Hy Associated Press. Atlanta. Ga., Mar'jh 11.—Pointing out that tlie success of every great commercial undertaking depends large ly on the healthfulness of the commun ity in wli. h it is inaugurated, and (lie health of those who c-arry it on. Surgeon General Walter Wyman, of the rnited State.s public health and hos-pital service, today told the mem bers of the Southern Cot'unei l ial Con- giess that their consideration of pub lic i.eai ;i (piestions would necessarily have great influence on the jirosperity and liain)iness of the people of the South. The commercial upbtnldiiig of an scct’ot) ■■ •• id \V.. .. Mniaio- ly as.-ociated with the health of the people wlio ieslde there. This in large measure was noi practicable in the pioneer days, when our forefathers great necessiiy for the observance of htahli measures since the problems of sanitation increa&ed with the growtli of the populat’on and its coiisequetu c‘ongestion in cities and towns. Had it been jiracticable to make every necessar.v step, however, from ihe beginning of the settlement of this country, there would undoubt edly have been a great saving of life, and the history of our industrial life would have been different." •AS- an example of the dependence of success in commercial undertakings upon the healthfulness of the commun ity in which it is inaugurated he cited the digging of the Panama canal. "This jiroject,” he said, “was under taken more than a quarter of a cen tury ago and abandoned soon after largely because of the continued oc currence of pestilential diseases. As a result, a gigantic w-orld enteriirise that is destined o be of incalculable value to the peoples of the Western Hemisiihere, was ))ostponed until May, 1904. The preceding ajiparently dor mant years had not been entirely wasted, however, since during that lieriod, there was- acquired the knowl edge requisite for the prevention of yellow fever, malaria, and other grave tro))ical disorders that had devastated the French forces, and brought their work to a standstill. “It is a significant fact that the first steps looking to the digging of the Panama canal consisted in the im provement of s-anitai'y conditions on the Isthmus of Panama, and the ac tual work of excavation Avas only be gun when this had been practically ac complished. ‘‘While the health conditions in the South, or in any other section of the country, are not so bad as were the conditions on the Isthmus a decade ago, they mus be taken into account in any great plan looking to the high est commercial development. “In recent years our advance in sanitary knowledge has been such that improvement of unsanitary condi tions can be * absolutely guaranteed. In fact, many health measures of the highest importance have already been taken, and the health officials of this? section of the country have shown great earnest ne&s along certain ad ministrative lines. In other sections of the country more rapid advances have been made along some lines. The results thus attained must redoun^ to the benefit of the country as a whole. The tuberculosis pi'opaganda which was begun in Pennsylvania in KS92, and which is not so much a question of sanitary police as of education and individual effort, has I gradually extended to all portions I of the country and is destined to bring about a marked reduction of ; the death rate from this cause, j “Notwithstanding the fact that much I has already been done for the control i of tuberculosis, its prevention might i well be the one subject for the con- ; sideration of this congress because of the presence of large numbers of the black race resident in the South, among whom the disea&e finds a spec ially fertile field.
