The others are made up of county supervisors, village clerks and village presidents. These people are splendid citizens but they are not trained in the prevention and control of disease. The larger cities have physicians trained in public health work for their health officers because they have discovered that training and experience are essential to good management. As a rec; ult the cities have less typhoid fever, less smallpox, less tuberculosis and smaller· losses from a number of other communicable - diseases than do the rural people. Before they found out about the benefits obtainable from scientific h~alth service the city people always suffered more severely than tht farmers from communicable disease. · ChancDer'a are Evanston Headquarters f~r Regulation Boy Scout Uniforms and Equipment.
