TINE girl who would be younger

i the long run to impress the obserV-
ers with the fact that these same years
have not yet taught her wisdom A
woman of 40 who affects the manners
of 20 brings those forty years into the
limelight by the process. She invites
criticism from the world at large, and
the world answers the r. s. v. r

VENTUATI TON
AND BUSINESS
: lyENr1LAT1oN as science haas. nevel
BY Wallace Rice.

VENTILATION as science has never
~ been fully developed, partly because
it is really modern discovery part
ly because the general ignorance of the
subject has not pointed out the need for
constant supply of fresh. clean air for
those who work with bodies or brains.
No man who is engaged in any occupa-
ton requiring mental concentration has
failed to notice that after few hours of
such work he becomes tired almost to the
point of exhaustion. 1t seems to him to
be nervous fatigue, since lying down for
spell brings none of the refreshment it
should AS a matter of fact, 1t Is because
his iabors have closged his system by
their products, and the lack of fresh air In
his Office has given him no chance to get
these products out of the body. He is self
poisoned from lack of oxygen.
Better than lying down to rest in such a
case is throwing open the windows wide
after turning on the steam in order to pre-
vent chill and taking in number of deep
breaths of the freshened air. Drinking
| water is also an excellent thing. since 1t
makes the insensibie perspiration. which
| is the chief vehicle next to the breath for
the withdrawal of body poisons, more CO
pious and increases the functional activity
| of the viscera.
The law has recognized the necessity for
a certain amount of air by prescribing a
| given number of cubic feet for every work.
| er in factory and store. 1t has been shown
| that the denial OF this amount of air
brings disaster and eventual death. But
| the employer generally. while conceding
| the main point, has not been able to real
| ize that long and wasting illness of
| subtle character is also brought about by
lack of air and that he is paying for the
labor of men and women more or less dis
eased, when little forethought on his
! part would give him healthy labor at all
| times.
Take any counting-room where the
| books Of great business are kept 1t is
well understood that an error in book
| keeping may cause endless trouble, and
that great number of errors may spell
| failure in whole or in part of the business
| itself.
i supplied the men at work on the books, If
a proper amount of pure water Is not al
ways on hand as well, there will be fail
ure of oxygenation. duiling OF the wits
i and an inevitable tendency to error.
/ coupled with a persistent inability to do
| the best work.
j Nothing is cheaper for an employer than
fresh air and fresh water for his employees.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS MADE
Movement Out of the Walla WalIa
District Very Active.

Wheat is now being shipped out of
the Walla Walla section in larger
quantities than has been done for
some time. Both the w. & c. R. and
o. r. & n. railroads have received
"empties" and these are being sent
to various points around the country
to be loaded with wheat for the coast
markets The wheat movement has
been very slow this year as the ship
pers have been unable to get cars to
accommodate the large grain crop,
says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
The w. & C. r. received 16 empties
yesterday and these are being sent to
various points on the road. These
cars are open but can be used for the
shipment of wheat.
The O. r. & N. loaded "a cars be-
tween Walla Walla and Pendleton
yesterday and these are being moved.
They were consigned as follows: Spof-
ford, cars; Blue Mountain, s.:
Downing, 81 Eastland, 4, and Havana
3.
Shippers state that wheat purchas-
ed in September is still in the. ware
houses and for this reason the market
has been poor, the dealers disliking
to tie up so much money in grain
with no chance to get 1t to market
even should the prices go up. If more
cars can be obtained, however, II is
thought that conditions will be better
