Who can fail to find a thrill in reading of the marvelous discoveries that have been made. This generation is the beneficiary of those services. The speaker described the absorbing development of scienc from the time of Pasteur, the father of bacteriology, in 1865, to the present era. Of how sanitation was urged' and proven to be of Infinite value by the painstaking and labors of that small coterie of scientists and physicians who dared death to prove the correctness of their theories regarding malaria, yellow fever and control of all diseases. In modern times, declared Mrs. we have heroes of science Miller, as of war. Such heroes working for the prolongation of life cannot be said but to be as great as those dealing death in their line of duty. Modern health work is our modern self-sacrifici- ng magic. The speaker gave in detail the results of public health work. The developed by the efforts of its advocates; the psychological effect for good behavior resulting, and the advertising which has aided in a great advance in the control of various forms of disease. The public health work through educational propaganda, she stated, is influencing better behavior and control of disease in five things iat least. First, control and prevention of tuberculosis. The committee on public health of the Federated clubs cooperate with state and local units in the campaign by aiding in taking care of the various forms of the disease. Second, public health nursing is being advocated, and it is recommended that every nurse have a background of technical training in connection with her special field. Third, occupational therapy is being advocated, and it is found that great advances have been made in the treatment of invalids by the application of methods used. Fourth, mental hygiene, tending towards the idea that body and mind are a unit, and undertaking to prove that this form of science is wise and sane, is also proving successful by reason of proving that results are gained by letting nature take its course. One of the ideas of mental hygiene is that success depends upon the mental images being coordinated with actual facts of life. The last policy advocated and beIn fostered is social ing is fostering tills work the federation hygiene. a movement to fit the mothers for training of the children, and to have sane, balanced ideas of sex life. "Until we come to a realization that social hygiene is not a vulgar, declared Mrs. Miller, eheap idea, "we cannot have a realization of the great fact that life force is one of the greatest gifts of the creator. The 'young people of today are no worse than those of the past. They are attempting to work out "a new code of moraliy based on the equality of I the sexes. Mrs. Miller states that every person should, so as to speak, give himself a birthday gift once a year that birthday gift to be a physical examination.

"Woman is the natural conservator of the race, and community hygiene deis one of the greatest things, clared Mrs. Miller. "Better care makes for better citizenship.

Mrs. Ycfting stated that the four things sheijwished to bring out clearly were, fist, that clubs and the federations clubs are very much careful and full worthwhil; second, consideration of the significance of acts.
