Turning a Crank.

Turning a crank is less fatiguing than
hammering. 1t is estimated that the
daily work developed by man hammer
ing is about 100000 foot pounds, while
in turning a crank he develops 100000
foot pounds.
1t consequently follows that turning a
crank with resistance well balanced with
a fywheel is a better way of utilizing Il
mans strength than by direct hammer

Life May Be Healthy and Prolonged.
1t is the kind of work in which n man
is engaged which determines for him tbe
special meaning of the term deficiency
The success of his efforts may depeno
upon the quantity of his output. or il
may depend upon its quality Quality
Quantity! Upon these two hing all tile
laws of efficiency.
For each Of us it is possible TO increo 60
the duration of his best moments and 10
render them more frequent. 1t is also
possible Tor us to reduce the number and
the length of those periods of depression
and low vitality when our work miscar-
ries and our lives lack snap and epthu-
slasm. II we succeed III bringing about
such Il change we shall have raised the
whole plane of our living to something
higher and more admirable. Our work
will be productive of results that would
otherwise have been quite beyond our
reach.
There are conditions for each individu-
nj under which he can do the most and
the best work. 1t is his business to as
certain those conditions and to comply
with them.
1t is useless for the nervous, high
strung, quickly fatigued man to try TO

conditions under which the two men pro-

ought to stick to his job, when once he
has got it, as long as he can keep up to
the high grade level. That is the only
real economy Tor him. On the other
hand, the man who acc0mplishes most

tervals of play between times ought not
to feel that he is doing wrong when he

can do high grade work, but not under

Every man ought to discover the spe-
cial conditions of his own best work

there is a waste somewhere. Nothing is
gained and much is lost through trying

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
