Dr.. Foss Gives Interesting

lecture In which he told about
sev~enty-fve young men the best
means of avoiding disease, DR.. Mar
tin /. Foss, physical director OF the
Bedford branch Of the Brooklyn Y.
M. C. A., spoke at the high school
last night under the auspices of the
local branch of the association.
He divided his subject into three
parts, dealing with how to keep
disease from US, how to keep our
selves from disease, and how by
proper car and development of the
tissues OF our body, we can make
ourselves immune to the ravages of
different maladies. He laid much
stress On sanitation in all things
eating, sleeping, drinking, etc. He
told how the germs of disease could
not penetrate cleanliness. but how
they form, as In an incubator, in filth
and u~ncleanly conditions.
The next lecture of the series of
health talks will be given by DR..

Comparative Cost
Truck and Team

1t has cost $420SO less to operate the
motor fire truck during the year end
mig April ], 1913 than it did to keep the
team at the south side station, accord
ing to comparative statement pre-
pared by Chief l. T. Kirby, of the fire
department. The saving comes close
to being 10 per cent of the cost Of the
truck.
1t cost $3.50 to maintain and oper'
ate the fire truck during the twelve
months. Tishty-five cents was the
amount spent by the city for repairs
on the truck. The rest OF the cost was
for gasolene and oil.
1t cost $500 to feed and maintain
the team of the south side fire station.
The items Of expense include. feeo'
shoeing, repairs of harness, ser
vices of veterinary, and other small
items The difference in favor OF the
truck is s42o.s0, but Chief Kirby does
not presume that the difference WIZ Al
ways be as large. as it Is expected
there will probably be STEADY IN !

truck as the machine grows older.
1t cost $37.77 month to maintain
the team a, the south side station. IL
cost $40 month to maintain the
truck at the central station. ne team
cost s424 for each fire; the truck COST
80 cents for each fire.
