"We shall present a bill to the next legislature which will provide for an all time health officer in each county and' also in all cities of 20,000 inhabitants or over. They must be appointed from an eligible list supplied by the' state, board of health. To get on the eligible list they must pass a physical and mental examination and present moral credentials. Costs Run Way High. "I may add the present system of health officers is not economy. "To bring about this wise and economical legislation it will be necessary to arouse public opinion in favor of it. We are continually saying that the most important business before the business man today is the business of public health. "The method of isolation of patients with communicable diseases is different in different cases. The skilled man "who knows his business -will prescribe what shall be done for each individual case.
