Breathe through the nose: The organisms of the nose are directly in connection with the lungs, whereas those of the mouth and throat are connected with the stomach. Breathing through the nose is therefore most beneficial. 14. Importance of regular bowel move ments: Retarded bowels are a source of infection to the entire system. 15. Take no medicine without advice of a physician: One cannot be too care ful in the taking of medicine. No one except an experienced physician can pre scribe correctly for you. You may take headache powders to cure a headache, with injurious results, because you should be taking other medicine to cure another ailment which is causing the headache. Mr. Long, Mr. Mauldin, and Mr. John son, and will give you their answer in the next issue of the Bulletin. “One of our painters stepped off of a thirty-foot ladder backwards yester- day.” “You don’t say, hurt him much?” “No, he happened to be on the bottom rung.” Mr. A. G. Long—B. D. Mauldin— T. T. Johnson Some of the boys working on the seven o'clock shift and eleven o’clock shift, since checking over the weekly tab ulations for the month of October, which shows the number of accidents occurring in each potroom> their cauge, and the shift during which the injury occurred, have asked “why has the three o’clock shift more injuries this month than either the eleven o’clock shift or the seven o’clock shift?” I an passing the word on to Experience Teaches On September 7, Willie Roberson, No. 12405, while working in pitch room of carbon plant, suffered an extremely painful injury to his eyes. At the time of accident, Roberson was not wearing his goggles, although he had been warned and cautioned on several occasions be fore that it was absolutely essential from a safety standpoint to wear his goggles at all times while handling pitch. But as Rol-erson was an old-timer on the job, and had been working in the pitch room for the past two years, and had been lucky enough not to have had any pitch dust in his eyes before, he decided that wearing goggles was all foolishness. Re sult was that he suffered considerable pain and the loss of five weeks’ time. We are glad to say he is back on the joib again now, and you can bet he wears his goggles. Roberson says experience teaches a good lesson; but it reaps too large a reward. He now firmly believes that one ounce of prevention is worth ten pounds of cure.
