ON BEING FAT.

There's not much sense in being fat in wearing too
much ard the weary years have taught that for I'm
an obese bard Diseases punk enertain dire ailments
two or three; and though Pm twisted up with pain get
no sympathy. Men laugh to hear a fat man groan and
and though he's feeling tough and has an ache in every
bone they think it all bluff If We're thin and drawn
and pale they would not treat thus if put up an an
guished wall they'd make all kinds of fuss; with sooth-
ing words they'd que my fears and bid my pains depart
and shed the sympathetic tears that reach sick mans
heart But am fat and when yell they all begin to
laugh; and they'll be laughing till my knel precedes my
eptaph. lean man falls and people sigh and wonder if
he's hurt they bring his hat arrange his tie and brush
from him the dirt There's tender feeling in the glance
that everyone bestows and for padded ambulance some
sympathizer goes fat man falls all in heap and eles-
copes his spine and people stand around and weep-bu
laughter brings the brine The fat goes his greasy
way with large and buging vest and to the whole world
every day, his every moves jest,

THE SHORT DAY.

Organized labor has secured the adoption Of the
eght-hour day in many industries In skilled occupations
it has proved beneficial both to employer and epoye
records kept show the output per individual speeded up by

None of the arguments which secured the recognition
Of the 8hour day. be used to justify the shorter days
now demanded by labor. From eight hours unions
have gone to 12 hours with increased pay then to
with another increase, and are demanding 6hour
day. with double their pay of year ago. Should they
succeed in securing 6hour day. may expect strike
for 4hour day and complete possession of industry as
in Russia.
Minimum hours means payment for time and
the employment Of to do the work. With min
imum hours have usually gone decreased output per
hour lack Of efficiency disloyaty and the practice Of
sabotage-which spell the eventual destruction Of the
labor organization and social and industrial chaos
Minimum hours and the very short day should have
no consideration in this crisis Of affairs when there

be filled before normal conditions are restored.

For the benefit of those who happen

amounted to per cent of all income

cent of incomes after exemption, up

pay s per cent in excess of the $4,000.
Last year it was II per cent.

SOLDIER PROBLEM
A FACTOR

Wisconsin will have seven new tri-
county tuberculosis sanatoria within
the next few years if the campaign
launched in twenty-one counties to a
large extent in connection with the
November meetings of the county
boards of supervisors, receive the en-
dorsement which leaders in the cam
paign are confident of securing. The
seven groups of counties in which the
campaigns have been started are:
Chippewa, Barron and Dunn; Douglas,
Burnett and Washburn; Fond du Lac,
Dodge and Washington; Richland,
Vernon and Crawford; Buffalo, Trem-
pealeau and Jackson; Iowa, Lafayette
and Green; Columbia, Green Lake
and Marquette.
The widespread interest which has
been taken in the erection of the
states first tri-county sanatorium by
Ashland, Bayfield, and Iron counties is
largely responsible for the rapidly
growing sentiment throughout the
state favoring the union of two OF
more counties in the erection of joint
institution. Ideally located and
planned to allow for expansion, pure
air is rapidly nearing completion and
will be ready for patients about Feb
ruary first. Recently the three inter-
ested county boards each voted unan-
imously in favor of an additional 49,
600 for equipping the institution and
this action following the original un-
animous vote establishing the institu-
tion has been a practical and con-
vincing reputation of the charge that
political jealousies would prevent
county boards from carrying such a
project through successfully and
tremendously.
The need for more sanatorium beds
in Wisconsin was repeatedly empha-
sized at the recent annual meeting of
the state anti-tuberculosis association.
Col. Charles E. Banks of the United
States Public Health Service, in out
lining the governments work in pro-
viding care for discharged tuberculous
soldiers urged the fact that the prob
lem of finding sanatorium accommoda-
tons for the soldiers is a serious
one and that while the government is
building new sanatorias as fast as Con-
gress supplies the necessary money it
must rely largely for some time to
come on the increase in local insti-
tutions.
