WARNINGS

Nature looks after us. She will

AS cities become larger and more
congested, their residents health
averages worse. Epidemies may be
prevented, but the "alI in" or half
Ill feeling multiplies. A man can be
80 per cent dead and still not be

time he spent in the military forces

part of a valued member. The trib-
ute given him at the grave side by
his fellow members indicated the

man has ever been held in his own
community.

nothing but the highest praise from
his employers. He has held various

ment preferred against him by the
