tinue his march to victory.

Make Your workmen ComfortsUse.

A manufacturer, in gossiping about
the best ways of handling workmen,
says that the nature of the floor of the
shop has great deal to do with the
amount Of work that is got out of the
operative staff. He was once struck by
the difference in the apparent activity
of two sets of men working On similar
jobs at the wise in two rooms of large
shop. One was in an old building and
the other was in one of recent construc-
ton. In the former the men stood easily
and naturally at their work and showed
no symptoms of a laundering for q seat
on the bench, while in the latter the
men were shifting their weight from
one foot to the other, throwing one leg
upon the bench at every opportunity
and showing every evidence Of foot ia
tigue. The superintendent guessed that
the difference was due to the floors upon
which the two gangs Of men were stand
ing. In the old shop the floor was Of
wood, springy to certain extent and a
poor conductor Of heat. In the new
shop it was of the most beautiful con-
crete, an excellent conductor of heat
from the feet of the workman and as
unyielding as granite rock. So the
benches in the new shop were raised
couple Of inches and each man
was given platform Of wood that
rested on two crosspieces at the end and
had slight spring to it. The foot

and no further trouble was experienced.

not always the best for the workmen.
