quire three things primarily, nourish-
ing foods, liquids, particularly water

ton. What you eat will determine to
a large extent your ability to resist
attacks of tuberculosis and other dis
eases.
8. Rest is as necessary to health
as is food or air. Some people re-
quire more rest than others; but every
working man or woman should try to
get at least hours of rest every night
or day in bed. Besides this, every-
one should find opportunity to rest
and relax while at work or between
periods of work One may relax
without stopping work, simply by
changing or shifting ones position
or task. If you work hard with your
hands during the day, a certain
amount Of mental work at night may
be a recreation. 1t is monotony of
work, doing the same thing over and
over, day in and day out in the same
way that kills. Anyone can break
monotony If he tries.
4 This leads us to suggest recrea-
ton or play or exercise as a part
of your daily life. Don't play so that
you become all tired out, for then
the play is dangerous. Everyone needs
some play, but not too much. You
can't work all day and dance and
carouse all night and keep your
health. Sooner or later the strong
est constitution will break and the re-
sistanee to disease will become SO low
that the onset OF tuberculosis or other
! diseaes cannot be avoided.
S. A hundred more rules and sug-
vestions might be given, but enough
has been said to show that the safe
guarding of your health against ta-
bercuiosis depends to large extent
upon you. If you live clean, regu-
liar life, your chances of escaping tsi-
berculosis are far better than those OF
the man who burns the candle of his
life at both ends and who pays no.
attention to his greatest wealth, his
own health.

parties to the conference agreed that

operators insisted that the average
weekly wage should be determined
by the following process:

FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE
Special Article Dealing With Best Methods Of
Preventing tuberculosis

Worktngmen are, always aroused
when an employer or a group of en-
ployers suggest reduction in wages.
How many of them who read this
article ever stop to think of the enor-
nous srms OF money they are losing
in wages every year due to one pre-
ventable disease, tuberculosis.
A careful study of 500 Boston men
who had consumption, and most of
whom died with it, has revealed the
fact that these men alone lost over
$425,O00 in wages as result of this
disease. The investigators in this study
were not guessing; they actually look
ed up the wages that the various men
had been getting when they were sick
the length of time they were sick,
and thus the amount OF money they
lost could be easily figured up. Each
of these men lost on an average in
hard cash nearly 81 900 in wages alone
to say nothing of the enormous loss
to his family and the community suf-
fering that this disease caused. 1t
was found that out of the 500 men,
495 had to give up their work because
of tuberculosis, and that the average
number of weeks of complete disabil-
ity when they could do nothing, rang
ed from So to 80, depending on
whether the men were living or dead
at the time of investigation. The
average rate of wages was about
Sll.50 and the total loss amounted to
$42603o.
most conservative estimate would
place the number of deaths OF work.
| ingmen from tuberculosis last year at
$4,000. If, on an average, every one
of them lost $1,000 in wages, the total
wage loss would amount to $50,OOO,-
600 in one year. The actual loss is
probably considerable larger than the
sum number of writer's placing it
as high as Sl50,000,O00 1t will be
plain, however, to every workingman
from these figures that an attack OF
tuberculosis means a serious loss in
money, happiness, and health. How
can this disease be warded on! Just
few suggestions may save you mon
