Abue Their Ilanbund. It is probable that oftentimes the wife of a ball player can tell more accurately why it i he muffs a ball or makos a bad throw than be could himself. Some of the wives of the Pirate players attended every game played here during the season and have alternately heard their husbands cheered to the skies as heroes worthy of a place on Mount Olympun and at other times have seen them the targets of the maltontents in the bleachers. "What are the feelings of a player's wife when she hears the fans yell to take hlin out? " said the wife of one

of the players whose husband Is a pitcher. "Why, when I first heard It I wanted to cry and get out of the grounds as quickly as I could. I knew my husband was pitching the best ball he knew how, but some of them managed to hit it two or three times, and those bleacherites kept up the howl, Take him out,' until the manager finally did it. "When the game was over I told him I never wanted to come and see another game; that I couldn't bear to see him made the target for such a gang of rowdies as were in those bleachers. We hadn't been married long then, but he Just laughed and said that what they said one way or the- other didn't amount to anything. He told me that the same crowd that were yelling to take him out would be wanting to take him off the field on their shoulders the next day maybe and that their pplause was Just as unreliable as their hisses. Of course, he said, a man would rather be applauded than shouted at. but a baseball crowd was the most fickle of any kind of sports and that it didn't make any difference what kind of men attended the game, they were all the same way if things didn't go right. As a rule, he said, he never paid any attention to the howls of the crowd, but he knew there always comes a time In the career of a ball player when the howl 'Take him out means something, and when that time comes the player had better get out himself. "But, just the same. I never get over feeling bad wlien I hear the crowd yell at my husband, although I have got so I don't care as much as I used to. Probably lots of people think baseball is easy work, but it is an awful strain on a man. and after a few years I hope my husband will settle down to ometblng rlsp. Pittsbnrs Press.

So it is, we expect great things from health boards; but we will not pay them proierly, preferring to hold the money and afterward spend ten times as much for cure. Epidemics. In comparing the records of" 1906 with those of 1905, we find a seeming connection, for it is a fact that we had more cases of pneumonia, typhoid fever, diphtheria and scarlet fever, and more local epidemics of them in 1906 than in 1905, yet there were fewer deaths. ! The figures for the deaths are: 1905. 1906.

We feel certain the last was true in regard to diphtheria. Even since the discovery of antitoxin the deaths from diphtheria have decreased just in proportion as the doctors took up its use. It was to be expected that the majority of doctors would wait to see the outcome of the

had evidently been the source of the

disease all the time. She seemingly had only a slight sore throat, for which she had taken lozenges and cough medicine, and still the whole time she was spreading diphtheria. After she was taken out of school and treated until the germs disappeared, the school was called togather again and there was no more diphtheria. We have three good lessons in this epidemic. The first is that mild cases are very dangerous; the second, that the only positive diagnosis can be made in the Laboratory; and the third, that it is possible to discover and keep down diphtheria by always examining every sore throat by the laboratory method. We might also perceive a fourth lesson and it is, that the secretions from the nose and mouth, which we so freely distribute in every direction, are very dangerous. The teacher in this instance distributed her germs on the slates of the little children, for she erased their errors with her spittle. Typhoid Fever. This disease is growing less fatal but, like diphtheria, not lessening in prevalence. Although our population is increasing, typhoid deaths decrease. This appears by examining the following table, and we think two causes contribute to the decrease. First, TT-n ci.-tiifni treatment: second, the

theria death rate all over the world,

as well as in Indiana, there can be no doubt. Indeed, -the State Board of Health believes from the piles of evi

dence collected, that if antitixm is administered earlv enough the death

rate would be reduced to possibly one

per cent. It has already fallen from

37 to 7 per cent. The great dinicuity

lies in getting to every case in its early stages, and before the disease had made much headway in its de

structive course. Another difficulty lies in making the diagnosis. Formerly, a case of angina (sore throat) was not considered to be dyptheria, until an ashen membrane appeared. Now

we know that what seemingly is simple to sore throat due to a cold, may

be diphtheria. This fact was discov

ered not by doctors at the bed siae, but by bacteriologists in the laboratory, and is now generally acknowledged. Those who don't acknowledge it, are very slow, and the progressive medical men simply go on and leave the slow to have their pleasure with their error. This discovery by the bacteriologists, which was made by finding the specific germs of the disease In "throats which did not have a membrane, has wrought a revolution in fighting diphtheria. In conjunction with the discovery, many observations have taught us, that diphtheria epidemics in which children are made

It generally attacks old persons, seldom appearing before forty and unusually not until, after sixty. It has been suggested there is something about high civilization which causes cancer. Too much eating of meat with too little exercise and too little fresh air have been assigned as causes. We can expect some day to know where the awful malady comes from, for the scientists will certainly find out. The State of New York has a cancer laboratory, where men learned

The time of regular battle, against this arch enemy of mankind, is a long one Indeed, but the battle can bo waged on. The first step is to establish a State Hospital which will accomodate about 300, and then cure seventy to eighty incipient cases of consumption out of every one. hundred cases. This will be a practical example for the cures will be effected by hygienic living. In this way the people will rapidly learn, that failure to ventilate bed rooms, school rooms, churches, stores, houses and offices; and nisn failure to be temperate and sen

sible in eating, drinking and cleanli

ness, is a capital crime which nature punishes by disease and death. Here is another table taken from the statistics gathered by the State Board of Health which teaches much

in regard to the losses caused by the preventable consumption. Havoc wrought by consumption In 1906 in Indiana: Total consumption deaths .... 4503 Males 1916 Females 2591 Mother, IS to 40, prime of life.. 497 Father, IS to 40, prime of life.. 379 Ornhans made under 12 years.. 2604

Homes made fatherless or motherless. 3511 Cost to the people not less than $10,000,000 It takes two or three readings and a little contemplation of the above terrible facts to realize the awfulness of consumption with the havoc It leaves in its track. As science stands ready to stop this loss, we the people, will be foolish indeed, if we do not engage with science in the matter.

Summary. A study of the figures of deaths and disease warrant the conclusion that the death rate is decreasing in Indiana; that certain diseases, among them diphtheria, scarlet fever, Influenza, typhoid fever and smallpox, are becom

as low as those of other middle states.

in those states

where the sacftary . authorities are permitted, through better health laws, to more practically apply to every day

for its consideration a model health law. Among other provisions the proposed bill provides that health offcers shall be Informed in hygiene and sanitary science, shall bo paid according to the number of people they serve, and the term of office Is changed from one year to four years. At present, serving for a short period for a pittance, some health officers are not enthusiastic, many saying '"if people don't' care about their health, , if they don't care to have their children protected against diseases as appears from the pay they offer, why.6hould we be deeply concerned?" This Is a vorv natural argument, not strong per-

bans, but it presents a condition, not

a theory. It is good men, not laws alone, which bring good results, but

the laws must provide for the choosing of good men. The bill also pro

vides that health officers shall keep complete records of their work and make prompt reports and punishes them if they do not. The bill makes it possible to collect correct records jtc nnd contagious di-

Ul ucavuo, m . seases. This is most important; more important in fact than collecting statistics about the number and value of

hogs, cattle etc., which we are bo eager to do. In order to fight the enemy disease, the sanitary authorities must know who are dying, where dying and the cause of death. This information uncovers the enemy and permits of intelligent action. But this is not all, as such records are of great Importance, and are constantly needed, to prove inheritance, pensions, insurance and other property

affairs. So the bill is greatly neeaea,

and if not passed, the people must continue to suffer in several ways which

the bill would certainly prevent.

The Outlook for 1907. The outlook is bright. As shown, we are making progress. Most people now understand that disease can be prevented and It remains to instruct them in the details and, to secure the legislaure's permission.' to carry on the war In a more scientific up-to-date way. t NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.
