waitress to. be met with in a number ot places in Chicago.

HsNs -AeNs ssf waitress to be met with in a number ot places in Chicago.
 Of course there are numerous excep. tions among the girls, almost enough to merit sweeping condemnation; but we have in mind waitresses at the tea rooms in the three best depart. ment stores here. and pronounce them well trained in their work, we'll man. nered. well intentioned. ~
 In the restaurants and hotels where meals are served at all hours of the day the wonder is that any of them are able to keep up an appearance of good humor, a show of willingness to perform their tasks. In the tea rooms the hours are comparatively short, no breakfasts being served; but in the other places 1t means getting up at five for many girl. being ready for work at seven. The intermissicns are short: the serving must be con. tinued to a late hour of the evening. When does the waitress get any tirne for quiet, for diversion? It is easy ior theorizers to assert working people, if they would but divide their hours properly, be systematic, could get a good deal out of life. The waitress would have to draw on her sleeping time pretty heavily, it seems to us.

grows at an astonishing pace and pres ently may fill that ward it's little leaven once affected so slightly. It's latest contribution of excellent things is a club house. Yesterday saw the formal opening O. the Hull House Woman's Club building, considered one of the most complete assembly halls to be found in the town. It adds very handsomely to the Hull House group.
 The house. which cost 5000, is tho gift of Mrs. Louise De Koven Bowen. . woman that gives generously of time and money towards bettering condi. tions among the poor.
 From without, Hull House buildingc look more or less dispirited by the dirt and crowded conditions about them; but within. everywhere one is impressed by artistic arrangement and coloring, by the fact that a love for the beautiful as we'll as . love for hu- manity reigns here. The new building expresses this in high degree; the hall where . meeting of 800 people can be held, Is very pleasing with its yellow curtained windows. its dark Flemish oak furnishings; in the library and reading room is Q bronze memorial tablet to the memory of . former president of the Hull House Woman's club. The inscription reads:
 GAS more exposed to suffering and distress, Thence also more alive to tenderness."

Judge Mack has also ordered. that no child under the care of the juvenile court is to be whipped or otherwise brutaliy punished. This is sweeping order. and affects a number of juvenile institutions.
 The principal under whose orders one of the boys in the John Worthy school received corporal punishment appeared before Judge Mack and gave as explanation for the order that the boy under consideration, one Ike Dorf. had indulged in succeeding days of outrageous conduct prior to the whip ping. and that the punishment was tried as last resort. He swore at the teachers. He would not study his les sons. In three years at the school he had advancel but half grade. Certainly hard proposition. Judge Mack dismissed the cases against the accused instructors. who. by the way. have been removed from the school, but gave forth warning to all teach CTS dealing with wards of the juveniis court: "I want to give public warn- ing to all persons having care of chil- dren of the juvenile court that thers must be no beatings of their charges. I am not going to discuss the merits of corporal punishment. We have reached stage in civilization in which it has been declared bad for the chil! and bad for the state to whip cni!- dren. This court believes it is bad for all parties concerned and does not approve of any brutality in any form. No corporal punishment will be tol- erated by this court and I take this occasion of giving public warning to all persons having control of children to resort to no extreme measures vith- out advising with me in advance"

DOCS AND HOG CHOLERA. How the Running at Large of the Former Increases the Spread
 of the Latter.

We attribute the small amount of hog cholera the past season very largely to the fact that strict orders are issued to residents of infected townships that alk dogs must be confihed to the owner'e premises, says Dr. s. H. Ward, secretary of the Minnesota live stock sanitary board. Notices are also posted in con. spicuous places forbidding the hunting with dogs. The chairmen of local boards are instructed to see that these orders are enforced. Occasional trips are made by an officer of this board to- see that these regulations are properly carried out. Failure on the part of the residents or health officers is met with prosecution. There is no question bus that the strict enforcement of these reg ulations limits the spread of the dis. ease. i9

DR.. HAROLD MADE INSPECTION
Of Water Supply and Report VIII
Soon Be Made.

Soon Be Made.
Citizens of Americus will be fully
informed in few days as to whether
there are germs or bacteria OF any des.
cription in the water supply, as a
thorough examination will be made this
week under an order passed at the
last meeting of the city council.
DR.. Charles @. Harold, an expert in
this line, will make the required
analysis of the water.
DR.. Harold was expected to come
down from Macon by the 1925 Central
train last night. He will secure samples
of water and examine them Thoroughly
in his laboratory.
Ii is not believed. however, that the
water will be found contaminated.
But such hue and cry has been
raised as the result of numerous cases
of fever here that the city conncil
ordered an analysis of water in order
to relieve public apprehension If the
water is not good the fact will be
known fully and very promptly.
Samples will be taken from various
sources, the city springs, artekian wells
from the mains direct, and from the
main ends.
Bnt i'll the meantime Sanitary In
spector Smith is finding all manner of
causes for typhoid fever. These con-
sist largely of old surface closets, hog
pens galore, and, worst of all, aban-
doned wells filled to the tops with rot
ting and reeking matter.
In one Old we'll was found a barrel oil
decsyed vegetables.
These death traps were found in 10
calities where numerous cases of ty
phoid fever still exist, pointing directly
to the cause of this dangerous disease
it would seem.
Bunches Of hogs were found in many
lots along Lee and Church streets, ant
are just as numerous in other Iocalitle
as there. All over Americas the hog
pen is found, either concealed or open
and right there is found typhoid feve
also, and plenty of it.
It is all right to examine the waite
supply, but the sinking pen is a self
evident fact.

investment, and paid price for ltrun-

in Americus. Mr.. Wheatley returned
