SOME HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

The eating, sleeping, and drinking
performance of people who have
amounted to something in the world
never seem to lose their interest for
many curious minded persons, who
perhaps hope to wrest the secret of
worldly success from a close study of
such processes. 1t is delightful
therefore, to have So highly an or

mind, and body that constitute be-
ing, it IS sometimes hard to tell
which of the three is at work." and
that the personality of each of the
three parties interferes a good deal
with that of each OF the others" Dr.

the most exacting brain work of the
day is done. notice he calls latter

lieves is the proper time for those
terrible bored meetings which have

When sick persons are cared for by
some member of the family, wise
plan is to write down the doctors
directions, and to keep a record Of
the case from hour to hour, and day
to day. Some physicians are wise
enough to request some such record
as the amount of food, the kind, and
hour at which it is given, the pulse,
temperature, and respira ton, the
condition of the bowels, and facts
concerning sleep. If left to the mem
DRY, such important matters are apt
to be reported inaccurately.
To count the pulse pass the fingers
down the front of the arm from the
base of the thumb to little below
the wrist, and take the number of
beats for one minute, as often there

WAGES OF FARM LABOR

Secretary Rusk has published re-
port on the wages of farm labor in the
United States, being a compilation of
the results Of statistical Investigations
from 1868 to 1892, with extensive in
quiries concerning wages from 1910 to
1863. The tables show that in 1866
monthly farm wages, without board,
were as follows:
In eastern states, $33.31; middle
states. S2988; southern states, $1683;
western states. $27S4; mountain states,
1927 2S; Pacific states, ,$44 60;the average
being $26S7. Wages were lowest in
1879. when the average was $40 C5.
Since they have slowly increased year
by year, until at present they are: In
eastern states, $2S 4S; middle states
$28 33; southern states, $l4 S8; western
1922 81; mountain, $33 Is; Pacific, $685.
the average per month for the whole
year being SlS60.
The report says that "a careful anal.
ysis of all the data collected concerning
farm wages from 1910 to 1855, In COM
parison with results of the more recent
investigations, will show that in fifty
years the compensation of farm labor
ers has very nearly doubled.
In comparison with the other cOun.
tries American farm labor stands first
in rate Of compensation. The pr esent
rate of $282 per annum for labor of the
Caucasian race can scarcely be ap.
preached by any country unless by
Australia.
An average of other countries cannot
be authoritatively stated, but current
estimates have been frequently quoted
about as follows: Great Britain, $3.50
France, SIs5; Holland, 800; Germany
$50; Russia, $50; Italy $50; India, $50.
"The present rate can only be main.
tanned by keeping up the fertility OF
the soil, utilizing the best res ults oi
invention and skill in implements and
machinery, advancing the status OF
practical agriculture, supplying al
domestic demands for all required pro
ducts and seeking foreign markets foI
the surplus."

Weakness of itself is not a disease, and
yet it is an ailment that is most distress
ing. We admire strength but we pity
weakness. Weakness is the effect of dis
ease. 1t is the last weapon of the grim
monster before he lays his victim in the
grave. Weakness, like pain, is warning
that the system is out of order, that the

means the blood is impoverished, the di-
GeStiOn is poor, the appetite is gone, the
system is ClOgged and the various tunC'

port as Secretary Of the Russian Fam
Inc Relief Commission with accom-
panying report of Miss Alice French,
Secretary of the WOman's Auxiliary to
the Red Cross.
Iregret that in this brief acknowl-
edgment am unable to convey to the
people of our state a limited knowl-
edge even of the great labor which
yourself and Miss French, and those
who have acted with you have per-
formed in carrying to successful re-
suit charity magnificent in its pro-
portions and grand beyond expression
because it had for its accomplishment
no incentive save that of universal
sympathy for suffering humanity
which is the foundation of all that Is
unselhshly good in the character Of
men.
l am sure do not exaggerate when
I assure you the world in all its history
has witnessed few examples OF more
genuine pity for the sorrows OF others
than that displayed by the people of
Iowa in their generous donation OF
thousands of dollars in money and
many thousand tons of food for the re-
lief of starving millions to whom they
are bound by no tie whatever save that
which unites the great brotherhood OF
man.
And to those who furnished these
princely gifts no greater praise Is due
than to the men who control the long
lines of transportation and great store
houses that received our offerings OF
food and at large cost to their compa'
MES. but without fee or reward from
any source, consigned them to the care
of the ocean steamer which the charity
of the good people of the capitol city
of our nation had placed at our disposa
to bear them away on their mission OF
mercy.
To each and every one who assisted II
the accomplishment Of this great worl
| all Iowa Is grateful, and in her behalf
permit me to tender you, one and all
