EPRESENTATIVES Seattle, Was| (Cincinnati Enquirer) It is most interesting and encouraging to note that the health of the American people today is better | than at any other time in our history. According to Dr. Herman L. Kretschmer, President of the American Medical Association, tuberculosis now is at an all-time {low, venereal disease has been “almost completely | controlled” and maternal and infant death rates are | less than ever before. | The AMA executive called attention to the fact that a great number of physicians and surgeons are {in the armed services, and that the demands for the services of those left behind is most pressing. This possibility stirred fears in the minds of thousands of civilians during the early stages of the war when | they realized that their favorite doctors were being ‘ullvd to uniform. Fortunately, however, the number | of physicians left in each community was sufficient | to meet the most important health needs — as is | evidenced by the present health record. There have been other factors involved, however. The very fact that there is a necessity now for con- | servation of health, just as there is for censervation Y | of certain civilian goods, has led many persons to be Today marks the 154th birthday of an organiza- | yore careful.

This was $443,163 larger than the exports for the same month the previous year, which in turn showed the largest export total of any July since 1919, Runs of salmon in Prince William Sound this summer were so large,| that the canneries had been unable to handle all the fish it was possible to take, according to Gov. Scott C. Bone, who returned from a trip to Seward. The runs, he stated, were the largest in years. The Governor had made the round trip on the steamer Yukon, accompanying Noel H. Smith, who was enroute to Anchorage to assume direction of the Alaska Railroad. With a defeat for the Alaska Juneau in the game with the Elks and a victory for the Moose over the American Legion, the Miners and the Moose finished the City Baseball League season tied for the cellar title, each .club having won four and lost eight games. The American Legion team lost only three out of its twelve games and the Elks finished second with eight on and four lost. Miss Gertrude Kurz, who had been visiting with Miss Irene Nelson, returned to her home in Seattle on the Yukon. N. I. Baker, high schcal principal and athletic coach, who was working with a Forest Service trail crew this summer, returned on the Admiral Evans from Yakutat. He was to leave immediately for Eagle River to join the Forest Service crew in that vicinity. Weather report: High, 58; low, 55; cloudy.
