THE MOST NEGLECTED
MACHINE ON EARTH
Productive machinery is constant
ly being reconditioned, and our gas
oline buggies receive at least a sea
Bonat overhauling.
But what about the human ma
chine?
Figures compiled by the life ex
tension institute for Hoover’s waste
elimination committee reveal that—
The economic loss in this country
annually from preventable disease
and death is over $3,000,000,000, and
$1,800,000,000 of this loss is among
the gainfully employed.
The economic loss from the tuber
culosis death rate alone is $500,
000,000“ annually and $26,000,000,
000 for this generation figured on
the diminished longevity.
Forty-two million gainfully em
ployed lose 350,000,000 days from ill
ness disabilities and non-industrial
accidents annually; 28,000 die from
Industrial accidents.
Five hundred thousand die annu
ally. At least one-half of this loss
is preventable, or postponable by
proper working conditions, periodic
medical examination, health educa
tion and community hygie ne.
__
seems to fet? a matter that
demands national action.
Some of the greatest medical au
thorities have asserted that the only
remedy is for the state to employ
all physicians and surgeons on the
same principle that educators are
employed.
That may be termed socialism,
but it is also sound democracy.
c DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE MADE
WONDERFUL IMPRESSION
IN WEST.
The impression that John W. Da
vis has created i^Jthe West and the
evidence of his popularity in that re
gion has been a grievous disillus
ionment to the republican supreme
command. The meeting Davis ad
dressed at Bunceton, Mo., was con
ceded even by partisan republican
corresponednts to have been the
largest political gathering in the
history of the United States. Vari
ous conservative estimated based on
data like the quantity of meat and
coffee consumed, the number of pa
per plates used, the total of auto
mobiles parked on and near the
Nelson farm put the throng at not
less than 60,000.
And there were big crowds to
greet him at every stop before and
after the Bunceton meeting.
On his return to the west, Davis
is sure to have a greater reception
than accorded him in his first tour.
Word of his frank and forceful
discussion of the issues and of his
personal magnetism and fine abil
ity as a speaker has spread through
out the middle west and more dis
tant west.
Democratic headquarters in Wash
ington is receiving hundreds of re
quests that Davis address meetings
in almost as many towns and cities.
WILL HELP SAVE FORESTS
The Forest Service has just written
to seventeen of the largest tobacco
manufacturers of the United States
requesting them to insert warning
cards in every package of cigarettes
they put out, cautioning the smokers
to be careful with fire in the woods.
Similar campaigns are being under
taken by various state chambers of
commerce.
The reason for this is that in
stedsjnp'thc problem of fire pre
vention the Forest ‘ Service has been
forcibly impressed with the hazard
of forest fires caused by thoughtless
smokers.
Figures recently compiled covering
Oregon and Washington show that
23 per cent of the fires have been
caused by smokers.
The public, year by year, is becom
ing more and more aggressive on the
subject of man-caused fires and
should demand that whatever steps
are necessary be taken to eliminate
such fires entirely.
Inasmuch as matches and cigar
ettes are responsible for the greater
part of our annual fire loss, match
manufacturers could well join with
tobacco manufacturers in spreading
the gospel of carefulness with fire.
A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. Straus, President Ameri
can Society for Thrift.
One of the most successful bus
iness men of our day recently said:
‘’Early in life, when a poor boy, I
formed the habit of jotting down a
record of every penny I spent. This
taught me the value of system and
frugality. 1 soon found myself able
to save a little money. As I grew
I developed habits of general thrift
from this simple beginning, and,
with a small amount of capital ‘thus
available when I reached the age of
maturity, I was able to take advan
tage of opportunities that led to
subsequent success. M
While it may seem a waste of
time ,o to laboriously keep record of
a
every cent one spends it is a fact
that many of our successful men
hold themselves to this rigid discip
line.
Every business concern keeps a
strict account of every penny receiv
ed and spent, and a business which
transacted its affairs in any other
manner would be most incapably
managed. The same principle
should hold true in- the ease of the
individual.
fn small things leads
t o eariess n ess in larger affairs and
likewise the careful handling of
small amounts of money fits one
for the greater and larger respon
sibilities of life.
The value of budget keeping is
especially valuable to the young for
habit thus formed early in life
is quite apt bo be carried along as
a permanent routine.
If you are endeavoring to get
ahead in the world and be prepared
for the rainy days that come into all
lives, adopt first of all the rule of
keeping an accurate daily record of
your expenses. You will find that
by the adoption of a budget system
your success in thrift will be made
doubly easy and you will soon be
surprised at the difference these
systematic practices make in the
amount of your savings.
A few pennies or a few dollars
wasted here and there do not seem
to amount to much at the time they
are spent, but when you see the rec
ord of these extravagances in cold
figures they assume their true pro
portions and significance, Make
your thrift practices conform to a
(Wcise, definite system.

ANARCHY REIGNS IN HOLY
CITY OF MOHAMMEDANS
______
London, \ Oct. 2.—Anarchy has
broken out in the holy city of Mecca,
according to a dispatch from a Cairo
correspondent.
The disorders began with the de
parture of Lewa Rushdy Pasha, mili
tary commander of the city, and the
evacuation of the shrine city by most
of King Hussein’s troops.
Robbery and violence are increas
ing and the inhabitants are terror
stricken, according to the dispatch,
which says an exodus of the populace
has already begun.
More than 3,000,000,000 envelopes
are used in handling the business of
the United States each year.

The criminal trial was just about

He was a meek, little man with a
bald head and wearing strong spec

call hen pecked.
