COMEDY, ree SAYS CITY BOYS! ‘ARE HEALTHIEST Army ihesiinalons Proved" It Declares Reed The boy from the country is tn- ferior physically to city boys, hod | cording to Dr. Hiram Reed, pre health commissioner. This fact, ac- cording to Dr, Reed, was estab- lished beyond doubt tn the exami- nation of both classes of men for the great draft army. Dr. Reed Tuesday night addressed the last meeting of the Seattle Training School for Volunteer Workers in the city-county building. This advantage of the city boy can be attributed only to the #u- perior public health service of the city, according to Dr. Reed. One of the crying needs of the nation, tn hin belief, ts a public health cam- paign of education in rural com- munities. Improper housing, the |fly problem and lack of care are the chief causes of poor health ir untry, he says. To keep people comfortable as well as healthy !s part of the mod ern health program, according te Dr, Reed. Proper and adequate food, housing, clothing and ventila- tion are essentials in keeping peo ple fit. The application of the principles developed along these lines in military hygiene, if applied to civilian life, would work won- ders, he says. In company Rournes, who first advanced the idea in Seattle, Dr, Reed believes that the day is coming when cure | will be the smallest part of the! practice of medicine, and it will be the object of government to co-| operate and direct the medical pro: | fenrion in the prevention of diseaso, with Dr F. &. | to their tonic fealing action. sold verywhere, ee oe J. isda phan stig a -A Well Known Bear Has a Vision LD AND FORGIVE?
