States are seriously III at any one
time. or these 100000 are consump-
tives. and 10000 Of the latter die
every year. And consumption is
preyentable disease.
Every year 10000 persons are kill
Cd in industry, and 100000 are ser
iously injured.
In % years about 100000 persons in
this country we're killed and injured
merely because they were walking on
railroad tracks or "tlipping" on cars.
The S0,0OG000 wage-earners in this
country lose an average Of nine days
apiece every year, on account OF i'll
ness, the wages lost amounting TO
$5000,000.O00, the medical treatment
costing S1sp000,OO0 more.
It's q source Of real satisfaction
that the Federal Council OF the
Churches Of Christ in America-rep
re5enting 10000 different churches,
having 100000 membeIs-is about
to set up a campaign for the conser-
walton OF human life.
Experts tell us human life may be
extended 10 years by observing the
laws Of health and common sense.
4. as a result,of the efforts Of the
Federal Council, the average life in
this country Is extended only one
year, it VIII mean the equivalent Of
100000 complete lives saved in each
generation And this would be dis
tinctly worth while.
There's every reason why the
church should engage in such cam
paign Jesus spent much Of his time
healing the sick--why shouldn't his
followers do likewise? But it's a lot
better to prevent sickness than to
heal It!
A strong advisory committee has
been appointed by the Federal Coun-
ell to work out the details of this
campaign, among the members being

The Christmas clubs start this
week for next year. The idea which
was started here by the Bennington
County National bank has proved so
popular that the other national banks
have adopted it and all are prepared
to take care of Christmas clrb ac-
counts the coming year. The Christ
mas clubs are one OF the best things
that ever happened, not only to pro-
vide money for Christmas shopping,
but to teach people the habit of say
ing. Practically everybody can save
enough money from week to week to
keep up deposits in a Christmas club
and after they have followed IL for a
time they find it not only profitable
but pleasant and agreeable to be saw
ing a little money for a future rainy
day Every person in Bennington
ought 10 join Christmas club for
