A little more than two years ago Z. M.
Nordquist was foreman at IN artifi-
cial limb factory in Stockholm. He
was well Informed, and unusual en-
eTgy, coupled with an inventive ge-
MUS of high order made him very valu-
able in his position. But one day in
August, 1914, shortly after the break
ing out Of the war, he suddenly left
his position. he had figured out that
he could start a business of his own
and do still better. So far his Gus
toners had been almost exclusively
men who had been injured in the in
dustries or persons crippled by infan-
tile paralysis. Now came the W.
with its terrible mutilations. MIR.
NOrdquist went TO Helsingfors. Fin
land, and started a modest shop of his
own. He employed only five persons
at first. But his products made a repu-
tatiOn for him. His business grew
from day to day, and now he owns a
factory in Helsingfors and anothe.
In Petrograd, and keeps 600 en-
ployees busy night and day making ar

Preventing Disease.

The only way to prevent such dis
eases from spreading is for every child
who has a cold, q cough or a sore
throat or feels out Of sorts to be very
careful not TO put In its mouth or TO
cough over or TO handle anything
which other children are TO use. A
child WIN is not absolutely well should
be particularly careful to keep away
from babies. because babies are so
much more likely to suffer seriously If
they catch disease.
