ITO get the best possible results a factory
should secure and hold the confidence of the
employees, and where the workers are trained

Much has been done to develop the model
shop at the great money factory. In the first
place, it was considered necessary to pay great
deal of attention to the workers themselves. The
Office of the medical inspector of the bureau is
a small hospital. 1t consists of room for the
physician in charge, an operating room and
separate wards for the men and women workers.
The lined with white tile and all of
the plumbing Is of the most upto-date type
1t is the duty of the physician in charge to
supervise the sanitary conditions Of the estab-

he were developing tuberculosis examination
is made If it is found that the disease actually
exists the facts set forth and the proper
concentrations made. The government has in
New Mexico hospital for the care of men of the
navy who develop tuberculosis. and the bureau
of engraving and printing is attempting to get
appropriation through congress that will provide
for the enlargement of this hospital and for the
admission into it of persons contracting tubercu
losis while working in the various government
departments.
