short, and a days short work makes
our face long.
3. Give us more than we expect and
we II pay you more than you expect.
We can afford to increase your pay if
you increase our profits.
You owe so much to yourself
that you can't afford to owe ANYBODY

Good men, like good women, can't see
an accident when they meet it.
8. Mind your own business and in
time you will have a business Of your

T. Don't do anything which hurts
your self respect. The employe who

from US.
8. It's none Of our business what
you do at night, but if dissipation
affects what you do next day tnat is
our business, and you won't last long
with US.
Don't tell us what we would like to

Need of Beds for consump.ives.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama,
Idaho. Montana. Nevada, Oklahoma.
Wyoming and Utah, with a combined
population of over 5000 900, not one
bed for consumptiyes has been pro-
vided. In nine states and territories,
Alaska, Delaware, Florida. Kansas,
Mississippi, South Carolina. South Da-
kota. Vermont and West Virginia, the
number OF beds for consumptives in
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 1000 900. On the basis OF 400
deaths to a million OF population,
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states, with at
least 2o.0 600 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them.
