( THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 7, 1917. 21 HEALTH BOARD ASKS FOR LARGER STAFF NEWLY ELECTED OFFICERS AND RETIRING PRESIDENT OF OREGON IRRIGATION CONGRESS, Doctor Says Crying Need Of The Woman Of Today IsfMore lron In Her Blood Two Physicians, Nurse and Stenographer Declared to Be Needed by Body. TO PUT STRENGTH IN HER NERVES AND COLOR IN HER CHEEKS. Any Woman Who Tires EasUy, la Nervous or Irritable or Looks Pale, Haggard and Worn Should Have Her Blood Examined for Iron Deficiency. SCOPE OF WORK IS SHOWN f v - . Vv w - A Health of Commonwealth Is Said to ISo Menaced by Carelessnessof Some Physicians in Report ing Communicable Cases. Four additions to the force of the State Board of Health for carrying for ward more efficiently the work of that body are urged in the seventh biennial report of the Eoard to the Governor and the 29th Legislative Assembly. The additional members of the force de clared necessary are a school nurse for the inspection of school children and to supervise school sanitation; a deputy health officer who is an epi demiologist, to act as alternate for the State Health Officer; a field repre sentative to over the state and ex tend the activities of the Board among the public, and a stenographer to take care of increased office work. Of the necessity for the increased force the report says: "These additions are necessary be cause there is an absence in the state of any organized effort for ths preven tion and control of tuberculosis; there Is an absence of any regular child hygiene or Infant welfare department; there is an epidemiologist needed to supervise the suppression of com municable diseases; there exists an ab sence of systematic rural and city school sanitation; in approving the in stallation of municipal sewage and water systems the services of a con sulting engineer are necessary to p.ss on the plans and specifications sub mitted, as well as making trips of in spection. Field Representatives TCeeded. "Without going into confusing de tails, permit it to be stated that it is absolutely impossible to prosecute the previously mentioned Board of Health activities, as well as other correlative work, with no field representatives." Births recorded by the board during the blennlum amounted to 24,520, of which 12,581 were males and 11,989 .females. Death certificates received reached a total of 13,458, of which 8035 were males and 6423 females. The increase In births over the pre ceding blennlum was 2728 and the In crease in deaths 920. During the same period there were 9505 marriages in the state. Lax Physicians Rebuked. The failure of many physicians to report cases of communicable diseases is scored as being a great hindrance to the efficient work of the board in con trolling epidemics of such diseases. The report says of this: "Good health statutes and board of health rules exist for the control of communicable diseases, but failure of local health administrations to enforce them defeats their purpose. There is a failure on the part of many physicians to report or quarantine contagious or communicable diseases, and this condi tion will continue to exist as long as the Board of Health is Inadequately provided for and has no field repre sentative to enforce health statutes and health rules and regulations." The organization of the vital statls 'tics department is mentioned as para mount in the work of the board during tne past Dlennlum. The total expenses of carrying for- wara the work of the board for the Dlennlum from September 30, 1914, to September 30, 1916, Is shown by the re port to have been J29.S60.15. The report is signed by the members of the board as follows: Dr. W. B. Morse, president; Dr. A. C. Seely, Dr. E. B. Pickel, Dr. Andrew C Smith. Dr. E. A. Pierce, Dr. M. B. Marcellus and Dr. David N. Rob erg, secretary and state health officer. SHOP REMOVAL DECRIED IIILLSBORO CHARGES RAILWAY WITH TTNFRIEADLY ACT. Resolution of Protest Adopted at Mass Meeting la to Be Presented to ' Southern Pacific Company. HILLSBORO. Or.. Jan. 6. (Special.' A citizens' mass meeting at the Com mercial Club last night adopted a reso lution, addressed to the Southern Pa cific, declaring that the removal of the division terminal from Hlllsboro to Brooklyn was regarded as an unfriend ly act. A committee headed by Mayor J. M. Wall and including Edward Schulmerich, J. H. Garrett. Sam Well, J. W. Connell and W. G. Hare will present the resolutions to company officials. The meeting was largely attended, and retaliation was suggested. It was declared that Hlllsboro money and In fluence figured largely in securing right of way for the Tillamook branch and, later, when the West Side line was electrified, the company received free right of way through the center of the city. The removal of the terminal means several families of employes will be transferred to Portland. A company representative present explained that the move was necessary because it was found that the division from Tillamook to Hlllsboro could not be covered with In the 16-hour limit, and the run will now be from Wheeler to Portland. He said that the change was only tem porary. Another resolution directed that the secretary take up with the Railway Commission the question of physical connection of the Southern Pacific and Oregon Hllectric at Hlllsboro. R. W.

INVESTORS' Dr. Macplierson Declares That Sec ond Only to Financing; Projects Is Kecesity for Aiding Set tlers on Irrigated Lands. (Continued From First Paga curity for loans from rural credit funds. If it is found that loans thus cannot be made, the Legislature is memorialized to submit an amendment to the rural credits amendment to the voters, to the end that lands within ir rigation districts may not be denied the benefits of the rural credits fund. Attention of the Federal Farm Loan Board also la directed to the impor tance to the West of construction by it of the Federal law which will permit loans within irrigation districts. The plan .for the appointment of a special committee, composed of one member from each of the 17 irrigation districts, to assist in organizing Irri gation work and assembling data, was adopted. It also was resolved to ob tain information regarding the pro ductivity, values. Quality of crops and soil and other information required by bond buyers, bankers, prospective set tlers and Investors, in connection with irrigation projects throughout the Northwest. The secretary was allowed a sum not to exceed $100 in collecting the data. The offer of John S. BealL of Portland, to print the statistics at his own expense was accepted. Assessment xf 5 Made. It was voted to call upon each o ganlzation holding a membership In the congress for the payment of to and to charge a like sum to all new members coming into the congress. J. T. Hinkle, of Hermiston, one of the pioneer lrrigationlsts in the state, was elected president of the congress by acclamation after John W. Brewer, of The Dalles, declined the nomination for re-election. H. W. Gard, of Madras, was chosen first vice-president: R. E. Brad bury, of Klamath Falls, second vice- president: Porter J. Neff, of Medford, third vice-president. F. N. Wallace, of Tumalo, was re-elected secretary. Mr. Hinkle served as secretary of the congress In 1913 and 1914, and was ac tlve in building up the membership and promoting legislation affecting irriga tion work. He has been a resident of Umatilla County for 30 years and was one of the builders of the Hinkle ditch, one of the first irrigation enterprises in Eastern Oregon. Mr. Brewer, the retiring president, also has been active in Irrigation work, and has taken spe cial interest in the work of the congress since its organization six years ago. The congress extended him a rousing vote of thanks. One of the valuable papers presented view, shown - Z7-ZI' Ss . ...,... a. esse . t !

First Vice-President. before the congress was that on the discussion of the attitude of investors toward Irrigation .bonds by John A. Keating, president of the Lumbermen's Trust Company, of Portland. Mr. Keat ing declared that the need for irriga tion construction in Eastern Oregon was generally recognized and earnest ly desired and made suggestions for attracting capital In carrying on irri gation work. Just prior to Mr. Keatlng's address President Brewer electrified the con gress by reading a telegram from A. V. Trow announcing the sale on Friday In Malheur County of the Warm Springs Irrigation district's issue of (750.000 6 per cent construction bonds to the Lumbermen's Trust Company. The bonds brought 95)4. and will bo re deemed serially from 1938 to 197. "Disposition is not lacking on the part of the financial people to engage In business of financing these proj ects," said Mr. Keating. "What has to be done is to put the projects in such shape and formulate the Issues in such way that the public will take the securities from the underwriting, houses. "In California a very active business has been done and many large projects have been financed. For this there are purely local reasons. Dry farming has been practiced on a largo scale for many years, and the large areas have sufficient accumulated wealth and pro ductive capacity to serve as a credit basis for moderate. issues of bonds. In these districts nearly 100 per cent of the lands already is in cultivation. The districts are good for the debt whether or not the Irrigation projects succeed. The Legislature has provided that state banks can deposit California irrigation securities to secure public funds. This is an expedient which has attracted attention in other states. This is done only when the irrigation securities themselves already have at tained a standing in the financial mar kets. "Conditions differ radically, in Ore gon and the situation in other Western states is very similar to that in Ore gon. It is to the Eastern market that these Western states will .have to look for the capital with which to finance themselves, and the conditions whlcn prevail in the Eastern markets have to be met. At present that market is absolutely closed to Irrigation bonds. To find the reason for this we should have to go back into the history of the many costly failures of irrigation financing, mostly in Colorado and Idaho. The collapse of irrigation bonds was due to construction -failures, colo nization failures and improper financing. "Whether or not you succeed in your efforts to obtain Federal aid. I desire to express the earnest hope that East ern Oregon will arrange its affairs. with the aid of necessary legislation. so it can use the credit which Eastern Oregon has. to develop its irrigation projects, itself, wlthour delaying for outside help. Divorce of Speculation Urged. Hector Macpherson, of the Oregon Agricultural College, declared It was essential to elirrflnato the speculative element entirely from the financing of irrigation enterprises. When this is done, he said, there would be no hesita tion on the part of the Oregon voters in adopting a plan of financing the irrigation districts. "The conditions under which many settlers on Irrigated lands are com pelled to live are a crime against civil ization," declared Mr. Mcpherson. "They are worse than In any part of Europe. The deprivations and sufferings that some of the settlers experience go on for years and families are brought up under such conditions. "You must draft a constructive pro gramme at once. Stale aid for irriga tion is not 'enough. You must go fur ther and adopt a general land settle ment plan and see that the settler will have at least a decent existence while he is endeavoring to make good on the land." The discussion brought out the con clusion that the settlers would not get any relief under the state rural credits law and it was suggested that further legislation on this subject be an im mediate consideration. Arthur Hooker, of El Paso, Tex., sec retary of the National Irrigation Con gress, declared that the National or ganization was prepared at all times to lend its assistance to the Oregon Irrigation Congress. He told of the chief work accomplished by the Na tional body and said as a result of its efforts material progress in irrigation was being made. He was convinced that the state governments and the National Government should co-operate more fully, especially in working out an approved system of financing irrigation work. The first paper of the afternoon ses- Administration of Nuxated Iron in Clinical Tests Gives Most Astonishing Youthful Strength and Makes Women Look Years "Younger. There can be mo healthr. beautiful, roar cheeked women without Iron," says Dr. Ferdi nand King, a New York physician and author. "In my recent talks to physicians on tne grave and serious consequences of iron de f i c i e n c y in the blood of Anierican women, I have strongly emphasised the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron nuxated Iron for their nervous, run down, weak, hag- patients. Pallor means anaemia. The skin of the anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory falls, and often thev become weak, nerv ous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the siarcnes. sugars. table syrups, -canuies. pollened rice, white bread, soda cracK ers. biscuits, macaroni, spaghet ti, taioca. sago, farina, de terminated cornmeal no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have re moved the iron of Mother Earth from these impover ished foods, and silly meth ods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave Iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron de ficiency in your form of organic usci salt when your salt. "As I have said organic iron is the greatest strength builders. If peo ple would only throw away patent medicines and nau seous concoctions and take simple nuxated iron. I am convinced that the lives ol thousands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kid ney, Iter. heart trouble, etc The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of Iron in the blood. "On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at certain periods, she re quires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss, i "Iron is also absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food Into living tissue.

In his absence the paper was read by John F. Stevenson, of Portland. The need of co-operation of the state and Federal governments in irrigation development, especially in providing guarantees to securities, so that they would be readily salable, was urged. Misuse of Water Discussed. E. I Smith, agriculturist of the O.-W. R. Sc N.. discussed the subject, "Tho JPse and Misuse of Irrigation Water." He said that the right use of water la one of the most important problems con fronting the irrigation farmer. "If alt irrigated lands were devoted to an Intelligent system of diversifica tion with orop rotation, ground proper ly prepared and cultivated, there is water enough available at the present time to irrigate successfully more than twice the present area. "Very rarely can we find an Irri gated project that does not contain a considerable area of waste land due to excessive use of water. This is so well recognized that no investment company today will finance an irrigation project that does not make provision for ade quate drainage. "The intelligent use of water is profitable for the individual and of de cided benefit to the community, and the excessive use of water is a public calamity."
