(New York Sun) Within the last few years the Units ed States has made commendable pro- gress in the conservation of health in some districts. The public has been tausht in considerable sections of the country, for example, that epidemics of typhoid fever are avoidable. Sci- ence has reduced the danger ¢f diph- theria. The mortality among infants has been brought down and is falling steadily. But in spite of thesc ficial accomplishments many lems remain be discussed health commissioners now in « tion in Saratoga.

The government called for the development of these mines and the discovery of othems. Private responded. When the war more than thirty mines in California and three in the State of Washington, representing an investment of $4,000,- 000, had shipped to the four refrac- tories in the last 626,000 tons of the indispensable ore and had enough in sight to keep up the pace for years to come.
