WOMEN'S CLUB IN cOREA.
Suffragists in That Country Demand
Many Radical Changes in Sew
eral Important Lines.

Though the woman movement Is
making vast strides and gathering con-
verts in many unlikely places, even
the most hardened suffragette will be
interested in the news that Corea is
the latest scene Of war In the ladies'
battle. The movement takes a SIM
liar form to that which has shown
elsewhere, and is interesting II only
from this point OF view, as auguring
the possibilities OF big united move
mont in the distant future on the part
OF all progressive women.
Equality of the sexes is what the
COrean ladies desire, radical change in
woman's dress, better education and

Corea and other countries "a novel idea

beIefiting the women indirectly in the
increased prosperity Of the country.
The women who have allied them
selves to this movement are drawn
from the upper middle class, and have
opened women's club, and have en-
bodied the ideas already noted in a
manifesto, which is a truly amazing
document. The members of the new
club are doffing their native costumes,
and going In for terrible European
compromise, In which the inevitable
spectacles, always associated with
learning, play a conspicuous part.
The club has grown up members and
also young schoolgirls, who, to show
their independence, are allowed to go

ON PORCH FURNITURE.
II Porch Is Small Use q Shelf for :
Table and Chairs Without
Rockers.


Few porches have room for good
sized table. but this can be managed
by having an oblong strip OF wood

dows, with hinges at the bottom. When:

Another way OF doing would be to
keep an ironing table with folding legs

legs would have to be cut down to
convenient height for using while SIT

to have some place TO stow away mag.
azines and little articles, and couples
of shelves placed on the wall above
the table would add much to the APP
pearance of the porch, and be a very,
useful article OF furniture. These
boards SHOULD be lust the length Of
the table, and placed on the wall at
the right height, so that when the table
is fastened up, the outside just reaches
beneath the shelves. With the bench
below, and the underneath part OF the
table forming back, over-tcpred by
some cunning little book shelves. what
an attractive piece of furniture we
should have. Some little curtains on
rings would add note of color, and
the whole thing could be made by
member of the family. Sometimes an
old church pew can be picked up In
country places for dollar, and in that
case the table might hang down, and
| the pew go against the wall, beneath
the book shelves.
Bamboo screens which roll up and
down are often useful IL the porch is
very sunny. A more delightful screen
Is formed by vines running over wire
across the sunny end, or where q
neighbours porch overlooks ones own.
II the house stands alone, a porch Is
cooler II all the sides are left open for
the air to blow through, and vines are
only allowed to grow above the height
of seven feet. So many small porches
are too much overgr,wn. and not only
keep the air out in summer, but for the
rest OF the year darken the rooms that
overlook the porch.
It is best not to have too many rock
ers on small porch, as they take up
too much room. Windsor chairs,
stained or painted, are always liked,
especially by men, and they can be
used with chairs of other varieties.

PRESIDENT DECLARES CONDITIONS IN
CHICAGO STOCK YARDsARE REVOLVING
Sends Strong Message to Congress with Rey-
nolds-Neill Report - Drastic Inspection of
Meat Ursed-Serious CHARGES Against
Packers Are Substantiated
In Document.

I call special attention to the fact
that this report Is preliminary. and
that the investigation Is still unfin-
ished. 1t is not yet possible to report
on the alleged abuses in the use Of
deleterious chemical compounds In
connection with canning and preserv-
ing meat products, nor on the alleged
doctoring in this fashion of tainted
meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable or
unusable from age or from other rea-
sons. Grave allegations are made in
reference to abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
of stopping these abuses II they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation
Is needed In order to prevent the pos
sibility of all abuses In the future.
II no legislation Is passed. then the
excellent results accomplished by the
work OF this special committee will
endure only so long as the memory
OF the committees work Is fresh. and
recrudescence of the abuses Is abb
solutely certain.
Passage Of Law Urged.
| I urge the immediate enactment intt
law of provisions which will enable
the department Of agriculture ade
quately to inspect the meat and meat
food products entering into interstat'
commerce and to supervise the meth
DDS Of preparing the same, and t
prescribe the sanitary conditions I'm
der which the work shall be per
formed. l therefore commend to You
favorable consideration and urge tn
enactment OF substantially the prov,
sions known as senate amendment NJ
20 to the act making appropriation
for the department Of agriculture TO
the fiscal year ending June 30, 100,
as passed by the senate, this amend
ment being commonly known as tn
Beveridge amendment.

cleanliness was found everywhere in
the handling OF meat being prepared
for the various meat food products.
The parts that are sent from the cool
ing room to these departments where
various forms OF meat products are
prepared, are handled with no regard
whatever to cleanliness. The workers
climb over heaps OF meat, select the
pieces they wish, and frequently throw
them down upon the dirty floor be-
side their bench.
'In a word" the report adds, I've
saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden
floors, piled on tables rarely washed,
pushed from room to room in rotten
box carts, in all OF which processes II

tiers, floor filth; 1t was always the re,

which there Is possibility OF contaru-
nation through unsanitary handling
anc further danger through the use Of
chemicals. During all these processes
there is no government inspection, al
Though these products when sent out
bear a label stating that they have
been passed upon by government in
spectors. The report arraigns the sani-
tery provisions In the buildings as
abominable, and says the men and
women plunge their naked hands into
the meat to be converted into food
products. The report says the burden
OF protecting the cleanliness and
wholesomeness Of the products and the
health OF the workers and improving
the conditions must fall upon the ma
tioDal government.

to ignore all considerations except the
account book" and proper care OF the
products and of health and comfort OF
the employees Is impossible, and the
consumer consequently suffers. Tu-
terculosis victims expectorate on the
spongy wooden doors of the dark
work rooms, from which falling scraps
OF meat are later shoveled up to be
later converted into food products.

port in discussing the arrangements
for men and women employees. The re-
por.. says:

THE whole situation, as we saw 1t
In these huge establishments, tends
