THE WHOLE TRUTH.

The Nashville American in the issue
of August the eighth in discussing
"The Servant Problem" tells the whole
truth and nothing but the truth The
editorial follows and speaks for itself:
A good many housewives wonder
why they have so much trouble secur-
ing domestic service. They are prone
to complain to their neighbors of their
difficulties in this respect They wor-
ny their husbands about it; they worry
themselves over it.
Do these troubled, complaining
housewives really realize the reason
why they can not secure the needed
help in the kitchen and in boudoir?
Do they ever look at the question
from the standpoint of the hired?
There are good and bad servants
II the South the bulk of the domes
tic service is by Negroes. There are
lots of bad Negro servants. But there
are a great many bad Negro servants
who might he made good Negro SER
wants if the mistress had the proper
conception of her own duties and at
the same time recognized the fact that
the servant had rights which should
not be ignored.
No right-minded considerate mis-
tress can expect to have a good cook
or housemaid when she works either
fourteen to sixteen hours a day. She
can not have considerate servant if
she is not a considerate mistress.
Our servant supply is unreliable. 1t
needs neither contracts nor agree
ments When it gets ready to quit
service it quits, though the housewife
may be ever so much in need of help
at the particular moment Not infre-
quently this is the case even when
the mistress is most kind and consid
crate of her servants.
But if servants were required to
work specified number of hours, if
they were allowed certain hours off,
if they were provided with good quar-
tiers, and, most important of all, of
they were treated considerably, their
virtues magnified and their short
comings minimized there would
be fewer homes without cooks and
maids. The servant is human, with
the same attributes the employer pos
sesses. He or she is selfish, resentful
jealous, just as we are. He or she
has feelings like the rest of us. If
bo or che &c oODci Il arotolv traotod ond
not made the butt of ridicule and
fault-fnding. there will not likely be
vacancies in the quarters"
How do you treat your cook or maid
Mrs. Busybody? Do you hold then
to beggarly wages, limit their supply
of food. decline to give them time
they can call their own, and abuse an(
nag at them? Ask yourself the ques
ton also what would you do if you
were in the servants place?
There are homes in Nashvill,
where the servants have grown old
where they have become a part ant
parcel of the family. Would these oil
servants be at these homes all thes
years if some other than the presen
mistress presided over the household
No. The present mistress has beef
considerate. She has fed, housed
warmed the servant, paid good wages
p and been ever mindful of the ser
wants feelings She has required tn
full measure of duty from the EN-
ployed, but she has had the tact t
get it without the servant complain
e ing.
, Why can not all the housewives b
, as successful? The answer lies wit
the housewife as often as with tn
cook or the maid

 The man with the aggravating side whiskers comes into the office of the man with the discouraged eyebrows and says;
 I've thought up a new one"
 You have, have you?' asks the man with the discouraged eyebrows.
 "Yes. It's a corker. Why are the little sister and brother of a young lady who has been keeping company with young man named Julius Smaltz, and who has been away from town for two months, and who is returning to see her on Sun day evening-why are the little sister and brother, who are hiding, respectively, be- hind the porteres and the piano while their sister sits expectantly on the divan near the doorway waiting for the bell to ring announcing the arrival of her sweet heart, 1t being nearly o'clock on Sun day evening, and the beau having tele- phoned that he will arrive in lew mn utes before that hour-why are they Ike the throng that stood along the Appian Way on the Ides of March when Caesar was riding along in his chariot en route to the Forum?"
 'fWhat?" mutters the man with the dis- couraging eyebrows.
 The man with the aggravating side whiskers goes into the same detail once more.
 The other man glares at him and asks:
 Why is a man who comes into your office and asks you blamed fool questions like a man who has paid S1.50 to col lector as the last installment on a set of books he didn't want in the first place? Because you hope he never comes back"
 Indignantly the man of the side whis- kers arises and goes toward the door haughtily, saying:
 ''Oh, very we'll The answer is because they want to see Julius Caesar, but wouldn't tell you now if you begged on pended knees"

Such troubles have been feared by some from the first, and particularly since the change of sultans, and if those who have already been reported should increase and become general they would be watched with much concern, as seriously jeopardizing the whole experiment of Turkish constitutional reform and threat ening the near east with the most costly disturbances in modern history

It is a we'll known fact that there is no better way of bleaching the family linen during washing than by putting a few leaves of jimson into the boiler, but there is an objection to this practice, as a very unpleasant odor is the result. This can be removed, however, by placing the clothes in cold water and boiling them, or by repeated rinsing, but all this is troublesome, and therefore many who know the value of the leaves do not usa tham-
