During the past year the Federal government reports show that $4,600,OuO was spent upon the foresty service. This is commendable foresight! on the part of the government. But at the same time it spent but $2,500,000 for ;:e direct production of the j health of nearly 100 million people, I or to check ;he annual l:ss of over i 00,000 lives from preventable dis- j ease, is far beyond valuation in money, j Like the wasting of the forests and j wasting o:' the mines, how great a ; percentage are we wasting of human ; hnnifl offi Mon pv 9 Wp will i IILVT UUU iA i.4 A..A .? ^ i have abundance of all he necessaries; 01 life and even of life itself, u we wisely save, wisely develop and piv- j teet. and wisely use. Human life is our greatest asset and irs waste is a permanent loss.. The wealth of the nation is in i s men,: thrifty, honest, capable and patriotic! me:i. The milestones of a nation's progress are recorded in the hisoryj of every generation. In India the j average durati n of life is 2.~> years; j in Sweden more than 50 years. In a northern State of this country where most careful records have been kept, i is over 4~> years.

In the northern State men ioned before reports show an increase of 14 years in t'.ie last centtfry. So this humanitarian cause is surely a most economic, worthy and profitable one. We want to< increase the ratio of the value of man to the soil, of^ man to money, and to put man first all the time. He will be greatest amongst us who accomplishes most for man. For the brothhood of man was the world made and the fullness thereof.

Individual corporations are every-' where beginning to take an active in-1 teres: in .he health of their workers, j with a view of conserving the enorm- ; ous waste which is caused by the loss i of efficiency resulting from fatigue, j There is no question in modern in-1 i. i . ^ n a {mn/M.fnn - fVlnn ! * .

Fatigue is a posion which is ?voled by the activity; of the muscles during labor. Accord- j ing to Josephine Goldmark. an auth- i ority cn the subject, a ;ired person is literally a poisoned person?poisoned i by his own "waste products. inis was discovered less than 25 years ago by an Italian scientist. He demonstrated rhat the bloo<l becomes charged with these chemical wastes produced in the muscles and carries them to all parts of the body. Food is the great fuel and plays an imuortant part in producing energy. It is desirable therefore that workers should be taught the nutritional value of food, so that they may know he unimportant foods they consume?such as cabbage, which produces a minimum of energy. Another element in needlessly increasing is bad ventilation, with humidity oi' he work rooms, which produces aneamia. !

In this huge traffic is it "he man or the dollar that stands first r i.1' imponanee. i I lidei* the pressure o. oitv > life a man is always o . the lookout , ! .) short c-iiis. Ho jumps at every j) s<ib!e chance 01' getting bigger re- j turns where it will count. When he tin: out :'<>r sleep, lie wants to do it up in good shape. W.jen he j gets in 1115 recreation, ne wants iu enjoy himself to the top limit. Xj matter what he is doing, he goes into it for all it is worth. This is why drugs and stimulants j make sucii an appeal 10 me cuy man. ; They offer a short-cut method of get- [ ting results. They seem to give na- j ture a boost. A drug will often put us to sleep sooner than we can get there unaided. If we have the "blues" we i i take a dose out of ;\ bottle and soon J .eel happy and energetic again. With j the help o: a powder or two, we can j knock out a headache and manage to j keep at our business wtihout any loss j i time. If we have to work extra i hours., we can keep ourselves awake j and up to the game by the help of j a stimulant. j In other words, what drugs, nar-j cctics and stimulants seem to pro-! mise is increased efficiency without! increased cost. If this were really ' i the case, the use of drugs would be a | + m onnrtlircflP Rllt this iS a! HQ. UII IU - fallacy. I There is no drug that can be take 1 into the system regularly without working harm. Every drug has a secondary effect as well as a primary one. .Only one result is 'possible,?the; .1' tiia ns.ir'q usefulness.' I Oliui v ~ _ . i When a man sits down on a hor- j : net's nest he is immediately led to j i expand an unusual amount of energy.! ; but this hor.iet's nest creates the en I ergy. It was stored up tne man s nerves i I and muscles, "^iie act of sitting down \ i in an unaccustomed place simply en- j I ; abled the man to spend mere energy; in a given space of time than he other! wise would have done. A stimulant | I is verv much like a whip. What it j ! really does is to increase a man's | j energy-spending power, it turns on j ' more current. I i Popular education will be the source j ; of protection, that all may have a fair chance for a useful life. ? - - "? -s?f nf 'mere are omer wtwio wi. j vice and crime leading to a national decay; also there is the enormous waste of human life by our railroads, mills, mines and factories ^mounting to tens of thousands annually and those permanently injured and made a burden to themselves and to socity to tens of thousands more. In no other civilized country in the world _ j. is this loss anywfaere near as great i in proportion to work accomplished i as in the United States. The greatest part of this immense loss can be pre- \ vented. \ The best sources of information for j those interested in the conservation i of humanity are the lives of great men.
