There is a world Of philosophy in the rather crudely expressed
motto of a Chicago club. eff you can't boost, don't knock
Fickleness is a sure groundwork for the building Of an unre-

INDUSTRIAL conditions during the year have been
MNH exceptionally favorable for constructive social work.
XXI ~ There have been relatively few applications for assist

&M A genuine out-of-work case is very rare. The
uscmployed are SO mainly from choice or physical disability. FOR
WEARS THERE HAS NOT BEEN SUCH A CONSTANT De
MANI o. SKILLED AND UNSKILLED LABOR.
The quarterly bulletin OF the New York department Of labor
states that but six and two-tenths per cent. of the members of labor
organizations were idle through the winter months. In no other
resent year has the proportion fallen below ten per cent. This I'M
USUALLY favorable showing is NOT due to special conditions in in
dadual trades, but is general throughout all industries. THE FA-

Although there are no available statistics for unorganized labor,
the same conditions hold true. This is proved by the fact that rela-
lively few applications for assistance have been received.
Reports Indicate that conditions all over the country are as IA
vorabe as they are in the vicinity of New York.

SPs=SS At present the laws in the various states are SO diff
E@RlNA@H ferent that one who is engaged in interstate COM
&SMN1 mece is subject to great inconvenience.
For a number Of years effort has been made to get national
hesitation that will supplement the food laws OF the states, and apply
t. interstate commerce. Representative Brosus, Of Pennsylvania,
h6Aiy succeeded in drafting a bill which seemed to meet all the
o@ectons raised against such legislation. This bill was favoraby
reported and placed upon the calendar. A similar one was placed
- the calendar in the Senate. Before the bill was reached Mr..
Hoius died. AS he was the only congressman who had sufficient
iAerest to push the matter, it fell through.
During the last session Of congress a bill closely resembling that
d&aed by Nh. Brosus was introduced in the house by Mr.. Hep
Brn. Of Iowa, and in the senate by Mr.. McCumber, of South Dakota.
n both houses the bill was favoraby reported, but in neither did it
conne to a vote.
The only pure food measure which did pass was a bill. to prevent
h4ec branding and labelling This is a step in the right direction, but
BeES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH. The more comprehensive meas

Missioner responsible only to himself. To lodge such large powers

HERE is need of a national pure food law. a strin-

people from adulterated articles and from frauds.
1t would also benefit the manufacturers Of pure foods.
At present the laws in the various states are SO df-

She was lately a guest at some royal
function and the names of all the
guests were published except hers, out

known dislike of publicity. What does
this astute young woman do but indite
an epistIe to the editor of the offending
journal, mark it private and confiden-

was the only one left out in the list
of guests she had made up her mind
that the slight was intentional. Where

she is beautiful. One reason for her
dislike of the critics is because they
have consistently denied that she is in
any sense the author Of anything that
might be called literature and have
failed to accord her a seat among the

The above headlines recite the
actual experience Of a poor wreck of
a woman who had once held an hon

Her health began to fail, and instead
of taking rest and proper medical
treatment she resorted to stimulants
and morphine.
The hospital physician discovered
that her primary trouble was an
affection of the womb, which
could readily have been cured in the
first stages. If when she had first
felt those severe pains in the back,
the terrible headaches, the constant
sense of fullness, soreness and pain
in the pelvic region, she had needed
the warning that serious trouble was
in store, and commenced a regular
treatment with the Pinkham Rene
dies, as did Mrs. Rober of Chicago,
whose letter follows, the polypus
in the womb would have been dis
solved and passed away, and to-day
she would have been a well woman.

There is no excuse for any woman
who suffers to go without help. Mrs.

cure female ills:

female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened, read and an
swered by women only. A woman

has gained the very knowledge that

The Housewives of Edenrise-By Florence
Popham. Published by D. Appleton 6
A well told tale of modern middle-class
life, as the writer sees it in an English
town not very far from London, is this
in the first person by Mrs. Howard Jones.
The dialogue is brilliant in spots, and
the writer's sprightly but not ill-natured
satire prevents the readers interest from
simply upon the story itself. Indeed. the
tale has little dramatic interest. 1t Is
too true to life for that. There are seldom
dramatic possibilities in suburban mid
dIe-class life. But there are characters,
and these with which she has peopled her
book the writer has drawn with a clever
pen. Here are some of the snappy
things Mrs. Howard Jones says: 1T does
not please me to be called a sensible
woman" she objects, when her husband
bestows upon her that title, "for l know
1t is almost as bad as .estimable,' or
clean, honest and Industrious applied
to a female, or a good husband to a man.
One knows that in those cases the per-
other virtues" you see" her husband
remarks to her, zone has to care a good
deal for a person to be really jealous
