Winter Hygiene
BY n. ADDiNoToN BRUCE,
Author OF The Riddle of Personality, -
Psychology and Parenthood," etc.

With the approach of winter many people
make changes In their mode Of living adverse
both to their physical and to their mental health
Also they develop certain mental attitul, that
likewise injurious.
One particularly common mistake is TO dwell
in anticipation on the uncomfortable sensations
accompanying the inevitable fall in temperature
that characterZes winter in northern chimes.
All sensations are intensified by thinking
about them. AND BY FEELING THEM IN AN
TICIPATION ONE is CERTAIN TO REACT
BADLY TO THEM WHEN THEY ARE ACT
TALLY EXPERIENCED.
Some people. indeed. develop in this way a
yeritable phoba, or abnormal dread OF winter
When they can AFFORD IL, they fee toward the
tropics at the first sting of the north wind.
IL their bank accounts too thin to allow
them to dodge the cold % winter by a southern
sojourn, they become "shutns." They wear
heavy clothing, turn on the Steamboat, and shut
tight their windows.
By thus doing they may, IT is true keep warm
But the chances are that they will also become
physically rundown and mentally inert
| Fresh air, all Of US should remember, is as
essential to health. and efficiency in the winter
as it Is in the summer. The organism at all
tunes OF the year requires a good supply of
oxygen. And the steam-heated apartment, house
office, or factory, in which the windows are kept
closed. cheats the organism Of this blood en-
riching substance.
Also the organism needs exercise i'm the win.

,. 5: Mcclure, founder of McClure's
Magazine, speaking not long ago to the
students Of the University of Washing
ton about the aims and ideals of his
publication, said, among other things:
The only business we leave to un-
trained men in America is the business
OF government. That is the most inn
portant work the magazine did, to call
attention to that"
If our attention was called in the direc.
ton indicated it has wandered some. The
main activity of organized society. gov
eminent, is still the object of neglect
and indifference.
The only lively interest we take in our
governors is to complain of them.
1t Is good form and makes interesting
reading to abuse the mayor and curse
the congressman, but it is most tiresome
to hear any one advocate some better
way to elect mayor or show us how to
choose filter legislators.
When man applies for q Job of bridge
building, Of railroad construction, of
managing department store, or of sup
erintending the sales of factory's pro-
ducts, we ask of him just one thing: Can
he do the business? He must prove his
ability. He must produce results.
We don't want him to make a speech,
we don't care fig for his views on the
tariff and the free coinage of silver, we
don't expect him to shake hands with all
the employees and show that he is good
fellow, and we don't care whether he
smokes or is divorced or is good to his
folks. All we are interested in is wheth-
er he can build the bridge or run the
store 80 as 10 show profit.
Unfortunately, public office Is the one
kind Of job where it takes one kind Of
talent to get the position and quite an
other kind to occupy it successfully. That
a man can go out and get votes has no
bearing whatever upon his fitness to be
alderman or sheriff. Very often the best
vote-getter Is the most incompetent gov
ernor.
And yet government bears on every
citizen. It means. shall your food be
poisoned. your tenements unsanitary,
your police venal and inefficient, your
courts unjust, your laws bad, your
schools poorly managed, your streets i'll
kept? It touches you at thousand
points.
And government does not have to be
autocratic, tyrannous and domneering to
be efficacious. Democratic America ought
to have as capable officials as military
Germany. All we need to do is to insist
that the officeholder be chosen because
of his training and fitness for the posi-.
ton and not on account of his party
stsnding nor his popularity"
We are making beginnings. Some
cities are hiring city managers, search
ing out experts for the place, whether
they be citizens Of the town or not, just
as railroad companies hire general man.
aeers with an eye single to their eff
cheney.
If only there were schools for public
officials, and il only we could have
trained experts in legislatures and city
councils, what world of waste and graft
would be saved us!
The curse of American politics is the
theory that public office is due.reward
for party activity.

Lemberg, the capital OF Galicia, has
fallen and the Austro-German forces
have achieved signal triumph. The
city was captured by the second army
after a furious battle. Sixty thou

The losses in this Galician campaign

An official statement from PetrOgrad
reports an important victory after a

successes are claimed.
