Points of Good Health.

II you want to be pretty and are en-
ployed in an office or factory. try to
make it point to open the windows
and thoroughly air the room two or
thhee times a day.
Stand straight. hold your shoulders
back, and give yourself chance to be
healthy woman.
Don't be afraid of water Drink
plenty of it, and take as many baths as
you can. Learn a few physical culture
exercises and practice them night and
morning.
When tired or run down a handful of
sea salt or few drops of ammonia add
ed to the bath is an excellent restora-
tive.
Good pure milk is nutritious and
flesh-forming. Take q glass of hot milk
the last thing at night if troubled with
insomnia, or if you wish to gain flesh
Milk must always be taken slowly

if these muscles are held in their nor
NAL position. Do not allow them to be-

esting to you, but if you follow these
few suggestions you will be healthier

Mighty Feet.

The conversation turned on big feet,
when one of the company said he be-
lieved his pal Smith would take some
beating in that line.
Il was out walking with Smith ono
day when he slipped down with the
soles of his boots pointing to a grocer
window. The grocer rushed out to in

The UNEMPLOYED.

In the plight of the UNEMPLOYED
! there are several considerations besides
! the mere fact of idleness. There is. for
| instance, sharp distinction between
! the unemployed and the unemployabIe;
some men won't work. There is always
| comparative lack of work in midwinter
due to bad weather and the slack season
in certain industries. and there are
many workmen caught in the cogs of
new machinery and new methods of
production whose hard bought trades
are a drug in market no longer bid
ding for handicraft where machinecraft
is quicker and cheaper-men who must
suffer as they adjust themselves to a
new order. These things are not pecu-
liar to this winter, but they add to its
total of unemployed.
The number now out of work is vari-
ously estimated. 1t has not been count
ed nor can il be compared exactly with
the number in other years, for America
has no substitute for the police registra-
ton of European cities. A committee
in charge of the relief situation of Chi
cago gives 10000 as conservative guess
for that city of many seasonal occupa-
tons. In New York estimates made by
Frank Julian Warne from few au-
thoritative figures on typical trades in
dictate $4,000 idle members of trades
unions in addition TO non-union workers.
and a minimum of $4,000 homeless men
besides. The number of homeless men
is based on the total number of beds
in free and cheap lodging houses, and as
all of these are crowded, ii is probably
near right. The commissioner of pub
lie charities has stated that there are
normally 10000 homeless men in New
York at this time of year. OF other fig
ures one may take his choice. Numbers
count for little, for, as has recently been
pointed out, it is not the number who
are idle, but the ability of the idle to
meet the situation, that counts. One
hundred thousand men temporarily idle
but able to take care of themselves and
their families make a problem slight in
comparison with possible situation in
volving one-tenth as many both idle
and dependent.
The demands on municipal lodging
houses, charitable societies, churches,
and employment bureaus. the long
bread Lines, the men walking the Bow
cry at night, the scramble for the
snowshovels in the STRENGTHENING
gangs. the falling off in deposits at the
savings banks-a score of bad-times
barometers give evidence of unemploy-
ment greater than has been known
since the winter of 93-94.-From "The
Man Out of Work Today" by Arthur
P. Kellogg, in the American Review of
Reviews for March.

Misunderstood.

Perhaps it were better for most of us
to complain less of being misunder-
stood and to take care that we don't
misunderstood other people. 1t ought
to make us pause at times to remember
that each one has a stock of cut-and-
dried judgment on his neighbors, and
that the chances are most of them are
quite erroneous. What our neighbor is
we may be pretty certain that he is
not what we have imagined, and that
many things we have thought of him
