plause when some point In his speech
stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy of President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration Of
the day. Following Governor Glynn's
speech, committees on credentials, per-
| manent organization, rules, and resolu-
lions were announced, and that days
work was done.

to order. Permanent Chairman Ollie
James was escorted to the chair and
introduced. He Immediately launched

ularly in regard to the controversy

EIGHT-HoUR DAY FOR COOKS,
Whether or not the men and Won-
en- who work in kitchens are ready
to demand an S-hoQr day depends on
their economic organizations and the
political power developing therefrom.
Every reasonable person viii agree
that 8 hours in front of hot stove
is a days work in this day and age.
Working longer than s Hours in a
basement is murder and should be
legislated to be punishable by i'm
prisonment in the peniteltiRFy by
hard labor.
This whole subject is in reality
health measure, and should come
under the supervision Of the national
department of public health, but we
have not educated our big politicians
this far, and must therefore organize
p to do so.
We claim that it is just as ueces-
sary to protect the health OF a cook
as it Is of a nurse, or railroad en-.
gineer, or any other. person, and for
this reason we appeal to our law
makers to give US recognition.
These facts have. been recognized
by the commission on Industrial rela-
lions in its report to congress, They
say: THE physical well-being,
mental development and reereational
needs of every class Of population de-
maRd that under nominal ciFcum-
stances the working day should not
exceed 8 hours" (Final report, page
94).
The railroad workers organiEa-
tons have recognized the value Of an
.8-hour day, and they have been and
are now ready to go to war with
everybody, employers, politicians and
the people, in order to show them
that they. are in earnest about this
important demand, and because of
their powerful organizations con-
gfess has passed the sO-cailed Adam

trains is q question which may be

The building trades, the printers
and miners have practically estab=
ished the s-hour day by their union
power, but that does not necessarily
mean that there isn't any other
means applicable, The first and
main duty is to organize and then
agitate and educate until the ma

HEALTH MEANS DOLLARS.
eY H. ADoiNoToN BRUCE
Parenthood

We may not make the mistake OF
poisoning ourselves with rum. But
too many OF us do make the mistake
OF poisoning ourselves with over.
rich and over-abundant food.
We keep the toxin OF alcohol from
our brain. But we are not careful
TO keep from II the toxins produced
by excessive eating.
We let these course through our
blood TO reach and weaken the deli.
cate cells OF our thinking apparatus
We avoid the germ infections 10
which all expose themselves who
indulge in loose sexual relations.
Yet often We needlessly work amid
dust and dirt laden with equally
deadly infection.
We would shudder at the thought
Of spending a night in the sitting
atmosphere OF a gambling hell But
week in and week out We cheerfully
work and sleep in quarters that are
little better ventilated.
Then. again. many or US err
through forgetting. or never know
ing. that thinking ability Is condi.
toned by the quality OF the blood's
circulation. and that this in turn is
largely conditioned by bodily ex.
ercise.
We live in street car, ONCE chair.
and bed, letting our muscles grow
fabby. our circulation slow.
And after time we find our.
selves wondering why our power to
plan. 70 reason. to remember. to
execute. is not az good az II used
TO be.
These are only a few OF the com
monest errors in personal living
habits
They are errors that impair our
health. they are errors that dimin-
ish our efficiency. they are errors
that keep us OF make us poor In
purse.
Learn 10 avoid them. Tomorrow,
the first thing, buy yourself a hand
book on personal hygiene. II will
not cost much and II sure 10 prove
a splendid investment.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1916-06-08

There are many reasons why all
OF us should study the ways OF
healthy living. Not the least i'm.
portant reason is found in the rela-
ton that exists between health and
the gaining Of our livelihood.
II might be supposed :hAt every
body would recognize this and would
learn 10 live well But actually only
a small percentage OF people pay
due attention 10 the laws OF per
sonal hygiene.
Some people, to be sure, give too
much thought 10 the question OF
health. They are forever fussing
about their health, and live in per
petual and irrational dread OF dis
ease. Indeed, they may actually
make themselves i'll by their NOR
bid fear OF illness.
So much do they think about their
we'll being that they have little time
TO think OF their work. Necessar-
ily. even IL they are so lucky as to
escape a nervous breakdown, they
work ineficiently and thereby keep
their income below what II ought
20 be.
But most people are not unduly
concerned as 10 their health Where
most people err Is in thinking that
they can work at a high efficiency
rate without taking proper care OF
themselves.
And 70 take proper care OF ones
self involves much more than the
mere avoidance OF reckless dissipa-
ton in the way Of drinking. sexual
excuses. etc. This II IL that most
OF US overlook.
We may be total abstainers from
alcohol. We may lead morally clean
lives. Nevertheless. in unsuspected
ways We lessen our earning capacity
by violating the laws Of right living.
One great fault Is 10 forget, or
remain in ignorance OF. the funda.
mental truth that everything which
has a bad effect on our internal
physical processes has likewise a
bad effect on our power TO think

There IS nothing in the charter

WHATEVER LIyEs-Nusr DIE


We know by the flowers that withsr
BY the grasses hleached and stale,
BY a legion leaves down dropping
And summer growing pale.
Whatever men may tell us,
Whether they sing or siEh,
As truly "a time IL nesting
Whatever lives-must die
BY the sprinEtime faded Rarlands.
And the autumn's yellow leaves,
By the lily's bleaching banners.
And tho dry and rustlinR sheaves,
BY the shadows longer growing
And the falling light ON high.
We school ourselves 10 the lesson.
Whatever ltves-must die.
On the virgin brow % childhood.
And the wrinkled cheek Of age
We trace the self-same meaning.
Plainly as printed page;
However long We labor.
However we toll and try.
We see that death la the sequel

In the red hearts ~ the roses.
In tho lily's tent Of white
The legend 10 clearer written
Than mortal pen could write;
And evernore from nature
Goes up constant cry,
An INFINITE admonition--
Whatever llves--must die
with higher than human purpose.
God wrought his perfect plan,
And ordered hts calculations
Nv rules unknown 10 man.
And though our fate shall ind us
With smile or with sigh.
still the Pdict does not alter
Whatever lives--must die,
But. still. while loss Is bitter.
And toll and trouble strains,
To cheer our falntinE spirits
one golden truth remains.
