to be emulated. The appropriation for health work in that city 
amounts to about $1 per capita per year—the largest per capita ex-

necessarily be much agitation and education before they can profit- 
ably take up the work. Right here lies a field for civic associations, 
women’s clubs, boards of trade, ete., to exercise their best energy, 
initiative, and leadership. :
