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

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

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.
Criticism bocomes a reproach when it
Is tiever heeded and the better paths to
which it points are never followed.
So let us spread ana live me gospei
of pure food, pure water, pure air and

hearts with this lieht, let us realize that
our city has a right to demand that
eneh Individual exert every influence to
keep Salem as sanitary as possible. Ut

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.

Would Adjust Strike.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 12. Efforts arc
being made today to adjust the differ
ences between the Heilig theatre and
the Theatrical Federation which result
ed in the union employes walking out
last night a few minutes before the ev
ening performance was scheduled to
start.

called off and the audience sent home.
The trouble arose over the dismissal
of an engineer iu October when the
theatre connected with nu outside heat

Brain Blood-Supply Must Be Good.
The importance of having pure blood
is perhaps never more deeply impress
ed on us than when we are told by
physicians that if the brain is supplied
with impure blood, nervous and bilious
headache, vonfusion of ideas, loss of
memory, impaired intellect, dimness of
vision, nnd dullness of hearing, are ex
perienced, and in time the brain be
comes disorganized aud the brittle
thread of life is broken.
Tlie more we learn of tho usefulness
of the grent blood purifier, Hood's Sar
saparilla, the more grateful we are for
this old aud successful family medicine,
which has accomplished bo much in re
moving scrofula, rhenmntism aud ca
tarrh and other blood diseases and cor
recting run-down conditions of the sys
tem. If you need a blood purifier, get
