A HEALTH DAY.

If Christmas, Thanksgiving, and 50

moral instruction and rest; if February
II and 2Z, May 30, and July be given
to patriotic utterances ard commemor-
ating great citizenship; and if the
first Monday in September be designa-

why not a Health Day why not a

such an important element in both hap
piness and efficiency as public health:

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

During a recent big strike, one of the
favorite comments of the bystanders was
criticism of the policy of the labor lead
ers. "They lash on the workmen," said
the critics; ''they talk to them about their
wrongs and work them all up until they
get unreasonable and hurt their own
cause
How much of that accusation is true, l
don't know I hope very little, for If there
could be any meaner act than to misguide
and mislead these poor folks in their
struggle for betterment and to exploit
them for personal gain, cannot conceive
of 1t. But this is not talk on strike or
labor leaders. What I want to bring
home to you is this-how often you and I
treat ourselves. as the labor leaders are
said to treat the wolzingmen.
Suppose that your good friend has said
something to you which seemed unjust,
and your friendly feeling for her has gone
on strike, what does your reason, the
leader, it were, of your whole being,
do? Does it tell the part of you which
feels aggrieved and resentful that per-
haps your friend did not mean that re-
mark in quite the sense you are inclined
to take it; that she had some good
grounds for speaking as she did; that you
have often criticised her as haTshly; that
probably she spoke hastily and is sorry
now, just you have often been: and
that she has shown forbearance towards
you a great many times?
Or, does your reason lash you on? Does
it remind you that your friend is very
ready to find fault with you lately? Does
1t suggest to you that since she has been
so intimate with those rich neighbors of
hers, she does not seem to care so mucl
about you? Does 1t 0istort her speech
into it's worst possible meaning? In short.
does it altogether encourage you in your
determination to "get back at her. In
some way or other?
If it does are you any better than the
labor leaders who lash on their followers
by magnifying their wrongs and ignoring
their rights?

Bromide and Sulphite theory says that
