Domestic Service,

Most women will tell you that their
maids make demands unsuitable to their
station in life, and that with every com
fort supplied them, kindness and consid-
Grafton constantly shown them, they ex.
hibit antagonism and ingratitude toward
their employers. Few of them are faith
full, few of them well trained none of
them equal to the emergencies of house
keeping without constant supervision
Yet whatever the fault of the individual
servant may be, she can find employment
usually with little difficulty and wages
out of all proportion to her worth The
demand for good services being larger
than the supply, this state of things is
likely to grow steadily worse until the
remedy is found, and the discussion of the
problem is general, though the different
theories evolved are always ignored when
the housekeeper finds servant she can re-
tain, and no effort is continued against
the next emergency Women are suffering
keenly from this state of things, and their
sufferings will increase until they are
forced to make "A steadfast effort to find
the root of the difficulty.
1t is the ono employment in which ev
cry part of the laborer's life, night and
day, is under the control of the employer
There is no hour of time, no portion of
space, that belongs to the employee. y
kind mistress may accord them privileges,
but intelligent. self respecting women re
quire rights.
In almost any other business the EN-
ployee is able to turn her back on the
scene of her labors when the work of the
day is finished, and the remaining time is
her own 1t may be that the time is un
reasonably short, the surroundings un
pleasant, but they are the absolute proper
ty of the worker, and she knows that
there is always possibility that increased
ability will secure higher pay and more
leisure, giving her greater opportunity for
that pursuit of happiness" which Is her
most precious right, and which invariably
includes social intercourse.
Domestic service alone denies this right
Good housekeepers do not desire or allow
their servants to enjoy it in their homes.
The women have no homes to which they
can take friends, and If sufficiently intel
ligent to enjoy music, lectures, the theater
and valuable companionship they would
not be allowed to avail themselves of the
privileges. If they are not intelligent, as

that give tableaux as part of their ball

the fact that the oldest and wealthiest of
them, the Mystic Knew of Comus, intrusts
the designing of its parade to young

AIDES woman has been acco' I'd property

now claims those equal rights IN every di

Let there be no fear that woman will
unsex herself She is woman by natures

free her and let her expand into the per

wifehood her destiny, motherhood her

A Young Woman as a Designer.

If you happen to he n visitor in New
Orleans at the carnival season, viewing
the wonderful Mnrdi Gras festivities, you
will surely be prompted to ask in aston
lshment, who does it," and How Is it
doneN' and you will be apt to find some
one at your elbow in the crowd who will
volunteer in proud tones to inform you, If
1t Is Mystic Knew of Comus parade, that
"all this was gotten up by young wom-
an, and the chances are that if you are
at all curious you can have a biographical
sketch of the talented artist given you on
the spot You will be told that she is Miss
Jennie Wilde and possesses besides the
gift of the brush clever pen that has
lained for her more than local reputa
lion rs poet.
Besides ability it requires considerable
pluck to undertake the work of so large
an enterprise, at least ore involving so
large an expenditure of money as u pro
cession. These pageants even run on
economical lines, seldom cost less than.
$4,000. Miss Wilde's courage in stand
ing responsible for the success of a great
parade that is viewed by many thousands
of people might also be counted as hered
ity, for on the maternal side she had for
grandfather no less soldier than General
Wilkinson of Revolutionary fame, who
was for several years commander in chief
of the United States army, in one instance
Immediately succeeding General Washing
ton.
AS to how the work is DONE Miss Wilde,
On being interviewed, said: Il am given
simply the name of the subject and have
to think up, read up, imagine and then
design floats, costumes invitations, tab
leaux, souvenir pins, dancing programmes
and further arrange the plates for the
newspapers.
There are, as a rule, more than 90
floats for IA Mystic Krew procession. Each
one requires the painting of a picture on
a cardboard about IS by "a. Then each

Mugwump Reasoning,

The mugwump processes of reason
lug are indeed past finding out. All
roads led to Rome in ancient times.
All connections in the air, all events
on the earth, everything in the waters or
the regions beneath, contribute to the
fame and glory of Grover Cleveland,
in the rapt estim ,tiol Of his worship
ers. Some one has said that he ex
poets, from now on, five as good bust
ness years as the country has known
for half a century. Thereupon the
Springfield Republican hobs up and
pipes in ec,tatcally, eff this ma1
proves to be prophet, Grover Cleve-
land will go into history as one of the
most successful presidents this republic
has had" What connection could there
be between President Cleveland and
the ful6llment of the prophecy? Iu
the repeal of the silver purchase clause
of the Sherman act? Mr.. Cleveland
was very much in evidence at the time
that the repeal would be followed at
once by.an Astounding prosperity and
that the act was absolutely necessary to
stay the depletion of the gold reserve
and to prevent the sale of bonds to
maintain the national credit. Any con-
nection here between the president and
fulfillment of prophecy? Will the five
good business years be credited to the
German TARIFF Mr.. Cleveland stamped
that act as a measure of peridy and
dishonor, so repugnaut to his notions
of tariff reform that he refused to sign
it. These are the only measures affect
ingithe industrial interests Of the coun-
try with which the president can be
credited with having any connection,
direct or indirect, near or remote.
Everything else The has favored and
commended to congress has been re-
jected. Only a blear-eyed and idola-
trous mugwump could discern any pos
sible connection between the presi-
dent and coming era of prosperity.
If five years of good business are
ahead, the more rational assignment of
effect 10 cause would be the return of
the republican party to power.

Make neighbors wish that they were in"2

Begin their everlasting row."
Those boys-those horrid boysl
who soon come home with jackets torn,
And put the blame-not where tits worm
Those.boysi
And then, when mothers needles DONE
Are ready to rene their fun2
Those boys those fearful boys
Who first the ripened melons see,l
And eat their fill with silent glee2
Those boysl
And make the sturdy Farmer John
Declare he'll put the cowhide ON
Them boys them pesky boys"2
Who welcome in each coming day,
AS bringing them continued play2
Those boysl
Who nsught of life's stern duties know,
But laughing, running, onward go7
Those boys-those careless boysl
But cease awhile my darkling view,
And give at last their rightful due

And, make, some day our nations men7

At this season everyone should take

from Nature for help, and unless there

This demand can only be met by

elements to be found in Hoods Sarsa-

az cannot praise Hoods Sarsaparills
enough for what it has done for my boy.
Some four years ago, when six years old,
George was attacked by hip disease in his
right leg. We had to get him a pair of
crutches, with which he was able to move
about, but became badly deformed. We
had to have his right leg lsnced just above
the knee. In few weeks a second sore
broke out, both discharging freely. Agon-
tzing pains afflicted him, he could not bear
to be moved, his growth was stopped and

The Baby in the Bath.

Try some way of amusing Your child If
he cries during his bath--a cork which
will bob about with every movement of
the water, or an eggshell with the con
tents blown out In fact, any little thing
which will amuse a child will attract his
attention and prevent his crying during
the process of bathing Once the child is
broken of the habit Of crying this triding
amusement will be unnecessary.

Vtaiz and Enrich the

"My mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth
Wolfe, at the age of 70 years, was at
tackled with violent form of salt
rheum; it spread all over her body,
and her hands and limbs were dreadful
to look at. At the same time, my
little daughter Clara, who was just one
year old, was attacked oy similar
disease, like scrofula. 1t appeared in
Large Sores
under each side of her neck; had the
attendance of the family physician and
other doctors for Il long time. but
seemed to grow worse. | read of
many people cured of scrofula by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. AS soon as we
gave Hoods Sarsaparilla to Clara, she
began to get better, and before the first
bottle was gone, the sores entirely
healed up and there has never been
any sign of the disease since. She is q
Healthy Robust Child.
Her grandmother took Hoods Sarsa-
parilla at the same time, and the salt
rheum decreased in its violence and a
perfect cure was soon effected. Ittook
about three months for her cure, and
she ascribes her good health and
strength at her advanced age to Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t has certainly been a
Godsend to my family" Mrs. SOPHIA

in . short time he has q mere skeleton.
He had no appetite, and it was hard work
to make him eat enough to keep him alive.
A few weeks later we had his hip lanced,
and following this five other eruptions
broke out, making eight running sores in
all. We did all we could for him, but he
grew weaker every day, although we had
three of the best physicians. AS last re-
sort we were prevailed upon by relatives
who had taken Hoods Sarsaparilla with
beneficial results to give the medicine a
trial. We got one bottle about the first
of March, and he had taken the medi-
cine only few days when his appetite be-
gan to improve. When he had taken one
bottle he could move about little with
his crutches, which ne had not been able
to use for the preceding three months. We
continued faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa
rilla, and in six months he was
Able to be Dressed
and go about the house without the
crutches. He has now taken Hoods Sar-
saparilla regularly for eighteen months,
and for the past six months has been with
out the crutches, which he has outgrown
by several inches. The sores have all healed
with the exception OF one which is rapidly
closing, only the scars and an occasional
limp remaining as reminders OF his suffer-
ing. Hoods Sarsaparila in his case has
truly done wonders, and he is daily gain
ing In flesh and good color. He runs about
and plays as lively as any child. We feel
an inexpressible JOY at having our boy re-

Great Britain's Behring Sea Claims,

Secretary Gresham asked congress TO
appropriate 1925, 900 to pay the Behring
Sea seizure claims. Congress refused.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, chairman
of the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, was one of the arbitrators on
the part of the United States before
the Paris tribunal. Anything he has to
say respec citing the Behring Sea matter
is entitled to high credence. He was
not permitted to publish in the Con-
gressional Record state ment of the
account between Great Britain and the
United States, which would show that
the claim for damages made by the
former government for the capture of
sealing vessels was excessive, but his
statement has appeared in the news
papers since congress adjourned. He
shows that "the United States did not
agree to arbitrate any such claim or de-
mand, and have never admitted any
liability to Great Britain connected
with any such claim or demand. They
have only agreed to negotiate respect
ing it, expressly reserving the question
of such liability as the subject of such
negotiation" Mr.. Morgan insists that
negotiations shall settle the question of
damages and that it shall not be evaded
by any scheme to settle without nego-
tiations.
In the important matter of the
amount of the seizure claims and the
extent of the actual damages, which
Secretary Gresham would settle for
$425,000, Senator Morgan's statement
is very interesting. The amount
claimed by Great Britain, with interest,
is $542, 1926. Mr.. Morgan gives the
names of the vessels and the claims
made on their behalf. These claims
were inflated by the inclusion of pro-
spective earnings or speculative dam
ages which could not be allowed. The
Geneva tribunal, in the Alabama case,
decided that there was no ground for
awarding the United States anything
under this head. 1t appears further
that ten vessels were in fact owned by
citizens of the United States, whereas
the claim of Great Britain is based on
the supposition that every vessel was
owned by British subject. The total
amount claimed by Great Britain is
$542, 1926. The total amount of
claims presented by citizens of the
United States is 1855, 1884, 80. The
balance, 1882, 1883, is the amount
claimed by those who are bona fide
British owners. In this balance, specu-
lative damages to the extent of SILL
39l are included. Discarding these
the balance which the British interests
can illegally claim is reduced to So,
924.53. Deducting from this personal
claims to the extent of $34 1886, there is
left 36,2S8 SO in which is included
SIG, 500, the disputed claim of the
Henrietta" less speculative damages
The total amount the British sub
jects could possibly claim, according tc
Mr.. Morgan's contention-and he is at
expert authority in this matter-i'
$40, 1924 and accrued interest. But this
sum, which is $471 ,244 less than the
British claims presented, and 1854, 07t
