!' BRINGS EXPONENT A KEV GOSPEL OF : HEALTH BE Dr, J. N. McCormack to Ad dress Mass Meeting In dorses Crusade on Quack Doctors Waged in Oregon. Leader In the campaign for a na tional health department and special representative of the American Medi cal association, Pr. J. N. McCormack, ex-presldent of the national assocla tlon of at ate boards of health, In in Fortland and will address a mass meet ing at the Unitarian church tomor row night on "The New Gospel of Health." ' "President Taft has promised to send a special mesage to congress advising the institution of the national health department," said Dr. McCormack while at the Fortland this morning;. Senators Chamberlain and Bourne of ' Oregon have been actively aiding; the movement. ". "It will mean the coordination under one head of all pure food and health departments of the government, all state. county and city boards of health, all medical organisations, teachers and commercial Interests," continued Dr. McCormack. "The commercial interests will come ' In because of the realization that con servation of health Is the most sentiai thing in our national prosper ity. "Every year there are In the United States 600,000 premature deaths and 2. 000,000 cases of unnecessary lllnesM. The loss to the nation Is incalculable. It Is caused by failure to coordinate forces already existing. It la caused by Inadequacy of educational methods." Conservation of Health. Dr. McCormack has been for 80 years secretary of the Kentucky state board .of health. He attended the first con servation congress called by ex-Presi-dent Roosevelt, and there was Impressed by the fact that conservation of trees and soil and water power were em phasised, but not conservation of health. He and Professor Irving Fisher of the American association for the. Advance ment of Science, Joined in the names of the organizations they represented. Since that time Dr. McCormack has spoken in nearly every county in the United States and has addresaed half of the state legislatures. One of the chief crusades, he said today, has been against quacks. "I learn with greatest interest," he averred, "of your Portland society for sooial hygiene. Let me say that no campaign for social hygiene, social pur ity, can be successful without the elim ination of quack doctors. They togeth er constitute the most damnable In stitution In all this country. They do more harm. They are all dishonest, all incompetent, al unscrupulous. The manhood of Portland should rise up to put them out. - We hay put them out W Kentucky." Defends Dr. Wiley. Dr. McCormack spoke warmly of Dr. Wiley of the government pure food de partment. Dr. Wiley, he said, has been persecuted by a systematic organisation between manufacturers of patent medi cine, adulterated foods and rectified whiskey, and they fought htm with all the venal power of their millions of capitalization, and that they were de feated Is a triumph for national de cency, and a protection to health and life. "Dr. White, the secretary of your state board of health, Is doing a work recognized all over the United States as Immensely Important," said Dr. Mc Cormack. "Dr. White Is known as one of the most effective among all pub- lia health leaders. He Is a national force." . "I want to see health organizations, teachers, professional men, eommerrlnl Interests and newspapers lined up solid ly for the practical conservation of hi'alth," concluded Dr. McCormack K'-When this Is done .the 400,000 prema ture deaths and 2.000,000 unnecessary cases of slkneas annually will stop. Quacks will be eliminated, annihilated, If necessady. Education will be com plete and effective. We will have a cleaner and strong race. "I don't want the women to stay away from the meeting tomorrow night. I want to speak to the federation of women's clubs, as well as to the busi ness men and doctors. The women must do a large part of the work, any way, and there Is no sense In a division of forces."

T How to "Shed" A Bad Complexion It's foolish to attempt to cover up or hide a sallow complexion, when you can so easily remove the sallowness, or the complexion itself. Rouge and the like on a brownish skin, only em phasise the defect. The better way Is to apply pure mercollzed wax the same as you would cold cream putting It on at night, removing it in the morn ing with warm water and soap, follow ing with a daBh of cold water. The effect of a few applications is simply marvelous. The half dead cuticle is absorbed by the wax painlessly, grad ually.
