HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Living things are constantly throw ing off materials which, unless renlov ed, viii act as Reisons. Crops must be rota ted. because the coil conditions produced by any one crop prevents the development of the same kind in immediate succession.
 The same thing is true of the human body. It is constantly throwing off, through the skin and lungs, materials which must be removed in order that the body may maintain it's vigor and health. The quality of air we breathe and that enTelops our bodies deter mines in large measure our physical intellectual and emotional conditions and activities. The best air for the body is that which is cool, dry and kept constantly in motion.

Er.ILROAH WAGES.

In a recently printed table ef rail : road wages it was showa that tke ave rage increase in the wages of railroad shopmen since 1915 had been 1ea per cent, while the cost of lixing had in creased about SC per cent. One year ago these men received an increase of se5o, ,ona eco, and nov, if tiaey accept the presidents recent offer. they will get s45 zoe eae additional. Also these men work eight instead of ten hours, and this amounts to a reduction of 20 per cent. in working time with 1e9 per cent. increase in pay. The output an hour has shrslnk so that, according to these quoted figures. less is pro duced for s than used to be produced for so cents, so cents being the cost of work four years ago fer which g is now paid. 4
 The total pay roll is now sseo, ,6oe, ,eaa distributed among 465.eee men, the average individual wage being s1.T22. Gang foremen get s2.461. an increase of III per cent; from this the wages run down to s1,ae5 for helpers. Now they are to receive another increase Taking into account the decreased output the labor cost has more than doubled Under government operation.
 There is 3 grain of comfort in the showing that the government rental
 
 1n 3 year. but a comparison with July a year ago is not comforting. In the month gross revenues fell off by s15,- eo,oee, or 3.2 per cent. while expenses increased s4n.ooo eco, or 12.s per cent which means a decrease in net reye- nues of s55, 900 COG. Two questions na- turally present themselves. The first is whether rates are not as high as they can be made without checking traffic and thus decreasing revenues; and the second is whether railroad wages are not already so high as to make altogether idle any present dis cussion of low to divide surplus earn ings as between labor, capital and the public.
 The cost of government operation of the roads has more than doubled, and that cost is borne by the public. The people may we'll be consulted before there is any further raising of wages. Even as it is nov the roads will be handed back to their owners with n enormous deficit to be made up out of taxes taken from the people. For this dazzling light on the results of government operation, Americans should be grateful.

That the more truculent labor leaders prompt ly repudiated this report by their com mittee on the high cost of living is not an assurance that they propose to be guided by common sense.
 And now Attorney General Palmer has come out in declaration indors- ing the six months' truce idea, and has brought it home to every one by declaring that If a six months truce be assured the cost of living will fall as surely as the night falls at the close of day" In view of his atti- tude. it would certainly be a fea- ther in the administrators cap if At torney General Palmer. backed up by the president could persuade Secre- taFy Of Labor Wilson that now is the time to bring into play all those per- suasive influences which the secretary is credited in believing in and the employment Of which in any critical instance will go further to justify the existence of his department than all the tons of labor statistics and litera- ture that the most assiduous of the bureaucrats in the department can turn out.
