Married men are not wanted as
nurses and attendants at St Eliza
betha.
I'VE prefer to have single men who
can stay on the place TO be on hand
if there is any trouble. Naturally a
married man will have outside ties
which may distract his attention from
his work
The whole wage scale is especially
arranged TO provide for the single man
who gets his sustenance and lodging
place free at the hospital, and thus
makes clear money on his salary
This in substance was the statement
made yesterday by DR.. w. A. White,
superintendent of the Government Hos
pital for the Insane, In explanation of
the controversy which has arisen at the
hospital in regard TO the pay Of attend
ants and nurses.
There are nearly 800 of these employees
at the hospital Their union recently
made a protest 10 the authorities. II
now develops, however, that while in
two instances the reclassified scale
which DR.. White has just put into effect
deducts from employees salaries. it adds
on a slight Increase to several others
so that the original complaints have
been forestalled.
The union will now take I'D, II is I'M
derstood, the question of present sala-
ries paid to the nurses at the hospital
urging advances on the score that they
are too small to support married men.
One of these union men said yesterday
The salary for nurse is $S5 a month,

No Married Men Wanted
As Nurses at Hospital
St. EliZabeth'S Has Places Only for Those Who
Will Sleep There--Union Will Debate
Question With the Superintendent

and how can a man support family on
that? The hospital DOES not allow us
to bring our wives there. and if mar.
ried man gets employment at the hos
pital he places himself in a most en-
barrassing situation
II is probable the Hospital Attendants
Union will present this matter to the
board OF trustees of the hospital at
their next meeting, which will be held
soon
The position of DR.. White with regard
to employing single men is determined;
He takes the view that with small
staff of attendants, such as is now al
lowed il is absolutely essential that
they shall remain at the place at night.
Several times IL has been known 70
happen that the whole asylum, Whlch
now houses 2.500 patients, has been
plunged in darkness through the break
ing Of the electric light machinery. In
an emergency like this, which might
cause an outbreak Of madmen. ii is re-
garded as essential that each attendant
shall be ready TO stand by the particu-
lar group of patients whom he has
learned to understand and to be able to
control.
Dr. White, at the next meeting of the
board of trustees. intends to further
systematic the wage scale at the asy-
lum. He will recommend II be arranged
on the sliding scale basis, giving an in
crease of pay for length of service and
by grades of PROMOTION.
Until the present" said DR.. White,
there has practically been no system at
all in the wage scale. 1t has not been

In Our Mothers Tine.
QUAINT FASHIONS OF DRESS IN
THE WAR PERIOD.

IN RESS has changed very much
in the past forty years, in fact
~ 1t hardly seems credible that
American women wore such
immense hoop-skirts third of a CEN
tury ago. Dress has changed materially,
but the standard remedy for women has
not. 1t is the same now as it was in our
mothers time
In the old days it was sometimes con-
sidered fashionable to be delicate, pale
and with an inclination to faint at the
least provocation. It is different now
America is raising a strong race-a race
OF strong and vigorous mothers. When
a woman becomes nervous, suffers from
backache, sleeplessness, a general tired
cut and tagged feeling, with dragging
down pains, she turns TO the right rem
edy. She IS positive she can get relief
and assistance from DR.. Pierce.
Backed up by over a third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a
record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained, the proprietors of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay
$500 in legal money of the United States,
for any case of Leucorrhea, Female
Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure All
they ask is a fair and reasonable trial
Of their means Of cure.
There is every reason why women
should not trust their delicate constitu-
tons i'll the hands of unskilled persons.
1t requires a thorough medical education
to appreciate and understand the WONT
anly organism. Wher woman has ills
and pains that she cannot bear-wheu
life seems dark for any woman, she
should conide her troubles to physi-
clan of standing in the community, or
one who has 4 national reputation. Ger
tainly it would not be the part of wisdom
to confide in an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she
is zU0Nzan. There is every reason
why she should write to some great
specialist, one who has made the dis
eases of women a speciality for third OF
a century, like DIR. r. V. Pierce, founder
