D0M1D OF HEALTH TO RECEIVE MORE TO COHDOCT WORK :lt Is Believed the Next Legislature Will Be More Liberal With This Worthy Arm of Government. IT HAS MUCH POWER BUT NO WHEREWITHAL

Last Legislature Provided $35,000 a Year for the Work, but $10,000 More a Year ,ls Required.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis. May 11. It is believed that the next legislature will be much more liberal with its appropriations for the slate board of health than the former legislatures have been. The state board of health has for several years been complaining because it has - not had sufficient money with which to carry on its work, and it has complained that it has been sorely hampered along this line. The last two legislatures especially were the target for the criticism of the board ; because much new work was cut out for the ' health department while the appropriations made by the legislature were so small that the new requirements could not .be met as they should have been met. '. The department Is not complaining about the power it has under the law. It has wide Jurisdiction, both In the , health . department and . In the pure food department. It has authority to condemn anything that is Injurious to public health. It bag power to condemn school houses which are in an unsanitary condition." - Inspect School Plans, Plans for all school houses must he submitted to the state board of health for approval before they are adopted by the school authorities. The health department pays attention to the ventilation, heating, lighting and every other feature of the proposed buildings. It takes into consideration the provisions for the safety of the pupils in case of fire or other catas trophles. It sees to it that ample provision Is made for exit from the buildings. It takes into account also the general surroundings, the ground on which the building is to be erected. In fact, everr feature of the construction of the school house must receive the approval of the board before the building can be erected. The board has authority to inspect nil school buildings and to determine whether they are sanitary or unsanitary. It has the 'power to condemn any unsanitary school building and to prevent the use of a building which it regards as unfit for use, and this

power has been exercised in numer

ous instances throughout the state. To Control Epidemics. ' 'The health department has full power to take control of an epidemic in

order to guard against. & spread of

disease. It collects and Tecords all

health statistics in the! state,' such as

' births, deaths, accidents, ' etc. ' Com

plete records of these matters are

made and kept in the office- of the board where they are valuable many

times, for reference. f

All of this requires much help both

In the office and in the field, and all

of this help costs money. In fact the department has not had enough

money to carry on this part' of the work as It should. The department has made frequent complaints about

Its lack of field men to send out in the state and make Inspections. It is

understood that scores of complaints

reach the board of unsanitary condl

Hons at school houses in the state that cannot be Investigated because

the board has not enough field men to send out to make the investigations. nenldes this the state board ' of health has the food and drug labor- ; atory as one of Its departments, and this costs a lot of money. This Is the pure food department It has charge i of the Indorsement of the pure food laws of the state, which is one of the most Important tasks in all of the state government. Has Two Laboratories. ' Two laboratories are maintained by the health department One is the bacteriological laboratory which deals with disease. In this laboratory tests are made to determine the presence of typhoid fever, consumption, hydrophobia and other similar maladies. It employs several chemists because of ' the great amount of work that is sent In by physicians from all over the ' ptate. All of this work is done free of 'Charge; The food and drug laboratory em- ' ploys several chemists and clerks, and several field Inspectors. These . inspectors go about over the state and see that the pore food laws are obey- " cd. It Is their duty to make Inspections of all groceries, meat markets, drug stores, hotels, restaurants, bakeries, slaughter houses, canning factories, and other food producing places. In fact they are supposed to visit and Inspect every place In which food stuffs are produced or sold. They explain the laws to the manufacturers and dealers and see that they and the rules of the board of health are obey ed. They have the power, representtng the health department, to con- ; denra foodstuffs that are unfit for - . They also cause the arrest of ..pertsae who willfully violate the pure txti laws. There is scarcely a counter fa lailasa la which there have not t ! rrrcutfonn by the inspectors -.;' i .. '' -.

Richmond citizens. And decide for' yourself. Here is one case of it: John Morris, 433 V6 Main street Richmond, Ind., says: "For several years I suffered from backache, the attacks often being so severe that I could hardly straighten. The kidney secretions were at times profuse while again scanty, plainly showing that my kidneys were disordered. I finally decided to try a kidney remedy and be

gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. O. Luken & Go's , Drug

Store. They helped me after other

preparations had failed. At that time I told of my experience in a public statement and now I gladly confirm all

of food manufacturers or dealers for violations of the pure food law, TheBe Inspectors also buy samples of various food products and send them to the laboratory here for analyses to ascertain whether they are illegal. The work of making these analyses keeps the chemists in the laboratory busy, hundreds of them being made every month. It costs money to keep these Inspectors on the road. It costs money to buy the food samples. It costs money to hire the chemists, who, by the way are paid the smallest salaries of any chemists in any similar state department in the country. Only Four Inspectors. There are only four of these inspectors at work, and the department should have three or four more. It is impossible for these four men to cover the state as it should be covered. The value of their work and the work of the food and drug department can hardly be estimated.; They have driven hundreds of illegal and dangerous drugs and food products off the market because it was found that they were injurious to health, and that they were violators of the pure food laws. In this way the public health has been protected, t . , ; The officers of the state health department point out that there is much more work to be done In , the state than can be done by the small force now employed and with the small appropriation now at h and. : - The state health department received at the hands of the last legislature $35,000 a year with which to carry on its work. This is said to be too small for the work that .is to be done, and it is understood that a request will be made for at least another $10,000 a year from the next legislature. It is known that several of the men who

have been nominated for the legislature in some of the counties have

been sounded on the proposition and that some of them have expressed

their belief that the health department should have more money. It is pointed out that some of the other depart

ments of much less importance to the general welfare of the state have been

given appropriations out of all propor

tion to those given the health depart ment.

Festal Gifts In Spain. It is the . custom in Madrid for friends and acquaintances to send presents of bonbons on birthdays, name days and festivals. A large silver tray is piled with sweets of various kinds, with a cake made of eggs In the center. This is often surmounted with a silk flag or, a pretty porcelain figure. Well , known people receive aa many as fifty of these trays on their birth and name days.

May 1, but the news of death has just been received here by ; ; his many friends. Mr. Wallace was thirty-two years of age and for some time past had lived at Stuttgart. ; It is stated that some weeks ago while playing with a cat, of. which he was very ' fond, the animal suddenly bit him in the hand, inflicting a pain ful wound.

Th Chief Ssrt o. All the great families of living things have a dominant sense. . We lead our life by sight and make artificial lights to render darkness tolerable. But the creature whom next to ourselves we preter, the dog, lives in a very different universe. His dominant sense, like that of many other quadrupeds, is the very one we most neglect, the sense-of smell.
