Barton. M.D, Daily Rests. As you are living in the twentieth century, you think it ridiculous to suggest to you to try and live as did man in the early history of the race. You admit that your body is the same as his, but to live by hunting and fishing is now out of the ques- tion. You must work dally, eat prepared foods, and live indoors at night at least. This is true of course, and you must meet the requirements of our present civilization. However there are certain points, that were it is possible, you should try to follow the idea at least, of our early ancestors. One of the things he did was to work hard, and then to rest hard or rather well. I'm not going to discuss the ques- tion as to whether you and I work as hard as our ancestors. But what about resting? He knew how to rest and when to rest, and that was to rest when he needed it.' That is such a simple proposition that you may be wonder- ing at just what I'm driving. In these days of hurry and excite- ment, the endeavor to get big pro- duction; to build a bridge or factory in a matter of so many days, rest, the necessity of rest, is entizely lost sight of. What do I mean? Well, in some of these factories where production was the goal, cer- tain experiments were tried. These experiments were meant to increase or "speed up" production. Accordingly about eleven o'clodk in the morning a rest of ten ninutes was given to all the employees. In the afternoon at two-tnirty, and again at four, ten minute resting periods were given. What was the result? Production was inoreased. The resting of mind and body during these three periods, thirty mioutes in all, increased production neorly fif- teen per cent. all round. Where the work was of an individ- ual, or more interesting kind, the production increased about ten per cent., and where the work was me- chanical or monotonous, nearly twenty per cent. My point is that in every kind of work, where it is possible, these short rest periods should be taken. You will not only do more work, but your body and brain will be the better for it, and your generil view of life be more optimistic. WHY THE WEATHER? DR. CHARLES #. BROOXS Secretary, American Meteorolegioal Society, Tells Hew. - Orickets as Thermometers. There is a well known correspond- ence between the temperature and the rate of a cricket's chirps. ¥Farm- ers have noticed that on nights when crickets are heard chirping rapidly as late as 10 p.m. frost very rarely occurs. The accuracy. of the wvaria- tion of the rate with the temperature is surprising. One observer, B. E. Holmes in New Haven, Conn., made a series of 20 records from which he drew the formula that the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit equals 40 plus 23-100 of the number of chirps per minute. In nineteen cases out of the twenty this formula gave an air temperature within one degree of that actually shown by the thermometer. The case that failed to conform was a count e on the only rainy evening. Ten observa- tions at Worcester, Mass., in late summer and early fall confirm this relation. In every case the tempera- ture computed from the rate of chirps according to the formula fell within two degrees of the actual temperature, and in eight cases within one degree. In these ten ob- servations the temperature ranged from $2 degrees Fahrenheit to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and the rate of chirps from 56 to 155 per min- ute. One warm evening a cricket | & place where the temperature was about 72 degrees chirped at a rate of 140 a minute, while at the same time one where the temperature was about 75 chirped 1565. Hard Coal $2 A Sault Ste. Marie, Sept. 18. -- Sault anthracite prices are {rom $2 to $3 lower per ton than they were last winter, though there has been ro general reduction in the last few days, such as was reported from Fort William.

McKimm, crown attorney for Lan- ark county, and living at Smith's Falls, caught fire, in af unknown way and was destroyed, along with hig auto. The garage of the estate was also burned.

"LEEDS COUNTY, WAKE UP."

Improvements to thé Perth Roed have for years engaged the attention of the counties' council. It is felt that the road in question, a 'most important artery of travel, should be made a provincial highway and ft should. Some months before the defeat of the Drury Government a delegation from the council of Leeds and Grenville met at Toronto, Hon. F. C. Regs, then Minister of high- ways. The delegation received the promise from the minister that his department would take over the Perth road as a provincial highway.
