WASTE INVOLVED IN ILLNESS
Serious Matter to Which Far Too Lit
tie Attention Has Been Given
by the Country.

A spectacular event often attracts
public attention, while routine matters
of larger magnitude go unoticed. For
instance, the whole country was re-
Gently acutely conscious of question
of wages amounting to $5O,OO0,OOO. 1t
was an important question and the
sum involved was vast.
But take another question involving
wages-the question Of the illness of
workers. Public health bulletin No.
76 of the public health service of the
United States estimates on the basis
of inquiries here and abroad that the
average industrial worker loses about
nine days year on account of illness.
This amounts to a loss to the work
ers of the country, it is estimated, of
$S00,OOO,O00 year. If by better SAN
itation and safety devices the time
could be reduced One-half, there would
be saving of $4O0,OOO,OOO. Yet it is
exceedingly difficult for health author
tiles to arouse interest in the question,
simply because it concerns everyday
matters that lack the excitement of
a threatened tieup Of TRANSPORTATION.

CLUB SHOULD BE SATISFIED
Organization That PersistentIy Fought
for Shorter Skirts Might as
Well Disband.

Twenty years ago an organization
Of women in New York began fight
to influence women to wear shorter
skirts. The organization was known
as the Rainy Day club, and branches
Of it were formed throughout the coun-
try. Mrs. A. NJ. Palmer, who has
since its birth, has just announced that
the fight has been won with a ven
geance, and that the organization may
as well disband, unless 1t should de-
eide to reverse its bylaws and begin
u crusade for longer garments.
When the Rainy Day club was or
ganized, the style for women was to
wear long trailing skirts that did a
portion of the work now paid for by
the STRENGTHENING department. Cru
saders for shorter skirts produced vol
umes of testimony from physicians
that the long, dragging, heavy skirts
were wrecking the health of women,
carrying disease germs and causing
many kinds of grief. The rainy dais-
les, as they were then called, pleaded
for skirts at least four inches from
the ground. The fight was stubborn.
For some time Fashion would not yield
an inch. Then the bicycle fad came
along and helped little. Finally the
shortening process gained Roadway
and even a casual glance skirtward
today finds proof that the battle has
been won, and the time has come to
call a halt. 1t is high time that the
Rainy Day clubs disband.-Minneapo.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago a

persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than a weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't

sickly looking just like plant trying

you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:

you can walk without becoming tired.
