The Great Unrest" is theme
upon which many of the best intel
lects of our times are concentrated.
The cause and the ultimate effect
are both, as yet, seemingly but a
matter of conjecture, and although
various solutions have been offered
they are illogical, conflicting and
particularly lacking in those proper
ties which make for the real remedy
the final settlement.
1t is wholly apparent to everyone
that a mighty wave of restlessness
is engulfng the nations of the earth.
Dissatisfaction with existing condi-
tons is the prime cause. Loss of
faith in the justice aud honorable
intentions of established govern
ments: the mad race for wealth and
the jealous hatred occasioned there
by between the small purse and the
large; tie Jealous desire of part of
the people to dictate to the other
part their mode of. existence; the
failure of applied Christianity to ac-
complish, in any great measure, its
Divine mission, and the wholesale
loss of respect for all things sacred.
There are untold organizations
religious, social, political, fratetnal
who claim to possess the only true
solution-the real remedy, but until
the churches dispel the venomous
prejudices, the sect hatred from theil
midst ana unite their efforts: until
politics are Durged of corruption, Oh
III other words, rendered extinct
until the various fraternal organiza-
tons Especially the labor branch
are deprived of their arrogance and
absurd pretentions and are laugh,
respect for the rights of others, anC
until all men have lcayned to n6ldI
prosperity, there can be no repose.

Because there is lot of light in the
shops it does not apply that the shop
is well lighted. Over lighting may
be considered poor Sighting. The
amount Of eye strain and disorder
due to improper lighting is enor-
nous. 1T is stated that the reduc-
ton of efficiency of all classes of

less sweeping incapacitates many

dust that excite disease in the lungs
are also in many cases injurious to.
the bearings of machinery.
On account of the rapid growth of
intelligent interest in industrial eff
ticiency, it will be recognized that
the greatest waste product is the
neglect Of ventilation and regulation
OF the humidity, temperature, dust
and illumination. The profitable
study of the human machine in in
dustrv will show that this great
waste in human achievement is the
result of ignorance and encouraged
by Indifference. The request that
has been made to leaders of industry
to employ physician for the pur-
pose of examining such employees as
may appear to be in poor health is
one of the principles of efficiency
that will be generally recognized.
The enactment of, the workmen's
compensation act which has now be-
come law, together with the mini
mum wage act which is now being,
seriously considered will make this
proposition live issue.

of seoregating our periodical lunatlcs

The Child.

Have you ever noticed the eyes of
a child within few moments of it's
birth? If you have you must have
been impressed with their wondrous
significance-The curious look of
superior knowledge so rapidly chang
ing to one of wonder, as if at it's
novel surroundings, cannot fail to
cause you to think: Here is the re-
appearance of a human soul; a soul
that perhaps has lived and thought
and known many things, and you
cannot help but sometimes wonder
if in this its earthly probation it will
be the cause of veal or woe to those
who are going to love it.
/ 1t is said. that those whom the
Gods love, die young" but whether
their period of probation be long or
short the advent of new human
soul is always fraught with grave
potentialities. 1t may be the means
Of influencing the lives of many for
good or evil, or may lie that like the
Divine Child, soul perhaps is being
born that will leave its awful i'm
press on the human race through all
the ages. Yes verify one may think
of many things as one looks into the
eyes of the new born child.
In few moments, what a change!
The child becomes feeding animal
the expression now becomes one of
discomfort with it's surroundings and
from this on the child apparently is
governed by only one impulse i. e.:
| the desire for food.
All talk about the instructive love
of the child for it's mother is the
veriest nonsense. The child will
| love wet-nurse,. or even a nursing
! bottle, just as much and in precisely
/ the same way.
A little later the predominant
characteristic of the child is curiosi-
ty; and parents or guardians should
be extremely careful as to their ac-
tons or even language in Its pres
ence, but should remember that the
child, while usually secretiye about
those things which it thinks or fears
will offend its elders, is consumed
with an overwhelming desire to
know, and is inclined at all times to
initiate or ape its elders. The brain
of the growing child is remarkably
4 plastic and impressions are as easily
made upon it as on a cylinder OF
wax. An eminent divine once said

until it is seven years old and / care

Industrial Economy.

Our ordinary observation will
show that people who work in the
open air are less prone to tuberculo-
sis than those who work indoors.
Moreover there is more sickness in
the city than in the town. Would
1t not be tot the advantage of all con-
cerned if the factories were located
in the rural districts instead of~the
contested districts of our urban COM
munities?
Common experience will show
that work cannot be done so we'll in
a stuffy, foul smelling room, as it
can where the air is fresh and pure
and attention is paid to the regula-
ton of heat and moisture. Improp-
er ventilated rooms bring on head
ache, nausea and retard the employee
in his output by devitalizing his
energy and making him disspirited.
Men are observed to be in poor
health and to suffer from colds, in
digestion, inattention and host of
other ills when the trouble is that
they are breathing over and over
again the aroma covering from their
own bodies.
Sanitary ventilation, however, is
a complex problem. To supply
fresh air is not sufficient. 1t is
proven that chemical changes, that
is carbonate dioxide are not the
cause of sensations and symptoms
due to poor ventilation. The more
harmful impurities are largely due
to the decaying organic matter. We
have all of us enjoyed the bracine
effect of air after a thunder storm.
This is due to ozone. The pure
forests are fragrant with it and it is
always present in fresh air. Those
who are interested in the tubercu1o-
sis problem might consider its in
PRODUCTION into our industrial life.
1t is oxygen vitalized and is the most
powerful oxidizing agent known. 1t
is disinfectant and the most pow
erful deodorizer. known. Ozone is
now looked upon as remedy for
bad air conditions as when properly
applied it will purify air and check
the growth of disease germs. The
ozone machine can easily be attached
to ordinary electric fixtures. The
law now requires hygrometers to be
placed jn certain rooms in the tex
tile industry. where artificial moisture
is used and observations are required
to be made at certain hours and
records kept. A study is being
made of the effects of relative hui
midity in regard to health and in
dustry.
Unquestionably dusty trades are
to be considered most important as
disease producers but there are
other casual factors that would have
to be eliminated before we could
definitely state that a given trade was
the sole cause of industrial workers
paying such heavy tribute to dis
ease. It would be manifestly unfair
not to consider home environment
for il is generally known that tuber-
culosis is house disease.
Properly equipped hoods and ex-
haust fans are applicable to many of
these industrial occupations.
In the poisonous trades with the
use of phosphorus. lead, arsenic and
mercury we have more tangible
knowledge between occupation and
disease, as the effects are character
istic
Industrial conditions of today de-
mand the performance of large
amount of work, by artificial light.

up her hands in hopeless despair. The
kitchen with its great glowing fire
place was the housewives domain and
the general living room of the entire
family. The walls and the floor were
bare and the furniture meager and
comfortless. while the kitchen furnish
ings were odd and strange. 1t was in
this great cavernous chimney that the
Pilgrim wife cooked her thanksgiving
