 Industrial Health.

Industrial health as carried out by the great steel mills Of the country has resulted in great good to the community as whole. Father mother and the children arc rapidly becoming educated in the means of prevention. which aid so much in lessening the expenses Of the family bya preventing sickness and disease. In fact, it is this concerted action that is rapidly causing the death rate to decrease in many of our great in. dustrial centers.
 Father gets his help and instrnc. ton at the plate. The company physician, aided by competent as- sistants and we'll equipped hospital, is looking after his welfare at all times.
 The children get their help, in the schools. by health talks of both the physician and the visiting nurse.
 Mother can run over to the day nursery 10 receive any aid necessary for baby's comfort. At any and all times the company visiting nurse is at the family's disposal.
 Service is rendered to all workers irrespective Of whether he has been

injured in the works or has some dis ease or ailment real or imaginary So long as he is on the job, the mil service is his for the asking. Il would seem that the family has al least a fair chance to be free from sickness, under shese conditions.
 In addition to this, the workers arc carefully protected by all appli- cants for work undergoing a thor ough physical examination. This prevents any spread of disease or contagion,
 Tho real prevention which this in. dustrial health program has brought about Is the lessening in the disease of the community as a whole. Men are willing 10 cooperate and give their support to something they un. derstand by personal contact will con. serve their working power and aid their family Industrial health is a success,

Harriet Asked Madge An Important Question

Lillian's hand upon my shoulder awakened me the next morning, and started up from the deep sleep which always follows one of my nerv- ous headaches with unreasoninS right.
 Has anything -" began wildly, but Lillian. with her usual prompt understanding, answered my inquiry before l finished it.
 Everything is all right" she said emphatically, but l knew you want cd to get up before the Braithwsites went, so much as I hated to disturb you, just did that little thing"
 sprang out of our bed with a frantic look at my watch.
 Get up before they go :" I echoed. "I wanted to go with them."
 Almost any other woman in the world would have reminded me that had given no intimation the night before of any intention on my part Of taking the journey to Marvin. But Lillian only asked briefly:
 What time does the train leave?"
 told her, while I rummaged in tho dresser for stockings and lingerie.
 Al right. You can do if. Just get dressed. I'll attend to everything else"
 Lillian Takes Command
 As I drew on my shoes, l heard her quick footsteps going down the hall to the kitchen, knew that she was beginning the preparation of my breakfast Then back to the living room she hurried, and called through the door.
 Do the Braithwaitcs know you are going"
 No forgot 10 toll them, was so upset last night"
 Shall I do 1t now, and see about your taxi ?"
 You dear" said fervently,
 You're not half strong enough,' she retorted, but you san save the rest until VIC sec each other again. Your coffee is over and the tea kettle also. I'll poach you an egg when l get back. Don'tEou dare to go near that kitchen. I'll have plenty Of time"
 The last words f1oated back 10 me from the hall door which I heard close after her. went on with my dressing. secure in she knowledge that 1t was the only thing which could concern mo, and crammed n few things into an overnight bag. for the possible contingency Of wish ing to spend the night at the Dur kecs'. Lillian was back before I had finished. md heard Harriet Braith- waite's calm contralto, and her hus- bands booming bass, as the door opened.
 "wo were just coming down" Harriet said. "The telephone is out or order in our apartment upstairs. Do you know the number of the nearest taxi seryice?"
 "Madgc does" Lillian answered. "She'l tell you. Pardon mo, please. I'm running a quick lunch room down tho hall. Is there anything I can serve you?"
 We just breakfasted, thank you" my sister-in-law replied with laugh, then I heard her knock upon the bedroom door.
 That number is ------" began.

 Here's tho number. Edwin" she said, and repeated it after me to her husband. I was a bit surprised at her leaving the taxi summons to him, for she always saves him every detail. but l understood the reason, when, as he took down the receiver and began the inevitable death grap- pie with central, she spoke in low voice.
