no III,
We will say that
you apply for loan of 5000. You sign
notes for that amount bearing seven
per cent. interest, and make an as
signment of your salary to cover both
principle and interest, to which also is
added the cost of correction. You re-
ceive in cold cash possibly SIS, more
or less, depending entirely upon how
you are rated. If the notes are paid
promptly all goes we'll, the employer
knows nothing of your borrowing, and
when you have returned about $3.50 for
the SIS which you have received the
debt is cancelled
Should you miss payment on a note,
however, the ShylocK is there at once
to demand every ounce of his pound Of
flesh, nor do the pleadings of the af-
ficted or the homeless make one BIZ:
of difference to him. He is as cold
and heartless as a piece of steel, and
hounds the debtor for the last cent
with new and greater costs of collec-
ton added.
Men quit positions to escape, they
change their names and places of resi-:
dence, but a skilled corps of detectives
hunt them out, though it may take
months to do so, and the judgments
which the well-paid justices deliver
must be paid before peace can be de-
clared.

HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in a
little change in his diet says:
Il was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke-
nosha that treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then l had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times q
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take trip across the ocean, which
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when I started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then I began to study
my own case and learned of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co., so gave up coffee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using. Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually got better and
better until l am we'll now as l ever
was in my younger days, have no trou-
BILE and eat anything fit to eat.
I"Sometimes away from home I am
persuaded to drink coffee, but I only
take sip of it, for it tastes bitter and
dlsagreeable to me, but the longer use
Postum the better like it and the
better feel. could say a great deal
more Of my experience with Postum,

There are to-day two tunnels under
the Chicago river of which it is safe to
say that not one person in 10000 know

wagon through. One was built by the
Edison company as a conduit for its
electric wires, and the other is a part
of the tunnel system of the Illinois
Tunnel company. Neither of them will
be affected by the recent congressional
legislation ordering the lowering Of the
river tunnels, as both are some 40 feet

STRATEGY THAT SUCCEEDED
One Way to Get a Woman to Take
Her Hat Of in
Theater.

She sailed down the aisle just before tho
curtain rose for the matinee, an elegantly
dressed woman of middle age and more,
wearing a broad, black hat with long,
curvlng feather on it, She took seat in
front Of two young women and gave no:
the slightest intimation of removing that
marvellous tower of headgear, relates the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
pardon me, but would you mind re-.
moving your hat?"
This request apparently made not the
slightest impression on the owner of the
handsome plume, and few minutes
later the second young woman asked, in
tone somewhat louder than that of her
companions:
Would YOU please be 50 kind a. to take
The offender moved her head slightly.
but otherwise gave no response.
The victims Of fashion were silent for
few minutes and then one of them was
heard to say very distinctly to her friend:
,"Oh, well, perhaps she is a little bald
That, of course, explains it. Don't think

upon the salary assignment basis. The
notes which the borrower sign, and
which bear only legal rates Of interest.
are of value merely, as evidence should
the money-lender be sued for usury.
Not only is the employe bounded by
the money-lenders, but the employers
are seriously inconvenienced as well.
In the establishments where consider
able numbers Of people are employed
garnishees are of regular occurrence.
They increase the cost of bookkeeping.
and if one of these is disregarded.
through error or otherwise, the en-
ployer at once becomes liable, and
must pay the penalty.
For some months there was some
thing like an organized effort among
the employers to discourage the Dor
rowing habit by discharging every en-
ploye against whom garnishee was
entered, but it resulted in the loss of
so many good mechanics that it was
discontinued.
Out of this effort, however, grew q
plan established in some Offices and
factories to set aside fund from which
employees might borrow, and the
amount be taken from their pay in in
stallments. The trouble with this
plan has been to distinguish the honest
borrower, the one who borrowed be-
cause of necessity, and the dishonest
one who secured all he could and then
left his position. 1t is the old story OF
the innocent suffering for the sins of
the guilty.
1t seems that the only solution of
the problem will be the establishment Of
places operated in much the same way
as the state Pawners' society, where
the working classes may secure small
sums without other security than their
notes backed by salary assignments.

explanation to the


effect that the advertisements are in
tended to open the way for business,
and that they are in the business of
selling money instead Of loaning it.
There are many unitemized expenses
connected with the selling of money
which the purchaser must pay in addi-
ton to the legal rates of interest.
Like many another crying evil the
deepest dyed villain is not the one who
is receiving the greatest amount CT
condemnation at the hands of the pub
lie and the newspapers. The public
blame the men whose names appear on
the advertisements, the men who sit in
magnificently furnished Offices and
amuse themselves by playing with
piles of $40 gold pieces for the edifica-
ton of their customers, the men whose
names figure as plaintiffs in the suits
brought in the justice courts for judg-
ments against the unhappy mortals
who have bought of this gold and have
not paid the full measure they PROM
1sed to. These men, and the justices
who render the judgments against the
unhappy debtors, and the constables
who serve the garnishees, are fully de-
serving of whatever hard words may
be said of them, but the real founda-
ton of the nefarious business lies
deeper. The deepest-dyed villains of
the lot boast pious countenances, wear
Prince Albert suits, ride to and from
their places of business in decorous
eQuipages and pose before the world
as capitalists. They it is who furnish
the $50 gold pieces. The flashily
dressed man at the desk, the justice
and the constable are merely their SER
wants, with whom they divide the
profits Of the business.

size from 1914 to 16 feet, will drain
II, 900 acres of land, the sewerage of
which has previously gone into the
lake to contaminate the water supply.
When the Thirty-ninth street con-
duit, 20 feet in diameter, is completed,
and the enormous pumping station at
it's head is installed, there will be sent
into the drainage canal from this
source 1,400,000,000 gallons of water
per day, and with the completion of the
North Side intercepting sewer Is per
cent. of all Chicago's sewerage will be
carried over the canal dam at Lock-
port, instead Of into the river, as it has
been. The big pumps will draw from,
the lake four times as much water as
the city water works, and will increase
the flow over the Lockport dam to
about 100000 gallons of water per
minute. These pumps will not be ready
to run until next February, but some
relief will be had on July /. when set
of small pumps drawing 1000 gallons
of water per minute will be started.
The cost of the South Side sewer and
conduit has been about $3,000,OOO. One
million of this was spent in the con-
struction of the sewer south from Thir-
ty-ninth street, another million in
building the Thirty-ninth street con-
duit, and the third million in equip

was originally undertaken by a con-
