THE SALEM DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, ORK, SATURDAY, NOV. 13, 1915. DR. FISHER DELIVERS , MASTERFUL ADDRESS AT SIX O'CLOCK CLUB ' Dr. E. E, Fisher, of this city, deliv ered an address before the Salem Six o'clock club Tuesday evening, which was listened to with a great deal of interest. It is worthy of wider pub licity and the full text is, therefore, printed as follows: The present campaign against disease nd preventable deaths is about two decades old. The causes, methods of transmission and means of prevention of nearly all infectious diseases have been discovered within that time. Now each state, city and village have some Orm of health organization, and these organizations have proven themselves important factors in the public health campaigns, and this educational propo unds in public health work is not con fined to our own America as is strik ingly illustrated in a series of articles in a recent number of a Chinese Medi cal Journal, viz., "Jiow to Initiate I'ublic Health Work in Chinese Cities," ."Awakening the riunitury Conscience of China," "A Plea for a Campaign of Public Health Kdncntion 111 iinna re some of the interesting titles in the Journnl. Kvidently the problems difficulties and remedies adopted dif fer surprisingly little from those in our own country. ' Dr. Teh, for instance, after enumerating the many insanitary ustoius of the Chinese, says that they kave for centuries practiced a system of simple hygiene peculiarly adapted to their needs. They wenr suitable clothes for summer and winter, drink tea, avoid alcohol, eat cooked food and arc moderate in many things. Tlio re sult is that ninny diseases frequently occurring in Europe and America nre distinctly uncommon in China. In struction through the public schools imd the churches is recommended; and also the organization of the women of Hie community for public health work. 'Mutational exhibits of photographs, charts and "instructions in C hinese ure Uo used. The Chinese prototype of (lie 'Snve the Babies" pamphlet, . rinted in large quantities and (list rib ; tiled by the American Medical Associa tion, in nn exhibit chart in Chinese ' characters entitled "Shelter the llabies." Wire screening, fly traps, "patent medicine" advertisements, ' lantern slides, illustrations and other vocational methods arc being used. Jtulletins nre Iwing sent to the teach ers and Minils in mission schools, and even- effort is being made to develop public health sentiment among the people. Certainly the gospel of good health Is being widely proacneu wnen C'hinr heuins to educate her millions. Good health is the highest asset of on individual, atato or nation. How lo secure and niaiiitnln this condition in the problem facing the organizations, the solution of which requires much almlv nu. I the expenditure of much time' unit money by those who have the best interests of the community, nnd of humanity at large, near at heart The motives which influence the work- ' rs along the lines of good health, and anitntion, must be of a philanthropic nature, for wo find engaged in this work in particular the best men of our universities, I lie most cnpublo of our business men, the most learned of our lawyers, the most progressive of our . manufacturers, and the busiest men of . Hie medical profession, whoso livoli hood depends to a certain extent, upon Uie amount of existing diseases. 1 am well pleased to register my efforts .with those who are large enough nnd . Iiroadminded enough to put aside tho j IJiought of personal financial preserve ; tion and to assist in the preservation of a condition which conduces to good ' health and longevity, The star nn tho man of Oregon not only marks the beautiful capital of Mio Utatc noted for its wide, clean treets, nnd its beautiful vine covered homes, but it designates as well, a city, 'whore education nnd culture go hand in hand with commerce, where good lienlth and bnnmucss nre as grent in '0ntive to its people as is financial prosperity. This has been demonstrnt txl fully ' by the wonderful improve ments made' in every line of the city's enterprises. Eight years ago when I 'came to the city, some of the busiest ulreets wero filled with imid holes and nianv streets became well ulgU im passable before the passing of the win tor season. Now we have ninny miles of hard surfaced pavements, and ninny wore miles of improved streets and roads lending into our city, Just as the cities of California hnvo realized that the paving of streets and of alleys, was one of the surest methods of avoiding tho much dreaded plugue, kO we have realized that a hard surface for our streets, not only improves the prvice and the npnenrnneo but is muck snore snnltnrv ns it offers less chance for dirt nud'filth to collect, affording o mud holes for breeding places of flies nnd mosquitoes, nnd for disease Iferins to Toside and multiply. And we eed one thing more for our streets: Uie oiling regularly of macadam streets ns it is now nu accepted fact that the absence of dust from such streets not only conduces to the comfort and clean liness of the homes thereon but that nir Is a distinct gain in the general health from the nbscenee of dust and Hie genu of disease carried thereby. TJie city of Louisville, Kentucky, baa Mime remarkable statistics to this ef fect. During the month of duly there wan not n tuse of diptherls or scarlet fever reported, whereas during may and June, before the oiling was com- menced, there were 33 cases of theso two diseases reported. What nre sunia of the things which affect the health of our city t Klrst to ho thnnuht of is the water supply, for tlis reason that as we take it into our bodies we assume greater risk, ana give it nn opportunity to m or, uarm or boncft to our general health. Our water supply in general is from ) Willamette river, and while some have sceu fit to raise much ado about tin water not belna as free from pollu lion as it should be, t shall give a few uliitlstlc'i and comparisons and you may draw your own conclusions. I have records of th analyses of the Unlem Water Company since January, 1913. Month by month. These analyses jin the citr ;, the hea,th omcer, in show that the water has been wonder- the v;iage should be secured in all fully free from disease producing !case3. There is a matter to which I germs, and that no mater where the ; wjh to refer, although with some hesi water supply was secured, it could notation and that is with regard to wait have been much purer. As to the ef ficiency of the Alteration, we can judge something when we consider the following facts: the number of bac teria in the river water oer c. e. was 1100 laa an nverneel. The number of! bacteria in the filtered water was 50 ! rather nauseating to contemplate, but per c. e. The efficiencv is thus shown'" practical one, after all, and needs to be 95.5 per cent. This is a goodie "cation of sentiment enough to enough showing to warrant us i say. I cause the pa trons to investigate and o ing that Salenf water is comparatively .f thcfc??a. ? je ,!. . , . . , jtof nealth in which there is no particu- safe, and while it s not as cool and f communicating a'ny uis. satisfying as it could be, there Bnouldea3e for a beverage to promote good health During the past two years there have been several cases of typhoid, but they have been traceable to other sources than the city water. The analyses made from water pro cured from the various wells in the city reallv show a considerable percentage of bm terinl pollution. These analyses can be consulted by anyone so disposed nnd they go to show that it is satcr to use the city water than that from wells within the'eity. I am inclined to think that it is far better financially and for the health of the city to boost for the efforts of the company to keep the citv water supply as pure, or if pos sible, purer than now, than to advocate the change of supply with the added expense to the taxpayers. A regular investigation of the water supply and an analvses made before and after filteration would be a plan of proced ure the Health Department of the city should follow aud undoubtedly does. Tho death rate in Salem proper, outside of the State institutions, is lower than that of anv other city of its size in the western states. There were 177 deaths in Salem last year. This docs not in elude, those from tho State institutions nnd shows a denth rate of nearly ten per thousand. This seems rather high but it includes those brought here, who have died in ospitals. If this were de ducted our death rate would be much lower than the average city of this size. The principal caiiBes of death last venr were as follows: Cancer and heart diseaso have first place with 17 to their credit each; senility 14; tubercul osis l'J: pneumonia and apoplexy 3th place. One may say that many cases of heart disease are due to eating too much and especially too much meat, so that by giving some attention to diet, we miffht cot down the number ol deaths from heart disease. It may be said of cancer that there is a positive precancerous state in four-fifths of the enses, which if recoved would lessen the number of cancers and cancer deaths. I advise nil who have not rend it, to read the article on cancer bv Snmuel Hopkins Adams, in the Ladies Home Journal for May, 1913, Old age can hardly be deferred ex cent In- ndherinir more rigidly to a vegetable diet. This plan of living offers the best eiiance for increasing our years. On the contrary we find that the nations subsisting on vcgetblc food are not possessed of as active mentality as thoso usinz a mixed diet They do not evolve or originate in the same proportion but endure hardships better. Tuberculosis holds third place as a ennse of death in Salem. The rules of the association for the studv and prevention of tuberculosis should be fol lowed to the letter. Dr. G. 0. Bellinger of the stnte tuberculosis sanatorium will be glad to furnish these rules to all who desire them. Next to the water supply of a city with regard to proper precautions to prevent contamination, is tho food sup ply, nnd included in this is milk. A little over n vear ano a campaiim was started to exterminate the fly. I be lieve that the plan was to follow a cer t it i it line of studv and agitation on the I subject and in six years have a flyless uregon. early everyone nuu oi the good work of our commercial club (and the work of the school children too) nnd of the flattering results. There nre few huso wives in Salem but would tell -ou that they hnve been bothered less this year by flies than evor be fore iu Oregon. This last spring less was said or done publicly, but still we "swatted the fly 'faithfully dining toe summer. .Now the winter mouths are coming, and the season is not the period when most persons are likely to take measures to prevent the breeding of flies. Vet the H'st Is really more annoying now than earlier in the summer, but it is during the summer that the wish is so often heard that preventive precautions iind been taken. Iu one city not far away, during the coumc of inspection by the hentlh officer in January, of a bcup of manure, dirt nnd rubbish uot fur from a public school, A rather stnrtling state of affairs was revealed. The heap of manure was found partly covered with tar paper and rubbish in which, despite the cold weather and there hud been not long before, a series of cold days flies were observed to tie actively urced inir. This emphasizes the importance of properly caring lor rubbish, etc., and tenches us a new why the fly Is always with us, When it is recalled how much the nbsence of this pest would mean to the children nlone, it should not lit lonir before there is n general awuken- ing to the necessity of taking the now well recognised precautions during the winter, that will secure great limitation if nut obliteration, of ny breeding. I believe there is an ordinance in Snlein requiring the protection of ex posed vegetables from vermin oi varr ons kinds, and nearly all of our mer chants carefully observe this ordinance This is extremely important and should be carefully and rigidly looked after, ns mnny kinds of diseases arc contract' ed from using vegetables and meats ex posed to contact with vermin. I refer to Uphold, (various Intestinal in fee dons, and possibly tuberculosis, ltight 1(r,i j wouu like to speak of another ordinance whicn I would like to see enforced in Halcm, nnd that ii one for bidding the bringing of dogs in all stores where groceries, meat, fruit and other foods are displayed for sale. Sign) directing attention to tucb. an ordinance should be displayed in all such shops. We are careful enough about allowing stray dogs to roam our streets but we do not take into con sideration the number of stray 'cats that stray at will around our premises. These are quite as liable to carry dis eases to our little ones as the dogs are to bite them. The milk subject has been tip so many times that I pause only to say that no milk should be sold under or above the regulated temperature and ... I.A..1a A.ill. Tl.rt IHuIUlfltnr'a AAB 1 ers and waitresses in restaurants and hotels, but especially the former. Many of these persons "are afflicted with loathsome diseases and I presume some times, but possibly rarely communicate them to their natrons. This subject is The ventilation, heating and lighting of public buildings is usually looked after by the contractors, however, these important matters should be inspected and proven adequate by the health authorities, and in this connection it would be well to occasionally direct the attention of the public through the press, to the fact that contagious dis eases are contracted from those coming down with them or just recovering from them, so that Buch persons may feel a restraining responsibility in the matter of communicating them to others, me contaceous diseases of childhood have a certain mortality and sometimes are forerunners of Berious maladies, there fore a strict surveillance should be made of all of these diseases. I refer to measles of all kinds, chickenpox, whooping cough and so forth. Ordinar ily the younger physicians have a ten dency to report these diseases, and es tablish an isolation sufficient to pre vent others from contagion. The older physicians mikht feel that everyone must have them, and no attempts at preventing communications would be adequate, or they would think isolation may be a hardship. However, one death works for greater hardship than any thing else can do, so I am in favor of exercising reasonable means of preven tion, fcalem has a fuirly adequate sew er system, yet there are certain locali ties where people living in tents and tent houses are not observing proper precautions with regard to sewage dis posal. One of these places is the va cant lots north of North Mill creek on Liberty street. Open toilets nre a men ace to public health and need to be done away with whenever possible. Ef fective industrial hygiene is necessary. An important result of the present "safety first" campaign is the opening of our eyes to a realization of the fnct that it is not sufficient to make in dustries safe merely from an accident standpoint, they should be safe also from a henlth standpoint. This is the keynote of a pbu for education In the avoidance of occupational diseases and injuries. The approximate average year ly loss through sickness of workers in this country would probably be about the same as it is in Europe, not far from eight to nine days for each ot the 25, 000.000 to 30.000,000 industrial workers, or an economic loss of a3f,000,000 if the average annual earnings is $600.00. This would not take into consideration the loss due to premature physical de cline or reduction in earning capacity, which at present cannot be estimated. Any plaa for improvement in this re spect involves the education of every one concerned, which must he general in nature because of the inter-depen dence of all units of society. Improve ment in this respect requires the edu cation of the medical profession and tho stimulation of interest in the study of diseases of occupation, the colloc tion of clinical data beoring on occupa tional diseases, and the promotion of research along these lines. Education ot the public is important hecause on en lightoned public opinion is necessary to the successful carrying out of any mea sure, which may be recommended after careful study of the problems involved. Industrial workers constitute by far the lnrirest class of medical patients, yet physicians in general regard the study of "the relation of disease to occupation as a specialty, with which the general pnitcitioner and the specialist in other fields nre not closely concerned. Hos pitnls nre the chief sources of clinical material and are the natural locations where intensive studies of diseases may be made. In order to utilize this source of information in regard to occupation al diseases, the adoption of systematic methods nnd terms for recording occu pations is necessary. Dr. A. .T. Oschner of Chicago, nn eminent authority on hospitals, their needs nnd efficiency, makes the statement that there should be one hospital bed for every one hun dred population If this be the ense, Snlom should have hospitals equipped with 170 beds. As it is now, there nro about half of that number in the insti tutions of that kind in our city. We Do You Feel Good All Day? DoYou Sleep Well All High.? If you do not, uliy?

KINDLY MAIL THIS HiasNMiM CANCER are anxious for a hospital, modern in equipment and appointments, in Balem, which should have at least 350 beds. A hospital is not supposed to be a money making institution but an eleemosynary one and should be conducted on the most careful lines, compatible with ef ficiency and should furnish a means of securing most thoroutrh treatment and care of those in its care. Our hos pitals are not fully equipped in the most modern manner and if it were not for the constant vigilance of the managers,), the results oDtainea wouia not De as good as they are. There certainly is a great need for a new modern hospital in Salem, and I am inclined to think that if the proper persons would en courage the matter and utilize all re sources, a movement could be started which would result in the erection of a hospital adequate to the needs of the people here for a long number of years. Tho instruction of the public to co operate in procuring' safety in the in dustries, and the securing of personal and collective hygiene and sanitation must be the result of governmental, federal, state and municipal action, al lied with civic agencies. The following declarations of inten tions are" copied from a certificate of membership in the American Life and Home-savers' League. Can anyone esti mate the amount of good such a declara tion would be to the city of Salem, if every resident would keep, to the best of their ability, every vow in the whole list: 1. I will not spit on the sidewalk. 2. I will not spit on the walls or floor of any building or any car. 3. I will not put garbage in any alley or open lot unless in a covered metal receptacle. 4. I will not allow any rubbiah or waste material to accumulate in any basement, attic, or closet on my phem ises. , 5. I will do all in my power to ex terminate rats, mice, and bugs in my house. 6. I will do all in my power to- keep my yard, alley, basement and attic clean and in a healthy condition. 7. I will do all in my power to pre serve the life of my fellow man, when endnngered from any cause. 8. I will not handle or permit any woman or child to handle a loaded pis tol or gun iu my house. 9. I will see that coal oil and gaso line are kept in a metal can and in a safe place, outside the honse, and lamps and stoves are an tinea by auyiignt only. 10. I will see that the furnaces or hearintr apparatus is carefully examined nnd believed to be entirely safe before leaving the honse or retiring for the night. 11. I will remove all waste paper, packing material and rubbish from the premises daily. 12. I will keep matches in metal boxes in a location where little children cannot reach them, and where rats and mice can do no harm. 13. I will remedy any defects on my own property that jeopardizes life or property. 14. I will encouroge the discontinuance of fireworks within tha city limits. 15. I will report to the proper author ities any defect, which to my mind should be attended to, or which jeop ardizes either lifo or property, or which will benefit tho sanitary condition in the locality in which I live. These declarations are all practical and not burdensome. No one even after having studied many years along this lino of work, could give us better advice than that, and it ib not eomrorting to De told mat oven our best schools pay Bcant atten tion to the manifold aspects of hygiene and sanitation, and that the best teaeh- ine of today is not in textbooks or lu schools, but in leaflets issued and dis tributed by certain leading boards of health and lifo insurance companies.

Northwest Livestock Show Has Excellent Prospects All conditions indicate that the An nual Xorthwest Livestock show at Lewiston, the week of Xovember" 29- December 4, will be the greatest in the history of that institution. This opin ion is based upon reports received by the officers of the Xorthwest Live stock association under whose auspices the show is held. These reports are to the effect that a larger number of ani mals will be on display than has been the case in the past, wnne the quality also promises to establish a new stan dard. Exhibits are oomiug from all the principal sections of the four north west states. The magnitude of the show, which is now in its seventh year, can be judged by the fact that at some of the past exhibitions over dOOO ani mals were on display. Reports made by the railroads, based upon inquiries re ceived, leave no doubt that the at tendance of people will far surpass that of any nrevious show. While the Northwest Livestock asso ciation comprises the leading stockmen of the four northwest states and who unselfishly give their time and means to the development of the show, they are receiving a hearty co-operation on the part of agricultural colleges and universities and the presidents of sever al such institutions will be on the speaking program this year. Governors Alexander of Idaho, and Lister of Washington will also give their pres ence to the program, Governor Alexan der to deliver an address on the open ing day. The Northwest Livestock show util izes specially equipped grounds east of Lewiston, tliese being served by a spe cial train service during the week of the show, and already work is in pro gress there preparing for the big an nual event. The sales feature of the show is again to be prominent this year, with high grade stock in all lines to be offered. Secretary Smith of the Xorthwest Livestock association has given close attention to the important work assigned him and has been in the field practically every day for the past three months, arranging the details of the big exhibition.
