Pi‘olinllly one of the most im-

Poor health involves economic
loss iii so f.lr as it leads to loss of liilic from lvurk, inefficiency and turlio'.er of labor, prematl1l°o` death, and expenses in caring for those who arc ill. Some ill health is to ,bc expected. The medical pro- fession as yet' cannot guarantee us complete ilnniunity from measles, cancer, tllberclllosifv, and other dis- eases, not to mention the common cold, even under the most favor- able conditions. But a great deal oi illness and death is preventable and it is thc losses flowing from this that one can classify as eco-
nomic \va.".te.
ilii~,r~.=;s as ll cause of loss of time
by ivorkcrs compared in import- ullcc with ulieniployment. In Great Britain the aver:i;;c wage comer loses iibcllt two weeks' worx through sirrlzners and about five vrcclzs from unemployment. In the United Stairs workers lose about one week per year from sickness and foul' weeks from unelnploy- ment. Certalnl7.' more than half of this llliiess and consequent loss of time from work is preventable. The Siu izll ll;,',1eri<r Couiicil nizlke n. si-

a factory building burns. Clearly it must be expensive to any colnlnlln- ity to have any of these valuable capital assets destroyed a moment. earlier than the strict necessities of nature decree.
A further item in this balance
sheet of economic loss alid waste consists of the expense of caring for the sick and disabled. In Cana- da they total expenditure upon hos- pitals, sanatoria and asylums, apart from other items of medical care, exceed $50,000,000.00 annually. Surely the expenditures made ne- cessary by preventable illness may be considered _as wasted, even al- .tllough they might be replaced by others as large, if our programme of health preservation was more adequate. Dr. J. W. S. McCullough of the Ontario Department oi Health recently estimated that the total cost of illness in Canada amounted to more than $300,000,- O00.00 annually and that the loss from premature deaths exceeded $l,000,000,000.00 On assumption that half of this illness is preventable, the annual loss from this source which might be avoided is $150,- 000.000.00-a good deal more than tho huge Dominion deficit recently alinoiiuceil for the last fiscal year.
Thus it appears that preventable
illiiefss and prelnature death rank high iii the list of economic wastes. It is clear that those who strive and succeed in improving public health eondil‘ons are not merely humanitariaiel salvers of pain and suffering, but also waste ell- minators of the first importance.
The economic service rendered
by the Public Health movement in conserving health and life is shown definitely by the remarkable dc-
cline both in the morbidity andy mortality rates which have occur- red during the last few decades. These impressive achievements have been coincident with the rise of preventive medicine and nobo- dy doubts them due other than Public Health efforts.
It is quite impossible to say just
what economic value this Public Health programme has been in dol- lars but when we consider that the last few decades some fiftecn‘ years and the crude death rate average expectation of life lias in-l creased in our country during the has declined more than 100 per- cent and the infant mortality rate from 250 per thousand in 1875 to 75 in 15125 and that typhus, small- pox, diphtlieria, scarlet fever, and dlarrliocal diseases have been very greatly redllce-'l-in some parts,
where Public Health progrnmmcsy have been in force for some time. almost eliminated; and when we consider such estimates oi loss from bad health as have been above mentioned-then it must be abun-
Public Health achievement in any nodcm community, from the eco- iionilc standpoint alone, has alrea- dy been enormous. l The Public Health movement has. I venture to say, paid for it-` si~li over and over again. The sliv-
eilrquiitc Public Health service is
mulilty in terms of dollars and
niilintailiing the service and much iiicrc. Ent it is not sufficient to rest oil our ours and bc content with what we have done. I have already said a good deal about the terrific economic wastes incidental to the had health that is still pre- sent in spite of the remarkable acliieveillelits of the Public Health inovelnelit. And, as I have noted, there is abundant testimony that a vast amount of sickness can be prevented. if only adequate pro- vision is made for the extension of the principles and practices of pre- vcntlve medicine. This extension, no less than what has already been done, uliglit to return large divi- dellds.
The public would benefit direct-
ly from an extension of Public Health programmes through hav- ing to spend less upon such charl- table alid welfare items as hospi- talization of iiidigcnts, poor relief, old age pensions, and mothers' pensions. A good cfetil of the pover- ty which confronts us is induced largely by illness or premature death of the bread winner. There is no greater opportunity for a quick and more certain return on any investment than an invest- ment in Public Health. The peo- ple of Canada and the United States and. in fact the whole world are only beginning to awak- en to the enormous possibilities of profit in preserving life and health, -Canadian Public Health Journal, February 1932.

The sessions oi Congress will be held in the magnificent building that licuses the International In- stitute of Agriculture. Membership is open to all who take the tour, but in order to be eligible for the host's hosptallty congress membership will be necessary.

Question: I would like to know
what to do to make my foxes shed heir fur ln the summer. ` During the summer time foxes
the middle of September. At that should receive some green vegetm
tion so that they can be fed in step with the season. We would recom- mend you to feed each day during the months of June and July, small
entities of some form of green
x, using either young green gross. r young green clover, or young
spinch or watercress or some other similar vegetation. We would warn ou against feeding the turnip tops
started to grow. These should be fed when the turnlp and beet beds are being thinned out, also we would wam you to avoid feeding com meal, oatmeal, whole wheat flour and any other cereals that would have a heating effect on the blood, as our experimental work in- dicates that when foxes are fed
months, it tends to hold the fur tight on the body. It will repay you
mer months, either cooked or raw rice flour, fed according to the re-
e summer your foxes should have
beginning or some time during the month oi Jlily. In reply to this question we would advise you to
season. Durllig June and July when green vegetation is prevalent in nat- ure feed your foxes some of that green vegetation. On the other hand ,avoid feeding cereals that are not ripe or ready for feeding
as cornmeal, oatmeal, and whole wheat flour.
Question: In the last report of
your ranch, you give a raw cereal
31st. I intend to feed my foxes on his ration this year, but you do not give any rations up to June 1st.- I‘ would like you to give me a. ration so that I can feed it all the yearl round.
As a result of our experimental
work in feeding raw cereals during he summer and fall months, \ve can recommend fox breeders to feed such a. ration from the lst of June to December 31st. We have been able to produce on those rations better fur than on any other ra- tions. The length, texture and col-

We have also carried out experi- mental work feeding row cereals during three breeding seasons, but up to the present time there is no conclusive evidence that tt is any advantage when fed at that time over acooked cereal ration. In re-
ply to this question we woulf advise you to 'feed a raw cereal rat on from June lst t/o December 31st, but dur- ing the breeding season and until the month of May or the first of June to feed a well cooked biscuit, or a well cooked bread or some oth- er well cooked cereal, lf convenient when the weather permits, li well cooked porrldge.
Question: One of my females had
a litter of nve last year and did not care for them as slie 'was badly naked. We raised one on a cat. but we lost all the others. Do you think it would be safe to trust her this year?
I would certainly advise you to
trust this female at least another season. Sha evidently is a good breeder. It may not be hc: fault that she was badly caked when the pups were born. It might have been due to the manner, in which she had been fed, but I would advise you to look at tho pups before they are one day old and each day following. li there should be any signs oi weak- nen in the pups and they do not

If anyf female loses her litter for two or mpre years in succession, it is very probable that it is not due to the manner in which she has been fed, but there is something else radically wrong with her, no that in cases where females have lost two or tilu-ee litters in succes- sion, we would recommend fox breeders to ‘take the pups away from the female and raise them on a cat. l ` "
Question: Home of our fox pups
get soft legs below the knees so that they bend. What can be done to prevent this 7 Some ranchers say it is caused by feeding too much meat. Evidently your fox pups have been
suffering from A form of ricketa, but 'there are different forms of malformation at the bones of the legs that have. been deslguatedhs rickets. some young animals will develop mlllforniation of the bono! oi. tho legs due.to the fact that tho diet has been deficient in the vita- mins A and D, _ln which case there is a pronounced. enlargement of the
bones throughout the entire length, but more particularly at the Joints lu proportion wi the deficiency of those vitamins. This is s. true form of rickets, but tihere is also a. mal- formation of thus bones of the legs which may be caused by feeding excessive quantibies of the vitamins A,.and D and this is the condition that is most jirevlalent in fox ranch-` es throughout dhe country. It is due to a lopsided development, foxes getting too much of one thing and not enough of .a.nother. In some cases it is due o_o boo much meat, in others too mudh milk and ln oth- ers through ieedlng a combination of milk and cod liver oil. We would warn fox breedeps to avoid feeding excessive quantltlizs oi meat or milk to their fox pups, and avoid feedlnl cod liver oil in any shape or form to the pups utter they are six weeks old. In reply to this question we would say that the condition that your pups have suffered from can be prevented by proper feeding and it ls quite probable as the ranchers said that in your case It has been due to ,feeding too much meat. We would recommend you to use as a guldn in feeding your fox pups tits outA‘ines of daily rl.- tions for pups dqring the different stages of growth that are given in the reports of thc.Experlmenta.l Fox
