Sneak War Upon Women,

The silent, social revolution by which
women are entering into fields of labor
is heard from every now and then in
some new quarter. The latest novelty
in the way of women's work has come
to the front in curious way.
A large concern, manufacturers of
baking power, has the advantage over
powerful opposition from the fact that
the article it turns ont is actually pure
and free from drugs. The problems was
how to impress this foIcibly upon the
public mind. In the first place, hst
of all the ingredients Nsed was printed
upon every package. This was very
well, but the company went step fur
ther, and hit upon an original plan.
A number ot bright young women
were given few lessons in chemistry,
and were taught a simple test which,
would reveal instantly and beyond
question the presence of ammonia and
alum (drugs commonly used in the
young women were then sent out
through the country, going from house
to house, instructing housewives how to
find out whether their baking powder
was pure or not.
1t appears that baking powder mas
querading as absolutely pure" is really
adulterated with ammonia, (rather a
profitable business, by the way, yield
ing to the owners about 81 100000 per
year proft,) and when the presence OF
the concealed ammonia" is clearly
shown by the tests of the lady canvass
ers, the good housewife is startled, for
no woman would use any article of food
containing ammonia if she knew it.
The vials of wrath Of the absolutely
pure" baking powder company are then
opened. They do not deny the use of
ammonia, but they attack the charact-
ers of the young women. In the city
where they happen to be working the
press teens with paid reading notices
warning people against them, suggesting
that they are ''sneak thieves" or
"tramps," or that ''grocers are in
censed," etc., or that their tests are
''tricks, !" or they are Crying to de-
fraud" or anything else to prevent
housekeepers from seeing them.
Now. this is the last country in the
world where a powerful corporation
even can hope to win in a sneak war on
women who are honestly working for an
honest living.
Instead of soaring them out of busi-
ness by calling them bad names. they
have only reused the girls grit, and
now they are in the fight to stay with
all the sympathy of the public solidly
with them.-[New York Recorder.
