KEYED UP BY DANGER.
Public health in Britain, as Lord Horder observed in his vigorous and salutary discourse, keeps an astonishingly high level, considering the discomfort borne by crowds of homeless people in shelters—deep refuges being so regrettably few in proportion to the population. Conditions of life so manifestly inipropitious, notes the London “Observer,” have propagated very few of the diseases which medical judgment would expect from them. This is partly due, as Lord Horder affirms to excellent measures of sanitation and ventilation. But something must also bo allowed for the sanative influence of high morale. In other words, the “war on nerves” doubly frustrates itself by keying up body as well as mind.
