SECRET OF
HEALTH
by DE-. o. a. q. Reed


nNE of the ways to solve the
" problem OF the convalescent
consumptive Is to recognize, first,
that he has and always will have
a fertile soil for reinfection. and,
SECOND, that his liability to rein
lection Is greatest in crowded
habitations Of congested cities.
The only place where that liability
Is greater Is in the crowded and
insanitary abodes of certain la.
borers in the country districts
and isolated industrial villages.
The next great problem Is to
train such subjects to a new and
sustaining occupation. In most
cases they cannot return to their
original employment and 1t is we'll
nigh impossible to train tubercu-
lous men for reinstatement in or.
binary industry. The organism
is damaged, and damaged forever,
and the Industrial environment of
the modern world is unsuited for
it to live in. When the incubus
of providing for family is added.
the position becomes impossible.
tuberculosis is a fluctuating
disease, and needs continuous med
ical care and thorough under
standing of the principles under
lying both health and industry.
This can only be carried out under
special scheme. The Reco work
shops in New York set out to
train men who were below stand
ard, health, but the Afro work
shops and the Papworth colony in
England realize that return to the
outside world is impossible, and
work on a different plan|
In the village settlement there
must, first and foremost, be the
guarantee of a living wage. To
provide suitable housing accom-
modatioin without providing the
means to pay the rent goes but a,
very little way. To pay the rent
destroys the tenants self respect,
and the result is all too likely to
be a pauperiZed individual. To
enable the consumptive working
man to maintain his earning ca
pacity, a whole set of conditions
must be provided In the first
place, the work must be such that
his strength is equal to it. and
II must be congenial. whether it
be work Of a craftsman or repeti.
ton work. II there is one thing
which a workingman is quicker to
detect than another, it is the sham
industry or trade which has been
set up by the amateur for his
benefit. If the employer Is play
ing at the game, so will he.
Secondly, there must be no ex'
ploitation of his labor. The true
settlement is one in which there
is opportunity for all to attain a
better position, just as it is pos
sible in any business concern. The
settlement should be a self-con-
tanned community composed OF
substandard men and women,
who compete with one another,
but not with the healthy. The
provision of opportunity to put the
mans talents to good use is quite
different from charity. which
paralyzes effort. Moreover, 1t Is
important not to have a healthy
overseer, who will inevitably come
to look down on his substandard
employees and lower It's standard

is also true, although this fact
is not so generally mentioned,
that we couldn't be anything else.
We were pretty and proper but
that let us out. As human be-

age OF nineteen. Neither one of
us had ever earned a dollar-nor
did we know any work by which
we could, earn dollar. Nice
girls didn't work in those days
even when their fathers were in
humble circumstances as ours
were. Our parents had all the

The doctor who examined him
said there was no real rupture,

SO easy" he warned, "and

Nujol, taken regularly, avoids
this risk. 1t provides an easy,
natural method of regulating

Spring Bride

She should remember, when
purchasing her ice-box, that
bright colOrs and fancy fittings
do not determine it's value. Be
sure of two points. First, that
the insulation is at least ~"
of cork board or it's equivalent;
second, that the ice-chamber is
about 1-3 of the inside dimen-
sions of the box. Filled with
pure, sparkling American Ice,
such a box will give perfect
satisfaction.
