On the twenty nth of OioU-r a man whom all the world recognizee1 as one of the shrewdest business men : that ever lived, d-ci led to invest one million dollars in public health. This unprecedented investment ' should suggest to the public mind j several interesting and ignilk-nt j inquiries' First, did Mr. R.ickefeller j put a million dollar in something that will Cut brim; the desired re- turns.? Second. d:i Mr. Itukcfeller invest ue million dollars in some thing theoretical, something nothing more than the dream of an idealist, something impracticable? I 'id this shrewd, calculating business man, for once, disregard all precedent and invest Ibis immense sum of money without thoroughly investigating the rtliie of his investment? Judging from his letter he did not, for in this letter he says "For many months my representatives have been inquir ing into the nature and prevalence of 'hookworm disease,' and consider ing plans for mitigating its evils. 1 have delayed action in this matter only until the farts as to the extent of the disease could 1 verified and the effectiveness of its cure and pre vention demonstrated." It is there fore apparent that Mr. Rockefeller did not uke anyone's word for the loss of health and life from hook worm and tie practicability of its cure. lie made his own investig.vj lion, and arrived at results that jus tified this reckless i?i investor in put ling tip one million dollars for the sanitary war against hookworm. Now, scientists have for several years lieen claiming just what Mr. Kiickefcller "verified" and "demon strated," and. on thfs claims they have urged State governments to ap propriate money for the preservation of such a cheap thing as human health and life. Ou the other hand, State governments, judging from their appropriations for different pur poses, have considered it letter busi ness to spend the State's money on tries, plants, animals, birds, etc., as is a ell illustrated by the following story-not a fable, simply straight goods: rt One time a little mother, who was only twenty-live years old, begin to feel tired all the time. Her appetite had failed her for weeks before the tired feeling came. Her three little girls, once a joy in her life, now lie came a burden to her. It was, "Ma ma," "Mama," all day long. She never had noticed these appals un til the tired feeling came. The little mother also had red spots on her cheks and a slight dry enugli. One day, when draggiug herseif around, forcing her weary body to work, she felt a sharp but slight pain in her chest, her hi ad crew dizzy arid sud denly her nioiilli li.ii cl with blood. The hemorrhage wns not severe, but it left her weak. The doctor she had consulted for her couch end tired ftcling prescribed bitters made of alcohol, water and gentian. This give her false strength for awhile, for it clucked out her little rest rve. When the hemorrhage occurred she nnd all her neighbors knew she had consumption, and the doctor should have kuown it and told her months before. Now she wrote to tl.e State Hoard of Health and said: "I run told that consumption iu it early stages can be cured by outdoor life, continued rest, and plenty of plain, good fowl. I do not want to die. I want to live aud raise my children to make them good citizens. here can I go to get well? The replv was: " l he great christian State of Indiana had not yet men to the mighty economy of saving the lives of little mothers from consumption. At present, the only placo where you can go is a grave. However, the State w ill care for your children in an orpbam asy lum after you are dead, and then in a few years a special otliccr will I paid to find a homo for them, Hut save your life never. That is a 'cranky idea,' for a member on the floor of the Sixty-fifth Assembly said so. 'Besides,' said he, 'it isn't busi ness, the State can't afford it.' " So the little mother died of the preventable and curable disease, the home was broken up and the chil dren were taken to the orphan asy lum. o A big fat hog one morning found he had a pain in his belly. He rquealed loudly and the farmer came out of his house to see what was the matter, "He's got the hog cholery," said the hired man. So the farrcer telegraphed Secretary Wilson of the V. S. Agricultural 1'ipartment iwho said the other day he had .t,(XH) cx perts in animal and riant disease!, and the reply was: "Cc.t., I'll send you a man right away." Sure enough the man came. He card he was a I). . h. and he was, too. He had a government syringe and a bot tle of government medicine in his handbag, and he went for the hog. It got well. It wasn't cranky for the government to do this, and it could afford the ei Dense, for the hog could be turned into ham, sausage, lard and bacon. Anybody, even a fool, can see it would be cranky for the State to save the life of a little mother, and it could not afford it, either. Muiui.: Be a hog and be worth saving. The background of this story is laid in Indiana, but its truth applies with equal force to our own Slate. For while Indiana u spending f 4.1, 500 annually on her public health, North Carolina is spending the ex travagant suia of Is.'sli annually OO our public health . Now, from what has been atid it is very evident that there exist a very great ditVrence of opinion be- . ft vmm.
