Reports from the Unions are COM

Danger IN q New House.

Acquaint yourself, so far as possible,
with the principles Of good sanitation in
building operations; watch the work and
You are not likely to have faulty house.
There are plumbers who do their work on
sanitary principles. and who never leave
fever nests on their trails. The loveliest
house may be ruined by bungling sewer
connections. Many mysterious and often
fatal ailments are explainabie by intelh-
gent reference to hidden pipes and ducts.
Then. too, the plumbing may be perfect,
yet disaster may befall family who-are
in too great q hurry to get into their new
abode. It is fact. An old proverb says.
as to a new house: 1.-THE first year for nv
enemy; the second for my friend: the
third for myself" Newly finished houses
are often rceking with dampness. Walls
may seem TO be perfectly dry when the
p!astering is very damp. 1t is perilous TO
sleep in room newly plastered It is, Of
course, strong temptation TO rush into
and occupy q pretty and convenient
house.-Pioneer Press

4 class Of young women generally con-
sidered TO be in most enviable position,

which are often more laborious than the

parents are not wrong. Fathers and

been given the materials for mostsolemn
thought in the knowledge which comes
from history, from literature and from
political and social science, they shall be
allowed to carry thought into action.
Though duty forbids them to ask for a
career which would sequester them from
their home ministry, they have right
to that larger horizon, that broader field
of activity which their training has made
to them necessity, and failing which,

Such girls as these should be intro
ducad by their parents into philanthropic
work. The crying want Of the times is

thinkers. in all branches of work for

One great cause Of those difficulties
with which society is now graphing, the
labor problem and the problem Of pau

been making rapid progress, economic
science has been almost at standstill.
The study of economics has at last be.
