"STOP AND START" MEN

THE Incompetent locomotive engi-
= neer Is known on the railroad an
Q stop and start" man. He can use
the brake and the throttle, but he
doesn't know how to take care OF his
engine.
The stop and start" man Is never
given a good locomotive or an i'm
portant train. Life and property are
too valuable to be entrusted to igno-
rance.
To run q locomotive q man need not
have technical education or know
how to build one. But he must have
q good understanding Of the principle
Of steam power. Of the mechanism Of
the air brake. And he must, II he Is
worth his salt, know how to care for
his engine so that, while II Is In his
charge. II will be most efficient.
Every human being lives and moves
In a machine far more complicated
than the most modern locomotive. And
ninety-nine men out Of 4 hundred
know no more about this machine
than the stop and start" engineer
knows about his locomotive.
1t is no wonder that 20 many human
locomotives spend so much time In the
hospital repair shop. or break down
and become worthless long before
they should.
How II is constructed. how II should
be operated. what kind Of fuel and
how much Of II Is required for the
best results-ail these are profound
mysteries. even to men who can con-
jugate Latin verbs or know the names
Of the Roman emperors In their
order.
II Is natural to desire long life. II
n pleasant to look forward to a
"green old age"
But these can be attained only by
men who know enough about their
bodily machinery to take care OF II
properly, and to keep II up TO the work
II Ia called upon to do.
II is not necessary or possible for
everybody to study medicine. But
every man can, with little trouble
learn something more than how TO
start and how to stop his own ma
chine.
He can learn how TO feed II, how to
exercise II. how to tell when some
thing Is working wrong. and when 10

engineer OF the human railroad
II all men would do that there would
be far less work for the hospitals
which are the SHOPS" for human loco

time to learn more about preventive
medicine. which Is the most important
branch Of medical science.
