TRADE DISEASES
TOBE COMBATTED
Department of Labor Takes to
Printing Ink as a Means
of Fighting Them

The State Department of Labor and
Industry has turned to printers ink in
its effort to arouse people to the dan
ger of occupational or industrial dis
eases and to enlist their aid in its
campaign for their elimination.
The department has issued a num-
Der of small pamphlets, each one deal
ing with some form of disease in an
industry which has been investigated
by the experts in the division of indus
trial hygiene and engineering. They
call attention to everyday dangers in
various trades, printing being among
the number.
This series of small pamphlets is en-
titled Timely Hints" The first folder
of the series, for employers and en-
ployes, points out to the employer the
economic value of safety in the factory
and to the employe the danger of dust,
impure air and personal carelessness.

United States Ranks First
Among Nations of World

Washington, Jan. G. - How the
United States through the accident of
a world war has moved from it's place
as e commercially provincial and sec
ondary power to the rank of first i'm
portance among the great nations of
the world-economically industrially
and financially-is told in detail in the
first annual report of DR.. Edward E.
Pratt. chief of the Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce Bureau of the De-
partment of Commerce.
What the country has gained tenn
porarily through the fortunes of the
European conflict, says the report, it
can hope to hold in the commercial
struggle that will be resumed at the
conclusion of peace only by the most
far-sighted commercial preparedness.
Two grave problems face development
and maintenance of foreign trade. The
first is declared to be that of finance
and the second that of training men
for the work.

Your Appliance did all you claim

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance

l. 1t is absolutely the only Appll-
ance of the kind on the market to-day.
and in it are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
9. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of posi-
tion.
8. Being an air cushion of soft rub
ber II clings closely to the body, yet
never blsters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads used in other trusses. 1T is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
3. 1t is small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
6. The soft. pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the un-
pleasant sensation of wearing a har-
ness
I. There is nothing about it to get
foul, and when it becomes soiled it
can be washed without injuring it in
the least.
s. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
., All of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very
best that money can buy. making it Il
durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly estab-
lished by an experience of over thirty
years of dealing with the public, and
my prices are so reasonable, my terms
so fair. that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in sending free coupon to-
