Many OF the two hundred employees in

with PHOSPHORUS is detrimental to health,
and physicians assert that it's action on the
teeth will in time destroy them and leave
the victim sufferer from neciosis, a dis
ease which affects the muscles of the neck
and Jaw. Some time ago several of the
employees began complaining that their
teeth were rapidly crumbling away. The
match factory managers investigated and
discovered that the fumes from the phos-
phorus worked the trouble. They tested
several ways of purifying the air in the
work room, but the trouble continued
Then they decided en- more stringent

was appointed.
While some of the girls complied with the
order many did not, and the managers were
again confronted with a problem They
read of a case last week where a match
company had been sued for big damages
by an employe whose health had been
ruined. and they Immediately decided on a
new plan.
When the girls and the few men went to
work last Monday they found a big notice
pasted on the door. 1t read:
THE following employees have not COM
