A TABLOID OF THE FLAG.

The Stars and Stripes was raised on
the heights near Boston on January
IS, 1776, and the British troops be-
lieved it to be evidence of submission
to the king. The Betsy Ross flag, the
official flag, came later. but in 1776.
Congress, in June, 1777, resolved
that the flag should consist of thirteen
tripes of alternate red and white, with
thirteen stars. Various theories of it's
first unfurling are given.
After the Declaration of Independ-
ence, July, 1776, the first salute to it
was given by the Dutch island of st.
Eustatious in the West Indies by
Johannes de Graft, commander of the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1894 two additional
stars were placed on the field, but
they were discarded after much debate
in congress and the original thirteen
were restored in 1878.
eign and captured fort was at Nassau,
January 28, 1778. The first carried
to London was on vessel February
8, 1888. 1t f1oated in China in 1884.
1t was carried around the world
from 1887 to 1890. The first salute to
it given by an English vessel was in
May, 1871.
1t was not until after the Civil war
that the custom now prevailing OF
making American flags from Ameri-
can bunting came into practice. The
first American flag made of American
bunting was hoisted over the capitol
at Washington in February, 1866, and
was the gift of Benjamin v. Butler,
who, at the request of the secretary

HOW TO REDUCE DISEASE AND DEATH

fetal elements which are often lost in
cooking.
9. Eat slowly.
10. Have your bowels move at least
once each day-preferably twice-reg-
ularly.
IL. Stand, sit, and walk erect.
~. Avoid poisonous drugs.
13. Keep clean and avoid conta-
gious diseases. The daily bath is de-
sirable. The hands should always be
washed before eating. Water should
be boiled before drinking if its purity
has not been established. Mosquitoes
and flies should be kept out of the
house and away from food. Fruits
especially apples-after a meal are
good mouth and tooth cleaners.
IA. Work hard, but play, sleep, and
rest, too. Laughter is healthful.
Is. Be cheerful, and learn not to
worry.
"The secret of life and of happi-
ness" says Professor Fisher, "seems
to be in taking ones life and work
cheerfully. Almost anyone can as
sumo this attitude if the proper de-
sire is present"
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-09-01

There are more than six hundred
thousand preventable deaths in the
United States every year. There are
million and half people lying on
sick beds in the United States any
day in the year who should not have
been there.
Such are the declarations made in
the last issue of the University of
California journal of Agriculture
published by the students of the Col
lege of Agriculture) by the distin-
guished economist, Irving Fisher, pro-
fessor of political economy in Yale
university, who is to visit the Uni
versity of California next fall to give
the annual Hitchcock lectures.
Human life is needlessly shortened
at least fifteen years in the United
States" declares Professor Fisher.
Moreover, "preventable diseases even
when not fatal cripple the power to
work and mar the joy of living"
81 venture the opinion" says Profess
sor Fisher, that the average man or
woman in the United States is not do
ing half of the work nor having half
of the joy of work of which the human
being is capable"
While there is now a decreased loss
of life from infection by the germ dis
eases, there is an increased loss of
life after middle age from the degen-
erative diseases. such as hardening of
the arteries or Bright's disease. Neg
lect of individual hygiene is declared
by Professor Fisher the chief cause of
this degeneration.
Here are fifteen rules for more
scientific habits of daily living which
Professor Fisher proposes as a means
of keeping people well and happy, and
lengthening their lives:
l. Ventilate every room you oc-
cupy, and keep the air in the house
always as pure as the air outdoors.
2. Wear light, loose clothes of
porous cloth, so loosely woven that
air can be blown thru it, for the skin
needs air.
3. Spend some time in the open air
every day.
a. Have lots of fresh air where
you sleep, or sleep out if you can.
5. Breathe deeply.
| 6. Avoid eating too much.
z. Do not eat too much meat and
s. Eat various kinds of food-most
people eat too much soft food. Hard
foods like crusts, toast, hard fruits
and nuts, which require chewing, are
beneficial. The danger with most peo-
pie is that they eat too much of con-
centrated foods and not enough bulky
or filling foods, such as lettuce, celery
cucumbers, spinach, asparagus, cab
bage, cauliflower, beets, onions, car
rots, parsnips, squash, pumpkins, to-
matoes, and other garden vegetables
Some raw foods, such as fruits and
salads should be eaten each day, as
these raw foods contain certain bene-

will necessarily be accompanied by a
new expenditure at the rate of much
more than S90,0O0,000 a day, in addi-
ton to the bill of the United States.
This latter Professor Seligman has
estimated at $10,000,0 100000, for the
year. 1t is thus only too evident that
the war can not end with smaller
cost in direct expenditure than be-
tween S1OO,OOO,O 100000 and $125,000,-
100000.
"This takes no account of the inter
est that is accruing on the money al
ready borrowed, and which is assum--
ing the character of a heavy annual
liability for all the powers concerned.
Countries that have been piling up
debt without proper provision for ade-
quate revenue expansion may have to
confess bankruptcy before the obliga-
ton of repayment natures. At the
end of the present fiscal year the
national debt of England will entail
an interest of about S1,500,000, 900.
The new English war taxes have yield
ed somewhat over the amount of this
interest charge. In the case of Ger
many, her obligations for interest on
war debt and ultimate repayment al
ready amount to we'll over 81 900, ,000,-
900 a year, and to meet this the war
taxes, if they satisfy the most opti-
mistic hopes, will not exceed 100000
900 year.
"The ghastly debit of human lives is
the most depressing item of the ac-
count, disturbing as the amount of the
financial liabilities undoubtedly is. A
comparatively recent return of Ger
man losses admits that more than
100000 have been killed, have died,
or have been permanently incapacitat-
ed from earning living and outside
observers have placed the figure con-
siderably higher. An unofficial mill
tary calculation, based as far as pos
sible on published casualty lists, gives
the approximate losses of all the other
belligerents as 100000 up to Febru-
German figure, gives a total of 6,000,-
600. Add to this the carnage of the
five months between February and
August, and the number will have to
be enlarged to 6,500,000.
Starting with an estimate of the
average potential economic value of
SO 800 for each man of the 6,500,000,
and we have an aggregate of $25,35O,-
100000. Adding what may be called
the contingent costs of the removal of
these men from their customary voca-
tions, and we have total of economic
loss on the score of the sacrifice of
to $25 SOC, 100000.
"Without going into the details of
the estimates of material damages to
the territories ravaged by war and to
the dislocation of trade contingent on
it, recapitulation of the entire state
ment shows a total of S121 $50, 100000
as the worlds war bill for three years.
1t is unquestionably true that for years
to come the millstone of the enormous
debt, which has thus, directly and in
directly, been piled up, will hang about
the necks of rich and poor alike. On
the other side of the account may be
placed the realization of higher ideals
of life-the certainty that war on such
scale as we nave been compelled to
witness twill chasten and scarify the
world, making it more frugal and tenn
perate, less prone to the frivolous ex-
cesses of passion and the pursuit of
idle pleasure, and more receptive of
the gospel of human equality and
mutual helpfulness."

As to Freight Cars

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-It would re
quire 4.161,170 freight cars to carry
the entire grain crop as estimated for
this year if each car was loaded as
the average car was last year with
grain. A large share of the cereals
grown will never leave the farms, but
the amount which will be shipped by
rail is certain to swell the car short
age.
The grain movement from the West
will be at its height during the next
six w~eeks--just at the time when the
railroads will be engaged in the larg-
est troop movement in the history Of
the country. They will have to trans.
port from the various states to- the
sixteen military cantonments over
$50, 600 men drafted for the new army.
Many special trains will be required
for them which may considerably re-
|duce the number of locomotives avail
able for regular passenger and freight
service. s.
The railroads own 100000 freight
cars in all, Of which only about a mil
lion are box cars, and available for
hauling grain. An average increase
in loading OF only two tons per car
would be equivalent to adding over
100000 cars to the number available
for public use
