R[FUGEESFORCIBLY
TAKE HOUSES.

Refugees have taken forcibie pos
session of certain relief cottages in
Jefferson Park. refuse to give the
houses up and propose to compel the
Relief Corporation to take the matter
into the courts The corporation has
consulted an attorney and eJectment
proceedings may be begun within few
days.
The trouble originates in the stop
ping of building operations in the
parks by the Park Commissioners.
The original plan was to build $50 cot
tages in Jefferson Square. Four hum
dred families living within the park
applied for houses there and as many
from without, 500 families in all. The
corporation thought to accommodate all
the people in the park and about fifty
families in addition. But when only
1855 cottages had been completed the
edict of the Park Commissioners went
out that the building should stop. Not
all the 165 cottages had been completed
and of these persons who have not been
living in the square, have taken pos
session. They will neither move out
nor pay rent.
The various refugee organizations
protest against paying rent for the
relief cottages and agitators are openly
advising the refugees to take possess
sion of cottages wherever they can
find them. Last Sunday word went out
that discortented refugees would take
possession of the cottages on LDbos
square. The authorities at Lobos were
prepared for the raid, but Sunday
passed off quietly and the raid did not
come But at Jefferson Square the
raiders, so-calied are in the houses,
and 1t is up to the Relief Corporation
to show what can be done about it. In
view of the limited number of houses.
the Jefferson Square incident is re-
garded as significant.
At Mission Park the Corporation is
confronted by a somewhat different
problem A widow, who has several
children, was evicted from her house.

Beauty is the external proof

comes failing beauty. Nom
ans delicate organism is re
quently over-taxed by arducg's
household duties, and the de-
mands Of society. The con-
slant drain upon her vitality
weakens her nervous system
The penalty is tired, worm
out, exhausted condition which
destroys her appetite, robs her
of rest, and at intervals causes
much suffering and distress.
When these conditions exist,
the weakened nerves must be
strengthened. Dr.Miles Nervine

ABOUT CLERKS
HOURS IN GERMANY,

A discussion Is going on In COM
mercial circles in Germany regarding
the respective merits Of the English
and German systems of arranging the
hours OF work In banks, company Of
fees and big business houses.
1t has always been customary In
Germany for clerks and accountants TO
begin work considerably earlier than
Is the case in England. and TO termi-
nate work in the evening much later
than is usual in London Work begins
In German offices, as rule at S O'clock
in the morning. and is frequently not
concluded before o'clock in the eve-
ming. Partial compensation for the
early beginning and late termination Is
obtained by taking two-hours' pause
at midday. but even with this break
the total hours worked IN German Of
fees considerably exceed those In Eng
fish omces, especially as half holiday
on Saturday Is still an exceptional ar
rangcmcnt IN Germany.
An agitation is now going on for the
abolition OF the long midday interval
ana OF the Introduction or the hours OF
work usual In English Offices Many
German business men. however, resist
the innovation and persist In maintain
ing the old-fashioned system.
Many German stock brokers, COM
pany directors, directors Of banks and
captains of industry adopt curious
arrangement by which they dine at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon and afterward
return TO their offices from s to s In
the evening,
Those Germans who have had prac-
tical experience Of office work In Eng
land are unanimous I'm declaring that
English clerks do just as much In six
or seven hours as German clerks In
nine or ten hours and advance this as
strong argument In favor of the gen.
eral adoption OF the English hours OF
work In Offices.
few Of the big banks in Berlin
have already got as far as working
day OF eight hours. from In the MORN
ing till IN the afternoon. with two
hours less on Saturday when they close
at 3 O'Clock. Berlin correspondence
