THOUGHT FOR THE DAY. The ideal of philanthropy is hu man. It does not became enthusiastic over such conservation of workers as is directed towards the increase of profits. It does not rave over high •wages which are paid in order to se cure a low labor cost. It believes in conservation and in high wages for other reasons. The content of lire !t self is the thing about which philan thropy is concerned. Workers are not looked upon as assets of business, but the ultimate consumers of the prod ucts of industry.—Edward T. Devine In The Survey. It ts a tough job to make the fellow who is hungry think that hard times Is only psychological. If we could only get over the idea that what our neighbors think of us 1s of prime Importance rather than -what we think of ourselves, we might he happier and certainly more effec tive persons. The Journeys of the Keokuk re tail merchants to the nearby towns Is commendable. It Is commendable from a social standpoint if It had no other motive.

Fort Madison has adopted an ordi nance forbidding the employment of men from the prison within the city limits. This ordinance the state board of control has ordered the war den to pay no attention to. Aside from the legal phase of the matter there can be but one opinion among those who know anything of what Warden Sanders has been doing to encourage the men of the prison to become trustworthy workers. 3#-Is men have done an enormous amount of work that otherwise would have not been done, have earned a large sum for the prison, and have become themselves the guardians of peace and good order that they might enjov the opportunity. THE "DAY OF REST" AND HUMAN EFFICIENCY. The refreshing Influence of the weekly "day of rest" on a person subjected to the strenuous routine of a busy life is a feature which he himself can duly appreciate in ths effects on his "feelings" and "spirits." The efficiency of the working man, the length of the working-day, the in terjection of pauses for rsst in the schedule of labor for persons of dif ferent ages and stations in life—ques tions' of this sort are constantly aris ing for solution on a scientiflo basis. .Not only in the field, of manual labor, but also in the case of the school child, tha office-boy, the factory girl, the banker and the merchant, efficiency is the key-note of the tlmee.. Fatigue Is the enemy of efficiency and to de tect ani compensate for. or overcome it, is the duty of those concerned with the promotion of human welfare. In view of this says the Journal of the American Medical Association It is of more than passing interest, to know that Dr. Martin and some of his associates In the laboratory of physiology at the Harvard medical school, have been making a careful study of the whole question of fatigue and efficiency from a physiological standpoint. A long series of experi ments hava been made on first-year medical students who were following a regular routine of school work dur ing six days of each week. The rou tine was interrupted weekly by the Sunday recass, an interval occupied variously by the students, but i^i no case in precisely the manner of the week days. The daily observations made on these persons during several weeks show that at the beginning of the week the nerve reaction tends to be high, that from then until the end of the week there is a fairly continu ous decline, and that following the in terruption of the routine by the in tervention of Sunday, it returns to the original high point. The decline is interpreted as a cumulative* result of general fatigue incident to routine. What is even more significant, however, is the ad ded fact that a pronounced break in the routine—such as the "day of rest" occasions—may bring about a return of sensitiveness to a high point or, In other words, it restores the ner- shoulder. ,o»e. Studies direction should lead conclusions regarding of work, with respect to both its dura- built here. tlon and type, that should determine the conditions under which the or gahism of man may be maintained without depletion.

"The heart thumps irregularly, the pulse goes up to 100, your knees knock together, and your -poor lags seem unwilling to carry you. Your throat is parched, you feel suffocated, your chest seems loaded down with a great weight, and such a feeling of utter exhaustion!" Of This Is not a patent medicine ad vertisement. It is Walter Woodtunt Hyde's description of one's condition on reaching the summit of Mont Blanc Switzerland, as written to the Nation al Geographic society, at Washington, D. C. "The air has now become so rare that even the stoutest guide Is com pelled to take breath every few steps," ha continues. "If you ever saw an •yon are not asked to take ur*« about But it is too cold to sleep, to sse it, is indeed incomparable.

The cold was so intense that five minutes after arriving at the summit we were all rsady to begin the de scent. "Although the ascent of Mont Blanc offers no greater dangers than that of some other Swiss mountains, it has the name of being th3 longest and most exhausting climb in the Alps.
