Handling of Institution.
2100 RETAILERS COMING
JOBIBIXG REPRESENTATIVES TO
ATTEND BUYERS WEEK.
Although City Commissioner Mann
In charge of The Cedars is also in
charge of the city health bureau and
admits that The Cedars has been an
unqualified success under the direc
tion of Commissioner Mann, State
Health Officer Roberg has requested
Mayor Baker to take the Institution
out of the hands of Commissioner
Mann and place it under control of the
city board of health.
Mayor Baker has refused the re
quest, stating in a letter to Dr. Roberg
that no city board of health now ex
ists and that as long as City Commis
sioner' Mann handles The Cedars in a
successful manner no interference will
come from the office of the chief
executive.
Mayor Baker declared that he was
puszled at Dr. Roberg's motive, be
cause the letter bearing the request
also pointed with pride to the high
standard maintained at the institution.
When Informed of the situation
Commissioner Mann expressed eatis
factlon that the state health officer
had recognized the efficiency of the
management of the Cedars
Need of Chance Not Srtn.
"If the place is being operated
Droperly, why change?" asked Com
missioner Mann. "As a matter of fact,
as long as the state was furnishing
a medical director at the Cedars there
was nothing for the city health off!
cer to do, but as soon as I was in
formed that the state medical aid
had been withdrawn I instructed City
Health Officer Parrish to take charge
of the medical end of the institution.
"I have a matron, whose work Is
most efficient, in charge of the Ce
dars. The Cedars and its manage
ment have received the plaudits of
government men interested in the
eradication of social diseases and the
action of the state health officer ie
simply an expression of ill-feeling
which has resulted from the con
troversy over money the city claims
for care of state patients."
Mayor Baker called attention to
a direct contradiction In Dr. Roberg's
letter which was sent In the name
of the state board of health. Mayor
Baker referred to the board's ex
pressed desire for a change in the ad
ministration of the Cedars, and again
calling the Cedars a successful in
stitution under its present manage
ment.
The letter from Dr. Roberg was
as follows:
Letter Refers to Meeting".
"At a meeting of the state board of
health held June 21, 1920, the question
arose as to how the Cedars Detention
hospital was functioning.
"It was ascertained that this hos
pital was not under the city board of
health authorities and therefore the
secretary of the state board of health
was directed to address a letter to
you, calling attention to the fact that
the Cedars ia in every nature a puD
lice health activity.
"Could you Inform the board as to
iust why the Cedars Is not under the
control of the city board of health?
"It was the attitude of the state
board that the Cedars should tunc
tion in the same manner as other
normal health activities, namely, un
der the city board of health.
Layman nm MnnH.tr Kesented.
"Matters of quarantine, isolation, de
tention and treatment are essentially
phases to be considered in connection
with the Cedars. These phases nor
mally come under the direction of the
local heaith officers.
"The state board of health feel
that it is somewhat irregular to hav
an institution which actively isolates
quarantines, detains and treats per
cons infected with a dangerous com
municable disease under the contro
of a lay person unfamiliar with the
intricate problems involved.
"The board expressed its apprecia
tion for the work done at the Cedars
and cannot help but point with prid
to the high standard maintained at
the institution. However, your clarl.
fylng the questions and doubts as ex
pressed in this letter will be greatly
appreciated."

Physician Explains Why Modern Meth

NUXATED IRON
Many a man or woman is wearily trudging
along the road of life steadily becoming more
weakened and run-down simply because
their blood is getting thin, pale and
watery starving for want of strength
giving Iron. At any moment they run
the risk of sinking into the Rut of Ill-

physicial condition in time they often
sentence themselves to a lifetime of mis

and women would be stronger, more
energetic and vigorous in body and

fortify and invigorate their whole,
