GOOD RURAL HEALTH
AMERICA’S FIRST DUTY
Washington, July 18.—“ The esti
mated economic loss which our nation
suffers each year from typhoid fever
and malaria alone aggregates = $928,
ip234,580, leaving out of entire account
the sorrow, the unhappiness, the mis
ery, and the enefliciency which follow
in their train.” Senator Joseph K.
Ransdell, of Louisanna today address
ed the Senate on the subject of “Rur
al Health—America's First Duty.”
“The greatest asset that our country
can have” said Senator Ransdell, “is
the healthy American citizen, and vai
uable as it may be fo increase. the
health of livestock and vegetation, it is
of far greater importance that we
throw every possible cafeguard about
the health of the man who is respon
sible for that livestock and vegetation.
Over 00 million dollars lost every
year! A sum which is sufficient to
put our country into a state of pre
paredness equal to that of any nation
in the world, enough money to give
us the largest navy afloat and the most
efficient army which the world has
cver scen. is annually offered up as a
sacrifice to diseases which are entire
ly preventable. Enough money to
pay the annual expensese of every col
lege student in the United States is
absolutely thrown away every year.”
Senator Ransdell estimates the
grand total loss from {yphoid fever at
$171,932,580 per annum, and the Jjoss
from malaria at -694,904.750 per year;
the total per capita from these two dis
cases hLeing $9.46. By comparative
estimzles it was shown that the United
States Government appropriated $5,-
016,175 for the investigation and pre
vention of the diseases of animal and
plant life and only $1,917,566 for the
invesiigation and prevention of the
diseasvs of man .

“AGE OF RUBBER”
GOODRICH PREDICTS THAT VAST
LY INCREASED SUPPLIES OF
CRUDE RUBBER WILL LOWER
COST AND ENLARGE ITS USES.
Akron, 0., July 18.—8So0 many indus
tries are face to face with constantly
decreasing supplies of raw materials
and evor increasing demands due to
population growth, that the contract
afforded by the rubber business looms
up vividly.
in 1905, according to figures given
out for publication by the B. I'. Good
rich compand, uncultivated or “native”
rubber comprised 60,800 tons, while in
1914 the production had dropped back
to 60,000 tons. But cultivated or plan
tation rubber in the same space of
time ha: risen from 145 tons to 64,000
tons.
In 1917, the Goodrich company esti
mates that while native rubber pro
duction will have fallen to 34,500 tons,
plantation rubber will amount to 147,
000 tons. By 1927, it is predicted that
209,000 tons of cultivated rubber will
be available while but 30,000 tons of
native lubber will be preduced.
Thus 1917 will show a total increase
of 50 per cent in crude rubber supplies
over 1914, due to the fast growing pro
duction on plantations. And when raw
rubber reaches that level of cost which
vastly increased supplies would indi
cat, myriad new uses will be added to
those for which the present relatively
limited production is required.
Leather Extremely Scarce.
As ranches and open ranges became
converted into farms, and the number
of cattle decreases, lessening the sup
ply of leather, while the population
which must wear shoes and the fac
tories which must have belting in
crease, rubber will step in more and
more 10 furnish better service at even
lower cost.
Illustrations of these changes are
already at hand. The B. F. Goodrich
company has announced Textan, a
composition sole which outwears
leathar and is superior in many re
spects. Goodrich Rubber Belting is
fast supplanting expensive leather belt
ing an 1 is performing the work as well
or beiler. »
Goodrich Holds to Fair Prices.
Keen'ly alive to the importance of
“tomorrow” in the rubber field, the
Goodrich company states that it be
lieves in holding to fair and moderate
prices upon all it produces, as for ex
ample its prices on tires, which fimgo
15 to 50 per cent. below figures which
their uality could command through
comparison with other tires listed at
15 to 50 per cent higher prices.
Thas it hopes to hasten the “Age
of Rubber,” which, in its conviction,
means greatly increas<d bencfits to all
humanity. ’
