Working and Stopping

From the New York Sun.
Advice by an energetic, efficient busi-
ness man to tired man now going back
to work after tired out spell: Take
things easier and get more fresh air. No
worry. Do the most important thing first
and then the next. Generally, the things
you don't do aren't worth doing. What
you think you ought to do you want to
do up to the handle and do 1t quick and
then forget It, Don't putter. The way
to get along, in my judgment, is to work
up to the limit for a certain limited num-
Der of hours and then stop. A man can
get further in the long run walking three
and half miles an hour for eight hours
out of each twenty-four than he can 60
ing two miles an hour for sixteen hours
in twenty-four. The first way he can
keep going and improve; the last way he
will deteriorate and finally have to quit"

The Kentucky Legislature has but a
few more days in which to put through
the measure creating a State Sanata-
rum for tuberculosis. Will it do it?
The measure has been before three
Legislatures 1t was passed by the
Senate in 1906; it was passed by both
Houses in 1908 and vetoed by the Gov
ernor. No measure has been before
these three legislatures of greater i'm
portance to the people of Kentucky.
There are today about thirty thous-
and cases of tuberculosis in Kentucky
There is but one disease or group of
diseases OF which there are more cases.
Kentucky's death rate from tuberculc-
sis is only exceeded by those States in
the Union to which many persons go
to be curedsor to die of tuberculosis.
On the cases in our State we are
spending something like three million
dollars year, without diminishing the
death rate The question is shall we
spend one hundred and twenty thous-
and dollars for plant and sixty thous-
and year for maintenance intelligent
~ and in way that will diminish the
death rate, instead of continuing to
waste money without helping the stu
alton? Legislators of Kentucky. you
are sent ito Frankfort on the
assupmtion that you are wiser
than the rest of us, that you will leg
islate for Kentucky people in the best
way Will you continue to ignore the
most important interests of the people.

something TO better the situation!

The Main Cause.

A food theroist observes that one of
the greatest mistakes of the mode of
living in this country as generally
practiced has been the acting of meats
to far too great an extent. Our fail
ure to pay proper attention TO what
we eat and to how we eat has been a
main cause for shortening of our
lives. We usa much precaution to pre-
vent being killed by lightning, by au-
tomobiles or by street cars. We do
not use anyway near the preca1tion
which we should to prevent attacks by
germs. And germ diseases carry off
far more of our people than do acct
dents.
