THE EVENING STAR. | Tue Tense Barz. WASHINGTON: HOW IT PRESERVES HEALTE AND CURES DISEASE. ‘The tendencies of the times are strongly in the direction of paying more and more attention to the Preservation of health and prevention of disease by the ‘ashington It is easy to quarrel with the census: usual to quarrel with the census. Then let us all quarrel with the census of 1890. This is the way, at least, that a part of the public is put- ting it to itself. In reply to those of his critics who charge partisanship in the enumer- ation Superintendent Porter makes an elab- orate statement in the North American Review, asserting the comparative accuracy and ab- solute political fairness of the eleventh census. Mr. Porter's paper gives a succinct history of the complaints and the manner in which the census bureau met them, taking New York for his leading case. He says that in a city like ‘New York a census taken, as the police census was, in October, would naturally show an increase over a census taken in June of the same year. Thousands of families, with their domestic help, and thousands of the hotel population, would have re- turned from their summer vacations. ‘The same may be said of wage earners who annually seek employment in that season in the raral resorts. Besiiles immigration is heavy in the months of June, July, Augustand Septem- ber. He does not omit from his statement as affecting New York the hostility to the federal enumeration of several of the nm journals. The police in their census were not hampered by disegreable questions or handi- capped by instructions, but had the support of the press in seeking all the names possible. On the matter of percent- ages of increase Mr. Porter meets the assumption that because the country increased in population 59.51 per cent from 1860 to 1840, therefore the country should have increased one-half as much. or 29.75 per cent, in the ten years from 1880 to 1890, by asserting that a very elementary knowledge of arithmetic only is necessary to show that the percentage of a country in ten years is not one-half the per- centage of increase for twenty years, but some- thing very different. If, he proceeds to de- clare, the comparison had been properly made it would have been found that the actual in- erease for the last ten years, 24.57 per cent, compares very favorably with the real per- « centage, 26.03 per cent of increase for ten years as based upon the increase of the country from 1860 to 1880. Mr. Porter argues the im- possibility of making @ partisan census from the manner in which the bureau is constituted and from the fact that the law under whieh the census of 1890 was taken was practically the same as that under which Gen. Walker took the tenth census, and that as far as possible the organization of the office is the same as it was ten years ago. To imvalidate the eleventh census, therefore, is to attack the integrity of nearly eyery man who took part in the tenth census. To ques- tion the fitness of the appointments is to dis- count the judgment of the first census expert, perhaps, in the world, Gen. Walker, who bas pronounced them as a whole “almost perfect.” Mr. Porter gives some interesting tables showing that the disappointment in re- spect to the population of the southern states is due to defective enumeration in 1870 and to the consequent abnormal apparent increase of 1880, and not to defective enumeration in the present census. He also makes a statistical showing of the percentage of increases of the various states, which indicates that if he has planned to mould the census for partisan purposes he has bungled the job wofully. He thinks that for the most accurate results there should be greater sim- Plicity in the population schedule by a redue- tion of the number of questions and a large increase of the number of enumerator. He shows that if the English ratio of enumerators toares had been observed in our last census there would have been 400,000 instead of 50,000 enumerators. He thinks that the number of the latter should be at least 100,000. These suggestions are of value. ——— It is well understood that neither the liquor dealers asa class nor the prohibitionists favor high license, the former generally desiring as low a license as they can get, the latter op- posing all licenses whatever on principle. The fact that the two extremes among the dis- putants over the liquor question unite against a high license bill is not, however, conclusive ‘against ita claims to be a measure beneficial to the ity. In no large American city is the male majority sentiment favorable to direct pro- hibition, and in none of them could & prohibitive law be enforced. Pro- hibition would not prohibit in Washington, the popular vote if it were taken would almost certainly sustain a Nicense system, and in view of these facts Congress is not at all likely to Pasta prohibitive law for the District until it bas reached a much higher moral cod demands thie leghistion. Tt toa reiemn that the best law is not the best absolutely, but the best which public sentiment ean endure and will enforce. The free whisky and lawless groggery rule under unenforced prohibition in large cities are farther removed from the anti- liquor purpose and design than the rigid regu- lation of the traffic under a high license sys- tem sustained and enforced by publie senti-| For Tue ment. If we cannot now have practical pro- hibition, and if a mere prohibitory statute would not be beneficial to the city under pres- ent conditions, the choice remaining is between high and lowlicense. The former offers certain advantages. it will reduce the number of sa- loons, and render the inspection and regulation of them more convenient, thorough and hewgt pensive. It will give the licensed dealers to the extensive use of drugs as practiced in the past. ‘This tendency exists, to creater or lees extent, not ‘only among physictans, but the public in general, and is naturally the strongest among the most intelligent and cultivated classes. ‘The Turkish or hot-sir Bath is the most powerful ‘and effective of these health-preserving and remedial agencies, and no conscientious and competent physi- ‘clan who has thoroughly and practically investigated the subject will deny the truth of this statement. The Turkish bath preserves health and cures disease Decause it most thoroughly and effectually cleanses the entire external covering of the body ; because it makes Strong and active this same outward covering which is ‘one of the most important organs of the body; be- cause by thus strengthening the texture and action of ‘the skin it fortifies and protects the system from all in- Jurious influences from without, as sudden changes of temperature, extremes of heat and cold, malarious in- ‘Auences, Re. ; because it purifies the blood ins per- fectly natural manner, by washing out throush the ‘7,000,000 pores of the skin, the waste, worn-out and Poisonous matters with which it becomes chanced; be- cause it equalizes and strengthens the circulation, aid- ing the heart in its work, and preventing oF curing local congestions and inflammations; be- cause it increases the strensth and activity of all the digestive processes, thus greatly promoting as- similation and nutrition; because it strengthens and develops the muscular system and «ives the benfits of exercise without nervous exhaustion of” fatigue; be- cause, by promoting circulation and nutrition, it Strengthens the entire nervous system and induces natural, restful sleep; because, when one is fatigued, irritated or careworn, it rests and svothes the tired ‘muscles and nerves by equalizing nervous and circula- tory action. The Turkish Bath, when judiciously taken, and its various processes adapted to the conditions sought to be accomplished, will as surely produce the above re- sults as daylight will follow the appearance of the It will accomplish these results, too, without any in- Jurious effects whatever and in » most agreeable and luxurious manner.
