Cost of tuberculosis and Other Pre-.
VentabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost of life insurance,
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
yersity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 year on his premiums II
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated Tuberculosis alone causes
loss to such a policy holder of from
$3.50 at twenty to $17.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty. with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
lcsis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation of life by
two years and 1853 days While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis says that the combined effort
of every man, woman and child is nee"
essary to bring about radical reduc"
tlo2 in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has Indicated.

Pretty Story of the Origin OF the
Pennsylvania City, Now In
dustriaI Center.

II was not uniting that Bethlehem
the center of missionary enterprise
and social service should have the
name of the birthplace OF the Christ.
But the name was given 1t under
doubly fitting auspices. In December.
1741, Count Zinzendorf, the friend and
protector of the Moravians in Saxony'
came to visit them. The original log
dwelling sheltered both the people
and the cattle. 1t was in this house
that they were sitting on Christmas
eve. Suddenly Count Zinzendorf
arose and led the way past the parti'
ton to the part where the cattle were
stabbed, and there around the managers
they sang Christmas songs. After that
they could think of no name quite SO
fitting as Bethlehem.
But in spite of church institutions
Bethlehem is no longer religious
community. It is industrial. With the
coming of Industry have come condi-
tions of which David Nitschmann'
founder of Bethlehem, never dreamed.
II wasn't an example of the old
brotherhood when. in 1902 five men
we're discharged because they had
signed petition to the management
~ the Bethlehem Steel corporation
asking for the elimination of sunday
work 1t wasn't an example OF broth
orbood when in 1919 another man was
discharged for avoiding Sunday work
and then three more because they
served on a committee that protested
against this mans discharge. -John A.

When making pies, before baking,
put two or three pieces of macaroni

allow the steam to escape without the
juice running over the top.
If porcelain baking dish becomes
discolored on the inside, fill it with
