Health in 1922

Many and varied are the resolutions which
will be made for the new year. Most Of them,
sad to say will be broken within few days, and
their makers will continue in the paths which
they resolved to quit for a smoother and
straighter highway.
There is one subject, however, which should
receive the intelligent consideration of every in
dvdual, and that is health. The matter of liv-
ing rightly and keeping well is an important one,
for it involves not only physical happiness but
also economic betterment. Every resolution to
develop habits of good health should be lived up
to zealously
Health first should be slogan constantly in
our minds eye. Each of us is i'll about seven
days in the year, which amounts to about per

States from illness is computed to be about
500, 100000. Most of this amount could be
saved if we kept we'll Our failure to observe
the laws of hygiene and to live rightly is source
of economic loss. 1t impairs our efficiency and

&C. W.
A. 1t was a Roman custom to place
over the heads of the crucified their
names and the crimes for which they
suffered. The Scriptures give the in
scription over the head of Christ, but
not over the thieves. According to the
Bible the inscription was written in
Greek, Latin, and Hebrew.

WHEN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.

More than a sixth of the people
killed in motor car accidents at night
lose their lives because of lack of
sufficient street lighting, according to
a report made by Earl A. Anderson
and o. F. Haas to the Illuminating
Engineering Society.
1t is estimated that / billion dol
lars in money each year is lost on
account of all street accidents, and
that nearly half of this is due to lack
of light. According to the census re
ports the total expenditure for street
lighting in the United States is not
in excess of so million dollars. Three
to ten times as much light as is fur
nished on most city streets is an en-
tirely feasible proposition and would
largely reduce the present accidents,
these investigators declare.
