Worry Saps the Nervous System Worry over business or household duties, sudden shock, the insane quest for pleasure, the foolish at tempt to put a week of normal life into twenty-four hours, feverish over activity, the demand for sensational literature are all conductive to the aggravation of wear and tear on the nervous system.

The T. Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, OnL THIS SHAPE Millet, the French artist, son of a farmer and himself a farm laborer, has in his universally known pictures of—The Gleaners, The Man with the Hoe, etc., left a very graphic record of farming methods and their influence on farm workers of a century ago. Edwin Markham, the American poet, viewing The Man with the Hoe, interprets it to us with dramatic force in his poem of the same name when he says, Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw, Whose the hand that slanted back this brow; Whose breath blew out the light within this brain. Ringing ouT the challenge, he asks—-“Is this the thing the Lord, God made and gave dominion over land and sea”, and calls on “Masters, Lords and Rulers of all lands to straighten up this shape”. But each step in this great emancipation haS come by the introduction of some new labor-saving machine. Thus by liberating man from back-breaking, brain- deadehing toil, modern machinery has done more than all the masters, lords and rulers of all lands to straighten up this shape. For ninety years now Massey-Harris has played a conspicuous part in designing and making such labor-saving machines and in the development of power and power equipment for farm operations.
