The Need Of A National
Department Of Health
(By Henry It. Sealer, Ph. I)., Prof
of Political Economy, Columbia
University, New York.)
No better proof is needed of the
valuable work that might bo ac-
complished by a National Depart-
ment of Health than is afforded by
what is iv f rlly being done by tho
Depai .1 . l of Agriculture. Through
its experiment stations for acquiring
knowledge, and through its bul-
letins for diffusing knowledge ac-
quired, among the farmers of the
country this department is changing
American agriculture from a merely
manual industry imo a complex sci-
ence. That there is as much room
for Improvement in our methods of
rearing c hildren as in our methods
of raising cattle and pigs, few will
deny. That such Improvements as
may be made in the human field
are vastly more important to the
nation than those that may be made
in the field of animal industry is
s< lf-evident. Under these? circum-
stances. the burden of proof that
there is some inherent reason why
the national government may not dj
for human beings what it is doing
so effectively for plants and ani-
mals, appears to rest on those who
oppose a National Department of
Health.
Hut the things that a National
Department of Health might under-
take are not matters of conjecture
merely. Already in many of its de-
partments and bureaus, the national
govermnt is concerned with health
problems. The War and Navy De-
partments are constantly dealing
with problems of dietetics and san-
itation. The Department of Com-
merce and Labor, through its Im-
migration Bureau, must maintain
hospitals, and a corps of medical
inspectors in different parts of the
country. Even more important M
oursc, and soon the United Stat< s
might he fried from the reproach
of giviug more attention to the
health of Its live sto< k than Its citi-
zens. •
Considering the direction which
s« ientiflc thought In reference to
problems of health and vitality Is
just now taking, nothing could be
more beside the mark than to iden
tify the movement for a National
Department of Health with the co-
called "medical trust." Wise Phy-
sicians undoubtedly favor the es-
tablishment of such a department.
It was men like Professor Irving
Fisher, President of the Committee
of One Hundred, whose personal
experience has led them to pi
more confident

Washington, Aug. 27.—Estima-
ting the cost of experiment at about
J 100,000, the war department offi-
cials declined requests to order a
bombardment of the skies by all its
guns on Puget Sound and at the
mouth of the Columbia river in an
etfort to bring on rain in the burn-
ing district or the Northwest. In
addition to the objection or cost, the
army officials regarded the propo-
sal as certain to prove futile. The
navy department, to which a similar
request was made expressed its wil-
lingness to co-operate with the ar-ny
with six or ten guns, the only ones
at its disposal.

Mr. William Duncan and his*
I1 ranklin Stock company finished
tho first week of their engagement
ut Delmar Garden laHt night pre 
senting that sensational and exciting
comedy drama, "The Shadow," a
story of dramatic incidents and in-
genious plot. The theme was built
around the theory of hypnotism, as
portrayed by Mr. Duncan in tho
•character of Richard, the benign
and villianous Shadow; which part
the sterling actor portrayed most
effectively. It was a role bo dif-
ferent from the others lie has been
seen in that the audience was at
once surprised and amazed at his
marvelous versatility. The play
was melodramatic, dealing with
phases if life to be found in the
slums. There was a den Scene which
was very characteristic and thrilling.
This company has made good here,
being up to the standard in every
particular and local theatre-goers
will be delighted to learn that they
intend to stay another week, pre-
senting the same high-class at-
tractions they have put on in the
past.
Tonight, commencing the second
week, a feature production will be
offered in "Sex Against Sex," a ro-
mantic problem play in four acts.
The scenes are all laid in England,
the first act taking place in Dor-
chester, and the second, third ami
fourth in London. Mr. Duncan will
be seen in the strong role of Tom
Brabazon, aiul elderly gentleman,
who is searching, for his daughter,
who unexpectedly appears on the
scene in the person of an actress.
This is an emotional part and is cap-
ably handled by Miss Bdythc Brayan
the lady star, who is so popular with
local patrons. Thet play is full of
strong climaxes, stirring heart
scenes, and the characters are quite
out of the ordinary. It is a pro-
duction none can afford to miss,
and you are urged by tho manage-
ment to order your suits early.
