and that the laborer's right to decent
livelihood is the first moral charge upon
industry. The employer has a right to
reasonable living out of his business,
but he has no right to interest on his
investment until his employees have OBJ
tanned at least living wages. This is
the human and Christian, in contrast to
the purely commercial and pagan ethics
of industry"
That part of this article in quotation
marks is taken from the report on
Social Reconstruction: A General Re-
view of the Problems and Survey of
Remedies" issued by the National
Catholic War Council, copies of which
are mailed free on request by the Ma
tional Catholic War Council, 1912 Mas
sachusetts avenue, Washington, D. c.
The report should be read by every
wage Garner and every employer of la
bort discusses in practical, sane and
valuable manner the questions, not only
of Christianity in industrial problems,
but takes up the question of adequate
wages, reducing living costs, govern
ment control of monopo1ies and other
vital points which all are interested IN at
this special time The National Cath
olic War Council is conducting broad
and general, comprehensive educational
campaign at this time with marked good
effect.

RELIGION AND
LABOR PROBLEM
Will Christianity Solve the Cues
ton of Industrial Differences?
Ru HUGH K. HARRIS.

Perhaps the basic principle in re-
liRion that appeals most broadly to all
men is that rule which says, DO unto
others as We would have others do unto
YOU" Whatever a mans religion, or
what creeds he may adhere to, still the
fundamental justice underlying the
Golden Rule is the power that balances
all disputes on the right side-for mil
tual good.
Changes in our economic, and pol1t-
ical system will have only partial and
feeble efficiency if they be not rein
forced by the Christian view of work
and wealth. Capital and labor must
both reform, the 1aborer must come to
realize that he owes his employer and
society an honest days work in return
for a fair wage, and that conditions
cannot be substantially improved until
he roots out the desire to get maxi
mum of return for minimum of serv-
ice. The capitalist must likewise gain
a new viewpoint. He needs to learn the
long forgotten truth that wealth is stew
ardship, that profit making is not the
basic justification of business enter
Drise. and that there are such things as
fair profits, fair interest and fair prices.
Above and before all, he must cultivate
and strengthen within his mind the
truth which many of his class began to
grasp for the first time during the war
mainly, the laborer is human being,
not merely an instrument OF production;

Variable Climate Best.

A variable climate has a stimulating
effect upon health and is in general,
much more healthful than a uniform
climate, even though the uniform eli
mate has an ideal temperature. A rise
In temperature may occur without a
proportionate rise in the relative hui
midity, and in either case is said to
have a harmful effect on health. The
climatic groups showing the lowest
death rates are those where the tenn
perature averages about GA degrees
Fahrenheit, and the thermometer falls
to about 50 degrees or 60 degrees at
night and rises not much above 70 de-
grees at noon. Accompanying this
ideal of temperature there should be
a humidity that will average about 80
per cent for day and night together,
falling or rising with the temperature.

$6,5Oo,ooO IS THE GOAL
Fund Needed to Meet Expenses of the
National Tuberculosis Association
and Its Allied Societies Dur
ing 1920 Educational and
Preventive Campaign

The 1919 sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals will begin on the first day
Of December. With the opening Of
business on that day an army of vol
unteer salespeople will sound-"Buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals!"-the call
to arms in the war of determination
against tuberculosis. The sale will
extend through December 10th.
The annual Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale provides the chief income
of the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation and it's n thousand affiliat-
ed associations which are in the very
forefront of anti-tuberculosis organi-
cations. The 1920 programme of the
allied organizations calls for greatly
increased activities. To meet this
extension of effort a combined bud
get of more than $6,5 0 900 is re-
CURED and with this goal in view the
intensive sales appeals will be made.
A recent health survey resulted in
startling disclosures. Until the sur
vey tuberculosis experts WERE, to a
large degree, in the dark as to the
real extent of the ravages of the dis
ease in this country. All doubt on
this point has been cleared up and
the estimated total Of active cases is
placed above the 1000, 900 mark. To
search out every a of tuberculosis
in the country is the ultimate aim of
the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and it's allies.
Teams are being formed in every
community. Business men are form
ing sales organizations and similar
bodies are being organized by former

URGE RED CROSS SEAL
DAY IN ALL SCHOOLS
Surgeon General Blue Asks That
Churches Also Join in Move
ment to Further Sale

Surgeon General Rupert Blue has
issued an appeal to observe Christ
mas Seal Day in the schools and in
all places of worship in the United
States, December 5, 6 and 7. The ap-
peal follows:
Cover one hundred and fifty thou
sand Americans die annually from
tuberculosis. This is an appalling
waste of life when we consider that
tuberculosis is classed as a prevent
able disease. Moreover, because this
loss of life occurs almost entirely in
the ranks Of the young adult popula-
ton, health authorities the world
over have come to consider the con
troll of tuberculosis as still the most
pressing health problem confronting
them. Every year the National Tu-
berculosis Association, by selling Red
Cross Christmas seals, raises a consid-
cradle sum of money to be used in a
nation wide campaign to combat tu-
b%erculosis. This year a special eff
fort is being made to interest school
children in this work and December
fifth, sixth and seventh have been
designated as days on which the
seals are to be sold in the public
schools, synagogues and churches.
Because of the seriousness of the
situation, 1 trust that the campaign
this year will be particularly sue
cessful.
