" A child born today has a 50 per
cent better chance of living than if he
had been born 50 years ago.” Such
was the statement o f Prof. T. D. Beck­
with, o f the Oregon Agricultural Col­
lege, who spoke before the Commercial
club Monday night on "H y g ie n e and
Sanitation.”
The reason for this Mr. Beckwith
explained as greater use of common
sense in hygiene and sanitation. The
speaker laid special stress upon the
awful death tolls o f the country and
the result of a failure to observe the
ordinary health rules that anyone could
follow without trouble, such as getting
plenty o f fresh air and sunshine.
“ Eighty per cent o f consumption is
curable and 60 per cent preventable,”
the speaker said.
He gave a very
compreheisive
explanation of the
working o f germs, both the good and
the bad, and had several working
samples on exhibition.
