PLAY SAFE
There is no question but what a
healthy body is the biggest asset
any person can have. It is neces
sary to success in life save only
in exceptional cases, and it is up
on a foundation of health that hap-'
piness is built.
Modern science makes it possible
to play safe with certain contag
ious diseases and only a fool will
gamble with anything so precious as
his health.
The value of immunization against
typhoid fever approaches vaccination
against smallpox in its effective
ness. Evidence shows that immuniza
tion against typhoid in the U. S.
Army and Navy practically eliminated
this dread disease as a cause of
death during the World War. The in
cidence of typhoid fever^in the
A.E.F. was less than O.lfa -- a tru
ly remarkable record when compared
with the annual admission rate dur
ing the Civil War of 70.69 per 1000
and of 91.22 per 1000 during the
Spanish-American War.
Rather convincing, those figures.
For the purpose of having a per
manent pictorial record of the es
tablishment and building of this
project for the school, it is asked
that anyone with good representative
pictures call at the PIONEER office.
The right to reproduce (from the
films so that all pictures will be
— of uniform size) will be greatly ap
preciated, and the editor assumes
the responsibility of seeing that
all negatives so loaned are return
ed to their owners.
And now how about coming in and
getting some books and magazines?
With the last big. box, brought out
from Anchorage by Miss Rachel Hunt,
we find that we are being crowded
out of house and home. Come in and
stock up on reading matter.
It seems a shame, but it is nev
er-the-less true, that the thought
less action of one of the rehabil
itated families will reflect upon
the earnestness and integrity of
the entire colony.
The eyes of the world are on us,
and the future of many families may
be influenced by the degree of suc
cess the project attains.

the Anchorage Hospital on Wed
