DOING GOOD WORK
and this trait, too, is threatening
to be our undoing. Having by
our own royal extravagance con
sumed much, and by shipment
from the country consumed much
more, we find ourselves facing
a demand for unlimited sup
plies and with practically empty
storehouses. Conservation o:
the food supply is what must
come now, and if the experiences
through which we are passing
shall have the effect of teaching
us a rational economy they wil
be well worth the price. It is a
lesson we need and should heed.

PUBLIC HEALTH WORK.
Too Many People Die From
That Aro Preventable.
Causee
Probably 350,000 people die yearly in
the United States from preventable
causes; also something like 2 per cent
of the population is disabled from sick
ness at any given time, and a large
part of this is preventable.
The standing problem before public
health boards is: How, with the means
at their disposal, to make the greatest
possible reduction in this social waste?
Perhaps there has been more co-op
eration tn this governmental field than
In any other—a freer circulation of
ideas and experience, so that one com
munity has profited by the discoveries
of another. Yet the work is far from
systematized.
A pamphlet by the Russell Sage
foundation suggests that, with ade-
quate reports on mortality and sick-
ness, communities which have the
same general health conditions may
by careful study and comparison work
out a formula for applying their health
appropriations with reasonable certain
ty of getting the best possible results
for the money.
The first factor In the formula would
be the amount of damage produced by
any given cause of sickness and death.
The second factor would be the readi
ness with which this cause yielded to
preventive measures.
For example,
cancer causes much damage, but in the
present stage of medical science Is not
classed as a preventable disease. On
the other hand, smallpox causes hite
damage, but its potentialities of dam
age are high, and it readily yields to
the simple preventive of vaccination
By a sufficiently careful study of ade
quate data a health board can reduce
this to mathematical terms and say.
with assurance, "Twenty-four per cent
of our appropriation should go to pre
venting infants' diseases; 12 per cent
to tuberculosis.” And so on—the fig
ures varying, of course, under differ
ent conditions of climate, bousing, and
the like.
The plan is a suggestion as to what
may be accomplished by co-operation
among towns.—Saturday Evening Post.
