TIFT L SERVICE They Concern the Removal of Employes Without Much "Red Tape." L'nder date of December 28, Post master General Prank H. Hitchcock sent out an order to the postoffices of the country concerning a recent rule that has been made in regard to the removal of civil service employes. ri'l. ; ..... i .. . . .. .! 1 . . ti..ii. Jills wiuci nttB iiiab mauc x icnj" dent Taft on December 9. Hereto fore, civil service, employes could only be removed from Bervlce after an In vestigation by the civil service com mission which would show there was incompetency or other causes why these employes should be removed, l'nder this recent order, however, a removal may be made without the trouble caused by this "red tape" method. The order is as follows: 1. "A removal or reduction may be made for any cause which will pro mote the efficiency of the service, hut like penalties shall be imposed for like offenses, and no discrimination shall be exercised for political rea sons. 2. "A person whose removal is pro posed shall be furnished with a state ment of reasons and be allowed a rea sonable time for personally answer ing such reasons in writing; but no examination of witnesses or trial or hearing shall be required, except in the discretion of the officer making the removal. Copy of such reasons and answer and of the order of re moval shall be made a part of the records of the proper department or office, and the commission shall, upon lis request, be furnished with a copy of the record in the case. The above procedure shall be followed in like manner in any reduction In grade or compensation. 3. "Pending action under section 2 of this rule, a person may be suspend ed or temporarily dismissed without notice for a period not to exceed 36 days, but the reasons for such sus pension or dismissal shall be filed In the records of the proper department or office. " 4. "The commission shall have no jurisdiction to review the findings of a removing officer upon the reasons and Answer provided for in section 2 of this rule; nor shall the commission have authority to investigate any re moval or reduction unless it is alleged, with offer of proof, that the procedure required by section 2 of this rule has not been followed, or that the re moval was made for political or re ligious reasons." It Is believed by postofflce officials generally that this rule will help In Increasing the efficiency of th. service since it will serve as a check on the employes and make them exert them pelves more In becoming efficient It Is admitted, however, that the rule could be abused. .. . . Medicines that aid nature are al ways most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It allays the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids nature in ri'sfurlng the svstem to a healthy condition. Thousands have testified io its superior excellence.

The following letter, from the see retary of the Rockefeller hookworm commission to the chairman of the commission describes the county health work In Guilford: Mr. F. T. Gates, 28 Broadway, New York City. Dear Mr. Gates: 1 have Just re turned from Guilford county, North Carolina, where I spent last Thursday and Friday going over the county with Dr. Ross, .the county superintendent of health. Guilford Is the first county In the South to appoint a county su perintendent of health to devote his whole time to the work!. . The purpose of my journey was to study this work at first hand. The last legislature of North Caro Una enacted a law authorizing the counties to appoint a superintendent of health for his whole time and In addition to his other duties providing "That If a county superintendent of health shall be employed to devote his entire time to the county public health work ... .he shall make a sanitary examination during the summer months of every public school build tng and grounds in the county, and no school committee or teacher shall make use of any school building, or grounds, until the county superintend ent of health shall certify In writing that said building and grounds have been Inspected and found to be in a satisfactory condition within four months of the date of the certificate. He shall examine every school child that has previously been examined by the teacher according to methods fur nished said teacher by the county su perintendent of schools, and reported to said county superintendent of schools as probably defective in the condition of its eyes, ears, .nose, throat, and he shall further endeavor to have examined the feces of every child whom he suspects of having hook worm disease." In the case of chil dren found defective, he Is to notify the parents and to co-operate In get ting the child properly treated. This bill was approved and became effective in February, 1911. In June the county board of health of Gull- ford county appointed Dr. Ross county superintendent of health, appropriated $2500 from county funds for his sal ary and expenses, and stipulated that he should devote hte entire time to the public health work. Dr. Ross took up the work on July 1, opened office in Greensboro, pur chased an automobile, and began with a sanitary inspection of all the public school houses in the county. During the summer he was called to take care of 93 outbreaks of ty phoid. In each case he sought to lo cate the cause; to prescribe measures to prevent the spread of the disease; and to see as far aB he had power that these measures were carried out. ... In this work he examined 50 well and found 45 of them polluted. Many of these he had permanently closed; others were made sanitary by putting in tile curbing, replacing the bucket with a pump, closing the top, and draining the surface. In cases of danger from privy conditions and flies he had the premises cleaned up and the house screened. Of the 93 fami lies thus Instructed, all save two gave adequate response. Of the two families that failed to give full co-operation, one was a negro family, the head of which refused to spend a dollar for mosquito netting with which to screen his house. Privy and fly conditions were bad. The re sult was three additional cases with one death. This serves to show the' value of Dr. Ross' work In the other cases. There was no second case in the 91 families that followed Instruc tions. Now that the public schools have opened, he has taken up the medical examination of the children in the rural schools. He met the teachera in their tirst monthly meeting; enllstel their co-operation taught them how to make the preliminary examination, gave them printed forms for their re port to the county school superintend ent of children needing . attention. These reports .are just beginning to come In. At the time of my visit, 19 schools, with a total enrollment of 902 pupils, had reported 108 as needing medical examination. This means that for every 9 children In these rural schools, 1 is sufficiently defective for the teacher to recognize the defect as needing attention. Our first visit on Thursday morning was to a country school with 108 pupils; of these, 9 had been reported for examination; of , the , eight were found te be severe cases of adenoids and had tonsil ' Two children who had not been reported were round needing attention. And this first examination Is limited to the graver defects. , . The teacher Is present at the exam ination; the nature of the defect Is ex plained to her; tho is given a card signed by Dr. Ross notifying the pa--ent In person if at all convenient and to report the results of her Inter view to the superintendent of health. The teachers seem to welcome the op portunity to give "this service. The teachers co-operate also in securing fecal specimens to be examined at the laboratory for intestinal parasites. Hookworm! Infection In this, county seems to be very light During the school term Dr. Ross will visit the 85 rural schools of the county and will give this kind of ex amination to the 12,000 children in the country schools. He has undertaken and with every promise of success to get reliable vital and mortuary statistics and prompt report of all contagious dlB eases from the physicians ot the county.r On Friday morning I went with him 17 miles out Into the coun try, nominally to disinfect a house ifter a case of diphtheria; the real ob lect of the Journey wbs to show two physicians how to disinfect a house and to enlist their co-operation in giv ng him prompt, full, and accurate re ports. ' The smallpi . I otv in tho coun ty has been ban; i i state board of health does not ti .ire vaccination; Dr. Robs has his county bot.r.l to adopt a resolution that afitr Jan uary 1, 1912. no child will t" r ' him ( l to at turn! a i il r.!(0 i in Guilford county without a certificate of vaccination. This order has met with strong opposition In a few com munities. Certificate forms have beeq. supplied; the local physicians are do ing work; Dr. Ross is visiting the pro testing communities and teaching the people by public lectures. On Friday night I went with him 7 miles out into the country where an anti-vaccination league had been formed. The night was dark and the roads were muddy, but 112 people filled the school house, to see the lan tern show and hear the lecture. The story of smallpox and vaccination was told In pictures most of them local. Then he gave them In the same way the story of typhoid and tuberculosis. When he closed, his audience "ailed for pictures of hookworm disease.. These he had cut out of this lecture to give double time for smallpox. Since July 1 he has given 35 lectures over the county on these four subjects. I told him of the sanitary survey which our men are making by coun ties. He is going to make It for his county. He Is also planning to publish a monthly leaflet of 4 pages, to be sent to every rural home In . the county; he has secured funds for eight numbers. This observation of the work in Guilford county convinces me that the county health service can be made effective. At present this Is the weak est spot In the state system. The county health officer is usually a prac ticing physician; he is paid an Inslgfi cant sum to look after the public health Interests of the county, but must depend for the support of him self and his family upon his private practice. The publie health work of the county Is not going to be done until there is in the county a capable health officer, paid an ad equate salary and-devoting his whole time to the work. , Very sincerely yours, (Signed) WICKL1FFE ROSE.
