THE LEAVEN
OF LABOR
Widely Known Lecturer~and Author
and a National Authority on
Juvenile Problems,
BY w. A. McKeever-

"HREE thousand university
students don work clothes
for day and all join eagerly
in tearing out old bleachers and tons
of heavy timbers that did service in
the old athletic field.
1t was Stadium Day" at the Uni
versity OF Kansas. A half-million.
dollar structure was to replace the
old wooden sheds and bleachers,
and a holiday had been declared
so that all might assist in the work
of demolition.
1T was the happiest day ever
spent at the university" said
sophomore. Everyone treated the
others as a common acquaintance"
"It was a wonderful day." said
thoughtful young professor. For
once we were all on a common
level. To me y seemed that the
university had found a new way of
expressing her soul"
So all agreed that Stadium Day
was a glorious affair of good work
and good feeling. The chancellor
was out in his overalls and plowed
the first furrow for the new, pre-
tentious structure soon to be
erected.
But the main point for us par
ents and teachers to consider
here Is that the students touched
the bedrock OF democracy when they
all came out in their common
clothes to perform as common la.
borers.
The consciousness OF manners and
clothes that are distinctive the idea
of being on display before many
critical eyes - this superficiality
takes so much of the deeper human
significance out of everyday exist
ence. The generous impulse of un-
selfish love, of helpful sympathy
and of free, open fellowship, is what
we miss In the more formal affair.
But we can save democracy for
society and the world through the
right management OF our children.
That In, by requiring them dur.
ing their growing years to per.
form all together certain OF the
exercises deeply inherited in hu-
man nature and deeply significant
for human progress, like common
labor, for example.
It was really pathetic to note
how awkwardly some OF the re-
fined "softies" behaved in their
work clothes and how the "hus-
kles" here had them at a disadvan.
tage. But let this labor day" come
about, not once in a college career.
but once per week, and you will
soon behold the soul OF humanity
shining out through II. Every Sat
urday should be labor day" for

undeV his shoulder, arching back her ,
body to sustain his weight as ne
went down.
Not Ready TO Faint.
He had no intention. OF fainting.
But he was glad enough TO close
his eyes for a minute or two as his
head sank back on a thick sofa pill
low which smelt slightly OF house
dust. He could feel her breath fan
ming his neck. She was actually
unknotting his scarf and unbutton-
ing his wilted and sodden collar.
Gould you give me a drink of
water?" he asked, remembering the
fire-eScape and the fact that it led
to his own room. And II was soil
tude, he also remembered. that he
had been in search Of.
She left him. and slipped across
the room, with her loose slipper
heels clacking after her. Storrow
could hear the hiss of the tap water
through the bath room door, and
the not unpleasant clack of the re-
turning slipper heels. He raised
himself on his elbow and took the
glass from her hand. The water it
held was tepid and hot-tasting. But
he drank 1t to the last drop.
He felt better after that, though
the act of swallowing reminded him
Of his hurt lip. painful against the
glass edge. And that, in turn, made
him think of his head, which still
throbbed. So with a cautious fore
finger he explored along the side of
his skull, where the coal shovel had
raised lump like a poached egg.
He was staring somewhat ruefully
at his bruised and tender knuckles
when the girl came back from the
bath room with bowl of hot water
and moistened towel in her hand.
Hold still a moment" she quietly
commanded. She was STOPPING over
him the next moment, carefully
wiping the dust-stained and blood
smeared face.
1t struck Storrow as being slight
ly ridiculous, but he submitted, with
his eyes closed. 1t was not until
she transferred her ministrations to
his bruised finger-joints that he
opened his eyes, watching her abb
stractedly as she just as abstract
edly went on with her work.

NYOTHING can prevent obesity
in a person who continues
to eat and digest rich foods
, in excess Of the needs of the body.
, Therefore corpulence Is coming to
be regarded not only as deformity,
but also as a reflection upon habits
and character; hence there ia reason
to believe that It will for the most
part be abolished in time.
A feature of recent medical ad-
vance is the stamping of obesity
as a sign of wanton gluttony and
the practical abolition Of this conii-
tion among the more intelligent
classes of the population.
The disappearance Of obesity will
appreciably reduce the occurrence
of diabetes, which of late has shown
a decided tendency to increase
among civilized peoples, along with
heart and kidney diseases, harden
ing of the blood vessels and other
so-called degenerative diseases.
The rate of increase has been such
as to make one think that diabetes
might some day rival tuberculosis
as a cause of death, but with the
sensible determination of more and
more people not to be heavyweighss,
such a danger is never likely to be
materialized.
There are about a million people
in the United States at the present
time suffering from diabetes. and
millions more are potential cases -
candidates for the disease as shown
by an abnormal and habitual in
crease in the sugar of the blood.
Normal weight can be maintained
by an accurate adjustment of the
food intake to the actual needs of
the body. In case of overweight the
intake must be reduced still further,
great care, however, being taken
TO insure that a sufficient amount
of protein is given. Otherwise low
diets are dangerous.
