LETTING DISEASE GET A START.
Pittsburgh Press. }

1IbSS.l
The life insurance companies are
finding that they can save a good
deal of money for themselves
which means for their policy hold
ers-by giving policy holders free
and annual medical examinations.
The reason is simple and clear.
There are many diseases which are
obscure in origin and which may
exist for years before the victim
feels such distress as TO undergo eX-
animation by his family physician
and discover the malady. If once
eN cry II months he had been in
the habit of being thoroughly eX-
amined by a skilled physician the
chances are that the disease would
have been detected soon enough to
permit a cure or at least prOlong
life many years.
This all being true-and no we'll
informed person denies 1.-THE ques-
ton rises. why should not every
body undergo medical examination
at stated periods. whether he is an
insurance policy holder or not? If
he is not insured, he will probably
have 20 pay for his examination,
but ii will be well worth the cost,
for. as we have already seen, it is
insurance itself.
There are scores of diseases which
would be robbed OF most OF their
terror if We prevented them from
getting a start" As one of the
best known medical writer's in the
country says. very large proper
ton of the people with consumption
do not know that they have the
disease until their chance of get
ting we'll has been lost. Whenever a
complete examination of a large
group of men has been made it has
always been found that several suf-
fering from consumption were not
aware of the disease.
The same writer emphasizes the
danger of trusting 10 symptoms TO
warn US. As he remarks: People
judge of disease by symptoms and
OF health by lack of symptoms OF
disease. Disease talks by symptoms
and that is the only means il has
of communicating with the man
whose mind is engaged with his
business or the woman who is busy
with her home. AS a matter OF
, fact, symptoms is a very faulty
method of judging OF disease or
health. Some people have a great
deal of disease and no symptoms
And others have a great many symp-
toms and no disease"
Physical examination by one :
| family doctor once a year even
though there are no symptoms is
a rule OF prudence for adults. and
a great .conserver of health.

deep disappointment that there wasn't to be found

The incident marks the close of epoch in Amer

KINDNESS NEVER FAILS.
Cincinnati Post.)

Men have always tried TO discover
new ideas, better morals. higher
principles.
In the Spartan days they looked
for health-in the period of the
Greeks they sought culture-in the
time of Alexander the Great men
believed in wars.
Each system resulted in failure
they failed because with their brut-
ishness. their physical hobby. their
aristocratic notions, they overlooked
one part of the teachings of Con-
fucius, Moses, Christ. and Moham-
med-they missed that which never
fails-kindness
Kindness is like wheat-it in
creases when cultivated-the more
YOU SOW the more you will reap. if
you cultivate.
