THE MAN WHO COULDN'T AFFORD
A VACATION.

No man or woman can work every
day, year In and year out, with no
change, no variety In his life, with
out either getting into a rut which
viii paralyze his finest and best facul-
ties, or breaking down altogether and
committing suicide on years of precious
life.
A great many people, especially in
cities, fail, lose their health, and become
mere apologies of the men and women
they might be If they knew how to take
care of themselves--if they were wise
enough to take vacation when they
need it, But they voluntarily cut
themselves off, year after year. from
the great source of power-nature.
They do not drink from the fountain
of vitality and eternal youth and en-
ergy in which the earth is constantly
itself. Buried in schemes of
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
dreams Of wealth and power and fame,
they grind away in an environment of
bricks and mortar in the sitting,

Women in Slaughter Houses.

Few people know to whas extent
woman is invading our great packing
houses. The number In the Chicago
stockyards has almost doubled In the
past year At the present time two
thousand women are employed there.
II Is true that little less than half
that number are engaged In the revolt
ing work described the majority be-
Ing employed In painting and labelling
cans, wrapping and packing soap and
butterine To such work the butchers
make no objection. says Luke Grant In
The World today But the number en-
gagged In the less pleasing occupation
is gradually being increased Last
summer the sausage makers at the
stockyards went on strike. The strike
was not sanctioned by the national Off
GERS Of the organization. and when the
men refused to return to work the
packers proceeded to fill their places
with women The union could not OBJ
ject. The men had struck without au-
thorlty. The women are at work to-
day, filling, linking and trimming sau-
sage. The men are seeking work.
What wages the women are paid is
known only to themselves and their
employers. They are Lithuanian peas
ant women. Few can speak the Eng
lish language. To organize them would
be practically impossible, even were it
advisable. which the union officials do
not believe. But at frequent intervals
a few men are laid off and few more
women hired. Can the union stop the
innovation?

closely within the hands of favored

erroneous one, In large part, almost
from the beginning. and II has no
doubt been a most mlschievous one in
many ways and at various times. Out
