January 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 43 CURTAILED SLEEP IS TUBERCULOSIS' ALLY State Health Director Shows How Lack of Rest and Diet- ing Lowers Resistence Short sleeping hours, no breakfast, a light lunch and little dinner make slender figures all right but it adds an ugly total under the debit column of the mortality sheet, says I. D. Rawlings, Illinois state health director. Habits like these are pretty well confined to girls in the teens and to young women. Among this age group of the female sex tuberculosis kills 42 per cent more individuals than among the males of the same age. Last year in Illinois tuberculosis was charged with 1,402 fatalities among females between 10 and 35 years of age and only 983 among the males of that age. Cut down the gas supply to a thin, lean mixture and the automobile en- gine will cough and sputter along at a great rate. Thin it down a bit more and add some weight to the load and the engine will refuse to go. The thinner the gas the less the cost until it gets too thin and then she refuses to work at all. That's just what happens with the human body. The muscles and nerves require energy to perform their functions and the only source of that energy is the food in- take. The body has a wide margin between too much and too little food but there is such a thing as going too far in either direction, Males and females lose sleep alike but the female alone cuts down her food supply with the hope of a slender figure, Males and females both work in offices, stores and factories but the female more frequently adds house- keeping to her daily routine. Fatigue pursues the male and the female alike but it overtakes the female first and leaves her more grudgingly. These are the factors that make tuberculosis more prevalent and more fatal among girls and young women than among the males. Mortality from tuberculosis is al- most exactly twice as great among girls than among boys in the 15 to 20 age group. Last year the fatality count in Illinois was 146 males to 291 females. That is the very age group when unhygienic habits are most apt to be practiced with the greatest aban- don for consequences. Common ignorance where common sense otight to be is really the basic cause of a large percentage of tuber- culosis. Folks who insist on robbing the body of the physiological require- ments of food, sleep and sunshine have only themselves to thank when nature sticks up her no trespassing sign that is spelled Tuberculosis.

Christian Science Churches "God" was the subject of the lesson- sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, January 1. The golden text was from II Samuel 7:22, "Thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee." Among the citations which compris- ed the lesson-sermon was the following from the Bible: "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might ; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all" (I Chron. 29:11-12). The lesson-sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe, Omni is adopted from the Latin adjective signifying all. Hence God combines all-power or potency, all- science or true knowledge, all presence" (pp. 465, 466).
