THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1918

The Offices most sought after in
the new national administration
are under the Post Office Depart
ment. Something like two thous-
and nominations of postmasters
had not been acted upon by the
Senate at the expiration of the
Taft administration, including re-
nominations, and to fill vacancies
by designations and deaths. Post
masters General Burleson, it is
said, has sent to the President
sabout q thousand names of post
master he has recommended for
appointment, and he advises cal
lers who throng his Office every
day that it is no fault of his that
the places are not filed promptly,
as was expected.

with all their souls that meat is a
necessity, but it is really surpris-
ing how well strong, healthy
person can exist and work hard
with no meat at all, or with very
little, taken at only one meal day
and that the dinner or heaviest
meal. Most of us eat too much
meat, IA good deal more than we
need.
When meat is fried, it retains a
large proportion of the. fat in the
form of grease. 1t is not whole
some. In large quantities it i'm
poses a heavy burden on the di-
gestive organs. Florida people
as a rule, eat too much fat with
their food. They would be bet
ter without it.
Better cooking would save a
good deal of suffering and proba-
bly, good many lives. 1t would
make many men more efficient,
more productive laborers, whether
they work with their brains or
their muscles. Cooking is an art
but it is too often made a ,drudg-.
cry.
In warm weather dress light.
Don't wear heavy clothing, Don't
follow the dictates of fashion
when they prescribe garments I'M
suited to the climate and the pre-
vailing temperatures. Heat has
killed more than cold.
Don't hurry. Start u little
sooner and you won't have to run.
Be moderate in every way and
living won't be so burdensome as
and carelessnesses make it.

Personal Hygiene

The State Board Of Health, al
ways solicitous for health condi
tions in Florida, is giving som
good advice for summer use.
The dangers of the warm season
affect-the digestive system and thu
alimentary canal more generally
than the respitory or the circula
tory systems, although pneumonia
not an infrequent summer disease
For this reason everybody shoult
be especially careful with regart
to the diet, both as to eating ant
drinking.
The first and fundamental rule
is, be clean, keep clean, inside and
outside. A bath every day is a
necessity just as much as the daily
breakfast. An all-over bath in
the morning and a sponge bath at
night are none too much. The
increase of the visible preparation
leaves unpleasant excretions on
the skin, which become unhealth-
full if not removed frequently and
thoroughly. Massage the skin;
keep it lively and glowing.
The average person should drink
more in the summer than in the
winter, to supplement natures
efforts to wash the body through
the pores of the skin. What
should be the summer drink?
Water, ice water if you want it,
and don't drink it to excess.
Most of the soda fountain bever-
ages are palatable and harmless,
but with the average person any
drink that contains u flavor of
sweetening is thirst-producer
rather than quencher, so after
all, water, just plain, clean, cold
water is about the best of all sum-
mer drinks.
The great and only danger from
ice water is its excessive use. TO
persons who are overheated or
who work in high temperatures,
ice water is seriously dangerous.
1t produces congestion, better
known as cramps in the stomach.
Acting on the nervous system, it
has tendency to bring about pa
ralysis. Men working before the
furnaces in rolling mills or as
stokers in the holds of steamships,
soon learn the danger of ice water,
although some lose their lives in
learning.
Excuses of all kinds should be
avoided. 1t gees therefore with
out saying that over.indulgence
in alcoholic drinks should be shun-
ned in summer or winter. This is
not advised from the temperance
viewpoint, but from that of the
best physical welfare.
Don't drink malt beverages to
excess. In moderation they may
not be harmful; they may be bene-
fetal under certain conditions and
for certain individuals.
Be careful in eating. Don't
gormandize. Too much is worse
than none at all, especially in sum-
mer. Eat ripe fruit, but be sure
it is not over-ripe. Eat veg
atables we'll cooked. Remember
that meat diet is heating. 1t is
like the fuel under the boiler that
keeps steam up for working. But
here are other kinds of fuel.
Meat is especially harmful when
{ is cooked with a large amount

MODERN INDUSTRY AND DEATH
Statistics Show That the Two Are
Closely Allied, In Spite Of A.
vance Of Science,

Some time ago statistics were made
industry is making men old at forty.
Now, France goes the United States
one better. In that country statistics
show old age Is totally denied to a
great portion of the population.
DR.. Jacques BertilloE of the Paris
municipal statistical department has
just made public figures which show
the terrific effects that industry, with
Its diseases and accidents, exercises
over a large part of the working
people Of France. The number of
workingmen who live to "a good old
age" in that country is growing fewer
year by year. Industrial diseases
break most toilers in their prime.
These wholesale sacrifices can no
longer be excused on the ground that
they are the inevitable risks of in
dustry. A generation or two ago
death and disease might still have
been claimed AZ intrinsic accessories
to industrial progress. But not today.
Science has shown the way to combat
many Industrial diseases and insure
reasonable safety even in dangerous
occupations. A host of technical safe
guards have been put out to prevent
killing and manning by machinery.
What is needed to deprive the shop,
the factory and mine of its DEATH
dealing attributes is a closer union be-
tween science and government, be-
tween laboratory and legislative hall.
