HEAITH INSURANCE..

Nearly fifteen hundred anti-tuber-
culosis associations in almost every
part of the country will be asked to
participate in a campaign for health
insurance legislation that has been in
stituted by the American Association
of Labor Legislation, according to an
announcement that has just been
issued from the headquarters of The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis
Bills asking for health insurance
legislation will be introduced in more
than twenty states during the coming
fall and winter, and the support of
the anti-tuberculosis and other public
health organizations will be urged for
these bills.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
are rightly counting upon health in
surance as an aid in controlling the
spread of tuberculosis, because it will
provide machinery first of all to dis
cover the cases that cannot now be
found by ordinary methods in vogue,
and secondly, it will help to obtain
the much-needed medical care in hos
pitfalls and sanatoria that will check
the ravages of this disease.
But more than these the anti-tuber-
culosis workers are looking to health
insurance as an aid in promoting
periodic physical examinations in all
industries, which the National Society
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis believes would be one of
the greatest preventive measures that
can be introduced in this country.
At the present time, tuberculosis is
the greatest single cause of death, and
it is also the most difficult of all dis
| eases to detect
Under system of health insurance,
which would necessarily presuppose
regular examinations at periodic inter-
walls of all workers, both the employer
and the employe, as we'll as the state,
would be interested in seeing that this
developed too far.
The proposed bills provide for the
participation of the worker, the en-
ployer, and the state in the insurance
fund and also provide for the adap-
tation of the plan to already existing
benefit agencies under stare supervi-
sion.
The proposed health insurance laws
will cover every worker earning s1OC
a month or less.

WE SHOULD WoRRY-NoT.

If you are ever going to be large
enough to conquer your troubles you
must not worry over them" writes
Orison SWEET Marden in the Pictorial
Review for October. THAT is a sure
way to make them bigger. AS Bishop
Patrick quantity says, The rubbing
of the eyes doth not fetch out the
mote, but makes them mo, red and
angry; no more doth the distraction
and fretting of the nina discharge it
of any ill humors, but rather makes
them more bound to vex US
"A wise man has admirably defined
worry as spiritual near-si shtedness;
a fumbling way of looking at little
things, and of magnifying t-.eir value
True spiritual vision he says, sweeps
the universe and sets thin rs in their
right proportion. Seen in rs true re-
lations, there is no experience of life
over which one has a right to worry
During a great financial panic, an
influential Western business man was
so harassed by the troubles threaten
ing him that ne felt he could no longer

vent the work of years from going to

drop was the pariah of confect on and
the prune was byword and a hiss

of the elite set puy a two pound box
of gumdrops for his sweetheart A

Hearing Your Men at Work.

The manager of machine shop fac
tory can know how much work is
being done at benches by mechanics
or by power-driven machines or tools
by means of microphones or telephone
transmitters connected with the work
ing apparatus. BY becoming familiar
with the vibrations of the different
machines he can tell at any given mo-
ment just how fast Pat is working
the lathe, or how industriously Mike
is operating the milling machine on
one of his blue Mondays. In addition
to this he can tell at a simple turn of
the switch if the machines are run
ming at normal speed and smoothly
and properly, as they should.-Popu-

Sleep.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Sleep.
Blessings on him who first invented
sleep. 1t covers man all over.
thoughts and all, like cloak. 1t
is meat for the hungry, drink for the
thirsty, heat for the cold and cold
for the not. 1t makes the shepherd
equal to the monarch and the fool to
the wise "-Crevantes.
Is there, after all. any sensation in
the world more delicious than lying
down on a comfortable bed in just
the right state of WEAKNESS. with a
long uninterrupted night of sleep be-
fore one? -
An epicure signifies one who is a
connoisseur in the luxuries of the
table. L think we should have another
word for the connoisseUr in the luxur
les of sleep.
Sleep is a blessing under any condi-
tiol, It is a luxury, IN exquisite sensa-
ton, under the right ones.
To enjoy it to the full, you must
be tired, but not too tired. We all
know what it is to be SO weary that
it is impossible to get our aching
bones comfortably placed.
In the second place, one must be
physically and not merely mentally
weary.
To go to bed with a brain SO tired
that it cannot relax, and a body not
tired enough to drag the brain with it
into sleep, IS often to go to torture.
Just as hunger is the finest sauce
that any food can have, so physical
WEAKNESS sweetens sleep.
There is nothing 1 love better than
to spend day in the open air, to get
thoroly tired, and then to go to bed
just a little after the birds do, stretch
myself out, SAVIOR my WEAKNESS and
look forward to a long sweet night
of sleep. To get the full joy of it one
should wake up once or twice, turn
over and go to sleep again.
The most pitiable people in the
world to me are those who never have
a chance to get enough sleep-over-
driven workers, mothers with several
small children, people who must work
in the daytime and care for some in
valid member of the family at night.
The most terrible thing about the
stories of child labor is the thought
of little children being starved for
sleep. Sleep is the inalienable right of
childhood. He who denies it to them
has much to answer for.
There is a beautiful sentence in the
Bible which shows that God thinks
sleep one of His most precious gifts,
''He giveth His beloved sleep" How
that must touch those who are always
hungry for sleep,-(Copyrigh by
George Matthew Adams-)
