THE GREAT LIFE SAVER

Who is he? Why, the plumber.
He saves more lives every year than
any other man, unless 1t be the doc
tor. The plumber Is not hailed as
a hero, and no medals are pinned on
his breast He doesn't want them.
He is satisfied to do his work the
best he knows how and to save as
many lives as he can.
During the past twenty years
deaths from typhoid fever have been
reduced 22 points; diphtheria, 26
points; tuberculosis, 73 points. In
other words, 200. 900 American lives
are now saved every year-a saving
that twenty years ago was an an
nual loss. Two hundred thousand
lives saved every year-some life
saving, don't you think? or course
all this is not due to any one man,
or profession, or business. But
plumbing plays big part in life
saving by keeping men, women and
children healthy, thereby preventing
sickness.
Keeping a person well not only
saves life-it prolongs it. A happy,
useful old age is the result OF good
health. 1t is impossible to have the
best Of health where there is not the
best plumbing. Ask your doctor.
He knows. He will tell you that
well plumbed home is the best
health insurance-the best life saver.
