Aged and bromldic as la the saying
that an ounce of prevention Is worth
a pound of cure, it is only of recent
years that medical men have taken
it to heart.
A modern departure for American
medicine is the large scale cleaning
up of other countries not so far ad
vanced in sanitation, begun in Cuba,
and now being followed up in other
places. In a series of articles on
Panama by G. H. Blakeslee in the
Outlook the writer pays tribute to
our achievements as a nation;
So atrlkng have been the results
obtained that the Rockefeller Founda
tion has organized the International
Health commission to assist other gov
ernments in stamping out the disease
in tropical and semi tropical lands. It
has been estimated that hookworms
infects Bo per cent of the laboring
population of Egypt, 76 per cent 01
South China, 60 to 80 per cent, ol
India and 80 per cent in Ceylon. Ii
has been supposed that the mere heat
of the trophies made Its Inhabitants
listless, lazy and often useless; but it
has been definitely proved that, in a
large measure at ieast, these trafts
are du* to diseases. The International
Health commission has already ar
ranged to assist in fighting the hook
worm in the British West Indies,
British Guiana, Egypt, Costa Rica and
throughout the Republic of Panama
while plans for work in Indian anc
other oriental lands are under con
elderatlon.

Everybody’# tells In some detail o:
the medical work of the Rockefeller
foundation in China:
An American campaign, unique In
the world's history has just been be
gun In China. Under the direction of
Dr. Wallace ButtrlcK of the Rocke
feller Foundation, a commission back
ed by practically unlimited funds
landed In that country last month to
establish a health system as efficient
as that of Japan, and to create a
series of medical colleges where lead
ers of a much needed sanitary reform
movement may be trained.
During the past year a commission
including President Judson of Chlcagi
Unlv rslty. Dr. Peabody cf tho Har
vard Medical School and United
| States Consul Greene of Hankow ha:
| nmdc a thorough study of tho public
i health and medical practice In China.
IA scheme of this nature emphasizes
I to China, more than all our diplomatic
J sympathy, the genuine desire America
feels to help her where she Is weak

Thr*e Inches °f S*eak a Day
An article by Dr. H. S, Williams
appears In Hearst's Magazine, em
pasizlng the Importance of not eating
too much a welcome admonition In
these times of high prices:
, Dr. Hlndhede—-the Danish Investi
gator—semed to show that some
tiling like 2a grrIns of protein a day
will keep the average Individual in
fine condition; where as It has been
believed that three or four times this
! quantity Is the proper amount—and
I that the taking of an excess of this
quantity Is highly deleterious to th*.
system. About lili grains of protein
are contained in three eggs: or ir
three cubic Inches of beef steak or
in three half pint glasses of milk A
thick slice of bread contains about
four grains of protein; a "helping1
of potatoes about two and one halt
grams. Tne digestive apparatus can
not extract all the protein from any
given nudocum of ;. ud * • * n'i iol ■*
it would not be safe for a man ol
average sire to take less than twice
Dr. Hlndhede's theoretical minimum
of twenty grams of albuminous food
daily.
Let mo suggest a sample menu in
which tlie animal foods are restricted
and yet the pioteid supply is adequate
as follows:
For breakfast, two ounces of toast,
ami one ifu. ounce sugar (in c- ■. ■ i
one ounce bacon, three ounces nidi,
and three fourth ounces butter
For lunch one half pint milk, twc
ounces bread, one half ounce butt*..*
four ounces lettuce salad with one hail
ounce olive oil, two ounces baker's
cake, and four ounces fresh fruit.
For dinner, vegetables soup five
ounces each of potato, carrots ant
spinach, two ounces sugar and one
ounce butter and lard (used in cook
tng); one fourth ounces almonds, foul
ounces upplo pio, and one ounce

QUICKSILVER DEPOSIT
IN ALASKA
The central part of the Kuskokwlm
basin la the only portion of Alaska
where, up to the piesenl time, lode
deposits of quicksilver that have at
tiacied serious attention have been
discovered. That there were deposits
of quicksilver In this region has been
known since 1880, but not until the
summer of 1914 were they visited by
members of the geological survey. At
two localities on the Kuskokwlm—
the Parks prospect and a piospect neat
Kolmakof—some quicksilver has been
produced and sold to the gold miners
of the adjacent reglun. The Parks
prospect was visited by Philip S. Smith
and the prospect near Kolmakof by
A. O. Maddren.
Both of these prospects are situated
close to Kuskokwlm river—a large
steam navigable In summer by good
sited river steamers for several hun
dred miles above the easternmost of
the known quicksilver prospects. Ocean
going vessels can ascend the Kuaki
kwlm to a point within 150 miles ol
the westernmost prospect. The rivet
is open for navigation from June tc
September, inclusive, but during most
of the winter even Bering sea, beyond
the mouth of the river Is blocked
with Ice. Small timber suitable foi
mine use Is fairly plentiful In the
better drained lowland areas, but or
the hillsides it seldom extends to eleva
tions of more than 500 feet above th<
Kuskokwlm. Only a few settlements
have been made In the Kuskokwln
basin, and probably less than 101
white people live In that part whlcl
lies weet of the easternmost placi
where quicksilver has been found. Fev
except the most ordinary supplies cai
be brought In the region, so tha
equipment for extensive mining o
prospecting must be brought from th<
atatea. Only two small power schoon

The Parka prospect Is about 250
miles by river up steam from the
^uskokwim. The main workings arc
not more than 100 feet from the river
nor more than flften feat above It
1'he ore is exposed along the north
oank of the river for a distance of a
few hundred feet and has been found
in prospect pits sunk on the hillside
The prospect near Kolmakof has
oeen known for more than 25 years
It is situated on the north side oi
.he Kuskokwlm about four miles below
Kolmakof. No work was In progress
on this prospect In 1914, and the earhei
developments consist of a few shallow
pits which do little more than expose
the rock surface. The country rock la
essentially the same as that at the
Parks prospect. The quicksilver min
eralization occurs mainly In the shat
.ered country rock adjacent td one oi
.he small dikes, but cinnabar has alsc
oeen recognized apparently as an oris
inal constituent of the dike rock. Th*
maximum width of the mineralization
ncludlng the dike, which la 1 to 1
feet wide, appears In the small pari
of the outcrop that Is undisturbed bj
creep to be about four feet. The cln
nabar Is especially abundant In tht
quart* stringers and lenses. Few- oi
these are more than six Inches thlcl
or more than two feet long. Tht
thickest band of fairly pure, more oi
less crystalline cinnabar observet
was about a quarter of an Inch wide
i Although the amount of ore exposec
