlled, Britain had It.

As a general thing, you'll find that tho more any particular city brags about its increase of population since the last census, the more trouble it is having in keeping up its \housing ac- commodations, its schools, paving, sewers, water supply and garbage col- lection, and the fewer convenience It has to offer new residents. , Lofty Asparagus. —Thpy were \very young ami Very hap- py, and very, foolish and very newly wed.
