which simply stupefy the germs, causing

There is servant girl famine in
St. Louis. The state employment
bureau, which is looked on as last
resort by most housekeepers, is more
than 200 applications behind with
this kind of help. The supply of
women servants as fast as it comes
is drained by the factories and shops.
Girls prefer the hardships of the lat
ter employments to homework, and
refuse good homes and excellent
wages for much lower wages in
stores and factories. The state en-
ployment bureau thinks that men
will eventually come into use as
house servants, as many are already
going into such service, and are per
forming the duties better than wo
men, and at the same time are get
ting higher wages.
