MANAGING A VACATION.
The Hot Days Are Arriving And it
is Time to Consider Taking
~ Vacation,

AS the hot days arrive, it is, as
usual time to consider taking a va
cation. OF course, some people take
one all the year round. But even by
Woodworking people a vacation can
be either used or abused. Indeed, it
seems that many persons fail to get
very much good from their holidays.
They even take harm.
How else can one explain the fire.
auency with which the question is
asked, Have you recovered from
your vacation YETI" OF course, this
may refer only to a fact commonly
known, that after you have broken
your regular routine for a while, it
does take day or two to get back
into harness, even though you are
feeling better than when you left
home. But the need of recovering"
from a vacation may run somewhat
deeper. 1t may mean that you didn't
think the situation over carefully
Everyone ought to ask himself,
before going on a vacation, How
tired am l as matter of fact?'
Just little mentally weary and
needing a change, or tired clear
Through, mind fatigued, and body
run down? If a person has reached
this second stage, then he ought to
lay aside all intention of having a
strenuous vacation and give him
self all the rest he can possibly get
Some physical exercise each day may
be all right, but it should be stopped
the moment the muscles grow tired
On the other hand, if you are feel
ing fairly fresh when you start, il
will probably do you good to enter
with enthusiasm into all possible
plans for exercises and diversions
even to force yourself little in pur
suit of them. 1t may be just the
thing to start sluggish nerves into
new life.
If you cannot take a vacation, il
is always we'll to arrange some little
changes in your usual routine. Try
sleeping outdoors for while. Go or
a short trip or two, if only for the af-
ternoon. One hard working woman
in a big city library was asked if she
never took a vacation. "Why, no,
do1't need to-, she promptly replied
II just change my work-that's al

OUR FRIENDS IN DEBORAH.
Give Added Praise. Their Statements
Are Convincing.

1t is gratifying for us to read
such good news as the following, for
it shows that the experience of cur
friends in w. DEBORAH is the same as
that of many DEBORAH men and wo-
men who have spoken out so heartily
in these columns:
o. w. Emery, West DEBORAH, Iowa
says: "My back got so bad that
couldn't sleep. I had to have pill
lows under my loins to get any rest
at all. The pain was awful and
seemed as though my kidneys we're

streets lined with chestnut trees eX-
planned that where the many limbs
had been cut human heads were
stuck until the trees looked as tho
they bore that kind of fruit.
There are thirteen gates to the city
of Nankin and at the time of the
burial of the first Ming a coffin was
taken out of each gate. After burial
all the coolies were beheaded that
there might be secrecy as to which
coffin contained the remains that it
might not be located.
On the following day we visited the
tower with the great bell which
weights $4,000 pounds and was cast
in the year 1900. A fabulous tale of
three sisters is told in connection
with this bell having sacrificed their
lives that it might be cast.
Their casts are in the temple and
those of their father and mother and
nurse, also casts of the good and evil
man. Casts of the good and evil man
are common in these temples.
We visit the great examination
hall where students used to COM
pete for scholarships that would al
low them to hold office, no one hold
ing Office in China who had not one
of these scholarship diplomas.
There were $4,000 of the little
cells four by six feet for the stu
dents and $500 for the examining
board, those for the examination
board being large enough to live in.
OF all these $4,000 applicants but
two hundred could get diplomas,
many went crazy in their great effort
to secure the prize. If one cheated
in making his report he was taken in
front of the examination hall, his
report burned, he degraded, never
to be recognized by the public. 1t was
from these students that all viceroys
and public officers were chosen.
From the top of the examination
hall we could see over this great
area of sells now fast going to decay.

down a long decline lined with wor-
ship stones on either side, then in

very heavy carvings enter a tunnel,
pass through and you are on the up
per side of temple 100 feet long.
This was mostly destroyed in the in
surrection a few years since when the
great porcelain tower was which was
situated on this drive out. These were
destroyed in the tapping rebellion.
Going On top of this ruins we look
out upon the tomb of the first Ming.
From the ruins you see large mound
covering about forty acres and built
up like a pyramid, but now covered
with chestnut trees. Under this
mound is buried the first Ming, the
one that caused all those surround
ings we have described.
Around the mound is wall of
stone about thirty feet high in fine
state of preservation.
These Mings ruled China for about
three hundred years from the year
1860 A. d. They were driven out
by the Manchus who ruled until 1911
when the present republic was es-
tablished.
Back from this mound of earth
over the first Ming stands Purple
mountain and it is from this noun
tain that all attacks are made on
the city. The army getting posses
sion of this, mount their cannon
there and fire down onto the city
until it capitulates. 1t was from this
mountain in the uprising in 1911
that the Chinese bombarded the city
and the lady keeping our hotel des-
cribed as destroying their hotel
which was good one and she was
obliged to resort to the private resi-
dence which was not torn down but
had cannon ball holes il it. She
told me that when the Chinese got

SOLDIERS WAGES.
in WashingtOn's Time and That of
Today.

An interesting comparison be-
tween the pay received by men who
served under George Washington
and that which will be paid Ameri-
can soldiers who go to France in
Pershing's war army, was seen the
other day in Chicago in a recruiting
argument which placed a poster Of
revolutionary days side by side with
one appealing for men now.
The men who won the freedom OF
the United States received $50 a
year, "the whole of which the SOL
der may lay up for himself and
friends" according to the poster,
which points out the ample rations
were allowed the army, and IAN an
nual and sufficient supply of good
AID handsome clothing"
The man who enlists during re-
cruiting week will receive not mere
ly food and clothing, but at least $50
a month, with an automatic increase
of 20 per cent when ordered to for
eign service. If he qualities as first
class private, he will receive $33 a
month. 1t is estimated that 81 in
army life is equal to SO in civil life,
because the soldiers housing, food,
clothing, transportation and medi-
cal attention are furnished by the
government. Army recruiting Off

and now when employees threaten

There is but one conclusion to
existing conditions. Either the
government must see to it that
the cost of living is reduced to
normal conditions, or wages must
be advanced to meet the extra
ordinary conditions. If it is not
done there will be labor strikes

The striking coal miners in
Kansas are threatened by the
administration with conscription
if they refuse to resume work on
the schedule offered by the gov
ernment for the settlement of
the strike. The 45c per ton ad-
ditional allowance given mine
operators was supposed to be for
the purpose of paying miners the
increased wage, but the operators
will see to it that not over sc a
ton goes for wages, while the
balance will go to them as war
profits. The operators were
allowed their war profits in the
original fixed price for coal, and
now they want to hog the addi-
tional 45c. 1t would have been
just as simple and easy for the
government to announce that
operators should only charge the
original fixed price for coal, and
that any addition to the price up
to 45c ton should be paid to the
men mining the coal. Knowing
the grasping disposition of the
coal barons the government
should not have allowed them
the increase to cover advance in
wages, because it was morally
certain the men would not get
any of it.

have shocked the rotton standard
of New York's alleged society
would have been for Ryan to
have had the minister marry
him to his new wife before the
funeral sermon was preached for
the old one. Just why the ordi-
nary individual should work him
self into a frenzy over the antics
of the millionaires.passes all un-
derstanding. The standard of
morals of the idle rich is just
about on a par with the old Bar

gilded over with the gold and

If Capital, Why Not Labor?

of loyalty and patriotism to the
government in this time of war.
Why do not the corporation own
ed press take the same view of
the manufacturers, who refused
to continue the output of their
factories and shops unless they
were permitted to increase their
prices to a war basis? The
farmers refused to plant unless
they were guaranteed war prices
for their products. Was not the
attitude of the manufacturers
and the farmers a threat to
strike, and still the big dailies
entered no protest, but filled
their columns with arguments in
justification Of the increase de-
manded. But when the army of
men who earn their livelihood
from a daily wage threaten to
strike to get a war time wage,
IN keeping with the increased
cost of living brought on by the
threatened strike of the manu-
facturers, who were cheerfully
granted an increase to keep them
going, then howl goes up that
labor is taking advantage Of the
war situation and are not loyal
citizens. Are the toilers the
only ones who are supposed to
make sacrifices in time Of war?
Ii labor is not to be given some
of the benefits of the increased
price charged by manufacturers
what justification do they have
for demanding the increase on
their products? The theory of a
greater demand is just as appli-
cable to labor as to the manufac-
turer.
Take as an instance the threat
ened railroad strike of a year
ago, when the changed working
condition to an eight-hour day
meant an increase in wages of
about five percent, and imme-
diately the railroads made ap-
plication to the interstate COM
merce commission for permission
to increase their rates fifteen per
cent. Will it be the policy of the
commission to permit railroads
to increase their rates fifteen per
cent every time the men are
granted five per cent increase
in wages? Take the coal oper-
ators as another instance. Their
only big item in overhead ex-
pense is the wages paid to miners
for getting out the coal. The
intrinsic value Of their coal is
no greater this year than it was
five years ago, but the increased
demand makes a reasonable in
crease justifiable, but an exhor-
bitant price is robbery unless the
difference is paid to the miners
for increased wages. But where
is there to-day a coal operator
who has increased wages to his
miners anywhere near in keep
ing with the added price he is
demanding for the mine output.
The same condition exists in
every other line of manufacture
or production. The manufacture
er wants his, but he is never
willing to gives labor its fair and
equitable proportion.
The statistics of the govern
ment shows there has been an
increase in the cost of living in
the past two years on an average
of over twenty-five per cent, es-
pecially in the necessaries Of life,
due to the rapacity of the manu-
facturer and producer, and dur
ing that same time the increase
in wages has not amounted to
exceed ten per cent, and many
classes of labor have had no in
creases. The manufacture
and producer want war profits,
