Health And Hygiene.
Health Higher lip.
This health idea is a big one.
It used to be regarded a« a qnat
ter of sentiment. Not so any
longer. Now we have public
health planks in our big. national
platforms, health bureaus in the
eampaigns. A few eeks ago Oov.
Cruig called attention to the need
of more health work in thia State,
and in President Wilson's inaugu
lal address he found time to
speak on public health in no un
certain terms. Here is what he
said.
"We have not studied and per
fected the means by which gov
ernment may be put at the service
of. humanity, in safeguarding the
health of the nation, the health
of its men and its women and its
children, as well as their rights in.
the struggle for existence. This
is no sentimental duty.. The firm
basis of government is Justice, not
pity. These are matters of Jus
tice. There can be no equality
of opportunity, the first essential
of justice in the body politic, if
men and women nnd children be
not shielded in their "litfes, their
very vitality from the conse
quences of great industrial and
social processes which they cannot
alter, control, or singly cope with.
Society must see to it that it docs
not itself crush .or weaken or
damage it* own constituent parts,
The first duty of law is to keep
sound the society it serves. San
itary laws, pure food laws, and
determining conditions of labor
which individuals are powerless
to determine for themselves arc
Intimate parts of the very busi
ness of Justice and i?gal effi
ciency."
Vital MtatWtlrs Pancd.
The much needed vital atatiatlca
law ia -now a reality. The Houae
and Senate both paaaed the bill
by large majoritiea. True, sever
al aerloua amendment* were made
in the original bill, but even at
that we have probably the beat
vital atatlstics law of any State
in the union.
One amendment changed the
date of the effect 'of"thla law ao
that it doea not go into effect
until July Ist, 1913. Thia really
mcana that according to the ma
chinery of the law It will not be
possible to put it into effect until
October Ist. The remainder of the
year will be devoted very largely
to the matter*of getting all the
offlcera and machinery to run
ning amoothly, but after thla year
we ahould have a* nearly 'perfect
regiatration of all blrtha and
deatha aa any State In the
Union. ,
A few other minor amendmenta
were adopted, but if these amend
menta are found to be too aerloua
a handicap on the bill, some fu
ture Legislature will doubtlesa re
move them. In the meantime
North Carolina haa much to be
thankful for in thia bill, and we
will aoon asaume our place aa a
regiatration State.
The dty that apenda five tlmea

this will be true from the dollar*

What would you think of doing
E; health work on commlaaionf Well,
that la really what North Caro
lina I* doing In 1011 about 9335-000
000 worth of human live* were
saved by health work. For thia
the State paid fSS.MO. In other
worda It wa* done on aaven per
cent, commission. r
In IMS the health machinery got
to working a little hotter, and
aa a remit no lea* than tt.MO,-
000 worth of human Uvea wore
fju, aaved on thia aame appropriation
of #33,604. In other worda life-
I-v aaving in 1013 waa done on a llt
\tle leas than a half percent com
* About the time aome of theae
fact* became known certain leg
tie better, and in order to find
out exactly what tt did pay, they
managed to secure an additional
appropriation of tor health
work and SIO,OOO for the enforce
ment of a vital statistics law.
The year 1914 will ahow ua exact
ly where we atand with reference
to death rates all over the State,
and after that we shall be able
to know Just what is or is not
being done to reduce these death
rates. Then perhaps there will
be some more life saving done on
a commission basis.
What la the Aaswerf
If health work aaved |5,000,000
in preventable sickness and death
in our State laat year, will some
one pleaae explain why we are
afraid to risk over $150,000 in State
and county municipal health work
combined to effect a still greater
saving when our annual lota from
preventable diseases still ranges
around $40,000,000? If a business
man could save an annual loss of
one dollar by spending seventy
five or eighty, or even ninety
cents, don't you think he would
do It ? Why, then, Is not this
great State run on more of a bus
iness baslsT Why are we afraid
to spend over three or four cents
to save a dollar?
Is your body any less valuable
than an elevator, a locomotive
or a steam boiler? If not It Is
your duty to yourself, your family
and society to have It inspected
periodically. Do not wait until
you are conscious of disease; the
may then be difficult or impossi
ble to repair.
Children are much more likely
to contract the contagious dis

Whooping cough, scarlet fever,

Easter come* very eloae to set
setting a record thia year. IT
can never come earlier than March
22nd. The only time it did or
could do this from the year 1801
to the year 2000 was in 1818. Thia
was made possible by a foil moon
21st, and the day following being
Sunday .
This coincidence does not occur
more than onee In a century,
and It is only then that the Feast
' of Ascension can occur in April,
then only on April '2oth. As
Baster is the most important of
all the movable feasta Of the
Christian church, It determines all
the rest.
Hence thia year Ash Wednesday
came on February sth. Ascension
Thursday, May Ist, and Pentecost
May Uth.
Sixty-aeven years ago and fifty
alx years ago, Baster occurred on
the same date that It does in 1913.
The next year when Easter will
pay an early vialt will be in 1940,
when it comes on March 24th. In
1951 it arrives on March 25. In
the year 1815 it° fell upon March
26th: also in the years 1828, 18337,
18833 and 1884. It will come again
March 2«th In 1967, 1978 and 1989.
The latest Baster of the nine

Why Lumber b High.
Wall Street Journal.
One of the members of a well
known brokerage house recently
bought a small country place up
the Hudson, and, desiring to make
some alterations to the house, he
went to a lumber dealer to buy
his materials. When he was told
.the current prices for lumber he
was much surprised. Asking the
dealer for the reason for the rise
in the price in the last few years,
he was told that the pulp mills
were the cause.
"Ten yews ago," said the lum
ber man, "common sheeting was
selling at about |l3 to 914 per
thousand feet Today it is |J2
per thousand. The paper pulp
mills are the cause, for thay pay
as much for limbs, branoes and
even stumps cut Into suitable
lengths aa the lumber dealers will
for sawed lumber, so the farmers
and timber people will not saw
their timber Into boards, as it
means added expense for the same
amount of money."
