The Value of Health

Knoxville Journal and Tribune,
It is priceless. The millionaire
cannot enjoy his riches in the alb
sence of health. His millions do
not add any years to his life,
health will, How many are there
who would willingly, were such a
thing possible, exchange a sgoodly
share of their possessions for the
power of digestion and assimilation
Possessed by the man, ''in holden
gray" who yields the hammer or
the pick, or the tiller of the soil
who does the drudgery of the farm?
And yet how little attention is
paid by the creature who is above
the animal and little below the
angels to the health of his physical
body. But it is hoped. it is be-
lieved that mankind is beginning
to wake up to the priceless value
of human health. Millions of dol
lars have been expended in our
own count y to arrest disease
among the hogs and the cattle, and
to that of fowls, that from a lead
ing part in the article of human
food. That is right, there can be
NO life without food.
But is it not vital to spend some
millions for the preservation of the
humans for whom food is a neces-
sity? 1t is estimated that the loss
sustained by wage-earners in this
country amounts to as much as
$3.50. 200, 900 annually from pre-
yentable disease.

nights ago when car driven by R. G

siderably bruised. DR.. Collins, of this
city attended to their injuries. It is
almost miracle that the accident was
not more serious as the car is said to
