M. ST. P. & P. R. R. EMPLOYEES: Perhaps there is no greater service that can be rendered entployees of any organization than aid in pre­ venting sickness. Disease prevention depends, primarily, upon maintaining body resistance-keeping fit. March and April are the danger months-colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, rheumatism, grippe, etc., cause 60ro of loss of time from illness-in fact, illness of all types finds 60% of its original cause in the common cold. Science has demonstrated that in SUNSHINE are found the elements which best keep the body fit and able to combat disease. But we can not have SUNSHINE every day-most of us are indoors, anyhow, and can't get it when the sun does shine-and even if we could be out in the SUNSHINE our clothing will not permit enough absorption to do muoh good, and so science has given to us the ULTRA-VIOLET SUN­ SHINE LAMP which the Bureau of Standards at Washington says gives us actual, natural SUN­ SHINE elements. The VITAL.ARC ULTRA-VIOLET LAMP meets every requirement of the/Bureau of Stand­ ards-an Ultra-Violet lamp must give a certain amount of both the Infra-Red and the Ultra-Violet if it cures your child of rickets, builds health, prevents illness. The VITAL.ARC gives a combination of all of the octaves of light, and in the right proportion. Milwaukee employees may secure this lamp at a courtesy discount given to the Milwaukee organi. zation-it is passed on to you-there is no profit to the Milwaukee organization other than in having rendered you a welfare service.

There are three trunk line railroads, and eight state trunk highways passing through the city, three of them being national high­ ways. Air mail service was added to the transportation facilities in 1928. Miles of concrete pavement are being added each year to the county highways and soon a network of concrete will cover the county of Dane.
