HIGH WAGES AND HEALTHFUL WORKERS
PAY BEST RETURNS TO EMPLOYERS

we expended our health appropria-
tons with no specific anticipation of
profit. We have frequently tried
something in health or welfare work
that had got some one else a lot Of
publicity. Or, we were conscious Of
a certain unrest among our men and
used certain health work as patent
medicine"
DIR. Armstrong explained that this
attitude not only failed to demon
strate the value of health work from
an economic point of view, but Great
ed wrong attitude among the work.

he said, 'has come to be known In
some circles as hell fare work.
There are many groups of condi-
tions hampering health which do not
result in mans stopping work en-
tirely, but which do constantly and
progressively curtail his production.

"There is the obvious money loss

Fatigue, inattention, lack Of con

these. Men are irritated, even thougf

ELECTION OF
SMITH MEANS
MUCH TO uRBANA

Those who would not see urbana
continue its ptogfesAlvaness and civic
improvements, feeorted 10 old time
political triekery In presenting a
Democrat on "CltiKene' ticket 10
defeat James Elmo Smith. the Re.
publican candidate for mayor.
For four years MIR. Smith has
given urbana an administration
which has attracted nation wide at.
tontion through the improvements
which he has encountered and the
reeidents sanctioned.
This year Mr., Smith wanted TO re-
tire and devote his full time TO hik
own personal affairs, but a committee
OF prominent business men waited up
on him With the urgent appeal 10
| again make the race and he consent
cd.
There afe those In every town or
city who cannot see the good in hay-
lng paved streets, sidewalks or
lights and other improvements that
will help the city and they started TO
find timber for nm opponent who says
THE city should get out of It's present
Indebtedness before entering new
ones between the words which We
can read means block any further
improvements unless forced TO them"
Fearful of the results In a direct
primary campaign they resort to 9TH
ef methods TO put their candidate on
the ballot. That Is accomplished by
using girl as the innocent victim
Of the political fight and writing in
Mr.. Smiths opponents name. II is
with the expectation that the SYM
pathetic vote for Miss Alyerson will
also carry Mr.. Linton through. To
this We wish to warn our readers.
Oyereonfdence aud indifference In
voting has caused the defeat OF many
good men. ufbana like Champaign
has many problems and measures to
meet yet and the good sound pro-
gressive administration now In force
In urbana should be continued for
another term. Every wage Garner
should not only vote himself but see
that all members Of his family of
voting aye gets TO the polls next
Tuesday.
james Elmo Smith should be elect
ed by the largest vote he has yet
received.
In the aldermanic race there are no
contests of importanee--but In some
wards where there IL no opposition
there Is talk Of writing in names to
defeat the candidate should he be
asleep on election day.

Mussolini, boss Of Italy. says demo,
enacy Is bunk. He says Italy and
Russia are proving il. What he likes

Mussolini came into power because
he found q way to organize enough
force TO put himself there. He's
proud OF has achievement. One rea.
son why he could sweep into power
with force was because democracy In
Italy wasn't well enough organized
to function effectively on its own ae-
count.
No dictator can grab power by
force where the mnsses know hew 10

are iiterate and understand issues

There is a limit to the endurance
of all things--the limit Of endurance
of human beings is regulated to a
great extent by the kind of work a
man is engaged in. Those whose oc-
cupations are Of combining mature,
even though classified as light occu-
pations. fatigue more rapidly than
those who work in the open. Then
aagin, those whose work requires the
use of certain chemicals are more
susceptible to fatigue than are those
who work longer hours at other occu-
pations. Printers, for instance, who
sixty years ago worked II hours a
day and lived 10 the stupendous age
of 80 years, have heightened their
lives to So years by the reduction Of
hours and more healthful working
conditions. The following article by
DIR. Armstrong shows the advantage
of the shorter workday.1

vantage in cheap labor, long hours
and poor working conditions that irri-

health council in an address TO busi-
ness men Of this city.
He told Of the heavy illness losses
amounting 20 10 per cent--in the
south, compared with only 2 per cent
i'll in New England, and said it was
better to pay the higher wages re-
ouired than 10 employ the lower-paid,
less efficient workers of the south.
The speaker is considered an au-
thority on the subject Of health in IN
dustrial establishments.
"Of particular importance TO New
England" said Dr. Armstrong, "is
the fact that the time is coming when
we shall select a community for IN
dustrial development, not only because
of its railroad facilities and labor
