On How to Be Healthy

The being called man is an cpl
tome Of all creation, for his organ
ism contains all the elements Of uni
vresal nature: and his continuing in
health or his becoming afflicted with
disease is dependent upon the MAIN
tanning or not maintaining of the
equilibrium Of the functions of the
entire body, =
The later months of autumn and
the earlier months of spring, are the
two periods of the year when the hui
man body requires more nerve en-
ergy for the performance Of bodily
function than any other time of the
year. This is the reason why so many
people become i'll in those seasons.
The development and conservation
Of nerve energy is the great secret
Of health. People who overdraw on
their storehouse of nerve energy will
find thmselves in line for most any
ailment that IL going around.
Live within your means-means to
live within the capacity Of the oper-
ating power of your body. If this
rule is lived up to and into, you will
go through any epidemic with i'm
punity, but living close to It does not
mean anything: some may live close
to heaven and never get there; they
may live close to the other place
and just miss it.
The power that operates the hu-
man machine. called man, is gener-
ated in the brain and transmitted
over the spinal cord and spinal
nerves to every part of the. body.
Any interference with the transmits
sion of this power to any part or
organ Of the body will result in a
disturbance Of the functions of the
entire human organism.
That pressure, upon nerve inter-
fcres with It's conductivity, and that
this interference prevents the part,
or organ, to which this nerve is a.
conveyor of vital energy from per-
forming its functional duties, are
facts verified in every hospital in the
lind.
Surprising, that the stomach, for
the normal performance Of it's func-
ton, which is to digest food, requires
100 per cent OF nerve energy, and
that there is pressure on the nerves
that supply the stomach equal to
:,utting off 10 PEI. cent of its nerve
current. The stomach is at once
Handicapped, operating with only 60
per cent. What would you expect
1:om such stomach when its pos
SCISSOR would eat a meal that requir-
ed IS per cent Of nerve energy to

would it not?s What in SUCH a case
would be the most reasonable thing
to- do? There are two things being

THE GOOD OLD YEAR

Said the year that was old:
Il am cold. I am cold,
And my breath hurries fast
On the wild winter BLAST -
OF this thankless December.
All, who will remember.
As shivertng co..
The warmth and the glow =
That rose like a fame
When I came, when I came?
For I brought in my hands
From utopian lands
Golden gifts and the schemes
All, never q king
OF a twelvemonth will bring
Such splendor Of treasure
Without stint or measure
AS brought on that day,
Triumphant and gay!
But alas, and alas.
Who will think as pass
I was once CAV and bOldf"
Said the year that was old.
Said the year that was young,
And his light laughter rung:
"Come. bid me good cheer,
For I bring with me here
Such gifts as the earth
Never saw till my birth.
All the largess Of life. $3.50.
With the plans and the schemes
or the worlds highest dreams.
Then hopes chalice filled UP
To the brim. Of the cup.

SOME ERRORS DIE HARD.

The Seattle Union Record is authority the state
men that the Pacific Mail fleet has been chartered by
Grace Co. of Seattle and San Francisco and will be
continued in service the Pacific under the American
flag.
The Labor World readers will remember that divers
and sundry threats made to the effect that the
fleet would be sold to foreign capital would leave
the Pacific account of the terrible provisions of the
Seamen's law.
This paper has frequently admonished it's readers
to beware of these false prophets of impending ruin
destruction who have been attempting to induce Con-
gress to repeal the Seamen's law because forsoth
obliges them to treat sailors human beings and not
slaves.
The seamen's act is like unto another emancipation
proclamation. Lincoln signed the proclamation that,
freed the black slave. But the Sxy-third Congress
passed the seamen's which, without the she'd
ding OF blood, will set free thousands of hereto
fore deprived of the ordinary rights of human beings
That the Pacific Mail fleet will continue in service
under the American flag and will affected by the
seamen's law the kept prophets had been telling u.s.

going to make another prediction namely that time will
prove the worth of the that its enemies

A RETROSPECT AND A FOREWORD.


The year 1915 is passed. 1t numbered with the days
that were It is attached to the years that have
before It, and henceforth will be but measure OF
time in the worlds history.
It not bad year men in business characterize
such periods time when discussing the state and

auspices had recovered from the first shock
occasioned by the outbreak of hosites the other
side of the world Everything had been upset; dark
clouds hung country and for spell 1t looked

that has covered Europe with blood. But thanks to

craftsmanship still at peace with all the world.
The Labor World with other business enterprises in
Duluth enjoyed it's of during the year,
the latter part of which most encouraging. We
realize that labor paper is ever conducted under

and editorials is such to frequently drive bust

life nowadays is the tendency the part of large
advertisers to attempt to influence the editorial policies
Of newspapers There is well known axiom frequently
quoted by newspaper men to young reporters "Never
print anything that will drive penny away from the
cash drawer of the business Office And there
number Of daily and weekly newspapers that make this
business and editorial principle.
While The Labor World is losing considerable ad-
vertsing patronage because of it's fearless editorial policy
it is being douby repaid by the loyalty Of its friends
The workingmen of northern Minnesota believe in
Labor World and they supporting it with their
subscriptions. The lawyers of Duluth, at least the
lawyers who fee generously sending their legal
notices for publication in this paper and without them

the close Of this 1915 It their support and

to be published and it is the that they will
remain loyal to that gives and hope for
