No ; better knock off work sensibly Friday evening, enjoy a decent rest, and be full of vim by Monday. But this business of using a weck-end Sat- urday mdrning--why, you might as well leave town Saturday afternoon. Better quit work early Friday--say, about noon--travel comfortably, and have ail day Saturday for satisfying relaxation, Then came the bank clerks, and oth- er polite employees, whose firms per- ccived they would be all the better for a break in the working afternoon --just a few minutes, you know, while tea could be served--sort of a pick- me-up, to increase the efficiency of the office force. At that agreeable stage of the par- ing-down process on the working day Great Britain suddenly awoke to the appaliing- fact that Germany, where everybody manufactured and clerked and sawed wood as long as anybody was able, was invading the world's markets like an irresistible avalanche.

Many persons fancy that riw apples are indigestible and only endatrable in the carly morning. ss the old adage that fruit is gold in the motning, silver in the middle of the day' and lead at night is fo some extent' answerable for this erronebus impression: Dietitians say that ripe, 'raw apples contain more" phosphates' in' proportion to their bulk than other article of food, fish not excepted. A recefit writ- er on this point boldly declares that in this lies the sécret' of healthful longev- ity. They correct Biliousness and act as 2 sedative upon the racked nkrves and allay insommia.
