Should diplomatic break come be-

Germany can Justify her position.
The press generally has hailed the

$50 MILLIONS

The wage-earners of this country lose annually
$680,OOO,OOO in wages and doctors fees on ac-
count of sickness
This is more than is given toward philanthropic
purposes in this country!
And those who contribute to philanthropie5
can usually afford to give this thousand
times more easily than the workers can.
This means that the workers are making very
substantial contribution which does nobody any
good-exceptng few doctors-because health
conditions aren't what they might be.
Sometimes this is the workers fault, especially
when the laws Of health are violated. But fire.
quently it is the fault of the municipality or the
state because of inefficiency ignorance the
part of health officers other officials response
BILE for housing and sanitary conditions.
Great progress has been made in recent years
in fighting disease but there's lot more to be
done, especially in cities, in wiping out those
conditions which breed sickness and invite death
Conditions will be quickly improved when
the workers themselves take an interest in
local health questions, cooperating with
health officers when these officials are sim
cerely doing their duty, and seeing to it that
the right kind of officials are appointed
