DO NOT GET Ell
BY gibson GARDNER
Washington, April 13.-Overwork
and underpay are the principal forces
at work in breaking down the health
of American workingmen and wOm-
en-. This is the conclusion of the
U. S. public health service in a bull
letin just published, dealing with the
effects of modern industrial condi-
lions upon the lives and happiness of
100000 American wage earners.
DR.. B. S. Warren, surgeon, and Ed
gar SydenstTicker, statistician of the
public health service, are the authors
of Public Health Bulletin No. 76 en-
titled Health Insurance, Its Relation
to the Public Health" which shows
the conditions in American industry
today. This report recommends a
plan for compulsory health insurance
for wage earners, to be administered
by the state and federal governments.
Its outstanding feature, however, is
the indictment of present-day social
and economic conditions.
Each of the 3O,OOO,OOO workers in
the United States loses on the aver
age about nine days every year on
account of sickness alone" says this
report. The causes of disease are
given as follows:
The occupationaI hazards of dis
ease; irTegularity of employment; I'M
healthful conditions of living; the
employment of women in industry
under modern. conditions of work, |
particularly of married women; and
the economic disadvantage at which |
a large proportion of wage workers
and their families are placed as the !
result of low wages and insufficient |
annual income.
The report makes it clear that !
economic disadvantage as a cause |
of disease overshadOws all the rest. |

GOVERNMENT REPORT SAYS WORKING MEN
DO NOT GET ENOUGH TO EAT


cradle proportion of the families of
wage earners have not been able to
maintain a diet that will provide for
proper nourishment.
"a larger proportion can maintain
an adequate diet only at the sacrifice
of healthful environment and of other
items which go to constitute a rea-
sonable standard of living. There can
be no doubt that noUrishing food is
sacrificed in a large number of in
stances in order to obtain some of
the comforts and amUsements and to
crafty some of the wants which are
entirely natural and to be expected
of the average American"
Less than half Of the families of
American wage workers get enough
wages to maintain decent conditions
Of existence, according to this report.
''An examination of a number of
studies of the budgets Of American
wOrkingmen's families indicates that
the point of adequate subsistence is
not reached until the family income
is about $500 a year." the report con-
tinUes. LESS than half of the wage
'eaners' families in the United States
have an annual income of that size,
according to all statistics of income
for wOTkingmen's families.
eff this be true, over half of the
families Of American wage earners
must either lower their standard of
life in other respects in order to have
an adequate diet, or make sacrifices
in their diet in order to secure health
full housing, favorable community
environment and a few of the reason
able comforts.
THE effect of the rapid increase in
the retail prices of foods that have
been found to constitute the diet of
workingmen's families can not be
overlooked as an additional factor in
this connection. Between 1900 and
1913 the average increase in the re-

Spitzbergen Coal
Fields Developed

Christiania, Norway, Nov. 24.-The
Norwegian Coal Company which
bought the American coal fields in
Spitzbergen has now completed the
preparatory work for getting the min
ing started and this year will have
mined more than $4,000 tons.-19,-
600 tons, Of which already have been
exported to Norway in the time from
August IL to October /. It is the
aim Of the company in; 1920 to have
a yearly production Of 100000 tons.

months from June to September will

There are now under construction
at Advent Bay great piers with the
most modern loading machines so as
permit the loading Of 1900 tons a
day. Later similar facilities will be
provided at Green Harbor.
It is claimed the quality OF this coal
Is superior to the best English coal.

Early Artificial Limb.

There is preserved In the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons, London, what liz prob
ably the very earliest specimen extant
Of an artificial leg. This remarkable
limb is considerably over 1900 years
old, having been unearthed In 1885
from tomb at Capua, which was built
at least as far back as 800 B. 9. Yet
for beauty OF shape and carefulness Of
construction it might vie with many Of
those turned out today. It is made
with pieces OF thin bronze, fastened by
bronze rivets to a hollow wooden core,
and is modelled so as to accurately rep
resent the form Of a real leg. The out
side Is believed to have been enameled
flesh color, and the upper part of the
artificial leg was connected with the
living stump by means Of circlet Of
sheet bronze edged with small rivets,
probably used to fasten a leather lin
ing.-Pearson's.

That Federal Land Bank

Perhaps we will be called pessimistic in specializing on the re-.
suits of the famous land bank, but we cannot resist looking It over
from a common law of past experience.
1t is claimed that this bill will work wonders. The government
is going to loan money to all you farmers at 6 percent interest. That
is about 2 percent less than you are paying now for the same money.
That is all lovely, but did you ever stop to consider that while Uncle
Sam is running these banks that he will probably run them the same
as he has everything else. which as W q all know in the past has been
at a loss. Now while you are paying 6 percent for the loan of the
money, you will pay additional tax to the amount of several more
per cent to make up the deficiency, with the net results that you will
be paying from 5 percent on up to maybe ID percent.
Those government matters always sound good, but W will ven
ture that the public land entryman, and others who have dealt with
Uncle Sam knows about some of the red tape that is attached to all
government performances to the extent that the average man will
have none of the federal loans.
Another endearng feature will be the fact that Uncle won't
loan to tn poor little entryman who needs help, who can't give the
security to procure 1t from any source, and whose very life blood of
hanging o depends on his getting a little money to pull him
through He won't get a cent. Uncle is looking for loans where
the mortgage will be about 20 percent of the valuation, with the net
results that the people who will get the loans will be the big bugs,
who can get money from any where, at any time, at any rate of in
terest they choose to pay, and the rest will pay the additional tax to
take up the usual government deficiency in operation.

the Passage of the $40 Law for Votes.

Trying to sell the West by making a fake passage of the $40.
acre homestead bill was the latest attempt of congress to grab votes
In the West The Democratic papers are making a great ado about
nothing, telling the voters that this means the bill will be finally
passed in December.
1t means that the pork-barrel vote geters of the present congress
IA Il small matter (smal) that might be worked to their advantage
IN the West, Sc they framed up to pass the $40 homestead bill at the
last minute, attaching to 1t amendments in which the House had not
concurred, and on which they would not have time TO concur. Then
IN naming headlines the democratic papers stated through out the
west that the bill had been passed. Passed is right, 1t was passed,
but 1t Is Just a far from being a law as it ever was. The House will
have to concur In the amendments, and pass them before the bill can
x" to tue President, and probably the amendments attached to it are
81 obnoxious that the House will not concur Now this 640acre bill
has been laying on the general file in Congress since in April, and at
any moment could have been taken up and passed. To think that
soundmlndedly (supposedly) men would attempt to pull a raw one
Ike TINS at the last minute will unquestionably have an un pleasant
comeback. We aren not so rottenIy ignorant in the west Is the pres
ent congress would like to have you think.
