81 AMEs WOMEN FOR 8 WANT
PROBLEM.
They Lack Training and VI heir
Work Narrowly.

r
One of the causes of. the want
problem here is that women have not
had the training for household affairs
that men have for business, and do
not consider theirAwork from a sufi-
GENTLY broad point of view, miss
Bella Bruce, teacher-student and
teacher of domestic science, saids$n a
talk at the Woman's Exchange.
"The woman owes her servants a,
definite and reasonable wage for a rea-
sonable service, and also owes them
proper training" said Miss Bruce. 1T
is her duty to give them sufficient
nourishing food and sleeping rooms
which would not be considered imNls-
sible for other people. When the eco
nomic work is done and paid for, tie
right of the mistress ends. 1t is her
privilege to suggest and guide her SER
wants, but only when her counsel is
willingly received.
when woman raises the wages il
her household she raises the wages&n
all the houses in the neighborhd
When she takes an unframed sers
at the same wages that she had
to a competent servant, she raises
scale of wages and puts a premium
on incompetency. When unsNlled
workers are drawn in the good serv-
lants are pushed out and the Industrial
balance IS destroyed.
"The hope of the American domes
Itic service question is in the children
sof the immigrants, but domestic work
lis looked down upon, and 1t must be
PRAISED. Teaching domestic science in

Miss Bruce said that in fneNN 90
of their households the hearts of
keepers sometimes ran away with FfieIT'
heads, and that by negiecting small
matters for the comfort of the serv-
ants they sometimes lost competent
workers.
She gave number of "Don'ts' for
the housewife.
Don't give an order and then forget
about it; don't send orders by other
servants when it can be avoided;
don't talk about servants at the table;
don't leave money around as if you did
not value it, and do not spy upon the
servants; don't make a promise to a
servant and take it back; don't go to
the rooms of your servants unless you
think they may not be clean; they
have right to some privacy; don't let
the cook scant the servants table;
don't forget that for extra service
there should be extra rest, and if you
wish respectful service be respectful
and self-contained yourself. New

date Announces His Intention of
Opposing Hemenway.

Indianapolis, 1nd.-John w. Kern,
defeated Democratic candidate for vice
president, announced Sunday night
that he is a candidate for United
States senator to succeed James A.
Hemenway. The Indiana legislature
is Democratic on joint ballot by a ma
jority of IL. Others mentioned as
probable candidates are John E. Lamb
of Terre Haute, who was in charge
of Democratic national headquarters
at Chicago during the last campaign;
Thomas Taggart, ex-national chair
man; State Senator Slack, Benjamin
E. Shively and Edward Hoffman of
Fort Wayne.
After declaring that it has always
been his lifelong ambition to repre-
sent Indiana in the United States Sen
ate, Mr.. Kern said
Il do not want the place unless the
Democrats of Indiana so desire. If a
majority favor my election, feel that
l am entitled to it. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to say that l have no money to
put into the race If l am elected,
it will be because the people favor
me and so declare through their rep

Her imitation of the negro dialect was

very fond of her accomplishment in
this line, frequently boosted of it

some of his schoolmates were vaunt-

SEEMED A TRlFLE PERSONAL.
CIcrgyman's Particular Reason for
Omittne the Fifth Verse.

A clergyman in an interior town
married a woman from whom he re
ceived dowry of $4,000 and a pros
pect of more. Shortly afterwards,
While occupying the pulpit he gave
out a hymn, read the first verse and
proceeded to read the fifth, com
mencing:
Forever let my grateful heart,
then he hesitated and exclaimed:
''The choir will omit the fifth verse"
Some of the congregation read the
verse for themselves and smiled as
they read:
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now
And bids me hope for more.
