HALF OF PEOPLE SICK,
| PHYSICIAN DECLARES
DR.. Fisk Says Nation Is Better
From Moral Than Physical
Standpoint.
BIG WASTE IN INDUSTRY
Need Of Observing Rules of Health
Stressed.

This nation is better Off morally
than it is physically. The mass of the
people are honest but not healthy"
said DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk. medical
director OF the Life Extension Insti-
tute, in explaining that from the
standpoint of modern hygiene fifty
per cent of the people are actually
i'll. in an address delivered at the new
National Museum under the auspices
of the Women's Welfare Association.
yesterday afternoon.
DIR. Fisk declared that a study
made by the Life Extension Institute
elimination of waste in industry reveal
ed the following facts:
The economic loss in this country
annually from preventable disease
and death is over $4,000, 100000. One
billion eight hundred million of this
loss is among the gainfully employed.
The economic loss from the tubercu-
Ilosis death rate alone is 100000, 900
ANNUALLY and $4,000, 100000 for this
generation figured on the diminished
Longevity.
Loss of Working Days.
Forty-two million gainfully en-
ployed lose 350,00o,000 days from ILL
ness, disabilities and non-industrial
accidents annually; $4,000 die from
industrial accidents; 100000 working
people die annually. At least one
half of this loss is preventable or
vision, periodic medical examination,
health education and community by
giene. Twenty-Five million in the
working classes have defective vision
requiring correction. At least u.s.
100000 have defective teeth and mouth
infection; there are more than 1000
600 with some form of tuberculosis;
there are more than 100000 with
fiat foot; more than 100000 with or
ganic diseases resulting mostly from
infection; more than 100000 with
ycnereal infection.
Need of Examinations.
I'VE must seek for these causes by
periodic health examinations We
must improve the thoroughneSs of
school inspection and more definitely
educate our children in the science of
living. No amount of mental learn
ing or culture can compensate q
child for a damaged and inferior
physical existence" declared DR.. Fisk.
The following, he said. are the six
teen rules Of hygiene prescribed by
the Life Extension Institute: Venti-
late every room YOU occupy, wear
light, loose and porous clothes, seek
outdoor occupation and recreations,
sleep out If you can, breathe deeply,
avoid excess OF eggs, meat, flesh food,
salt and highly seasoned foods; eat
some hard, some bulky, some raw
foods daily; avoid hasty eating, use
sufficient water internally and ex-
ternally, eliminate thoroughly, reg
uiariy and frequently; stand, sit and
walk erect; do not allow polsons and
infections TO enter the body, keep
! the teeth. gums and tongue clean;
work, play and rest in moderation;
keep serene and who1e-hearted.

More Weather.

Early winter was delicious, balmy
was the gentle wind; seldom does
the climate dish us novelties of finer
kind. In our gardens there were
roses till the Christmas time was
past, and the peoples ears and noses
suffered in no arctic blast. We. had
soaked our heavy raiment, soaked
the fur and furbelow, and we won
dered what the jay meant who pre-
dicted lots of snow. But the weather
man grew ratified as the new year
made its bow, and the elements en-
battled raised most unholy row.
All the standard goods were chosen
from the Arctic's stock of storms,
and our lambrequins were frozen,
and we clamored for reforms. For
we'd soaked our winter clothing in
the time Of balmv airs, and we
viewed with bitter loatfing weather
fit for polar bears. Oh, the winter
is hummer, and we gurgle as we
60, in our rags designed for sum-
mer, through the tempest and the
snow. From forbidding polar reaches
comes the tempest grim and stark,
and our buds were made for beaches
and for picnics in the mark. So we
roast, for goodly reasons, such an
elemental crime; better far to have
our seasons come along on schedule
time Such mixed up stunt dis
closes onlv trouble, only woe; we're
opposed to winter roses, we are
down on summer snow.
