On the other side are the thousands of prisoners for whom forced idleness means further mental and physical degeneration, criminologists, penologists and welfare workers who know the corrective powers of work for the criminal. Between the two are millions of people who sympathize with the manufacturer and wage earner and at the; same time realize that there must be more and larger prison factories instead of fewer facilities for prison labor. The layman is convinced that existing economic Conditions forbid any move that would increase unem- ployment or lower wages, but he is equally convinced that something must be done to make prison real re- formatories instead of colleges of crime. Modern thought deals more with rehabilitation of prisoners than with punishment. Possibly idleness is the worst punishment, but it is costly to taxpayers sa| it turns back to society men and women who have been schooled in crime rather than in some means of making an honest living. In the light of these facts congress and the state leg- islatures should be chary of legislation restricting pris- on industry.

Wherever exists a beautiful building or a big factory 4 Or a fine, smooth road, there is evidence that a lot of sa men who could save money and a lot of men who could think and plan and a lot of men who could work, all have been helping each other. Such structures and achievements mean cooperation of the highest and finest ‘The ideal of good business is that every man shall have ag the chance to help in the way he best can. The inventor 4s a useful man, but some of the best inventors have been poor men. They could not make the things they dreamed of until other men came to their aid. But the men who tad money could not bring out the inventor's idea with- Out the aid of the men who were willing to do ordinary iS days’ work. All three would be at a standstill unless they were willing to help each other. sj Some figures were issued recently about three of the ‘argest concerns in the United States. Together they ma had over 200,000 stockholders. That meant that all those people had put in their savings to do business together WHY WE LAUGH Men and women laugh because they are amused. This, at least, has been the universal theory; but a London psychologist comes forward with the self-contradictory theory that the really happy man never laughs and that the unhappy man cannot laugh. According to this authority, the laugh is a hideous grimace, the smile alone being beautiful and permissible. It all depends on who does the laughing, whether it is beautiful or comparable to the snarl of the hyena. Per- haps it is because we are so used to laughter, thanks be unto Infinite Wisdom, that these dicta will strike most of us as the twaddle of a seeker for notoriety. It is true that there are all sorts of laughter, some of it unpleas- ant and some aroused by a sense of the ludicrous, but in its more welcome sense the word betokens harmless mer- riment and a reflection of the charm and beauty of living.

As a member of this vast public I have no desire to minimize the im- Portance of “pleasantness.” Still, after listening in on some sessions which waitresses and other employes have with the most despicable members of the human species, I wonder if this “the public is always can in justice be demanded of them. Moreover, I wonder if it’s good for the Public to be aided and abetted in di and utter lack of selt- control because the waitress or usher is forbidden to “talk back.” Pleasant- ness is very well, but there are times when meekness ceases to be a virtue.

L. J. asks: “Is there such a thing as ‘menta] poisoning?’ Doubtless you have heard the old say- ing that ‘Worry will kill.’ Will you explain the yori ad the brain to the nervous if Answer: There is no doubt that destructive emotions, such as worry. Langer, fear and anxiety will produce poisonoussubstances within the blood. I have written numerous articles dealing with the value of a mental ‘calmness for maintaining health. It lis, believed that the ductless- glands are active in the formation of some of these toxic substances. There is yet room for much scientific investi- ‘gation about “mental poisons.” Dried Lima Beans Question: H. J. writes: “Having but little means, I would like to usc the dried kidney beans or the limas. Will you kindly Instruct me as to which of the two is best, and if about an hour's slow boiling would be about right, and if a little soda would make them less gassy?” Answer: Dried limas are a little less gas forming than the other beans and are much more alkaline |torming. They should be very well cooked if they are to be digestible. Beans always have a tendency to pro- ducing flatulence. I do not advise the use of soda in beans. Lump and Cancer Question: Mrs. H. W. writes: “TI have a small lump in my breast — been there thirteen years. It has not altered in size during that time. Do you advise it being removed or do you think there is danger of cancer? {I dread an operation, but cancer still ‘more.” | Answer: Operations for lumps in the breast are entirely successful if the lump has not become cancerous. So you need not fear such an opera- tion, and in fact, it may allay your fears of your trouble if you have the lump removed surgically.
