THE maximum number of hours Of
labor may not always bring the max
imum of production. Scientific ctfic-
iency experts have proved that short

often result in increased production.
Nearly al. corporations and large en-
ployers OF women workers have
learned that by making adequate pro-
vision for the care of their employees,
their efficiency is increased.
Gives Four Essential Rules.
THE woman in business should re-
mcmher that within certain limita-
tons her well being rests largely in
her own hands.
There are four essentials to good
health: Light hours sleep in the
fresh air, regular exercise, sensible
clothing and wholesome food. With
out these neither men nor women can
maintain their physical well being
fer any lengthy period.
NO woman should try working on
her nerves. This may be kept up
for quite a while when pleasure or
the demands Of business temnt ono
to rob themselves of the necessary
amount of rnsl Invariably one mus,
foot the bills, so. In the end the re-
action is apt to prove dangerous.
AT this season of the year thous-
ands Of women are working under
continual strain. They should rec
ognize this and for the time being cut
pleasures and devote themselves to
getting sufficient rest outside of
working hours to carry them through
the stress Of the holiday business
conditions. Better. too. few per-
sOnal preparations for Christmas

CHICAGO. Dec. films the prohi.
bition wave reached its flood or will il
sweep the country? Is The present
furious fighting the battle Of the
Marine or the stormng of prizrend?
This question is brought lorctbly
Forward by the remarkable record OF
The drys in 1915 and by the news re-
ports received from almost every
state telling of the arduuus prcpara-
ton made by both sides in The con-
dict for the critical campaign Of 1915.
Nineteen states now have dry laws.
OF these seven ARKANSAS, Washing

South CarolinaJ haze enacted pro

Prohibition leaders are flushed with
victory. In the year 1916 SIX states
vermont, Michigan. South Dakota,
Nebraska, Montana. California; and
probably a seventh tFlOridaJ will vote
on prohibition. The dry generals as
sert they viii capture IL large propor-
ton of these, besides gaining victories
IN local option fights in every COM
monwealth of the union not already in
the dry column.
On the other hand, the brewers
and distillers call to attention the
fact that in 1880 a prohibition wave
dashed nearly as high as this one.
Between 1850 and 1860 twelve states
llllinOis, Massachusetts. Rhode Is
land. and Vermont, Connecticut. Della
ware, Indiana, Iowa. Michigan Neh-
raska, New Hampshire and New York
enacted prohibition and later Kansas
and both the Dakotas had joined the
dry ranks.
The movement soon died out, all
except three OF the dry states repeal
ing or amending their laws to such
an extent as TO make them iuopera-
tive. The three states that remained
dry were Maine, Kansas and North
Dakota.
The liquor magnates say they de-
tcct signs that the present movement
is In the same state as the previous
one was just twenty-five years ago.
Throughout the country they say. a
reaction is setting in.
The brewers declare their efforts
