eighteen. The important question.
however, is the health of the Ameri-
can employees. During the year 191
we had 10,4S9 American whites con-
nectec with the commission Their
death-rate from disease was 44S per
thousand. OF these 10.4S9 Amerl-
cans, 6,025 were men and 4,464 wom-
en- and children. The death-ratc from
disease among the men was 2S2 per
thousand. That among the women
and children from the same cause was
6.72 per thousand These facts are
taken from recent address, at Johns
Hopkins University by Col. VIM.
Gorgas, Chief Sanitary officer of the
Isthmian Canal Commission. His adj
dress appears IN recent issue of The
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. Speaking of the condition
of the Americans now in the Canal
Zone, Col. Gorgas says: 81 think a
still better way of satisfying onesell
with regard to health conditions is
direct observation of the American
employees. They as q class are
rugged and healthy-looking, of gooc
color, and energetic and active in
movement They look more like the
farmer and his family of the north
west than like people who have lived
in the tropics for four or Ave years.

WoRK1NGMEN,s COTTAGES.

On several occasions when a plan
for the building of workingmen S
homes is suggested some one hobs up
with the objection that lot of box
like houses are a bad thing for the
city and that the building of them
ought not to be permitted.
Such an argument indicates lack
of knowledge of the economic features
of the problem. 1t is the practical
versus the visionary view of the stu
alton.
Socialists argue that every family
ought to be provided with ten room
house set on 100 feet of ground and
fitted up with all OF the modern con-
yeniences. That would be nice but
it is impossible, of course, except by
hundreds or thousands of years OF
evolution.
What we want to do is to improve
present conditions Those who advo-
cate the workingmen's cottage look al
the problem this way:
l. It is better for every citizen te
own home, however. humble it may
| be, than to rent. The home owner
! is the best citizen.
2. Some of us can't afford thu
kind of residences they have in Glen
dale park.
| 3. Most of us would rather own
four room cottage than to rent a ST,
room house.

There is lesson to be learned from
the disasters by tornado and flood and
fire that have devastated portion of
the land.
Any city can be wiped out for lack
of a telephone or telegraph wire, but
how about the wireless?

cane, blizzard or great storm is NO

With our climate why should not

Standard company house or in little

Now therefore il Hammond is to
escape the tenement evil, an evil that
threatens the vitality of the race; if
the blessings of sunshine, fresh air
and sanitation are to be the right of
Everybody, why not encourage the
building of the two and four room
cottage?
Naturally these sort of homes will
be built only where land is the cheap
est. Hence no one need fear the in
vasion of them in the high grade

And besides they can be barred alb
solutely from any subdivision where
the property is fully restricted. And
that is proper The man who pays
for broad lawns and expensive home
sites is entitled TO them.
But he is not entitled to say that
one section of the city, close to good
transportation facilities, should not BE-
devoted to the uses of workingmer
whose consuming ambition is to owr
a home, no matter how humble it may
Ibe.
The agitation against the working

CONCERNING WORRIES.

The worries OF today are the jokes
of tomorrow. Look over your past
life What are the incidents that you
find funny now? Every one of them
was a worry at the time it happened.
You laugh as you look back at past
worries Well. why not laugh at the
worries of today and tomorrow as
we'll says the American Magazine.
Worry doesn't get you anything or
anywhere. There's no use worrying
about things that are past. Whatever
has happened is right or it would not

universe is run in harmony. Don I
be conceited enough to suppose that
anything you have done is out of har-
mony with the universe. IL it was
the whole world would soon get out

There's no use worrying, either,
about what's going to happen No
body knows that. Remember, too,
the worst never happens. And why
worry now? You either can help or
can't help what you are worrying
about If you can help 1t. go ahead
and do it, and stop worrying If you
can't help it. what good does worry
ing do?
But" you say, Il can't help
worrying" How absurd. OF course
you can. Try this plan: Sit down
calmly and ask yourself what is the
very worst result that can come from
your present trouble. Look it in the
face boldly. Square your shoulders
and say to yourself: Well. If that's
all | can face that Lots of worse

other people, and they have survived

Most worries are over mere trifles
Probably George Washingtons wife
used to worry when he got home late
for dinner. but what difference doe
it make to either of them now?
Get a worry book. Put down in i

Look at it a week from today. How
