ABOUT WATER

Most of us realize the Importance
of pure water when we can't get
any. But ordinarily we never give
it thought.
Do you know, for instance, that
seventy-fve per cent of the carcass
you carry around when you put on
your clothes in the morning is
water? That, assuming the scales
register you at $50 pounds, 113 of
those pounds will go up in steam if
you should happen to get to a
certain very hot place?
Well, that's fact. A man is
almost as we'll watered as some
railroads. And here's another
fact: Just to keep the mixture in
you at the right degree of fluidity,
just to make up for the body's
evaporation and leakage thru
discharges, you need every day,
to take into you, thru food and
drink, an ounce of water for every
pound and seven-tenths that you
weigh.
Say you weigh $50 pounds.
This means that you need daily
water dosage of more than half
gallon simply to keep you from
becoming dusty and crusty..
But there's one fine thing about
water as a beverage; you don't
need to be afraid of an overdose.
It cleanses the innards as a rainfall
hushes sewer-so don't be afraid
to go to it heartily and often.

ONE by one the Democratic
papers of the country are coming
across to the protection ideas.
The latest is the Chaska Herald
published by friend Senator DuToit
who in his last issue says:
THE Herald is in favor of an
upward revision of the Underwood
tariff law, especially on all agri-
cultural products, including the
restoration of the tariff on sugar
and perhaps on iron, chemicals
and dyes. We have always been
in favor of a tariff placed high
enough to protect our laborers, but
not of a prohibitive nature. The
European war has greatly impaired
our commerce with the outside
world, and increased revenues are
necessary to meet government ex-
penses, which are increased owing
to the war. We hope Congress
will meet the issue squarely and al
once after assembling, and show
the country that the democratic
party is fully alive to the interests
of the great masses and legislate
to put the country on a sound
financial basis. -"

COP bless the kicker. Every
once in a while someone confuses a
kicker with a knocker. A knocker
is a pest while the kicker is public
benefactor. 1t was the kickers
who after many years of effort,
secured ordinances keeping the
cattle off the streets. 1t was the
kickers who secured for us the
cement walks, white way and other
modern improvements and it will
be the kickers who will secure
other improvement of municipal
benefit in the future. The
knockers are the ones who are
everlasting harping on the cost OF
everything and who question
pessimistically the why and the
wherefore of certain things cal
culated to benefit the city as a
whole and not themselves in parti-

that the government taxed gullible
people last year $118, 900, 900 by
interfering with the various sharp

present time, this same government
is preventing thousands of men
and women from personal wreck

to the free sale of opiates. And,
in numerous other ways, the gov
ernment is interfering, for the good
OF the people, in compelling them
to do certain things. Adulterated

THE humane side of industry
was referred to in editorial pub
lished in last weeks issue of the
Iron Trade Review and in harmony
with the ideas there expressed IS
an article published elsewhere in
this issue on the tinekeeper and
personal touch. This article is the
result of conversation held recent
ly by two men prominently identi-
fled with the iron ore interests of
Minnesota. They were talking
about the personal equation as it
enters into the problem of iron ore
mining and one of the two decided
to put the views entertained by
both on paper. The gentlemen
are so modest as not to wish to
have their names disclosed. but
their observations, based upon
long experience, are nevertheless
interesting and valuable. There
is, as the article so clearly points
out, no doubt that the efficiency
of the man depends to a very large
extent upon his mental attitude to-
ward the concern with which he is
connected, and that means toward
the representatives of the COM
pany with whom he comes most
intimately in contact. While, OF
course, the timekeeper is one en-
ploye who comes in contact with
many men, the suggestions made
apply to virtually everybody in the
employe of the company. While
the timekeeper comes in contact
with more men than do most OF
those whom he meets, every man
on the payroll has some contact
with his fellows and can help to
make life pleasant or disagreeable
about a plant or Office. If an EN-
ploye would be popular with his
associates and retain his self-respect
he will be courteous and helpful
whenever possible. Often a man
in very humble position touches
the lives of many other men and
can make the world little brighter
for every one of them, if he will
only make the effort.

PERSONAL TOUCH
What Men Made Of the Right Stuff Can Do to
Increase Efficiency of Employees

personal touch; furthermore, he is
not boss. The superintendent is
far removed. Whether he wants
it or not, he is aloof from the men.
The foreman, or shift boss. is to a
degree the same. He wields
authority. 1t is his business to
direct, reprove and order. He
must be extremely careful not to
appear to play favorites. Here is
where the possibility Of the time
keepers job comes in. Once or
twice day he meets each man face
to face. If made of the right stuff
and animated by the right motives,
he can be their friend. He can
learn why Mike Mickilovich is not
at work, and how matters are com.
ing along in the feud that is brew
ing between the Austrians and the
Serbians. If there are rumblings
of gathering storm, his ear can
be to the ground. If the shift boss
is a tyrant, he can know it. If the
men have real grievance, he can
scent it far off, If some Door
fellow is carrying burden greater
than he can bear, he can at least
obtain knowledge of the load.
Presumably it is this sort of in
formation thesuperintendent wants,
if he is the kind of superintendent
that knows that the personal touch
is conducive to efficiency.
But this does not imply that the
timekeeper's job carries with it that
of tale-bearer, or spy. 1t only i'm
plies that he should have human
sympathy and full recognition OF
the rights of man; a sense OF
justice, and a desire to use the
peculiar advantages of his position
for the promotion of harmony. and
for helping the superintendent with
knowledge of the actual conditions
as they obtain among the employees,
without which the superintendent
is lacking one of the factors which
make toward his efficiency as a
superintendent.
There is no other subordinate
job around a mine that covers so
much territory; that takes in the
underground working and the
office; that reaches from the top of
the headframe to the pump station,
like that of the timekeeper. A
wide-awake timekeeper has better
a1l-around view of the operation of
a mine than many mining
engineer. Because of the chances
that the job lends toward learning
the operating details, it should be
sought after, providing the pay is
at all adequate, by men who hope
to advance in the business. Be-
cause of the peculiar possibilities
the job presents for usefulness
other than merely keeping the
timebook, men should be sought
after to fill it who can bring to it
all those indefnable elements of
courtesy, humanity, kindness, con-
sideration and interest in the well
fare of their fellow workers which
go to further that much desired, if
somewhat indeterminate, and called
personal touch. There would ap-
pear to be evidence enough to show
that in the selection of timekeepers
these other qualifications have, in
some cases, been sadly overlooked,
much to the detriment oe that ideal
of harmony and team work which
every superintendent is supposed
to cherish.
Ali of which is respectfully sub
mitted for the consideration of
superintendents when necessary to
select timekeepers.
