were opposed to the expense neces-

from persons who were ignorant OF

average cost of $3.50 each. The prop

to handle the work Of constructing the
boxes and flue pipes. It was thought
best to have one man designated for
this work in order that proper installa-

Considerable difficulty was expert

in making the following report:
Prior to January 1, 1918, Florence
was a town OF between 5000 and TO-
600 population. At about that date
work was begun on government nitrate
plants / and 2, which caused the popu-
lation to more than double in less
than four months time. About one
fourth Of the area of the town had
sewerage, the remainder open surface
closets.
About March Is. 1918, at the re-
quest of the state board OF health. the
United States Health Service began
operations here, creating a district
known as the Muscles Shoals Sanitary
District, comprising an area of six
square miles, and including the two
government nitrate plants, the cities
of Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia,
and an adjacent rural section. There
was no efficient local health organiza-

prevent the spread of disease was OBJ

Is what we are up against now. Hence, say, the
cost Of living can be reduced only by nation
wide revival which will change mems heartsl
THE cost Of living Is more Of religious ques-
ton than an economic one. It's solution awaits
a religious revival rather than the passage Of
more legislation or the adoption Of new indus
trial order such as the Socialists the Bolshevsts,
or the I. w. WIS demand. Until the hearts Of
men are changed we should be no better off
under Socialism than at present; with the hearts
of men right, we can get on well under any sys-
tenn. Hence again say, we should quit fooling
with the thermometer either by changing the
scale or by putting thumb on the bulb. We
should go down cellar and put more fuel in the
furnace. This means go out into the forests and
cut more wood, mine more coal and produce more
of everything.
How can we increase production? First, let
me say there can be no such thing as too much
production, or over-production, provided all is
properly distributed and labor is properly proper
toned among the different industries. There
could be an over-production of pepper, or even
of sugar; but it will be many, many years be-
fore there could be over-production of food
stuffs in general; while cannot imagine time
when there could be an over production of good
homes and comforts. We need not fear over
production. What we must fear is that too many
people will loaf on their own jobs, and conse-
quently will not be able to buy their share of
good things. In other words, the problem is to
get everybody to producing something useful!
We can't do this by merely stating economic
facts. We must make it a moral issue!
1.-THE abolition of slavery was never accom-
plished by an argument of economics, but when
the majority of people were made to feel that
slavery was wrong, it was abolished. When the
majority of people were made to feel that drink
ing was wrong and were ashamed to be seen in a
saloon, we got prohibition In the same way,
when the people are educated to regard with con-
tempt the non-producer or the man who curtails
his production we shall strike at the tap root Of
the high cost of living!"
