The old.fashioned system OF cool

DISEASE Cured BY LIGHT

Abolishing That TIRED FEELING

w Ennui is very apparent in
people who frst try to learn

The work that counts most Is that
which is carried out under the most
favorable conditions. Where the
guardians Of labor. the employers.
the foremen, the pedagogue and the
directors see to II that fresh air, good
light, fine physical and sanitary sur
roundings prevail, there fatigue and
inefficiency are rare manifestations.
Even drills and group work should
be surrounded with the proper safe
guards and comforts. The writer has
witnessed the efficiency double and
all fatigue disappear among a
platoon Of exercising policemen upon
the falling OF slight but grateful
shower Of breezy rain.
Finally, in consolation to every.
body in. all walks of life, It may be
established as an axiom that those

most work. because there is always
the changing incentive that exhoits
them to further effort, and which is.
at the same time. anathema to the
appearance of that tired feeling.
