Jacksonville, Fla.,* December 3.-
The value of publicity in campaigns
for the promotion of the public health
was emphasized here last night by
Edward A. Moree of New York, a for-
mer newspaper man now engaged' in
public heialth work, In his address be-
fore the forty-second annual conven-
tion of the American Public Health
association. Newspaper advertising
was Especially commended though
| Mr. Moree disavowed sympathy for
the advertising quack and harmful
patent medicines.
"Our criticisms would come with
more force if we recognized that the
sale of newspaper advertising space
is the chief source of income of the
papers," said Mr. Moree. The speak-
er declared advertising both neces-
sary and desirable in 'health cam-
paigns.
The secretary's report showed the
association to have a membership of
approximately 1,360 in the United
States, Canada. Mexico and Cuba.
PROPOSED NEW
CONSTITUTION
WAS REJECTED
Waco, Texas, Dec. 3.—After be
ing before a special committe, of
which Hon. George Tyler was chair-
man, for several days, and after be-
ing deliberated upon for over four
hours Wednesday, the Masonic grand
lodge decisively rejected the propos-
ed new constitution. Other members
of the committee were G. W. Tylr,
Bel ton; J. J. Dsvis, Galveston; W. S.
Play, San Antonio; A. W. Campbell,
J. L. Terrell, Dallas.
The old constitution was adopted
in 1856 and contains about 192 pro-
visions, while the new one contained
only about 65 provisions.
There was no special alignment
either for or against the new meas-
ure, and no scars were left to be
healed, it being merely honest dif-
ferences of opinion. There was prac-
tically no other business transacted
Wednesday of public interest, reports
being the main feature.
* The discussion of the new constitu-
tion kept the body in session until
after 2 o'clock in vhe afternoon. At
that hour adjournment was taken un-
til night, when the election of grand
officers was scheduled.
At the meeting of the grand lodge
last night Temple lodge No. 4 of
Houston, which demised 73 years ago,
was revised. Andral Vann, W. H.
Ward and A. F. Schubert were named
as the three principal officers. They
pre direct descendants of the original
members, all deceased.
Charters were also granted to
new lodges at Tomball, Layton,
Wheeler, Beuna,> Seadrift, Fowlerton
and Cookville.
The charter of one lodge which
had failed to follow Masonic law,
was suspended.
A master was deposed because he
had failed to make report to the
grand lodge of a trial in his lodge
after being instructed to do so.
