THE PRESSM EN-.

The Pressmen's international union
makes quick work of the remnant
still left of Typotheate. The pro-
posed contract with that body for a
nine-hour day, open shop agree
ments is badly smashed. Such agree
ment the presmen are prepared to
ratify, even though they are thereby
doing business with a nonetity, pro
vided the Typothtetae will give up it'
darling little foundlings, the open
shop and will pay nine-hours'
wage for an eight-hour day. The
chance thus given the Typothetae,
while on its last legs, to do business
with a real live body shouldn't be
trifled with. A little while and it will
be out of existence, anyway Such an
agreement, if it does it no further
good, will help to make it believe for
little while longer that it is still
alive!. The pressmen are no dupes or
pawns to be played in the game of

Some Good Advice to Those Afflicted
-ea- ,z With~xbeus,peson. -

~ 81 - =
There is a society in the east that is
organized for the purpose of combating
the dread disease consumption. 1t is
financed by men who have plenty of
money and a desire to be of service to
their fellows The society is sending
OUT literature which is helpful and cal
cEated to restrict and finally eradicate
the disease. The society offers the fol-
lowing good advice:
The spit and the small particles;
coughed up and sneeZed out by con-
sumptives, and by many who do not
know that they have consumption, are
full of living germs too small to be
| seen. Those germs are the cause of
consumption.
/ Don't spit on the sidewalk-it
spreads the disease and it is against
the law.
Don't spit on the floors of your
rooms or Railways.
Don't spit on the floor of your shop
When you spit, spit in the cutters OF
into a spitoon Have your own spit
toons half full of water and clean
| them out at least once a day with hot
water
Don't cough without holding a hand
kerchief or your hand over your
mouth.
Don't live in rooms where there is
no fresh air.
Don't work in rooms where there is
nc fresh air.
Don't sleep in rooms where there is
no fresh air
Keep at least one window open in
your bedroom day and night.
Fresh air helps to kill the consump-
ton germ.
Fresh air helps to keep you strong
and healthy.
Don't eat with soiled hands-wash
them first
Don't neglect a cold or a cough.
! Don't drink whisky, beer or other in
toxicating drinks; they will do you nc
good, but will make it harder for you
to get well.
Don't sleep in the same bed with
anyone else, and, if possible, not in the
same room.
Good food, fresh air; and rest are
the best cures. Keep in the sunshine
as much as possible and keep your
windows open, winter and summer
night and day-fresh air, night and
day, is good for you.
Go to hospital while you can and
before it is too late. There you can gel
the best treatment, all the rest all the
fresh air, and all the food you need.
