where children under 16 are not en-
plOyed and where no goods are given out
to be made up in homes. The object of
the league is to protect the labOrers and
the consumers-the former from the
hard conditions under which they strug
gle and the consumers from the danger
of disease and cOntagion which attach to
the products of the sweat shop and the
tenement house. More than anything
else. said Mrs. Kelly, the league needs
numbers. The Topeka federation could
help by appointing a standing committee
to confer with a committee from the
National league and by organizing
leagues throughout the state. The west,
she said, had been Indifferent to the
child labor and sweat shop evil because
in the west there are no sweat shops and
no child 1aborers, but the west" she
added, is clothed entirely with the pro-
duct OF the sweat shop, and doubt If
there is a woman here today who is not
wearing something which little children
have helped to make" Men, Mrs Kelly
said, were far ahead of women in the
encOurag cement of faVOra Bile conditions
for workers in factories. It had been q
great humiliation to her in her work to
learn that not the cheapest but often the
best and highest-priced products were
made under the most wretchedIy IN
sanitary conditions. THE working men
who for years have refused to buy any
thing that did not bear the union label
have made the conditions in the factories
where the cheapest cigars and tobacco,
the meanest beer, the coarsest clothing
are produced the best and most COM
mendable in the country
The trouble, Mrs. Kelly said, is not to
persuade retailers to furnish the things
which bear the label of the National
Consumers League for their customers
but to persuade the consumers to take
interest enough in the matter to buy
them.
Following Mrs. Kelly's talk a motion
by Mrs. Eugene Ware was made and
carried to endorse the work of the
league and refer the matter to the civic
committee of the federation.

The Imperial laundry is n of the
best ~laundries in the southwest, Inc
there are very excellent reasons why
it should be so. Primarily, the bust
ness having oeen founded only a few
months ago, there is no old machin-
cry to handicap the operatives; the
equipment is new throughout, and
comprises the latest patterns from the
best factories on tie continent. Sec
ondarily, the management employs
only the most efficient help. Other
considerations are good soap, good
water and-competition.
The present owners of the Imperial
laundry purchased the plant in 1900,
and w. l.. Edgar, the manager OF the
company, has been conducting the
business since June 1, of tina year
He has taken the greatest pride in
maintaining the highest character OF
work, as well as in making punctuai
deliveries, and his strict to
business, in conjunction with the cour'
tesies too often confined to social In
tercourse, has secured him much OF
the best patronage in the city and sur
rounding towns.
