Life is Real ~ No thoughtful man can close his eyes to the realities of life It is true that Life Insurance has to do with life Life In- surance sets the mind at reat; it saves money for old age comforts; it enters into mauy a business deal; in fact, it touches all phases of life. Are you living or just drifting? Once in a while our set ideas about efficiency receive something of a shock. ! In a large industrial plan, one of the" chief aids to efficiency is the good health of the workers, and in thes days' of strenuous health propaganda, one] would expect to find every means taken to safeguar d the health of the workers. A few days ago I visited one of the] lax gest industrial plants in the world. } H ere, thought I, would be efficiency re- duced to a fine art. Every cog would | be oiled and running smoothly, and every workman would be on the job.! ! This was actually the situation as far as production was concerned. There was no delay in the output of the pro- dutes. The workings of the various departments was a model of efficiency and co-operation. The thousands of | workmen were all busy at their re-' spective jobs and each man knew his ing it well. / But from the standpoint of health, it was a different matter. As I passed along from department to department, ! there were many conditions noticeable | that could be improved upon from the health standpoint. To begin with, there was the question of varying tem- peratures. Now it is very difficult to maintain a uniform = temperature in different parts of a workshop, especi- ally one where there are furnaces and ovens. The point is that the material for such work should be stored in the room where the furnace or blow pipe is, so that the workmen do not need to go and transport the unfinished mater- ial to the scene of operation. This is exactly what I saw happening. working before a hot fire had to get from a distance the iron bars which were to be heated. Ip several cases they were required, in getting the material, to pass through a cool, even draughty corridor, leaving the liable to catch colds, pneumonia, lumbago and such trouble directly injurious to WANTED -- FRESH MILCH COW ; must be young and good milker.

As for the lighting facilities, they were, to say the least, very inadequate, and the use of various kinds of artificial light was a source of great eye-strain. One of the essentials of good hygiene in a workshop or factory is freedom, as far as possible, from abnoxious gases or odors. = The presence of these gases was at once noticeable on enter- ing the plant and must surely prove injurious to the health of the workers. Even the washing facilities were very inadequate and scores of men left the plant grimy and dirty rather than waste the time in waiting their turn to get at the wash basin. The cloak rooms also were far too small and not properly arranged to suit the con- : venience of those having to make use These superficial observa- tions were niade in the course of a brief visit to the plant in question, one of the finest and most up-to-date industrial concerns in the country, from a commercial point of view, the shows, however, "that, far greater in- terest will have to be taken by em- pleyers and employees alike, health of the workers is to be adequate ly propel FINE SERVICE ABOARD FINE TRAINS MAGNIFICENT 15, 1925 Men Not only that, but the expense oa : having men sick and delaying the out : was a distinct' if the The Mutual Life 'Assurance Co of Canada| District Agent.

I personally would prefer the first, as the latter would simply mean confinement in an asylum which would be a decided brand of refined cruelty." These words are contained in a letter written by John B. Pire, self- confessed murderer of his wife and two children on October, in reply to a letter of sympathy from Mrs F. M. E. Ranson-Sutton, Toronto, whose hush- and served with Pirie in the South African war. The letter was made moc public by R. A. Olmstead, councel for Pirie, with the consent of Mrs Ranson- Sutton, and is the first published state- ment made by the prisoner, who will be tried next January.
