C '' ' %w'\ ' XN'\'>' C The tools shown above can really be referred to as "kill ers,” and such tools have con tributed to numerous personal injuries here at Ecusta. A small piece of steel off a "mushroom ed” tool can be as powerful and deadly as a bullet, and will of tentimes embed itself as much as three inches deep in one’s arm or leg. Too, a slipping wrench or a glancing hammer have been known to inflict seri ous body injuries. We can play safe by repairing or replacing such killers.” Greater Dividends Through Safety! Never will we realize great er dividends from any one un dertaking than that of training ourselves to live, play, and work safely at all times. We must also bear in mind that it is just as easy and much more profitable to develop safe practice habits, as it is to develop unsafe ones . . . that the safe way is always the right way . . . and that those of us who Mere to safe practices will live much longer afid suffer less. It is well to remember that safety is for our sake, and that the prevention of personal in juries is forever being stressed with this one thought in mind: "That the workman shall live to enjoy the fruits of his labor; that his mother shall have the comforts of his arm in her age; that his wife shall not be un timely a widow; that his child ren shall have a father; and that cripples and helpless wrecks who were once strong men, shall no longer be a 'by-product’ of in dustry.” KEEPING FIT Brush your teeth regularly and go to your dentist twice a year —Take a daily bath and wash your hands good before eating —Eat plenty of fruit and vege tables, and drink a pint of milk a day. Get enough sleep so that you feel fit every morning— Dress for the weather and your job, and have your work clothes laundered twice a week—If you have a pain, see your doctor; Patent medicines deaden pain, but they do not remove the cause—Once a year go to your doctor for a complete physical examination. SUNBURN GET SUNTANNED GRAD UALLY/ There is little excuse for taking the chance of a seri ous burn that will put you flat on your back in agonizing dis comfort. Expose yourself to the sun for short periods at a time until your skin has a chance to adjust itself or, in other words, until nature protects you with a good coat of tan. A good coating of "sunburn” oil or ointment, well rubbed in, before exposing yourself will help to prevent burning.
