Painters Suffer From Alcohol

An excessive use Of alcohol and not the
effects of white lead in paint Is the causa
of large number of deaths among Jour
neymen painters in France. according to a
report made to the French senate Consul
Covert of Lyons says:
In 1908 the French senate appointed a
committee of scientific men to investigate
the effects OF white lead upon the health
Of journeymen painters. The committee
has just reported that it has made care
ful investigation OF the subject in eighty
six OF the lightweight departments into
which France is divided, extending its in
quliies even into Algeria. According TO
this report, out of 1874 journeymeu painters
who were in the hospitals OF France in
1906 only twenty-SeYen were sick from dis
eases originating from their trade. II this
number were double says the report we
are still very far from the ravages which
have been attributed to the use of white
lead. The committee has not been-a BILE TO
discover any evidence OF the excessive NOR
tality which was reported to prevail in
this business. The death rate among house
painters is very low, averaging only one
in every 1909 or $500 journcymen. In
Paris the jouTncymen painters number 30
CO., and the average treated IN the hos
pitfalls during tho last five years was only
100 The report declares that the mortality
among painters i'll France is excessive only
