Proper Dress for House Wear.

No woman should work about her

with plain short skirt and shirt waist,
with stock and tie of same. And not
slippers, nor button shoes, but shoes
sroomy and large, and soft, with good
soles. Constant standing or walking
in shoes that are narrow, or with point
ed toes win cause tender feet, bunions,
corns, enlarged joints and various all
ments.
To preserve the beauty and comfort
Of the feet battle them daily in warm
water into which dissolve a handful of
coarse salt. This prevents tenderness
and allays irritation. The woman who
wears good broad shoes at the toe and
sufficiently cosy will have as reward
sound, healthy feet.
Bathing the feet daily and rubbing
with a rough dry cloth will cure cold
feet. 1t causes the necessary circula-
ton, the lack of which is usually the
cause of the trouble. Y

MISERABLE WAGE ..
FOR GIRL WORKERS

Miss Anna Morgan, Miss Helen

the Morgan-Taft class, who are
''deeply" interested in labor prob
lens Of the working girl, might
be interested in the following
piece which drifted to our desk:
"Just think of it, 55 cents a
day the average wage paid in
American factories to girls under
sixteen years of age. Three dol
lars and thirty cents per week to
clothe and feed themselves and
live respectable. Of course, there
are many girls, both in the states
and Canada, who earn good wages
and work under favorable condi-
tons. We do not lose sight of
that fact but they are not in the
class we are dealing with in this
article. There are many thous-
ands of them, but they form, after
all. a small minority indeed to our
industrial system. Thousands OF
girls Of sixteen years of age earn
less than $3.50 per week, a vast,
army of them get no more than

The majority of these girls work
in ;nsanitary workshops, the more
favored working ten hours per
day, the less fortunate longer, Is
it any wonder that living under
such inhuman conditions tubercu-

hundreds. Is it any wonder that
discouraged and hopeless, thous-
ands of these girls drift out upon
the street? Is it any wonder that
scores of them commit suicide
every.year? How is it possible for
girl to live on such wages, or to
lead a moral life under such con-
ditions?

THE CLOSED SHOP.
By Robert Hunter.

Charles W. Eliot, ex-president
Of Harvard is the loyal friend Of
the open shop.
He is one of the distinguished
officials Of the Civic Federation
and likes to tell the trade union
lists what wicked, wicked men
they are.
Eliot is the friend of the scab
and he wants for the scab equality
of opportunity.
He wants his help to defy union
leaders and to assist upon work
ing when, where and how he
pleases:
He is against the "labor trusts"
which attempt to regulate condi-
tions under which men shall labor
and even try to put up the bars
and exclude men from a trade.
Now Eliot has more nerve than
most men even in the Civic FEEDER
alton. -
He fights closed shop for the
workers and advocates in his trade
a closed shop that surpasses any
thing that know of in the trade
union in the world.
Speaking sometime ago on the
future of Harvard University he
declared:
First, that Harvard should be
made the most difficult Of all col
leges to get into. Second, that we
do not propose to have any insti--
tuition in the country harder to
stay in:
Now the giving of ALL boys
and girls chance to acquire
knowledge hurts no one.
If every man, woman and child
in Massachusetts could have the
chance to hear lectures in Harvard
University it could hurt no one.
Ii all the bars were let down
and an open shop declared at Har
ward no man, woman or child
wouldsuffer.
Yet Eliot wants Harvard to be
a closed shop. And today its in
itiation fees amount to over one
hundred dollars, for each student,
and every student must pass a diff
fcult examination before he can
drink at that fountain Of wisdom.
No matter how thirsty any poor.
lad may be for knowledge that
lovely and refreshing spring is
closed to him.

NO UNION-STARvATIoN
WAGES.

An example of what the dis
banding Of a trade union means is
furnished in the present condi-
ton of the packing industry in
Kansas City. Previous to the dis
rupting Of the packing house I'M
ions, every man working at the in.
dustry in that city had plenty OF
work and good pay-skilled work
men earning from $40 to $50 per
week. Then came the disastrous
strike, with the result that now
very few skilled men are employ
ed, and these earn from 81 to $50
per week-very few, if any, ex-
ceeding $18 per week. The skilled
men have been replaced by cheap
labor, and now that the men are
helpless because Of their disorgan-
lied condition, the packers are
taking advantage of them. And
the only reason that such eondl-
tons exist is that there is no un-
ion to enforce the rights OF the
men.-Typographical journal.

Cambridge and wanting to attend
a few courses in the late afternoon
at Harvard would be confronted
by the walls Of a closed shop.
The great laboratories, libraries,
class rooms and gifted instructors
are not for him.
Yet I don't hear the slightest
cutlery against the closed shop in
Cambridge.
The American hero, the scab,
who would like to enter there has
no friends to fight his battle for
equality Of opportunity.
The ignorant, poverty stricken
American with an ambition for
learning has no manufacturers
Association back of him to bust
that closed shop.
The boy that wants to enter
there and is debarred by lack of
money or a certain quantity of
batin has no defender. Not one
Not even Eliot. But the man who
refuses to join the union and
wants to reduce wages has a Won
derful lot Of powerful friends.
A great intellect like Eliot IS
his friend, and all the great capt.
talists are his friends.
The politicians are his friends
the police, the militia and the
President are his friends.
Not when he is bum outof
work, but when he is a scab.
Yet the only thing the closed
shop deprives him of is the chance
to disrupt the union and to reduce
his own and every other work
mans pay, but the closed shop of
Harvard with its exams and its in
itiation fees keeps thousands OF
poor lads from a chance to acquire
knowledge.
1t keeps down those who want
to learn, who want to know the
best that is said and done in the
WORLD to acquire culture, to i'm
prove their minds and to develop
their souls.
And where is the friend of the
por man who wants to break into
the closed shop at Harvard not to
hurt his fellow men or to reduce
their wages but to improve him
self.
He has none; not one. Not even
Eliot. But the scab that wants to
reduce the price Of labor, Oh, what
tears are shed over him by our
leading crocodiles God bless 'em!
