Singing Solidarity Forever, Passaic County, 1926
Strikers raise their fists and sing as they march down a street during the Passaic Textile Strike, 1926. One striker wears a military uniform. <br /><br />Photograph is marked for cropping. <br /><br />The I.W.W. song "Solidarity Forever" was sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body." The words, written by Ralph Chaplin, begin, <br /><br /><em>When the Union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,</em><br /><em>There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;</em><br /><em>Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?</em><br /><em>But the Union makes us strong.</em><br /><br />Chorus: <br /><em>Solidarity forever, solidarity forever,</em><br /><em>Solidarity forever, for the union makes us strong.</em>

Chores of Modern Health Crusaders
Poster depicting the eleven Chores of Modern Health Crusaders. These eleven health chores set out the essentials of tuberculosis prevention and general hygiene. They were part of a public health campaign devised by Charles De Forest of the National Tuberculosis Association.<br /><br />The chores include:<br /><br />1. I washed my hands before each meal to-day.<br />2. I washed ot only my face but my ears and neck and I cleaned my fingernails to-day.<br />3. I kept fingers, pencils and everything likely to be unclean or injurious out of my mouth and nose to-today.<br />4. I brushed my teeth thoroughly after breakfast, and after the evening mean to-day.<br />5. I took ten or more slow deep breaths of fresh air today. I was careful to protect others if I spit, coughed or sneezed.<br />6. I played outdoors or with windows open more than thirty minutes to-day.<br />7. I was in bed ten hours or more last night and kept my windows open.<br />8. I drank four glasses of water, including a drink before each meal, and drank no tea, coffee, nor other injurious drinks to-day.<br />9. I tried to eat only wholesome food and to eat slowly. I went to toilet at my regular times.<br />10. I tried hard to-day to sit up and stand up straight; to keep neat, cheerful and clean-minded; and to be helpful to others.<br />11. I took a full bath on each of the days of the week that are checked (x).
