ATLANTA, June 25.—Farmer lad;
who are yearning to come to the citj
will be interested in statistics just
prepared showing that 2,000 ban';
clerks and men in similar clerical po
sitions in large cities, only three per
cent were found to be free from phys
ical impairmen or harmful habits.
Taking 2,000 city clerks with an av
erage age of 33 years, 13 per cent had
hardening of the arteries, a disease
which usually comes only with old
age, five per cent had organic heart
disease and 28 per cent kidney trou
ble.
Most of this constitutional weakness
and impairment is said to be due to
confining occupations, lack of fresh
air and exercise and living in the ar
tificial surroundings of city life.
The cities produce some of the best
athletes in the world, but they are the
exceptional men who have opportun
ity and leisure to find regular exercise
in the gymnasium or at the country
club. The average young city clerk
soon becomes the physcical inferior of
this sturdy brother in the country.
FRECKLES
DON’T HIDE THEM WITH A VEIL;
REMOVE THEM WITH THE
OTHINE PRESCRIPTION
This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving o
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by druggists under guarantee lo
refund the money if it fails.
Don’t hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re
move them. Even the first few appli
cations should show a wonderful im
provement, some of the lighter freck
les vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.—“ Mo
nkeys have a great susceptibility to
plague infection, but they do not seem
X> play an important role in its pro
pagation under natural conditions,”
declared Assistant Surgeon General W.
C. Rucker of the United States Public
Health Service before the American
Medical Association here today. In a
paper read before the section on Pre
ventitive and Public Health, on the
subject of “The Relation of Roden:
Plague to Human Infection.' 1 |
Dr. Rucker reviewed the reports of
plague in the lower animals, and
stated that while many diflerent spe
cies had been thought at one time or
another to suffer from the disease,
many of the reports were not con
firmed by convincing experimental ev
idence. Even the kangaroo was dis
cussed and it was declared that the!
prarie dog was susceptible to the dis
ease. but that it had never been found
among them in nature. Rodents, par
ticularly rats and ground squirrels,
were shown to be carriers of the dis
ease in nature, and even the Putor
ius foetidus, which is the parlor name
for skunk, was incriminated.
Dr. Rucker fully discussed rat ex
termination methods and declared that
rat-proofing of buildings used by man
for any purpose whatsoever was the
best insurance against bubonic plague.
“I® the presence of an epidemic every
measure which will protect man
should be taken,” said Dr. Rucker.
Among these is immuization against
the disease, but this is of doubtful
practicability in Ameridan cities. It
could never be made mandatory, and
those persons who would volunteer
for such inoculation Co not form the
class which is most liable to receive
the infection.' 1 The results recently
achieved by New Orleans in eradicat
ing the disease excited much favorable
comment in the discussion of the pa-

10 PROTECT INOIVIDIIAE HEALTH
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.—The
employment of full-time health officers
which has been made the keystone of
the sanitary policy of several states,
has mot fully met the health needs of,
the time, according to Assistant Sur-1
geon General J. W. Kerr of the United
States Pubblic Health Service, in an 1
address on the subject of The Need of
Full Time Health officers at the Am
erican Medical Association meeting
here today.
“We need to strengthen the purely
local health organizations if public
health work is to progress as it
should,” he said. “The usefulness of
full time health officers employed by
the state must depend to a great ex
tent on the existence of efficient local
machinery with which they may
work.
“The New York law requires that
every city, town or village, shall ap
point a competent physician to be a
local health officer with a four-year
term of office, whose compensation in
municipalities having a population of
eight thousand inhabitants or less
shall not be less than ten cents per
capita. In North Carolina there are
now not less than ten full time county
| health officers. In Massachusetts sev
eral towns have successfully com
bined to secure efficient health ser
vice. Indiana and Kansas have also
proposed to embody their legislation
the principles of properly qualified
full time health officers, appointed by
j local authorities, with proper com-

War Produces
Many Lunatics
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 25. —Sir James
Chichton-Browne, who stands in the
forefront of English authorities o.i
mental and inervous diseases, says
that one of the saddest results of
the war will be a great increase In
the number of lunatics.
Addressing the annual meeting of
the Asylum Workers’ association, he
said:
“Much of the aftermath of war wi'.l
find its way Into asylums. The
enormous number of cranial injuries
will undoubtedly lead to much mental
impairment. The large number of
cases of shock to the nerves and
overstrain will cause much neuras

been throughout the whole country
immeasurable sorrow and bereave
ment, which in many cases will deep
