The fourth annual report of the state board of health was issued yesterday and is being delivered by the secretaiTt Dr. J. W. Bedden. It is the most valuable document ever issued by this organization.

Among other things this report says: There are at the present time eighty-three organized county health boards; active, zealous and progressive in educating the people in their respective counties in the principles of sanitary measures for the prevention of disease. Ten other counties have health organizations that accomplish more or les work in tbo same line of sanitary reform, while the remaining thirteen, mostly western and border countis, are interested, to some extent, at least, in enforcing the plain and Important rules which have for their object the preservation of lieal h. What benefits have been accomplished during the year by the state and county health boards cannot be estimated; but an examination of this annual report will convince any anxious inquirer that no financial estimate can be made of the number of epidemics that have been prevented, lives saved, ckness, suffering and distress driven from the quiet homes and cheerf nl firesides. During the year the state board has prepared, printed and distributed, through the county health beards and county in the various counties of the state, 5,000 pamphlets on small-pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria and typhiod fever; their prevention and restriction. These pamphlets, through the kindness and public spirit of the editors, have been pub-lis ed in full in the majori of the unties of the state, and through the channels have reached the homes of tens of thousands ot tbe people, and have ihus proved valuable and important factors in educating the masses in the simplest and most etfectual methods of preventing these prevalent and fatal, but preventive, diseases.

As sanitarians and educators we should lay more stress and emphasis upon the importanc and value of preventive mediciue. For he who prevents a disease is sorely a greater benefactor and humanitarian that he who controls and suppresses a disease or epidemic after It lias once gained a foothold, and made its impress upon a family or community. The reports of the county health officers show that during the year small pox and var ioloid prevailed ill fifteen counlte, and that the origin of this disease in nine of these counties was traced directly or indirec ly to Wichita. Wichita had by far the largest per cent of mortality, being one in every six and one-halt persons, while McPherson follows nest in the list, having eight deaths out of sixty cases, while in the remaining thirteen counties thera were only fo-jr deaths out of 112 cases. At McPherson lUe physicians and prominent citizens were loath to believe tbat they had smallpox in their city, and were altogether too dilatory in enforcing rigid and thorough isolation, quarantine, vaccination and disinfection; while in Reno, Leavenworth, Sumuer, Harvey, Saline, Lyon, Kingman, Pratt, Hire, Shawnee, Pawnee, Clay and Wabaunsee counties they promptly enforced the well established and important rules prescribed by the State board of health with most gratifying results.

We hope the time is not far distant when the people la general will be educated to see the necessity of exercising the same vigilance and using" safeguards in preventing all other contageous and pestilential diseases as they do now in the cases ot small pox, cholera and yellow fever. Much progress ha3 been made in special san.tary work by the state bo rd, in personal and careful inspection of ail the state charitable institutions, witli such recommendations aud suggestions to the trus'ees ot said institutions as tbe board were atisfi 1 would material improve their sanitary surroundings, and add to the comfort and health of the inmates. Impure water is the fruitful source and cause of many preventable and fatal diseases. This fact is becoming more gene. ally recognized, aud as a consequence more attention is psid and care siren to the selection of pure water supplies.

It is Important, therefore, that we should know what the Btaudard of a pure water supply is, and not be content until we have secured it. For sad experience hasshowuui tii at deviations from certain standards are hazardous, because in certain states of weather and other surroundings, or in certain ages or constitution, there may Le aud are serious results. Sometimes these are of a general character, as where some slight disturbance of the digestive act takes place, and there is a slight fever or diarrhea, or other functional disturbance. In other cases tbere is some specific disease, as typhoid fever, or epidemic dysentery. We have extended our research and investigation in this Important direction, so far a time and the limited means at ttie disposal of the board would warrant, and with beneficial results.

The registration of physicians and inidwives in the state although not complete, has been made as near so as possible uuder our law. Tbe report shows that up to the present time there have hoeu registered The collection and tabulation of vital statistics is a Blow and tedious process, but under the limited' authority and power of the law we have made regular and steady progress, and we hope the people will be educated to see the necessity and benefits resulting from the accurate and reliable collection of vital statistics. The work of the board grows in importance and scope; while it requires time and labor to educate the people in the plain, every day lessons of sanitary reform, yet they manifest a willingness to aid and enforce all rules and regulations, that is both encouraging and commendable.

A member of the state pharmaceutical association extended an invitation to the members of the state medical society to be present at their coming meeting In Leavenwortii. Resolutions were adopted on the death or Dr. WY H. Buckmaster of Oskaloosa, who died on March SO.

The society adjourned to meet this morning at 8 o'clock, when the last session ot the meeting wiil be held. Dr. J. S. Stewart, of Topeka, read a valuable paper on "Intubation of the Larynx," which was ably discussed for an hour by nu merous mem tiers oi me society.

Following this was the reading of a paper on "Forensic Medicine" by Dr. M. H. Cazier, of Burlingame. In closing his paper the doctor said, "Before adducing citations to prove the effects of punishment in checking epidemics of crime, let us pause to observe that a great proportion of mankind are, so far as their reason and intelligence are concerned, in the nature, of children, governed by instinct, appetite and passion, uncontroled by conscience and judgment.

From this class comes the greater proportion of criminals. From the cUf a incapable of reasoning because their facilities, are undeveloped, granting that the corrupt nature of man is the source of all crime, we cannot fail to see that its development is favored and fostered by the predominance of appetite and instinct over vnlitfnn Tt ta hrefnre evident that the remedy that will best prevent its consummation must be such as is of easy comprehension, direct in its application and certain of its effects to meet these requirements nothing can take the place of a wholesome fear of the penalties oflhe law, and a realizing sense of individual responsibility. It will be, however, urged that this class of criminals commit the so-called "motiveless crimes," and are consequently wholly oblivious to consequences. Let ute answer by referring to a class or criminals who are more universally conceded to be insane than any other, viz: suicides, and if we shall show that they are impelled or restrained by dread or hope of consequences, we shall hold that we have proven tbat insomuch as the remedy is thus capable of reaching the worst forms ot the disease, that Its potency is thus established and must be admitted. The people most given to suicide in the known world are probably the Cbinese, and that the full cause may be understood I quote from The Chinese Empire," voL page 10U.

The Abbe Hue writes: 'It is almost Impossible to Imagine the readiness with which the Chinese commit suicide. It requires only the merest trine or word to induce him to hang or drown himself these being the two kinds of suicide jiost In favor. In other countries when a man wishes to revenge himself on his enemy, lie tries to kill him; in China, he kills himself. There are various reasons for this. In the iirst place, the Chinese government holds the person responsible for the crime of suicide who gave the offense causing It.

It follows from this that if any one wishes to average himself on his enemy. He has but to kill himself to work him the direst woe. He falls into the hands of the executiouer who will torture ana ruin nun it not taite nis me. The family also of the suicide generally obtain large pecuniary compensation; and it is not rare to see wretched beings who are devoted to their family, go and deliberately commit suicide at the house of some rich person. On the other hand if anyone kills his enemy be thereby exposes himself, his friouds and his family to ruin and dishonor and deprives himself of the rights of burial a capital point with the Chinese.

Again, public opinion, instead of b.aming, glorifies aud honor the suicide; and lastly, it appears that the process of judgment is so terrible in many instances In China that the criminal fears It more than death." And again, tbe ladies of Miletus committed suicide in great numbers because their husbands and lovers were detained in the wars. At ono time there was an epidemic of drown ing mniKtat tin women or iripv ennui assign no cause for the singular tendency; It was, however, checked by an order that all who drowned heinselves should be publicly exposed hi the market place. That at Miletus was stoppea oy a siuiuax uevicw. me jauies chiefly hung themselves and the magistrate ordered that In every future case the body ahould be dragged through the town by the rope employed for the purpose, naked." By the prompt checking of this tbe worst ot criminal epidemics. is it not proven tbat fear of consequences is the most poteut agent we possess in the prevention of crime? This proven shall we as physicians interfere with the true course of justice by rmlievins men of responsibility who are justly responsible? and whose punishment ia demanded iu the Interest of society to the end that their rime shall not prove the pre cursor of an epidemic I trow not; and hereafter when we are confronted on the witness stand With questions conoeruing the sanity of a fellow man I trust our answer will not hinge on the question of whether the prisoner's mother had "hysteria" or his spinster aunt "menstrual troubles," nor even on the testimony of the accused that he "possessed an uncontroiable impulse to kill." Is not thts uncoutrolahle impulse more likely to become controlabie if the individual is fortified by a realizing sense that swift justice is to folio .1 close on the heels of bis crime if committed? rather than though he sees between him-6ft and punishment a tribunal which is to pass upon his sanity and who as the only aane mind places God himself as the standard and judges mankind thereby.

Iu this study of the duties and responsibilities ot the physician in the Forum, we have viewed him in such relationship to crime as contemplates its prevention. I have endeavored to enlarge upon his obligations to society and the state, be.ieving it to bo more important, broader philanthropy and truer patrot-isin to guard the welfare of the worthy in co-cent than to him guiltless who thedeth his neighbor's blood. And the matter should lilnfr t.pon the iiood of humanity, the welfare cf society and on central ir.ouude ot granddaughter came to cheer their home on a visd, and the angel of death has taken her nome to sister and cousin. ine bereaved family have the sympathy of their many friends.

Minneapol.s papers please copy. James Ramsey is preparing to manufacture vitrified brick in this city. He finds near this city the best quality of clay lor paving brick. and he says he can pave the streets ot Topeka for a less figure than any other kind of pavement can be furnished. Tbe Atchison Champion of May 4 says: "Wichita is talking of paring some of her principal streets.

Let us give Wichita some advice on mat suDj-et, drawn from exnerience. Use vitrified brick. It is, everything considered, the best paving material. In the old Dutch town of Amster dam, Holland, there are vitrified brick pave ments that have been down ior over hair a a century, and vet show no signs of decay. In Wheeling, W.

there is, at the crossing of the two streets on which tne neaviest tramc is done, a vitrified brick pavement that has been down a dozen vears. and it is a good a it was the day it was laid.

As a science bacteriology is still In its Infancy, but already its teachings are producing a most profound effect in the domains of medicine aud The Geographical society of Bremen has commissioned Dr.

SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT SHOES. Tho German mother says that should she lose tho heel of her shoe, ono of her children will dio beforo tho year is out. The Scotch lassio believes that should she by accident drop her new shoes beforo they have been worn, they will surely lead her into troublo.

It is said that old maids believe that when their shoes come untied, and keep coming untied, it is truo their sweethearts are talking and thinking about them. The sweetheart, when on his way to see his lady love, should ho stub his right too he will surely be welcome; but if ho stubs his loft he may know that he is not wanted. It is said that if old shoes are burned, snakes will squirm away from the place, while to keep old shoes that are past wearing about the place will surely bring good luck.

Should you meet a person whose shoes are "worn on theoas" you may put it down as a certainty, that he "spends as he goes," and on the same authority it is said that the girl that has her shoes "worn on the side" is surely fated to be a "rich man's bride. When a pair of new shoes are brought home, never place them on a shelf higher than your bead if you would have good luck whilo wearing them, and never blacken them beforo you have had both shoes on, else you may meet with an accident, and perhaps sudden death.
