EVEN PRINTERS ARE WORKING
TO IMPROVE CONDITION MANKIND
AN excellent little book lias just been issued by the Inter
national Typographical union covering that great
labor organization’s battle against tuberculosis. At the
beautiful printers’ home which the union has built at great ex
pense at Colorado Springs and which it maintains for superan
nuated and worn-out members of the uaiqn, the most modern
means are employed in combatting the Great White Plague, and
with eminent success. This booklet tells about it. The Inter- 3
national union deserves great credit for this noble work. Local -
unions, of which there are more than 700, each has its tuber
culosis committee. These committees endeavor to enforce
cleanly working conditions, and the result has been a steadily
increasing healthfulness among printers. rWie booklet contains
a number of rules on “How to Keep Well,” which are here re
printed:
Keep clean.
Live * regular life.
Get plenty of sleep.
Keep your teeth clean and in good order.
Wear clean clothes and keep the feet dry.
Always wash your hands and face before meals.
If you wear custom-made clothes, be particular to learn where and by
whom the clothes are made—tjje character of the work room—and whether
or not the workers are clean. Do not wear clothes made in the a dark, dirty .
work room or by unclean workers. The union label is the best gurantee of
cleanliness.
Bathe frequently, if possible every morning. A warm bath with soap
once or twice a week is desirable, with a cold hath each morning, following
by a rubdown with a coarse towel.
Practice deep breathing regularly. Each morning when you get up,
take 12 deep, long, full breaths, and the same before you retire at night.
During the day, whenever you have an opportunity to go a door or window, or
gu out Oi uoors, practice ueep ureatning. Do noth breathe through the mouth.
Do not practice deep breathing indoors.
Join the “anti-spit” crusade. Advocate the enactment and enforcement
of laws prohibiting spitting on sidewalks, or crossings, or floors, or in street
cars br other conveyances.
Avoid mouth breathing. Breathe through your nose.
Do not moisten your finger or thumb with your tongue when you turn
the leaves of a book or handle money or papers.
Do not bite a chew of tobacco from another man’s plug, and do not per- ‘
mit others to bite yours.
Do not be afraid of the fresh air. Become an “open air crank.” Live
out of doors as much as possible. Kind all of your recreation in the open air.
Walk two or three miles daily, if it does not overtire you. If possible,
make it a point to take at least two weeks off each year and spend them in
the open air, night and day.
Insist upon cleanliness in your surroundings, whether in home, office,
shop or factory. Tuberculosis thrives upon dirt.
Do not patronize slovenly storekeepers or dirty stores. “Knock” the
dirty store and dirty storekeeper—"knock" hard; “ knock” persistently.

Seward is certainly chuck full of optoinism these days,
judging from the tone of the Gateway.
——-— :o:
Seattle miscreants scattered tacks in the streets and scores
of jitneys suffered. A tax, not tacks, is the remedy.
-:o:
Hurry along that railroad report, Air. W ilson, and give our
people something else to think about than imaginary griev
ances.

But few voters have thus far registered, but the probabili
ties are that most of them will do so in ample time to be able to
cast a ballot on Tuesday April 6.
——-:o:
1 lie result of the district court’s investigations at Mc
Laithy, in reference to the liquor question, is awaited by many
people with much interest, as it is likely to have considerable
bearing on the granting of future licenses at that place.

Right men luive tric’d to sit in Porfirio Diaz’s presidential
chair and a fit lias not yet been found. Poetic idealism alone
never has established sound government, nor lias mere political
ambition. They never will. Something elfie than dreams and
selfishness are necessary—facts which a lot of Americans would
do well to cuddle to their own bosoms.
--—-:o:
While we should be practical in our aims toward a better
and more beautiful life, we should never lose sight of the ulti
mate* goal. We must keep the ideal ever before us, and must
do nothing that interferes with its ultimate attainment.
In striving toward a more beautiful life we must not overlook
the.influence of the external things on the senses, and should
give attention to the’ small things of the household', as well as
the larger movements toward public beatu, doing large things
for small places, small things for large places, and better things
for all places
-:o:
The most amusing thing in the world is to see the powers
that be at Washington sending out half baked officials to in
vestigate us. Here we are after nearly a score of years and here*
we must remain while ninny-hammer after ninny-hammer
passes forth and backward with nose in the air and head inflated
with the gaseous nature of its emptiness to see us and to size us
up and to take notes of our failings to be reproduced for the
great ones of the east as might go forth a man from some New
York museum to study the flora and' faun and bugs of some
region.—Seward Gateway.
———-:o:—
Anticipating a big rush to Alaska this spring bunco men
are busily plying their vocation in the states, and many are
being victimized on various confidence schemes hatched for the
•urpose ot separating the* unsuspecting from their cnsli. The
ntest game worked was in Los Angeles where one C. B. Brown
dvertised for “500 men to go to Alaska to work in a mine, 50
cuts per hour to start, fare and board from Los Angeles; boat
tarts April tlie first.” A bonus of $5 was collected from each
ipplicant, who was told that work awaited him at Valdez.
A lien the police raided the place and it became known that the
vliole frame-up was a fake an angry mob stormed the office, but
t was too late, as the culprit had' flown and left no address be
lind.
-:o;
All admit that English merchant ships have the “right”
inder international law to deceive the enemy by sailing under
'alse colors. However, it is a question discussed even in British
lewspapers whether it is a practice conforming to the dignity
ind the pretensions of the “mistress of the seas.”
As far as the technical side of international law goes, decit
>y false colors could be carried still farther, even to a shift by
irmed vessels up to the time of actual combat The United
states navy regulations say “the use of a foreign flag to deceive*
m enemy is permissible, but it must be hauled' down before a
s'un is fired; and under no circumstnaces shall an officer com
nence an action, or fight a battle, without the display of the* na
tional ensign.” ***.
