The annual sick bill OF 30.000.-
600 American wage is
$1,000. 600, 600.
The time clock Of the nation
shows that each worker. through
sickness, loses an average of nine
days. This means that the work
ing time OF the nation is decreased
by more than $4,000 years.
Half OF the billiOn-dollar sick
bill represents wages lOst-sub-
tracted from the total of earnings
expected to finance the budgets OF
millions of families. The other
half represents the bill for doc

the total is twice the amount

Dancer Turks in Dirty Carpets

Who, knowingly, would let his children play on
such a carpet, which is a veritable garden of germs2
Yet now children sit and roll on carpets or rugs, and
leave their toys there. Their chubby hands are in
constant contact with the carpet. Frequently they
put their fingers and other %picked-up objects in their
mouths.
The deadly microbes of diphtheria, pneumonia,
and tuberculosis, which have been spit onto the
street, are carried into the home by every shoe that
crosses the threshold, and find Judgment in the rugs
and carpets. Sometime these germs will be conveyed
to the baby's mouth. 1t is a risk that no mother will
take, once she knows these facts.
Every thoughtful person should know them.
They explain, perhaps, many of the curiously recur-
ring illnesses of youngsters who play indoors. This
does not mean that children must be kept from play
ing; but that their playroom must be made safe.
There is but one perfect method of washing
carpets and rugs. That is, with the Hamilton Beach
Carpet Washer.

Less Arabic Land.

There r today in England 100000
fewer acres under clover and rotation
grasses than in 1895, and 100000 acres
fewer of other land under the plough.
There are thus 100000 fewer acres
Of arabic land in England today than
twenty years ago.

Carpets Must Be
Washed

In Millions of American homes and public build
ings are carpets and rugs that have never been clean
ed. They have been swept and vacuum-cleaned, yes;
but never WASHED, never really cleaned.
Both the broom and vacuum-sWeeper leave IN the
fbers of the rug a vast residue of dirt, mud, dust,
grease, street-trackings, and disease germs; and have
absolutely no effect on stain and spots and do not
brighten colors.
Think of the usual condition of carpets and rugs.
On the Dining Room carpets are ugly food stains.
The Hall Carpets are disfgured by street-blotches
that many feet have tramped onto them. The Parlor
Rug is duh to behold. It's original vivid colors that
used to give brightness and cheerlness to the room
are obscure and dirty; actually unclean to sight and
touch.
No rug or carpet can be cleaned by brushing
over it, any more than a soiled handkerchief can be
cleaned with a whisk broom. It takes good suds and
water and s%crubbing and rinsing to clean dirty hand
kerchiefs. Everybody knows this. How much more
necessary, then, it is to wash carpets and rugs on.

ALL MUST
WORK FOR PACT
Woman Speaker Declares It a
Solemn Duty.

1.-THE campaign on the Democratic side
is one Of education and on the Repub-
Iican, side one Of Misrepresentation and
suppression declared Mrs. Horsenss
Tapp Moore in an address at the League
Of Nationas headquarters today.
Mrs. Moore, in discussing the ''un-
truthful line Of Republican propaganda. >
said 1--WE are going into the league hon
est1y and cannot afford to be misled."
she declared the League of Nations
will make war as nearly impossible as
human agencies can make It,
This was the idea expressed by Mr..
Taft, Mr.. Wickersham and President
Wilson before the campaign" she pointed
out
Now our Republican friends are so
hungry for office they are going around
the country misleading the people"
Mrs. Moore declared those who believe
in the league must work for it as If
they had written the covenant themselves.
Mrs, Moore declared 1t is not a dues-
ton OF politics. but an American one,
world one, and said the people are not
to be fooled or trified with.
We must stand by Il and fight for
It," she said.
Mrs. Moore urged her audience to read
the document and learn for themselves
that article 10 Is drawn for the purpose
OF settling disputes instead of promoting
war.
E. L. Underwood of Michigan, who de-
clared he speaks for the league as a life
long Republican, said the Republicans
have begun to talk about President viii.
son as a campaign issue since they have
run out Of anything else to talk about.
Mr.. Wilson is not an issue. but some
OF his great humanitarian ideals are and
they viii be until the American people
adopt them" ne said.
BE branded Senator Watson as q
speaker Of false statements"
THE man who declared Wilson refused
to accept any reservations is either gross
ly ignorant or Intentionally faisifyine
and believe Senator Watson Is the
latter" said Mr.. Underwood.
The Republicans don't want the
gospel OF the league preached to the
people"
They don't tell OF Senator Harding's
political record because be hasn't any
worth being proud Of.
He repudsated the statement under
his pictures. a constructive American,
by saying be didn't have a single con.
structive idea.
