NEGLECTING OUR HEALTH

“The best medicnl authorities in the
land state that such disease as mensles
hooping cnaugh and even tuberculosis
are preventable (diseases, as mich so as
diphtheria and senarlet fever, they all
beine in the communicable class, If
that is correct, and we know no ren-
son to believe otherwise, then there is
something. radically wrong with the
health department in this \land. In
the southern cities of this. provinee
there is, and bas been for months, an
épidemic of mensles, ete. In our own
section for weeks hooping | cough hag
beengenjoying almost. a free hand, and
apparently considered one . of those
things . whieh children must have and

But, - aecording to the highest medical
authorities’ ‘this is not: at ali necessary.
In that case the medical atithorities
of British Columbia are not doing for
the ‘people of British Columbia any-
thing like as mich as the health auth-
orities ave doing for the cows, pigs and
chiekens.of British Columbia, It looks
to us that the thing of first, import-
ance in British Columbia‘is the health,
of our people, If all the above dts: |.
enses are preventable then they should
be prevented. That seems Mike a pet-
ter and o more economical policy than
the expenditure of millions on institu-
tions to cure such diseases,

Had not the girls defled the weath-
er man last Sanday-and appeared ,in
their straw hats and spring - clothes,
it was a safe bet that most people
would have thought it. was Christmas
Sunday rather than Master.. Looked
