There is one other very strong rea-

state that that is purely from the
standpoint of the wageworker, in that
1t would be unfair TO the wageworker
to have compulsory arbitration There
is a clean cut dividing line between
profit and loss which the employer can
show from his records to any board Of
arbitration that sits upon any question
in dispute. He can demonstrate from
his records through that clean cut di-
viding line between profit and loss the
conditions and circumstances and the
terms under which 1t would be loss
to him to operate. That would act as
q protection against any unfair de-
cision being rendered as it applied to
the employer. But the standard of liv-

KEEP YOUR TEMPER.
IL Will Save Your Heart From a Lot Of
Unnecessary Strain.

Z
Unnecessary Strain.
DR.. ]. Strickland Goodall, in re
cent address before the Institute of
Hygiene, illustrated the enormous pow
er of the human heart in a striking
way. He told his hearers to take a
two pound weight in the palm of the
hand, resting the elbow upon q table,
and raise and lower 1T from the level
of the elbow TO the shoulder. This Is
exactly the work done by the heart at
each beat Do this about seventy or
eighty times a minute and see how
long you can keep 1t up. The heart
keeps 1t up from before birth to just
after death, perhaps seventy years. 1t
never takes rest 1t never sleeps.
At each contraction the heart does
enough work to lift a two pound
weight one foot. The heart OF a young
and healthy person is almost immune
to weariness or strain. But If its mus
cles be weakened by the accumulation
of body poisons or by anaemia it is
very easily strained. The heart has
been known to break from the strain
of sudden emotion. Anger will in
crease the work of the heart from 152
to 224 foot pounds minute. There
fore, as the Scientific American says,
Keep your temper is good physio-
logical advice"
Running to catch a train, running up
stairs or any sudden and unusual ex-
ertion puts a great extra strain upon
the heart The healthy heart of youth
is equal to such strains; not so the
heart that has been weakened by dis
ease, dissipation or old age. DR.. Good
all tested the heart of a healthy man
before he ran to catch q train; it was
beating 76 to the minute and doing
152 foot pounds Of work minute. He
tested it Immediately after the run; it
was beating $50 to the minute and do
ing $50 foot pounds of work a minute.

Vampire Bats.

Fairly large bats are the vampires Of
New Guinea, which alight on any pro
jecting part Of the body, in prefer
ence the toes, into which they bite

to suck the blood. They fan the wound
with their wings-to deaden the pain
the natives say-and the victim seldom

blood as they can, fly away and dis
gorge 1t and then return for more.

The expression to get into a scrape'
referred at one time to any one who
fell into deer run in the forest.
When deer run wild in the forest they
frequently cut deep gullies among the
trees, due to their constantly running
backward and forward over the same
ground The cuts so made in the for
est were known as deer scrapes,"
and it sometimes happened that a
woodsman fell into them, to his great
danger.

Likely to Work Injustice to Both Sides

In recent speech Secretary of La

that where tnen are compelled to ac-

hscation for the employer and serriom
for the wage worker The latter, he
insisted. was further opposed to com
pulsory arbitration for the reason that
there was Il clear cut dividing line be-
tween profit and loss which the en-
ployer can show" but this was not true
with the worker. whose living stand
ards might be lowered and yet exc out

out these points rs follows:
