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.

by ivorkcrs compared in import-
ullcc with ulieniployment. In Great
Britain the aver:i;;c wage comer
loses iibcllt two weeks' worx

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

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

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-

when feeding different kinds of

conducive to good breeding results.
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

question we. would recommend you
to trust the female for another year,
but_we would not recommend fox
breeders to lirust n. female a third
time. 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

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
