Work is temporarily suspended

in a position to know that there
is nothing to get excited about.
The grading from Fort Loudon
to the top of the mountain is
probably three-fourths completed
and a long stretch on the west
side of the mountain. The sta
ton building at McConnellsburg
is almost done. Thousands of
ties have been delivered along
the grade, and there is little
reason for believing that tn e
work will not go on. 1t is not to
be expected that a work of such
magnitude will proceed without
a hitch once in awhile.

HEALTH And BIG BUSINESS
Little Talks Ou Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner OF Health.

Efficiency is generally consid-
cred the god of Big Business.
Certain it is that great corpora
tions have carried organization
to a point which has materially
increased the effectiveness o f
their employees; therefore, it is
not surprising to find that in all
great commercial and industrial
plants there are well organized
medical departments.
The employers who have upon
their rolls tens of thousands of
men and women find that it pays
them to provide for the adequate
medical care of their working
men and women. This has been
carried to a degree which would
have been considered astounding
a generation ago. Practically
every department store has its
medical and nursing staff. Some
even have dentists and chirop-
odists whose services are at the
disposal of their employees.
Instead of considering the ap-
plications without regard for
their physical condition, examina-
tions are now required in order
that sufferers from tuberculosis
and other diseases will not be
added to the force of employees
and menace the healthy workers
and the establishments custom
ers.
Great industrial plants n OF
only offer medical and surgical
treatment to their employees,
but the majority of them con-
duct welfare work, carrying
modern medical and sanitary
practice into the homes of their
employees to the great benefit
and protection of the workers
and their families.
1t has been demonstrated be-
yond the question of a doubt that
this is an excellent investment
from the employers standpoint.
No man can render the max
imum of service who is physi-
cally unfit. Big business has
proved health a primary neces-
sity in industry and it is willing
to pay for it.
The employees have never been
taken better care of than at the
present time. This has come
about through the educational
work of health authorities with
the assistance of the public press.
