COST OF SICKNESS.
94Go,o0o.oOO Is Lost Annually By
American WAGE Farmers.

notwithstanding the great advances
mace in preventive medicine and sani-
tarN science it is likely that most peo-
pie still regard sickness as a visitation
OF providence and something to be en-
durcd rather than to be cured. In
formed persons. of course, know that
typh"id and other diseases can be pre-
vented by sanitation, and effective
work is being don" in this way against
the Great White Plague itself, but few
are aware Of the tremendous money
loss annually through preventable dis
ease.
ne lhdefatiGable Germans have the
proplen reduced statistically to frac-
,'oiis OF lives and to ''pfennings, and
nesihhlhG has been made in America in
.'e work of collecting information to
ihuitate the exact extent and character
VI the problem to be dealt with.
hypothesis warranted by European ex
periehce is that in an Industrial popu-

Humane Officer Willis Thursday
seized an old, decrepit horse in the
possession of Arthur Leavitt of this
city and Friday hearing was held
before Judge Atkins. 1t was proven
that the animal was in poor condi
ton and that it would be more merci-
full to kill it than to let ii live, and the
order to Kill il was given by the court.
The first of the week Humane Officer
Blaisdell called at the farm of J. NJ.
Gilman in Chelsea. where the horse
was kept, and told Mr.. Gilman, the
owner, to keep the animal for two
weeks and give it proper care. Soon
after it was learned that Leavitt had
the horse and the officers took il.

Woman's Club of Bradenburg. The
members Of that live organization felt
the need of a good road from Branden-
burg to Weldon, a station on the
Louisville, Henderson & st. Louis rail-
road. Brandenburg has no railroad
and when the citizens Of that own go
travelling they either take "A steamboat
or drive over to Weldon to take the
train.
Meade county mud possibly is few
degrees worse than the mud any where
else in Kentucky. The male citizens of
Meade have been handling the road
question in the same way that many
other Kentucky counties have been
handling it. Mud multiplied by mud
produces more mud, but the male citi-
Zens of Meade didn't seem to know it,
The women woke up to the situation
first and they determined to pike"
the road from Brandcnburg to Weldon.
Ihey raised more than $1,000 by private
subscription and they asked the fiscal
court to do the rest. The court came
across with an appropriation of $4,000
as an evidence of good faith. The road
Will be completed by the early sum-
mer. Next winter it will be possible
TO travel from Brardenburg to Weldon
without breaking a hamcstring or
stralning singletree. A wagon will
not be load for four horse team,

each 100 persons employed. OF these
30 cases five will result from accidents.
Reduced to other terms, this means
approximately 1000 days per annum
of disability or l0 DAYS per employee.
The city OF Lejpsig has for many years
collected disability statistics. and
these show further that the number of
days Of sickness per employee in
creases with age. For ages under 10
the average disability is about six
days, and this increases to 9.5 per days
at ages &5-39, II days at ages 6064
and 40 days at ages over 70.
a conservative estimate of the wage
earners in America in 1910. Il years Of
age and over OF both sexes, is $1,000
600, and of this number at least 40 per
cent. may be assumed to experience
during the year some disability from
sickness or accident which will pre-
vent the unfortunat" from working.
This means that during each year
there will be 13,t00. 900 cases of dis
abili,., The German statistics show
an average period of disability Of S.5
days and in view Of the poorer sani-
tary conditions in this country it is
perfectly safe to assume that average
in America. This would give us, on
the basis of 134o0,Q00 disabled, ap-
proximatcly 2Si.73o,o0 days lost an
nually by American wage carriers.
Estimating the average wage at $1.5o
per day. we have d direct loss in
wages of approximately $i2S,0Q0,o00
annually.
Another loss to be taken into con-
sideration is what the sick oncs must
pay for medicine and a physicians at
tendance and this could hardly be less
than 81 per day. This means over
$2S4,000,00o annually. Still another
loss, based on the assumption that
sickness will reduce the value of out
put at least 80 cents per day. is over
$142,O00.000 annually. Adding the
three losses together we have an am
nual drain on industry from sickness
of over ss00O00,0
If the humanitarian aspect of the
question does not command the CO.
operation of all enlightened people in
reducing the amount of preyentablc
sickness, certainly the economic loss
should be prcssive.-Louisville
