Brain and Drawn.

The American workman may be
paid more money for the time he is
employed than the workmen of other
countries, but he is the cheapest, be-
cause his work is the best. The reason
for this is owing to the fact that he
thinks for himself, and thinks intelli
gently. Unlike his foreign brethren,
he is not d mere machine, doing only
what he is directed to do; he contrives
methods of his own, and, thereby, not
only lessons his own labor but in
creases his value to his employer
His superior position is due to his
educational advantages, which are
leading him to a condition whereby
universal peace is bound to come in
his sphere. The first important step
in that direction has been taken in
Columbus, Ohio, where the skilled
mechanics and the manufacturers
have banded together under a solemn
promise that there shall be no more
strikes. or lockouts. They are pledged
to submit every difference, which
cannot be settled by informal discus
sion, to board of arbitrators, con-
sisting of representatives of the two
classes, and to abide by their decision.

The moor baths which are provided
at many Austrian and German health
resorts, were first used at FranZens-
bad In 1923 DR.. Poschmann, q physi-
clan there, believed that he had found
in them a new curative medium, and
they have since become popular. Some
physicians still question their efficacy,
while others in Austria and Germany
rely upon them to render good service
in many maladies. Though the bath
is composed of peat, or moor earth. to
which enough water has been added to
make a thick paste of the mass, yet
the peat is different from that which
is extracted from a bog in Ireland or
Scotland.
In both Ireland and Scotland the peat
is used as fuel. At Franzensbad the
mineralized peat will not serve such
purpose. The bog from which it is ex-
tracted has been saturated throughout
countless ages with mineral water, and
the product is a strong chemical COM
pound Thus moor bath is mineral
bath in a concentrated form, and eff
fects are produced upon the system by
taking a course of these baths which
cannot be produced, according to ex-
perts. by any mineral water.-Black.

One Use of Automobiles.

The cost of harvesting wheat on the
Pacific coast has been so lessened, by
the use of automobiles, that greater
amount of the grain can be produced
at the same actual expense than in the
Argentine Republic, where labor costs
only fraction Of a dollar day. The
large automobile traction engines,
now used in California, are of fifty
horse power. and are provided with
driving wheels sixty inches in diam
eter. They do the blowing, planting,
and harvesting in their proper seasons.
One traction engine performs the
triple work of blowing, narrowing,
and planting, in one operation.-Suc-

"Oh, George, what have you been

More Men Wanted,

The bureau of navigation, this year,
will ask congress to increase the en-
listed strength of the navy by three
thousand men. With the recent COM
pletion Of three battleships and the
prospective completion of several
more now under construction, it has
become imperative that there be a
corresponding increase in the enlisted
personnel. At the present time, the
navy lacks five thousand men of the
authorized quota Of twenty five thou
sand. The recent recruiting of the
United States steamship "Alvarado,"
along the southern coast, was not sue
cessful. We take pleasure in bringing
these facts to the hundreds of able
bodied men who write US that they
are willing to do any kind of work,
but cannot find anything to do.-Suc

Forty Million Dollars.

Americas latest invasion has dis
rupted the ancient glass blowing in
dustry of Belgium. An American
firm has paid forty million dollars for
the principal glass blowing business
in that country. Consequently, there
is new impetus against American
methods, and the Belgian parliament
has been asked to ''keep the rascals
out" The decline in the glass indus
try in Belgium, and its wonderful
facilities for continuing it, led the
American investors to save it.-Suc

An Education in Doing the Chores.

Those terrible chores! Most boys,
especially country boys, dread to do
chores. They look upon them as a
nuisance which interferes with their
fuu, as disagreeable tasks to be gotten
rid of as quickly as possible.
AS a matter of fact, however, nearly
everything which a country boy is
called upon to do is preparing him for
healthy and wholesome success in
the future. The varie ty of his work,
which is nearly always out of doors,
develops the differ emit faculties,
teaches regular habits, and tends to
build up a robust constitution. In
after life the man will find that the
sta nina and force, which enable him
to undertake and accomplish great
things, are largely results Of the dis
cipIine Of doing chores when he was a
boy.-Success.
