MARRIED HAPPINESS
RUINED BY QUARRELS
Families Are Broken Up Because of Nerves
Doctors claim a man or woman
with a 6trong nervpus system' has
complete control of happiness.
It is only those who are played
out by overwork, worry; excesses,
and thoughtless dissipation that are
quarrelsome and disappointed in
life. Do not condemn them, their
nerves are starved, they are depleted
cf life and energy and no thought
is given to supply them with food
nerve energy to make them calm,
strong and controlable.
The foolish waste of nerve force
turns a cheerful happy person to
the grouch that acounts for so many
separations.
Nature requires aid and Phos
phated Iron is necessary in such
conditions of nervousness, because
it contains the vital elements of iron

LUMP PAYMENTS
NOT ENCOURAGED
Compensation Board Plans to
Bring the Matter to Atten
tion of the Public
Investigation of all workmen's
compensation awards commuted or
permitted to be made in a lump
sum paymont to a Pennsylvania
worker permanently injured in an
it lustrial accident will be made by
the Workmen's Compensation Board
of the Department of Labor and In
dustry.
Instructions, calling for this com
plete census of all commuted pay
ments of workmen's compensation
have been given by the Workmen's
Compensation J3oard to the adjust
ers of the Bureau as a step toward
restoring permanently injured em
ployes to suitable tasks in industry.
The Board has announced that it
will discourage lump sum payments
of compensation, excepting when the
claimants desire to use such com
muted funds in the purchase of ar
ticial appliances or for occupational
training to equip themselves for their
old tasks or a new occupation.
The census ordered by the Com
pensation Board to obtain the his
tories of all commuted cases during
the twq and one-half years that the
Board has been in existence is the
first action of this kind taken by any
compensation board or industrial
commission of the United States in
an effort to replace permanently
disabled men In industry at proper
tasks.
The Compensation Board has also
instructed its adjusters to investigate
every case of permanent injury, in
cluding amputations, in which- com
pensation has been paid or is being
paid. In this manner the Board will
endeavor to keep in personal touch
with all permanent victims of in
jury ana to give every aid toward
their rehabilitation for economic in
dependence ,
It is estimated that there are from
2,000 to 3,000 such cases in Penn
sylvania now covered by compensa
tion agreements. It is believed that
a large percentage of these cases
can, by proper direction, be returned
to industry at a benefit both to the
injured men and to Industry itself.
Workmen's compensation agree
ments, approved by the Pennsyl
vania Workmen's Compensation
Board in 1917, included the follow

EHCONOMY in buying clothes is not in paying less money
I but in getting more value. The economy in buying Society Brand
Clothes comes in the gaining of finer hand workmanship than others,
not only where you can see it, but also where you can't. Sometime dur
ing the life of the garment it will manifest its presence—by keeping the
shape, by wearing better, and by holding the stylish effect till the very
goods wear out. For that kind of economy buy Society Brand Clothes.

Health Authorities Alarmed at Increasing Death "Rate
Each Year From Kidney Diseases
In bur pursuit of the mighty dol
lar, wo too often are absorbed in the
topics of the day, pleasure, etc., to
stop and consider our health. Stop
now—think —kidney diseases caused
100,000 deaths last year. Are you
going to be included in this year's
toll? Why, you will exclaim, do so
many die, why are the health au
thorities so concerned; the answer
is, we bolt down our food, take no
exercise, neglect our sleep and
otherwise subject our system to all
sortf of pbuse. Is it any wonder
then the kidneys become diseased
and fail in their duties of poison
elimination?
Poisons are constantly being cre
ated in our bodies and if -the kid
neys fail to carry them off they are
absorbed by the blood, causing ill

headaches, backaches, tired feeling,
