The Vegetable Strike
BY j. v. Roach.

growing thereon cried for mercy.

and, under the soft white moonlight,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Freshness and Neatnees.

Are impaired to the working girls
garb by the use of livery, and this
is the reason for the existence of the
livery.
Cap and apron and neatly fitted suit
of Bingham or black is no more a
badge of seryitude than is the police
mans uniform, the soldiers military
trappings, or the trained nurses
striped frock and trim cap. These
take pride in their liveries and so
well may the housemaid.
When the maid is at work she
should be dressed in a manner suit
able to her employment. In the
morning, when she is to be busy with
her homework in and out of the
kitchen, handling her broom and dust
cloth, her dress should be a neat
print. In houses where the mistress
provides the working frocks of the
maids, as is sometimes done, she can
have these frocks made all OF one
piece, but in the majority OF homes
where but one or two maids are kept
they dress themselves
Under these circumstances they
cannot be expected to conform to any
especial style or color and probably
will wear shirtwaists and skirts. II
is a pity if the skirts are dark wooden
goods, because these gather dust and
retain the odors of cookery, but a
large apron will protect the skirt and
washing is saved to the maid if her
whole gown is not Of light material.
She is wise if she wears a large
sweeping cap in the morning when
she is not busy at work that is likely
to make dust, but this can be ex-
changed for a smaller cap when the
lrougher part of her labor are out OF
her way.
For the afternoon, when it is prac.
ticable, the maid should wear a black
! frock with white collar and cuffs and
a white bib apron. The apron may
be a little more deliberately trimmed
than the morning apron In fact
for the morning a simple, plain. large
apron without a bib is all that is
needed. This applies TO the maid OF
all week. as well as to the waitress
and par.or maid, but when one maid
has to do the cooking OF the dinner
before she serves it, it is almost toe
much to expect her to be in her
Giack suit all afternoon. She may
look neat in her Bingham waist and
skirt and then when she gets every
thing in order for the dinenr she may
slip away to her room for a minute
and get into the black waist.
The waitress who has no kitchen
work is usually expected - have on
her black waist soon after luncheon
so as to be ready to answer the door
bell properly dressed. The strictly
correct custom demands that she
should be in the black before lunch
con Is served, but the rule ,s not
followed in the average househoId.

To Change
Sheets with a patient in bed re-

ticed with a well person in bed until
you are skilled. Take no experiments
with those that are i'll.
Have the clean sheets we'll aired
and. in cold weather, warmed. Close
door and windows while the change
lis being made. Take the under sheet
first. Turn the patient over from you
on one side and fold the soiled sheet
tightly in fat folds close to the pa
tent Lay on the clean sheet
smoothly with half of it folded up
against the roll of the soiled sheet,
then both can be slipped up under the
body at once.
Tuck in the clean sheet at that
side of the bed, then cross to the
other side, turn the patient back on
the opposite side. and gently pull out
the soiled sheet from underneath.
Afterwards draw the folds of the
clean one, pull straight and tuck
firmly and neatly. BY following this
method the draw sheet, rubber sheet
ling, and under sheet may all be
changed at one time.
- change the upper sheet loosen
all the bedclothes at the foot, then

one Lo1d hold the clean sheet and
blanket up to the neck OF your pa
tient, with the other slip down the
soiled clothes underneath right over
the foot of the bed; tuck in the bed
clothes and spread the counterpart.
To protect any injured part of the
body from the weight of the bed
clothes without the use of the iron
cradles employed in hospitals two or
three barrel hoops will answer the
purpose, or a round bandbox large
enough to slip the injured member
through.
Pillows laid at each side of the bed
keep bed-clothes a couple of inches
above a sensitive part.

Stories OF hardship and privation
are told by five Poles who have just

and are still stranded somewhere
along the line.

and Frank Sala, No. 1145 st. Aubin'

They came to the mayors Office &C
companied by l.. A. Koscinski, an attor.
ney, asking that ID. A. Newhall. who
conducts an employment agency at
No. 50 Woodward-ave. be compelled to
refund them money paid him. Mayor
Thompson Is investigating and will
find out whether Newhaff really de
ceived the men.
According to the story told. these
men. "a in number, were assured OF
positions by Newhall and sent away
to Driftwood. Ont. going by way OF
Englehart. Each paid $14 railroad
fare. that being about all that most
OF them had.
When they got off the train at En-
glehart, they were told that Drift
wood was so miles away. The mayor
of Englehart gave them a meal. but
told them there was no work In the
town and that they could not be cared
for or given funds to go home. There
fore, the "a men set out TO tramp 81
miles to the town where the work
was to be found. When they had
tramped all day and gone about IS
miles, the footsore and weary crowd
met Mike" Ryzylo, who had been sent
ahead with another detachment. He
told them that there were more' men
in Driftwood than could find employ
ment and advised them to go back
This they did, and the men who had
money came back to Detroit, while
the others were left to find work OF
food as best they could.
Newhall was called into the may
or's office and stated that he sent
the men away in good faith. He ex
hibited letter from James Clark, OF
Driftwood, who signed himself as SUI
perintendent OF construction Of the
r. & N. o. railroad, asking for men
to be sent to him.
Eleven OF the men went to work,
says Newhall. II do not know what
became OF the rest There is any
amount of work up there, but some
of the men who go up become fright
ened because 1t is wild country and
the work Is hard, some times in water
and some times In woods.

NOT INCLINED TO
MURDER THEORY
POLICE SAY CIRCUMSTANCES
DON'T INDICATE FIsHPooL
WAS FOUL-PLAY VICTIM.

Chief OF Detectives Mcdonnell and
other detective officers are not inclin-
ed to believe that John A. Fishpool,
whose body was found In the river of
the foot of Twelfth-st., Sunday morn
ing, was murdered. Although arsenic
was found In the mans stomach by
County Chemist Clark, this Is not
taken as conclusive PROOF OF foul play.
| 1t develops that Ffshpool was not a
farn~owner but a farm hand. He had
accumulated $500 but spent 1t freely
for some time before his disappear
ance and his relatives are not sure
that he had any money when last
seen.
The presence OF arsenic in the
stomach does not necessarily indicate
MURDER" says Capt. Mcdonnell. Nor
does 1t follow that the man was robbed
and thrown into the river. Thieves
do not usually take a mans money and
then hand him back the empty pocket
book"
Precinct Detective Wilson, OF the
Trumbull-ave. station, who has been
investigating the case, talked with
Capt. Donahue, OF the sand steamer
John Otis, and was told by the latter
that Fishpool was drunk when he saw
him shortly before the time he must
have gotten into the river. Wilson
expects to find two men who talked
with Fishpool shortly before the lat
ter's death.

SHERIFF SCO[Ds AT
SIGHT Of GIRL
HANOCUFFED
CALLS DOWN CONSTABLE FOR
USING BRACELETS ON MERE
CHILD WHO Is4 ACCUSED OF
BEING MAYNARD.

A girl OF II years handcuffed to a
stalwart minion OF the law was the
unusual spectacle that greeted Sheriff
Burns when the doors OF the county
jail opened In response 10 the ring OF
Constable Charles Tolland, OF Spring
wells, Thursday morning. The sher-
III was first surprised and then indig-
nant as he glanced at the girls wrist
and found II swollen from coatact with
the iron bracelet.
What do you mean by putting the
handouts on young girl like that?i
he demanded of the officer.
She can run like deer. and was
afraid she would get away" replied
Tolland. But the sheriff advised him
to be more discreet in the use Of the
bracelets hereafter.
1T Is the first time since my con-
nection with the Jail that | ever saw
girl In handouts" declared Turnkey
Guyette. who was unsparing In his
criticism of the officer.
The girl was Nellie Newman, whose
home is on the Schaefer road. in
Springwells township. She ran away
about two weeks ago, and according
10 Constable Tolland, has been sleep
ing in culverts and hanging around
the horse traders camps In the out
skirts OF the city. Tolland had been
searching for her for the past two
days. at the request of her father, who
wanted her committed to the House
Of the Good Shepherd. After a talk
with Sheriff Burns. the girl consented
to go to the institution voluntarily and
Deputy Sheriff Kelly escorted her
there. without resorting to handouts.
Nellie. who is rather attractive
girl with dark brown hair. brown eyes
and rosy cheeks. says she left home
because OF the treatment accorded her
by her stepmother. She had nothing
to say against her father.

INTERESTED FOLK TO

titioned the council to give them car
service.
LAS the tracks would be only a con-
tinuation OF present line and not
laid under a new franchise, It should
be up to the people living in that
district and owning property there
as to whether they get cars. II 1t Is
