PREVENTION OF DISEASE GBEETED BY LOCAL BODY Dr. Bridges Tells of Methods- to Ward Off Sickness and Dr. Frankel Reads Paper on Convalescents. Care of the sick was discussed by phy fctcians and settlement workers at the Conference of Charities and Correction last night, with Nathan BIJur, chairman of that committee, presiding. A general report was made covering three phases of dealing with the sick prevention of disease, care of the sick in hospitals and in their own homes and convalescents. Dr. "Walter Lindley, of Los Angeles, read a paper on "The Actual Care of the Sick In Hospitals and in Their Own Homes." advocating the Institution of a hospital at a rate of n a day, which will be within the means of certain classes. Dr. Norman Bridge held that prevention of disease could only be accomplished by improved housing, sanitation and eco nomic conditions. The care of conva lescents from the medical standpoint was the subject of Dr. Lee Frankel's paper. In which he advocated suitable light em ployment for them. Mrs. B. H. Trum bull led this discussion and the others were led by Mrs. S. S. "Wise and Dr. 2C A. J. Mackenzie. Visit Open Air Sanatorium. The sectional meetings were of excep tional Interest yesterday morning and were well attended. In the afternoon many delegates accompanied Dr. "Woods Hutchinson to the open-air sanatorium where they were received by Mrs. H. B. Trumbull and the nurses in charge. Much Interest was excited by the little white city and the efforts. of Dr. Hutchinson and the Portland citizens who have worked to make the sanatorium a success heartily commended. The election of of ficers will be an important feature of this, the last day of the session. There has been no intimation from the com mittee which is preparing a ticket for presentation to the conference who will be selected for the high offices, and under the rules there can be no solicitation for office. Dr. Llndley's Paper. "The Actual Care of the Sick in Hos pitals and Care of the Sick In Their Homes," was the subject of the paper by Walter Lindley. M. D. LL. D., Los Angeles, Cal., dean of the Medical Col lege of the University of Southern Cali fornia, and president of the Board of Trustees of the "Wnlttier State School. In which he said: "From my standpoint there is yet room for another kind of hospital, and that is a place where workingmen and working-women can be cared for at from $3 to J8 a week. We, should do everything possible to give the clerk in the store, the laborer on the street, and the woman behind the sewing machine, good nurs ing and medical care without sending them to nn institution that is any way tainted with condescending charity. "In every city there is the clean, re spectable, well-managed, profitable ho tel where board and room can be pro cured for $1 a day. The people who stop there are just' as Independent. Just as worthy and Just as far from being pau pers as are patrons of the St. Regis in New York, the Bellevue-Stratford In Philadelphia, the Auditorium in Chicago or the hotel which bears the name of the beautiful city in which we are now stay ing. "What we need is the dollar-a-day hospital for the sick the independent, self-respecting sick. "By fitting up a dollar-a-day hospital for the sick, on the sarnc comparative general plan as the dollar-a-day hotel for the well, everything that Is necessary for prompt recovery can be done for the pa tient, and it can be made a business prop osition. "The most irritating thing on earth is pity. It rasps the soul what the sick person wants is care, not pity, and he l almost always willing to pay for that care, even beyond what his means Jus tify. Open AVay to Independence. "Our greatest mission Is to open thr way to those who desire to maintain a laudable independence. There are many who should, if possible, bo cared for at home. For Instance, the mother who. al though ill. can keep her family together: and the little child who can to a great extent be cared for by the mother. Wher. ever it Is possible, in all homes, whether of the worthy poor or worthy rich, par ents should not be encouraged to hand over the solf-sacrlflclng care of their cjill. dren to others. "It seems to me while thus advancing wc must be careful and not become too paternal, as a government. In the care of the people. It is very important that th individual parent should not be relieve. by his national parent of any of his re sponsibilities. Education, not care, should be, in a majority of cases, the chief work of visiting and hourly nurses " Dr. Norman Bridge said, on "The Pre vention of Disease": "The Influences that are potent in caus ing disease and death among the poor LPlXksaE" BWVWp'fti Z-r1M'lL' 'wKM -" B BsfcR'' " viiV'vi'3H 'ssssisssS-."?

G., which left Portland for Qresham July 13, re turned to Portland yesterday, after a week's target practice and maneuvers. Tee battery camped at Cedar Creek, one mile from Sandy, where ample room a' found for field practice and a good range found. Sunday .the battery was impeded by General FInxer and Colonels Haddell and Jackson, and made an ex cellent showing. The camp'w'aj named Camp Carll in honor of Lieutenant Carll. Pistol prac tice formed oms of the features of the encampment and the average shooting of the members was much better than expected. The encampment la said by the members -to have been one of the most suc cessful that the battery has had. and demonstrated that it would be able to go on a war footing on short notice. are not numerous and are easily cata logued. First Is bad ventilation of houses In cold weather. ' "It is safe to say that the breathing of bad air produces more diseases among the poor, directly and indirectly, than all other influences combined. Perhaps the second roost Important cause is the dan ger from disease germs coming In water, milk and other foods. Flies and mos qultos often carry disease to people. Flies carry typhoid gorms on their tangled feet j from Infected excretions of the body to I our food supply: they also carry tubercu- losls in the same way. Doors and wln 1 dows should be screened In the Summer time. A fourth cause of disease !a poor food, often poorly and even foolishly pre pared, and too much stimulation." Pupcr on Convalescents. I Dr. 1c K. Frankel's paper on "Conva. i lescents" contained many valuable sug 1 gestlons. Ho said: "If our hospitals and dispensaries - are unable to. provide properly for the sick from the standpoint oC time. If they' must be discharged when they are technically cured, but still weak and impotent, addi tional Institutions must bo created to meet their needs. Of equal importance, however, in effect Ing a completo cure of our patient Is provision for his family in his absence. It is 'better public policy, viewed from the standpoint of economy or any other, to make adequate provision. for .the man's family who Is Incapacitated- by illness and whose savings arc exhausted, than by permitting him to re turn to work In an enfeebled 'condition, to sow the seeds of more serious Illness and probably bring Into the world offspring puny and undersized."
