DEARTH OF SERVANT GIRLS.

| Six hundred girls answered an adver-
tisement of the Stobie Cereal company,
Of I'll North Second street, Monday, to
| take the places of fifty girls who had
| gene on a strike because their foreman
had called them a ''bunch of raggers.
A large percentage of the number were
| servants or domestics. They said they
had grown tired of their wonted duties
and wanted to try life in factory. AS
! previously stated, the firm retnstated
| thirty-five of their old hands, but refused
to take back the leaders of the strike
ST Louis has a famine in servants and
housemaids. Employment agencies say
that it is impossible to supply the de-
mand for good girls. The daily papers
are flied with want advertisements OF
this character.
John j. Marks, of the Stobie company,
said yesterday that his firms ADVERTISE
ment had convinced him that the wage
earning girls of the period would rather
toll hard all day in a factory than do
domestic. work, because, in the former in
stance they had their evenings to them
selves while employment in families
meant only one afternoon off week, or
two at best. THE compensation may not
be so great. he said, but it is. the
freedom that they want. We pay on an
Average S. a week to our girls. Some
other Factories pay as much, but many
less The average wages of housegtrls
amount to from $1S to SIS month and
board
I David Marks, president of the company,
said that he believed one reason for so
MANY girls seeking employment in fac
tories and deserving the house and
Kitchen was because they preferred to be
bossed by men. "Factory life has less
drudgery and gives the girls more time
for themselves, he said, land L have
found that women do not like to work
under those of their own sex as they do
when they accept places as servants. -
1t is estimated that 700 servant girls
might find good homes and profitable en-
ployments in St. Louis today. When al
most all of the 600 who applied to the
Stobie company for work were turned
away someone suggested to the girls to
answer the advertisements that had been
inserted in the daily papers for servant
girlss There was not one in the number
who signified q willingness to do so. Mr..
Marks advised some Of them to accept
the good homes that were thus opened
to them. but the united reply was mo
slop- lifting for us" Three women who
had taught school were among the appli-
ca1lts and were accepted by the company.
One woman who carried a baby wanted
TO pack the cereals in cartons, but when
she came the places had all been taken.
She Was advised to take a servants posi-
ton, where she might keep her little one
in comfort, but she said that she would
rather work in a factory at 81 week.

London Truth.
During one of the hottest of the re-
cent spells of hot weather a well-known
baronet came across three workmen en-
gagged on a job on his estate. One of
them remarked, as wOrkmen not infre-
quently do, on the dryness of the Job.
The heat had, perhaps, extended itself
to the baronet's temper at any rate, he
turned away with the reply: eff you
are thirsty, you know where the we'll is.
You will find pail there. Thinking
over his remark a-little later it flashed
across the baronet's mind that he had
given orders for three bottles of cham
payne to be put into the pail and low
cred into the well to cool for dinner. He
FASTENED to the well and discovered three

HOT CAMPAIGN
 1T NEW DECATUR
Candidates Growing Thick in
 Contest for City Offices
NOMINATIONS ARE MADE
Close Races Are Expected in the Con- tests-Ward Meetings Are Being Held Nightly and Candidates
 Are Hustllne-other News.

New Decatur, April 11-(Special.)- )-The municipal election will take place here May ', and the political pot is beginning to boil furiously
 The following officers are to be elected Mayor, clerk, marshal and one Alder man from each of the four wards.
 At mass meeting held in Ittner Hall In Second avenue, last night, the follow ing nominations were made: For Mayor, Thomas Turner and E. c. Payne, the present incumbent. For clerk, w. w. Vaught, Guy F. Ponder and James F. Morrow the present incumbent. For mar shai Jake c. Lance, M. D. Day, A. H. Greenbow and John M. Robinson. the present incumbent.
 Ward meetings will be held tonight for the nomination of Aldermen from the diff ferent wards.
 It Is the general opinion that the pres ent clerk and marshal will be reelected by large pluralities, but the Mayoralty campaign Is expected to become one of the closest and most warmly contested that has ever been held in this city.
 MT. Turner has filled the office of AL derman from his ward for many years and is foreman of the Louisville and Nashville blacksmith shop. He was a candidate for Mayor two years ago, but was defeated by MT. Payne, who has made a good Mayor. Owing to the pop ularity of the two men the race will be one of exceeding interest. Politics will play no part in the election.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad is contemplating building bridge across the river just above the city.
 The board of directors of the Decatur Land Company meet here on April Is, and the meeting Is being looked forward to with much interest. as 1t is expected that they will accomplish much for the future benefit of the city. It was learned that President Smith and several other Louisville and Nashville officials will meet the land company's board of d. rectors, but the nature of the proposed meeting could not be ascertained.
 Fruit-growers say that the fruit throughout north Alabama has not as yet been injured by the late cold weather, and they predict that it is now out of dan ger. A large crop is looked forward to this season.

What Women Say
 About SWamp-Root
To Prove What Kidney SWAMPROOT Will Do for YOU
 May a FREE.
Women as Well as Men are Made Miserable by Kidney and
 Bladder Troubles.

It used to be considered that only uri- traced to the kidneys. but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work So when your kidneys are weak or out of order you can under stand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems te fail to do its duty.
 If you are sick or feel badly,- begin taking the famous new discovery. pr. Kilmer's swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health trial will convince anyone a

 If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place 1t in glass or bottle and let 1t stand twenty four hours. If on examination 1t is milky or cloudy. If there is a brick-dust set ting, or If small particles float about in 1t, your kidneys are in need of inmed- late attention.
 Other symptoms showing that you need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, dizziness. irregular heart, breathlessness, saliow. unhealthy complexion, plenty of ambition but no strength

Made a New Woman of Me.

During three years I was frequently attacked with severe spells of sickness: many of these sick spells kept me in bed dangerously Ill, from three weeks to three months. under the constant care of the best physicians of Kansas City. The doc tors said my kidneys were not affected. but felt sure they were the cause of my trouble.
 Some doctors pronounced my case gall stones, and said I could not live without a surgical operation, to which I would never consent A friend suggested I try Dr. K1lmer's Swamp-Root. I began to take Swamp-Root regularly and when I had used only three f1fty-cent bottles l felt fine and was able to do more work than had done in four years. It has made a new woman of me. I have had only one slight attack since I began to take Swamp-Root. and that was caused by being drenched with rain and catching cold Stomach trouble had bothered me for years and had become chronic am now A years of age and feel much young CT than I did ten years ago. freely give this testimonial for the benefit of those who have suffered as have"
