(National New Association) KANSAS CITY, Sept. 27. The establishment of a National Department of Health was strongly urged last night by Dr. Wiley, "pure food expert" of the department of agriculture In his address before the National Conservation congress. Contrary to expectation, Dr. Wiley in his address, ignored instead of replying to his traducers who have been accused of "seeking his scalp." He made no mention of the recent controversy in the agricultural department. "The congress of the United Stataes should take early steps," said Dr. Willey, "toward securing in the councils of the nations an adviser to the President, charged with the protection of the health and proper education of the people of this country in matters relating to their well-being, both moral and physical. The establishment of a national department of health is almost a necessity." Dr. Wiley advocated as measures for conservation of health the enactment of laws preventing marriage between persons in poor health, segregation of persons afflicted with tuberculosis and typhoid fever and legislation compelling factories to remove from the larger cities to small towns and country districts. He decried adulteration of food and cold storage plants as injurious to health. The title of Dr. Wiley's address was "The Public Health, Our Greatest National Asset." "I have always been in deep sympathy," he said, "with the movement looking to the preservation, for the common good, of the natural wealth of the country." "There Is one natural asset, lying at the very basis of the prosperity of the country, which is sometimes overlooked, namely, the normal functioning of the human machine, which is commonly expressed by the term 'health.. This has more to do with the happiness, prosperity, and utility of the human organism than any of the other natural assets which I have mentioned. "Let us inquire for a few moments into the dangers which confront this vast investment. "First of all there is heredity. Weak and diseased persons are apt to transmit, not always specific diseases, although sometimes so, but an unresistant. organism to their children which causes them to fall easy victims to the first invasion of disease. "Persons afflicted with incurable diseases, or who are imbecile, or otherwise grievously beset, should be prohibited from marrying. Of course, I realise that marriage is a sentiment and not a principle, but the power of the state to protect its citizens from disease may be constitutionally exerclted before, as well as after birth. Man Is entitled to the protection of the state when he exists only as a mere possibility. I therefore urge the establishment of regulations by the state to limit marriage to healthy and normal Individuals. "In the second place the invested health of this country, in the health of Its citizens, is threatened by poor nutrition. The organism not only needs the normal amount of food to enable it to keep a small reserve for use In emergencies. I am not a believer in the starvation theory of diet, nor in the limitation of any of the essential elements of food to a minimum.

"Third, the human animal is enti-I tied to a pure and wholesome diet, j

country are constantly threatened by debased and adulterated foods. It Is ft mistake to suppose that any exigencies of the food market ever Justify the debasement or adulteration of food. There is no condition of just political economy which can be urged aa an excuse for such an action. "Again by what principle of political economy can the practice be justified of keeping wholesome food in storage until Its tasU has vanished and acidiferous degradation products have been produced. The state cannot be too tarefully safeguarded In the character and the kind of food products offered for sale. The aggregation of population in great centers increases the dif

ficulty of feeding the people but does not justify the production of unwholesome and improper food. "Fourth, the problem of excluding these organisms which produce disease is one of supreme importance and, as it has been recognized as a legitimate function of the state to establish quarantine stations on our frontiers, the further application of this principle to secure greater protection of the public health cannot be regarded as unconstitutional. The two great diseases which decimate the human race at the present time are tuberculosis and typhoid fever, both of them specific, infectious, and contagious diseases. We segregate those suffering from smallpox, yellow fever and leprosy, while we permit without sufficient regulation the existence of peripatetic tuberculosis and typhoid lever. It is the duty of the state, in my opinion, to segregate those suffering from these threatening dangers. In so far as sentiment is concerned, it is no worse to be segregated for tuberculosis than for leprosy. It is hard in both cases. It severs the ties for the time being of family and friends, but as Tennyson says: 'Are God and Nature then at strife. That Nature lends such evil dreams? So careful of the type she seems, So careless oi thj single life.' "The states and nations of the earth should co-operate in a well-planned campaign to further stamp out these dreadful diseases which have made such inroadB on the health and prosperity of all the peoples of the world. "Fifth, a danger threatens from the aggregations of population in the great centers of exchange of the community. The man whose foot never touches the turned soil cannot be said to be healthy. The great manufacturing enterprises should be segregated and confined to the smaller places furnishing the raw materials and where each workman may have a garden and a front yard where his leisure hours could be spent in healthful co-operation with Mother Earth. Cities should be reserved for exchange and manufacture should be excluded therefrom.

This state or nation should see to it that every artisan engaged in production should be provided with a lot where he can breathe the fresh air and touch Mtoher Earth. If we admit, as I do, that eight hours a day are sufficient to be spent in manual labor, we should provide an opportunity for the artisan to spend eight hours more in normal employment for his own benefit and for that of his family. How infinitely superior is the garden to the saloon for this purpose! If production were eliminated from the cities and these cities reserved only for those engaged in exchange therj would be room to work and to walk. "Sixth, the sanitary surroundings of those who live in segregated localities like the country and the smaller villages should be radically reformed. The farmer should be the longest lived of any profession, but at the present time this is not the case. The sewage of the farm is an unknown problem. Being unknown it cannot be solved. The bathtub is scarcely known in the farmer's house and the septic tank is unheard of. The laws of hygiene are either unknown or neglected. The agricultural colleges should teach hygiene and sanitation as well as animal husbandry and plant breeding. "Finally, in order to pacify the national and state activities making for public health, the establishment of a national department of health is almost a necessity. Do not be deterred by the cry which goes up of a "doctor's trust." It is true that the wise physicians are in favor of the national department of health, not because it is a "physicians' trust" but because it is for the good of the peo

ple. The selfish physician will be I glad to see the present condition of affairs continued because it tends to produce disease and thus throws into his an increased practice. The al- j truistic physician believes in prophy- ' laxis rather than in therapeutics. He j is willing to sacrifice his own income j in his devotion to the public service. What greater proof of altruism could be demanded? "The congress of the United States should take early steps towards securing in the councils of the nation an advisor to the President, charged with the protection of the health and proper education of the people of this country in matters relating to their well-being, both moral and physical. The department of health necessarily includes the functions of education. Both of these offices have been recognized as a necessity and both are in existence. What is needed is to bring tog' ther all the activities of the national government into one department having the prestige and power of Presidential advisement.

The Theaters

sented at the Gennett but the piay is not a dramatization of the popular novel by Miss Barclay, which sold edition after edition. Nor was the book sold between acts at twenty-five cents the novel by Miss Barclay of this name. The book was a noveiizarion of the pi.)v pCon at the Gennett. With these preliminaries we pass on. It is a pity that the play 'The Rosary," has not a better artistic settina for it; ethical i"erits. It js Ua:i. it teaches a lesson, as the savins goes, some of its lines are clever and many of them pointed with an rTeetive moral, the story s sim; le one of normally constituted people and it is, altogether, a play w hi-h l-avc.s a cood taste in the mouth Dramatically, however, it is banal. Its machinery creaks The finale is visible before its beginning. With two exceptions its principals, as seen in Richmond, were inadequate, its climaxes are dragged in and its humour not entirely obvious. But says Mr. Middle of the Road Man. why critisizo a fifty cent plav. Dollar! Oh, only the first five rows. Very delighted to lay out a two dollar "show" not had a chance so far. But this is neither here nor there. "The Rosary" bids fair to bo as long

suffering as poor old Wall street. If Wall Street is really haunted by the types of plunger seen on the stage in Richmond, Indiana, the wonder remains that panics do not occur every day or so. They look more like ten-twenty-thirty-cent heroes. Wall street magnates are represented in the paper as having an excess of avoirdupois and wearing deep-seated financial expressions. Hardly any of them have curly hair. Most of them haven't any at all. Poor Wall street. It has suffered meets. And long i Do men in real life break down and weep on the table?

They are oft iter than not said to stamp around and say "damn." Still what men do in the suburbs of New York is left to question. And ; jmany plays have their goriest cli- j ; maxes in country houses to be reach- j I ed through the subway. ) This is all to say that "The Rosary" ; does not present a very convincing picture of the sort of life it is suppos- ; j ed to typify. j I The most realistic thing in the play j j v;s the working of the telephone, j Just at the most important place i where the hero is telephoning to the j fair but frail one in a hospital and she is about to reveal a secret which will 'clear up all, the hero says that he rannot understand that there was a

faint blurred sound and so all was lost. Is it possible that they use the automatic system in Bellevue Hospital as well as in "The Rosary" and in ' Richmond? That faint blurred sound how familiar! It greets us daily. It is our dear old friend. Life would not be the same S without it. ! Of the principals. Harry Nelson as ;the priest. "Father Kelly." showed himself assessed of histrionic talents of a decided order, his interpretation of the role being natural, convincing and handled with appreciation :of its difficulties. Miss Blanche Floranee as "Kathleen," and Miss Bessie

Andrews as . "Lesura Watkins," wr capitally done. Especially the latter -

whose character is rather out of thv' haskneyed path of theatrical roles. E. G. W. IT"

WESTCOTT ' A WINNER!:

A composer, Ethel'oert Nevin, an ; American no longer living, once , wrote an exquisite song which he call- j ed "The Rosary." Its appeal was universal. For its ; motif was the world's pain. Recognizing th ? magic of the title i an English novelist, Florence L. Barclay, used it as the basis for a story which she, also, Lamed "The Rosary," i and which was first published in this country by the well known house of G. IV Putnam's Sons, in 1909.
