If all the candidates vote for them- | selves it begins to look as if no may- or could be elected. It seems fairly safe to say that af- ter election one Sydney Anderson w il prevention are going on,—thousands arc being successfully treated every day. Smallpox has almost entirely disappeared as & deadly disease. Yellow Fever has been conquered. Asiatic Cholera has been successfully resisted at our seaports. Other com- municable diseases have decreased, But diseases of the Weart, Kidneys, Arteries, * (Largely preventable or postponable if detected in time) as well as Cancer, etc,, of the non- communicable class, have increased | steadily—Cancer 130 per cent; the others 104 per cent since 1880. Altogether over 600,000 lives are lost annually . from preventable cause. Isn’t it worth while to make an effort to veduce this sacrifice of human life? Is your water supply pure and fully protected against contamina- tion? needless Is the sewerage system ample and ig it used by all residents; or are part of them still helping to spread disease by maintaining open or un- protected vaults? _ Has a proper sanitary method been adopted for disposing of garbage? Are there dirty streets, alleys, or back-yards? Is the official milk inspection rigid and efficient? Are consumptives and those af- filiated with other communicable diseases properly supervised in order to prevent them from spreading their misery to others? inspected and protected from disease- carriers from the time of preparation for the market until they reach the | consumer? it It you have any of these death- dealing agencies in your neighbor- hood or town, do not ignore them,— | they are swelling the daily sick and death list in every community where they are permitted to exist. Dont’ you think: That more attention should be given to teaching disease prevention | in our public schools; That each State should protect the public by supervising those afflicted with tuberculosis? That each State should provide ample dispensaries and sanatoria to care for the consumptive poor? That each State should issue an instructive manual on the subject of sanitation, hygiene and general disease prevention and distribute it free? That the local or State health de- partments should give free medical examinations to the poor who ask for it, to detect and prevent disease and its spread? . That each town should have a local health league. composed of public-spirited citizens, to stimulate public interest and to give support to wise health laws and to health officials? again have to work for a living.

BEATS BLOWING SAFES, If you are really anxious and de- termined to make money steal a hen and coax her to lay an egg.—Red- wood alls Gazette. DO YOU WANT TO LIVE? very day in the year American B lives equaling the crews of two battleships are lost from preventable disease. At least 40 per cent of the deaths in this country—or two out of every five—are due to ignorance or neglect of well known sanitary or other preventive measures. These facts are presented by the department of conservation of the Hquitable Life Assurance company which makes these other graphically convincting suggestions: Over 400,000 people will be alive in the United States next New Year’s Day who would haye died this year if the death rate (reg. area) of 1880 still prevailed. We have learned by experience how to prolong human life. And this accounts for the in- creasing public interest in the con- servation of life*and health. The Tuberculosis death rate has declined 50 per cent in 30 years,— and still it is estimated that it slays 200,000 Americans annually, and aftlicts over 900,000 who are spread- ing the disease to others, Typlioid Fever has been reduced +0 per cent; Diphtheria 80 per cent; Pneumonia 10 per cent and still these diseases cost us 135,000 lives annually. Malaria is preventable but still tens of thousands are suffering from it. The Hookworm Disease has been discovered and its cure and fluence to promote the great nation- wide movement for the conservation of human life?

The employment continues far more deadly than railroading. The Portland, xore‘, city council has authorized Mayor Rushright to appoint a committee of businessmen to conduct a series of co-operative shops, where the profits would be distributed among the shareholders —the public. iy On Prussian State railways the predominant working hours are eight to nine and nine to ten. More than half the locomotive men and plate layers work less than nine hours, but 54 per cent. of pointsmen and signal men are on for ten to twelve. T In an official report the British seamen’s union states that its ‘in- come is now $5000 a week and that the seamen’s wages have been in- creased by the last strike by some $40 or $50 per annum. -A new pro- gram of demands is being drawn up which will be presented to the ship owners this year: s Wisconsin’s new: fifty-five-hour-a week law for women clerks is play- ing havoc with the retail - clerk’s union. It is said the union is losing many of its women members as the result of the law. The women argue that the state law protects’them and does for. them just what the clerks’ union was expected to do. —x= During the great miners' strike of 1893 the colliers of Cannock Chase replenished their funds in strange fashion. The Birmingham canal was emptied for repairs, whereupon the men, to the number of about two thousand, descended into its muddy bed and collected hundreds of tons of coal, which they sold at remunera- tive prices. AR Notwithstanding the fact that Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, re- ported to the Atlantic convention the highest paid up membership ever attained, the months of October, November anq December, the first three months of the new fiscal year, reveal a still further increase in paid up membership. st g At the New York headquarters of the United Garment Workers of {America it is announced that prep- arations are being made for a secret ballot on _a proposed nation-wide |strike. It is claimed, that the strike, {if called will affect 125,000 garment workers in New York City and 250,- 000 throughout the country. i —_x— The employes and clerks of the‘ Toronto, Ontoria, post office have| started a movement to organize the { vince any one who may be in need of: Try a Want Ad the: purposs” of making a demand upon-the Government for a better rate of pay than that which clerks and letter carriers now receive, If some -consideration cannot be obtain- €, it is hinted that a strike may re- sult that will tie up the service. Peculiar After Effects of 6rip: This Year, Leaves Kidneys in Weakened Con. diti n. Doctors in all parts of the countr; have been kept busy with the epi- demic of grip which has visited so many homes: The symptoms of grip, this year are very distressing and leave the system in a run down con- dition, particularly the Kkidneys which seem to suffer most, as every| victim ‘complains of lame back and | urinary troubles which should not be/ neglected, as these danger signals of- ten lead to more serlous sickness, such as dreaded Bright’s disease. Lo- cal druggists-report a_large sale on Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root which so, many people say- soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an at- tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great: kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and, being an herbal compound, has, a gentle healing effect on the kid- neys, which is almost immediately noticed by those who try it. Dr. Kil- mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., offer; to send a sample bottle of Swamp Root, free by mail, to every sufferer who requests it. A urial will con- T it.
