 In 1882 he married Mrs. George R. Ives, of this place, who survives him ] together with a brother of Noroton, Conn, and an adopted son George, of Waterbury.

ILL-HEALTH TAKES BIG
SUM FROM WACEWORKERS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June A.
Three-quarters of a billion dollars, at
very conservative estimate, is the
annual money tax levied by ill-health
upon wage workers in the United
states in the form of lost wages ard
expenses of sickness. The greater
part of this gigantic tax falls upon
those workers who are least able to
afford it, since sickness has been
found to be much more prevalent am
ong low-pald workers than among
those whose incomes are sufficient TO
provide sanitary housing, adequate
food and favorable surroundings in
the home and in the place of work.
These conclusions are among
those given in a report on sickness
insurance to the federal commission
on Industrial relations which was
prepared in cooperation with the Unit
ed States public health service. The
report was prepared by Surgeon B.

with statement printed some time

1t is held that the statement gave

the prosecution is considered a result

and the Daily Mail have charged that
the British army in France was NOT

and that battles and men were lost

those made by Lord Fisher against
Winston Churchill led to the reor-
