A LOSS OF $4,000, 900 II!

Labor-saying inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workinSmen's bread
out OF their mouths. Although experience
has shown the fallacy OF that theory the
feeling. or fear. was natural.
But IL Is not so much the lack Of work
as the inability TO work that causes pow
erty and suffering. In England and
Wales every worklngman averages ten
days OF sickness every year. with total
loss Of wages for all OF about 100000
per year. In this country the loss is much
greater In all countries the prevailing
disease is indigestion and dyspepsia and
