Burning the Candle at Both Ends.

Burning the Candle at Both Ends.
The truth about fatigue is that up
to a certain point it is normal. health
full and Necessary. 1t is the natural
sag which comes from the expenditure
sagging so low that one cannot re-
cover.
+ Much fatigue is mental After
football game the team that has lost
is tired But watch the winnersi No
matter how gruelling the gridiron
battle has been, the victorious players
still have plenty of energy left for the
celebration.
Nevertheless, there is limit to ones
bodily reserve. Burning the candle at
both ends is a game which no man
has yet been able to beat. In time,
outraged Nature will protest. Every
draft on the bank of health must be
paid and paid with interest.
1t does not pay to overtax. Strain
and worry cause more physical break
downs than actual work.
| Most of us fail to give our bodies
a fair deal as long as they do not
trouble us actively.
We pay no attention to the danger

wrong. We neglect to visit the dentist
until we have a raging toothache-
suffering that might have been pre-
vented had the matter been attended

We neglect to have an annual medi-
cal examination, though this "over-
hauling of the human machine" would
add years to our lives

lection of food and it is not always a
reliable one.
| We keep late hours in stuffy amuse-
ment places and wonder why We have
dull headache in the morning. Elk
ercise is something we read about.
All these things are enemies to good
health.
| Sometimes Nature calls a halt. Then
we rush to a doctor imploring him to
give us something that will cure us
instantly so we can go back again to
the old, careless way of living.

Plans for Rochedale cooperative

night for four weeks organized wage
Farmers of the city met in Labor hall
TO push plans to completion. Already
$50 members enlisted and Half the
necessary capital of $1,000 was sub
scribed.
When the total sum required by law
has been raised a meeting of the
shareholders will be held, permanent
manager selected, the store stocked
and opened and business begun. The
Rochedale plan provides buying and
selling for cash only. Every ninety
days the books are balanced and a
meeting of shareholders is held. From
the profits a certain per cent is set
aside for interest on share capital, re
serve, new business and premium for
labor. The balance is divided among
the shareholders on the basis of the
amount of their purchases from the
store.
Dividends Every 80 Days.
Promoters of the plan point out
that the labOrer, under the present
system, spends his wages and that is
the end of it. Under the Rochedale
plan, the wages are spent as usual,
but the buyer every ninety days has
in hand money representing the diff
ference between cash wholesale price
and the cash retail price paid for the
goods they bought from their store,
the labor men assert.
This simple Rochedale plan" says
one OF the local promoters, has in
England changed the dire meaning of
the word profit into a more just and
sweeter meaning for 100000 heads
of families Under this plan over L.
500 stores, two large wholesale estab-
lishments, plantations in Ceylon,
South Africa and elsewhere, mills, fac
tories and a fleet of ships serve these
British millions and belong to them.
Slowly and surely the just principles
of cash and cooperation build wealth
and increase the value and interest of
life for over 100000 British people.
Kansas Stores Successful.
Not alone in England, but in Sa-
lima, Fort Scott, Newton, Arketo and
many more places here in Kansas are

James Bailey Riley.

James Bailey Riley, son OF J. w.
Riley, died at Camp Pike, Arkansas,
Saturday afternoon at six o'clock.
James Bailey Riley was among the
young men. who at the call of his
country, was selected and went
among the first to Camp Pike in
1917. Early after he reached the
camp, he began service in the quar-
termaster corps and was in that SER
vice at the time of his death.
He was an industrious young man.
having many friends who admired
him for his numerous good qualities
of character. In the beginning of
his young manhood, just as the OPP
portunities of life were opening up
to him, it was doubly sad that his
career on earth should be cut short
and that he should be separated
from his wife, family and friends.
While the close of the war pre-
cluded his active engagement in the
zone of death on the battlefields of
France, the quality of heroism that
attaches to all soldier boys who
volunteered or were selected into
the service of their country will re-
hoct his patriotism as truly as it
marks the patriotism of those who
suffered in the trenches or repealed
the Hun on the battle front. He is
survived by wife, father. sister
and a step-mother, who cared for
him from early childhood.
His remains were brought to
Quincy and inte red in the Sartor
graveyard, Monday.
The sympathy of a county full of
people goes out to the bereayed wife
and stricken family in heartfelt sim
cerity.
