OVER 80, 900 DEATHS.
Due to Accident in the Past Year in
the United States.

Washington, Dec. 14-Between 80 and
35 thousand deaths and two million in
jured Is the accident record in the
United States during the past year
among workingmen according to a bull
lettn on accidents issued today by the
bureau of labor. OF these employed in
factories and workshops, it is stated,
that probably the most exposed class
are the workers in iron and steel Fatal
accidents among electricians and cleo
trio linemen and coal miners are de-
clared to be excessive, while railway
trainmen were killed in the proportion
of 8046 deaths per 5000 employees.
The bulletin declares that much that
could be done for the protection of the
workingmen is neglected, though many
and far reaching improvement have been
introduced in factory practices during
the last decade.
1t is pointed out that the possibilities
for successful accident prevention have
been clearly demonstrated in the ex-
pertence of foreign countries. Grant
ing, the bulletin states. that the I'M
DERIVING conditions in European coun-
tries are often quite different and that
many of our industrial accidents may
be the result of ignorance, reckless in
difference or carelessneSs, the fact re-
mains that an immense amount of hu-
man life is wasted and a vast amount
with resulting physical Impairment
which has very considerable economic
value to the nation as a whole"
1t is insisted that it should not be
impossible to save at least one-third
and perhaps one-half by intelligent and
rational methods of factory inspectfon

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of improper
food
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last. so will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A. N. Y young wo-
man writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago I had a lot of trou-
BILE from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. 1 got SO was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medi-
cines seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as a
last resort, I tried it. I am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that 1 can now eat anything
desire. But I stick to Grape-Nuts."

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 14-C. D.
