der which the young women em- ployed by tho telephone company labor. the Observer hesitatcs to find fault with their work, Theirs is q nerve tracking task, their minutes itllled with industry. their fingers called upon to respond to messages which flash through the brain in rapid succession.
 Nevertheless, 1t seems as If there has been a let-down in the service. Whether 1t Is because the work Is beyond the control of the staff em- lployed or for any other reason, Il word must be spoken for the humble subscriber. Telephone users say there is delay In getting in touch with central, Bearing out this com- paint is an instance of which the Observer has personal Knowledge. One evening this week an individual tried to get central He waited for | three minutes---a clock was direct | ly in front of him. He gave Up in disgust. Shortly afterwards he went to another telephone !n the same office and waited for nearly four minutes before hearing q voice say. Mum ber, please" Feeling rilcd. he asked for the supervisor. It was fully two minutes before the super visor answered. This may be an unusual occurrence . It is doubtful whether it can be taken as an aver age case.
 Only a few hours ago d private switchboard operator asked "inIor- nation" for the number of certain resident. A moment later she asked the regular central for the number Central informed her that the number had been changed and gave her the new number. This humber was called and it proved to be the wrong, party. Again the switch board operator asked central for the right number, different fig ures were given and at last the connection with the party was made.

 We shall invest our time wisely SC ns to secure the largest health divi dends
 We shall watch the health mar ket so carefully that no new healtl investment will escape our notice.
 We shall continue to protect oul family from diphtheria, typhoid ant smallpox by holding our investmen in toxin -antitoxin and the yaccines.
 We shall guard with care our gil edge bond--a physical health exam ination--it brings safe and sure re turns.
 We shall buy heavily in well bal anced food--though the par value ] high, it Is worth the price.
 We shall diversity our investment : in health habits-rest, play, fresl alr---to secure health dividends iron many sources.
 | We shall invest large sums f good fellowship as this has struck now low level and demands little et fort on our part to secure it.
