~ CONSIDERING tie uncounted mil
lions of the worlds population
who In one way and another are
" subject to the dangers of lead
poisoning in it's many forms, no
other industry in the history Of the
world has carried with it the menace
that comes with lead mining, lead
smelling, and the manufacture and
adaptation of lead products to their
almost illimitable uses in the arts and
trades.
When your attention has been called
to some particular trade where the
deaths from so-called s'natural causes
are unusually high, it is almost GER
tainty that lead poisoning in one de-
gree or another will have entered into
the causes of the abnormal mortality.
Lead and lead products affect a dozen
trades in vital manner, and wherever
the metal or it's products are used there
will it's poisonous effects be marked in
the death rolls Of the workers.
Looking over the dangers Of some
Of the trades as compared with the
farmers chance of life at his work,
the poisonous effects OF lead and it's
byproducts are emphasized in the ranks
Of the file maker who works by hand,
in the lead workers in general, among
the potters and GLACIERS, among the
glass cutters and zinc workers. The
file maker, who makes his cuts into the
steel with a chisel driven by a hard
hammer, has one Of the most dangerous
occupations in the world, due wholly
to lead poisoning, which results from
the slab Of lead upon which the file

for the grinding Of grain does greater
death rate exist among the trades from
the so-called "natural'' causes. Close
upon the death rate of the file-maker,
however, it is the mortality rate Of the
worker in the production of lead and
it's byproducts, while the potter, who
uses the lead products in glazing his
wares, is close competitor in the race
with death.
Lead poisoning as an economic factor
in civilization IS almost without end
in it's bearings. Not only does it affect
the worker at times in horrible man
ner, but his posterity are its victims in
almost more horrible possibilities.
l. 4. i.
The "plumbism - Of lead poisoning
may be acute or chronic, according to
circumstances. At the best 8 per cent
Of the workers in lead and with it in
large quantities may expect poisoning
in marked degree. Lead becomes doubly
dangerous for the reason that its poison
Gus salts have no unpleasant odor or
taste. Now and then the individual is
found who is virtually immune, at least
salts are easily soluble, and the onset
of the trouble may be most insidious.
In the case of chronic plumbism the
victim has an unnatural pallor, anemia
is marked in lips and gums, his feat
ures become altered and expressionless,
a metallic taste develops in his mouth,
making food intolerable in the morning,
thus often forcing him to go to work
on an empty stomach, which in itself is
worst possible provocation.
Under the influence of an acute at
tack Of plumbism the victim may have
to lie down and roll in the agony Of alb
dominal pains. His pulse is slow and
feeble; he suffers from sleeplessness,
has a collapsed appearance, and wears
an anxious look. One of these attacks
leads to another, blue line appears in
the gums close to the line Of the teeth,
and after several Of these attacks the
victim may suffer both the "wrist
drop" and the ankle drop''-a pain
less but total temporary paralysis of
the ankles and wrists. In the worst
forms these acute attacks are shown in
commissions that last two or three days,
when the patient dies. If at the end of
the third day the patient is alive he
has q chance for life, though he may
be blind for the rest Of his life.
In the case of a mother poisoned by
lead her child dies soon after birth in
commissions. Where both parents are
poisoned children almost invariably are
born dead.

ance is not only prepossessing but bold
and self-reliant.
Many an amusing story is told Of this
small hill tribe, numbering about 400
men. An American missionary was
working among them, when one day he
saw some women and boys building
hut of bamboo. He inquired why the
men were not performing this labor, and
one woman explained: Husband mine
don It work; me and boys build house,
The missionary made no further COM
ment, but when the hut was built he
told the husband that he must build an
other hut, as he could not live in home
made by women and children. But the
surprised Toda answered. "No, no, rae
no work; man has boys and wife to
work.
The Toda meant what he said. Al
though the missionary argued, and
finally horsewhipped the native, he
could not get him to build hut.
i. +
An equally amusing story is told by
an English officer. He was so taken by
the handsome appearance Of one Of the
natives he wanted to take him to
England and place him in his own regi-
ment. The officer gave the native skins
and silks until the Toda promised to,
become an English s seldier.' He WAS de De,

leaving his country, his wife and chill
dren, but when he was told that sol
diers work he said:

When the English officer tried to per-

wy INDOW washing as contract
AI ing business on large scale
wv is one Of the results Of Ameri-
w can enterprise in recent years
and, today practically all the
windows in the business district OF a
large city are cleaned by contract.
From a business standpoint it is as
profitable as any line Of contract work
and takes as keen a business man to
handle it properly. To the workmen
it pays as good wages, but they are not
in comparison by any means with the
danger of life and limb involved.
Next to that Of the. steeplejack the

as any and fully as dangerous. The
man who undertakes it must be physi-
cally perfect and possess a cool head, for
q moment Of excitement might cost him
his life. These men are consequently
sober and Industrious and are seldom
like that of the railroad man. It must
be done quickly, carefully and exactly
on time. He must go in calm and
windy weather, and Of course in the
latter he must be unusually careful.

Almost any day these men may be
seen at work high in the air. City folk

buildings that they do not look up and
thus often miss some interesting aerial
exhibitions. The cleaner is usually pro.

the linotype worker gets it thfu the
fumes Of the metal and from the oxi-
died particles in the floor dust.
No one working in lead products in
any form can afford to neglect every
poison. Clean hands, plenty Of milk,
and changes Of clothing in order to
prevent contamination from them are
essential.
Workers in dusty atmospheres, per
haps, are victims to diseases and death
ers. Everywhere that dust particles fly
in mill and shop the worker is vic

and the dust is poisonous within itself.

worst forms Of poisoning. The infection
shows in a tooth, perhaps, gradually

bone of the jaw dies and is destroyed.
Coincident with this, too, other bones
