WHY GIRLS PREFER THE SHOP.
They Have Greater Freedom Than in
Dom estic Employment.

The Labor Bureau of the state of
Wisconsin has been investigating the
subject of feminine labor and collect
ing reasons why girls prefer work in
factories and stores to household ser
vice. Inquiries were sent to T69 per-
sons. Among the answers were these:
If ladies would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment and
warmer beds and let them live indie
pendently more girls would do house
work.
| love housework. but, like a host
of other girls, refuse to do it under
present conditions.
The reason | won't do housework
is because | will not be treated like
half a slave and always a nobody.
None of the girls | know would do
housework because a girl who does
it is always looked upon as kitchen
drudge, always on duty and seldom
treated justly.
| am treated better in the factory
in every way and, besides, | am no
longer obliged to entertain in the
kitchen or receive my friends at the
back door, since l can live at home
with my own people.

Vibration Cure in London.

London society's latest craze is the
vibration cure, as practiced by a
Swedish specialist. The vibrationist
claims to be able to cure anything and
everything by his treatments, a claim
which is supported by Adelina Patti
among others. Nerve troubles. pneu-
monia, appendicitis, all are vibrated
out of the system in miraculous fash
ion. Palming, faith healing and crys-
tai gazing have given way for the mo-
ment to the vibrationists, whose par
lors are crowded with fashionable and
foolish women.

BRUSH SURE OF
SUGAR FACTORY

Denver. Nov 30.-A Brush special to
the Republican last night says:
At a mass meeting of farmers held
here to-day it was definitely settled
that a sugar factory of COO tons capac-
city should be erected as soon as pos
sible. Excavating for the foundations
will be commenced before the end OF
the year. The factory. it is expected,
will be in operation in September. 1903.
Dyer & Co, of Cleveland. Ohio, have
had a certified check on deposit with
the Brush bank for some time to back
their proposition to build n factory AZ
soon as 5000 acres for beet culture
could be guaranteed. At the mass
meeting to-day 1000 additional acres
were pledged making total of 5,Sl5
acres guaranteed. The representative
of the company expressed himself as
satisfied with the outlook and tele-
graphed that work would be COM
menced as soon as satisfactory con-
tracts could be secured.
The meeting was enthusiastic. The
land contracted to the manufacturers
is the best the state affords 1t is level
and fertile and is under Two nj the
best bitches in the state. The farmers
in this district have thousands of acres
