HEALTH HINTS

War conditions will make industrial
hazards greater unless every possible
step is taken to safeguard the health
of the munitions worker. There are
between 8,5OO,OOO and 100000 per
sons engaged in the production OF war
materials. Some of these are exposed
to highly poisonous dusts. Venttla
ton provisions are particularly i'm
portant in these industries. Adequate
washing facilities AID lunch rooms are
also indispensable.
Shower baths in factories help pro
tect against these poisons. So do sep
arate lunch rooms, as otherwise the
workmen may take some of the poison
into their systems while eating their
MONDAY lunch in the dust Of the fac

Baths also promote personal by

COLOR OF SEA WATER.

From Tropical Azures to the Vivid
Greens Near the Poles.
Why is the ocean blue? Reflection Of
the sky, you say. This accounts for
some of the color, but not ALL 1t Is
well known that the tint varies great
ly in different localities. Persons tax
ing sea water baths on ocean liners
are always surprised by the very no.
ticeable color of their morning tubs.
Color in sea water is largely a mat
ter of sadness and density. In the
tropics the tremendous evaporation In
duced by the blazing sun causes the
water to be much saltier than in high

and south of the equator the water of
the worlds oceans is a deep blue which
fades and changes to green the fur
Their one goes toward the poles. In
the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the
greens are almost as vivid as the
tropical azures. China's Yellow sea
derives its color partly from the mud
dy water poured in by its great rivers
and partly from small organisms
which exist there in numbers which
exceed the 12oO0O,OO0 living creatures
to the square mile found on the aver
age
The question of salt in water brings
up our old friend the Dead sea, which
contains % per cent of solid matter
and, bulk for bulk, is heavier than the
human body. Many believe, even in
Jerusalem. that bathing in this IA
nous body of water is harmful and
swimming impossible. This is not the
fact The chloride of magnesia in the
water possesses medicinal qualities if
it Is not permitted to get into the eyes.
1t is true that the density of the water
renders fast progress in swimming diff

more than makes up for it--Agwi

place for new structures. Salvage glass
of this sort brings prices not far below
those of new glass.

from the plate glass insurance COM,

~ Author Of AT GoodGOGJ SiSSash" So


a PREACHER is man who
~ talks to congregation for two
\ hours each Sunday and spends
the week days hearIening up his
flock for the next installment.
Preachers are supposed to be ex-
ceedingly holy men who set a pat
tern of righteousness for the world
to follow. There is very general
belief that if our preachers are good
enough it doesn't make, much differ
ence what the rest of us do. 1t is
really amazing to see how interested
the world is in the goodness of a
minister and how nobly it stands
back and refrains from competing
with him in this field Thousands of
men who are perfectly satisfied with
escaping the gallows themselves will
worry for hours at time over the
imperfections of the preachers and
will even refuse drink while alb
sorbed in making suggestions for
their improvement. In fact, our am
bition for the goodness Of preachers
is boundless. If only we can have
perfect preachers, we will cheerfully
wallow in wrong-doing ourselves.
The world records no more startling
unselfishness.
Preachers go to divinity schools
while quite young, and there learn
all about the world and mankind up
to 1900 years ago. Armed with this
knowledge, they are given a congre-
cation which knows all about the
world from yesterday to tomorrow
The result is usually a draw in
I'LL rounds. The duties, of the aver
age preacher are to preach twice a
week, to attend half a dozen miscel-
laneous meetings, to drum up attend
ance, to visit all his practitioners an
equal number of times during the
year, to kiss fifty brides of various
ages per annum, to illuminate sick
rooms, to beat the undertaken to the
house of death and run a tie race
with him at each funeral, to support
wife and a-black frock coat, to say

many thousands Of ministers are
doing all this successfully. The
preacher is, in fact, almost the only
man who is not partly responsible
for the high cost OF living.
A great many very smart young
men who are making $4,000 a year
and are sitting up late at night in
order to spend 1t all on themselves,
are inclined to make fun Of the poor
and peaceful preacher who never
goes to prize fights and horse races
and who leads such an ingloriously
unexciting life.
