Uncle Sans
Fair Helpers.

The aggregate number OF women on
the payroll of the United States Govern
ment is growing continually and rapidly.
Much has been said of late regarding
Uncle Sans seeming preference for
masculine employees In the government
departments at Washington. and II must
be admitted that In some lines of work
partlality has been shown to members
of the sterner sex. but this Ia by no
means universal and new recruits are
continually being added to the army OF
feminine toilers at the capital. Few
persons have any conception OF how
wide is the scope OF the service which
Uncle Sans fair heipers-by no means
all of them located in Washington-are
rendering. The tasks assigned to them
include everything from the delivery OF
mail on lonely rural routes to the deteo-
ton of the tell-ta1e flaws in the clever
est counterfeits which are put forth. and
II must be admitted that in almost
every sphere of governmental activity
they have proven themselves worthy TO
rank with men of equal experience.
The women OF the country may be
gratified TO know. also, that there are
women in some OF the big workshops at
the seat of government whose ability
represents the very highest order of
skill to be found anywhere. even In this
age of specialization: who do work that
II has been concluslvely proven no man
can successfully undertake; and who are
as nearly Indispensable as II Is possible
for any employe to be In this age. SO
well is this realized in certain cases
that the government not only pays very
high salaries to these women, but min
listers to their comfort In every way In
order that their health may be preserved
and that they may continue at work
even when somewhat indisposed.
Moreover, new fieids Of activity fol
women In the government service are
Just opening. Uncle Sam is sending out
women teachers to look after the needs
Of the little folks in Porto Rico. the
Philippines and our other new, posses
sions. and ever since the Spanish-Amer-
lean War the War Department has
maintained as a permanent organization
the Corps of Army Nurses. There are
on an average fully 200 women in this
service, and they are caring for sick
soldiers in the Philippines and at vari--
GUS camps and hospitals scattered
throughout the United States. 1t ID

practical training in army nurse work

Mrs. Roosevelt seldom ventures into
the water, but all the children are ex-

and aquatic sports of various kinds all
receive their full share of attention.
One of the attractive features of the
summer life of the Roosevelt family at
Oyster Bay is found in the oft-repeated
exemplihcations of a charming "chum-
myness" between the President and his
wife. All the world knows that the en-
crossing cares of politics and his varied
interests have not served to draw the
President away from the close COM
partnership with his children, In which
he has always found such delight; and

serve to convince any person that there

Roosevelt has. furthermore. endeared
herself to her neighbors In the little

her friends in the old days before her
husband attained to high Official posi-

person could look at the great rambling

and not appreciate that 1t was built for
comfort and rest and relaxation. and
that all of these may be found within
its shelter. The Roosevelt home will
especially appeal to persons who find
a certain degree of solitude and isola-
ton conducive to rest. President Roose-
Welt says that he abhors the idea of liv-
ing 'in my neighbours pocket" and SO
he has set down his charming country
home where there is no other house in

Although much money is spent by
even comparatively poor people on the
clothes for the little ones by the proud
mother and father of the young hope
fuls, yet no class of human beings Is
so frightfully Ill treated In the matter
of health creating and fostering gar
ments as the children. And no persons
require more care In the selection and

young people. In the child the body sur

both are equally healthy. The child's
heat-producing qualities are compara-

BY wearing real wool next to the SKIN
children are enabled to do without cum

seem to gain and hold their favor be-

Roosevelt devotes the morning to the
