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 "

FIRST BATTERY
FIELD ARTILLERY
O. N. G.,
BREAKS CAMP
AND RETURNS TO
PORTLAND
Ftxst Battery, field artillery, O. X. 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."
