CONSERVATION WHERE NEED
ED.
The government will make an
attempt at. reducing infant mor
tality in the United Stales. The
death rate among the babies of
this country is higher than in
most places—a condition that,
should not exist, and is not cred
itable to us. The children’s bu
reau of the Department of Com
merce and Labor is about to in
augurate a house-to-house in
vestigation. Information will he
gathered in every city and dis
trict and compiled and studied in
an effort at determining what is
the reason for I he poor showing
we make. Government statistics
prove that in 1910 192 of every
1,000 infants died before reach
ing the age of one year. In oth
er words, nineteen in every 100,
or nearly one of every five ba
bies born in this country failed
to live a year.
The average in Great Britain
is 147 deaths for each 1,000
births, less than fifteen per cent,
or about one in seven. The rec
ord in Great Britain in 1907, an
unusually cool and rainy season,
was less than one death in eight
births. And statistics do not show
that the death rate in London was
-not much in excess of that in oth
er parts of the country, indicat
ing the fallacy of the old notion
that great centers of population
are exceptionally unhealthy.
There is no reason that is ap
parent why the infant mortality
in New York, Chicago or St. Paul
should be greater than in London,
or why the record in this coun
try should exceed that of Great
Britain. We should find out what
is wrong and set about making
improvement.
TURTLES AND TUBERCULOSIS.
A Seattle doctor--one Damour
otte, and if we mistake not at one
time a resident of Yaidez--has
come forward to declare that he
discovered a tuberculosis cure six
years ago--1 he same cure, be
avers, that was announced with
confident gusto out of the mouth
of a German physician some days
ago.
This Seattle man (ells how, on
a northern trip, he was ship
wrecked. Tuberculosis of the
throat resulted from exposure in
the water. He went south and
there the longevity of the dila
tory turtle impressed him. He
says ho made a serum irom tne
intestines of the turtle, discov
ering glycobacterium, or the ba
cillus of long life, and this he
took, with I he resnllaul rout ing
of tuberculosis. Tie says lie gave
it to others with similar good re
sults.
The whale, which also lives In
a ripe* old age, commends itself
to the consideration of science,
and the lowly toad which, even
imbedded in the solid rock, so
chroniclers have writ it, lives on
and on undisturbed by dietary
problems or the passing of the
years. Kven a stew made of our
plentiful crop of ravens would
help some. But while we are
about it, why not go in for a ba
cillus thal defers death forever?
Let’s find the bacillus that gives
eternal life to the mother-in-law
joke.
EDITORIAL MOTES.

The announcement that .an

There can be no doubt but
that Bulgaria will forego the

The Poultry association says

If all those suits go against the

we once received a telegram from

Tammany did not witness Sul

Hell may he no idle .threat, as

It looks now as if Alaska will
soon be in a position to extend
her congratulations to “Auld Ire
land” over her accfuisilion of
home rule.
•speaker Clark might consider a
slight modification of the old
scholastic catch. When a mov
able body meets an irresistable
force, what happens?
Gov. Sulzer's declaration of in
dependence has a clarion-like
ring. But the silence of Charles
F. Murphy, paradoxically spcak
jing, has a business-like sound.

ll i a fact that Valdez beer i* a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few limes with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
