HERNIA.

DIR. James BURY, of the Illinois Steel
company, speaking before the national
.afety council, stated that the theory
lat straining caused hernia should be
consigned to the scrap head. This is
lis reasoning:
There cannot be a hernia without a
ternial sac. The hernial sac is formed
rom the peritoneum. Persons who

That the Russians have made extern

that, in his Judgment, is no a satisfac-

For the employees of his company and
