EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

She was not q shop girl and never
worked in department store
She wanted that distinctly under
stood.
So, in an interview given shortly
after her elopement, the pretty new
wife of the son of our secretary of
state is quoted as announcing. and as
announcing most emphatically.
1t seems to me that she has more
reason to be ashamed of that empha-
sis than of the elopement.
When men and women learn not to
be ashamed of any honest work.
whether done with hands or brains,
we shall have taken long step to-
wards establishing a real democracy
in America
But as long as some men and wo-
of their work, other men and women
will assume a superiority over them,
and we shall have a false foundation
for class distinctions.
Notice 1 say weak enough" That's
because I think it is almost as bad
for a man to take the attitude which
allows others to look down on him
because of his work, as 1t is for those
to whom he offers this opportunity to
take it.
I do think it is inevitable that class
distinctions should exist.
7 believe that some people are and
always will be, until the millennium
comes, inferior to others.
That all men "are created free and
equal must mean, of course, equal in
respect to their rights, for all men
certainly are not equal in mental,
physical or moral qualities.
But I do believe that the class dis
tinction should never be made along
the line of the work a man or woman
does
have seen shop girls who would
grace throne.
And 1 have met at least one woman
of tremendous wealth who would
look far more in place behind coun-
ter than in the fiower-fragrant, bro
cade-decked drawing rooms OF her
magnificent mansion.
Mrs. A. Webster-Powen, rich
New York woman, recently took two
girls from the East side, dressed them
in Paris gowns, hung them with Jew
els, and introduced them at function
In her home as friends.
They were universally admired.
Several men-among them a very
eligible millionaire and count-be-
came distinctly interested in the young
No one outside the secret had the
slightest suspicion that there was any
thing unusual about their appearance
in society
I am sure there are plenty of wo-
men from the leisure class who could
be placed behind a counter or IN a
factory without creating any more OF
a ripple.
Listen, shopgirls-Listen, all wom-
en- who have ever at any time been
ashamed of honest work.
There are castles in society, but 1T
isn't the work you do or don't do,
that gives you your caste. It's how
you do that work and what you are.
OF course, you must have heard
that before.
The knowing of 1t is nothing new.
But / want you to do more than know
it. I want you to realize it and live
it.
Don't say, "a shopgirl is just as
off on a vacation and try to hide the
fact that you are shopgirl.
All shopgirls aren't as good as any
one else, any more than all women or
leisure are as good as anyone else.
But 1 want you to make your own
shopgirl just as good and
refined and educated and in every way
worthy as you know how, and to re-
spect her and her work, ana II you 40
T am nrettv sure that you'll get your
reward in the respect of other people.

Humphreys Seventy-Seven
Famous Remedy for Grip &
COL DIS

Colds are caused by sudden sur
face chilling of the skin" This makes
the blood vessels of the skin contract
When the skin bIoodvessels contract
the bloodvessels in other parts of the
body become congested. This state
of congestion permits the microbes,
which. in every person, gradually col
lect, on the outside of the mucous
membrane, to get in deeper and begin
their mischievous work. When the
membrane is normal there are a lot
of microscopic cells which keep the
germs from entering the circulation.
But as soon as the membrane be-
comes irratatd these microscopic cells
are swept away and the membrane
is unprotected
The use of 'Seventy-seven" relieves
the congestion, starts the blood cours-
ing through the veins and breaks up
the Cold.

Delicately formed and gently reared, women
will find In all the seasons of their lives, as
maidens, wives or mothers that the one simple,
wholesome remedy which acts gently and
pleasantly and naturally, and which may be
used with truly beneficial effects under any
conditions, when the system needs a laxative
is-Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA. 1t is
well known to be a simple combination of the
laxative and carminative principles of plants
with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and
acceptable to the system when its gentle
cleansing is desired.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA can hope to get its
beneficial effects. and as guarantee of the
excellence of the remedy, the full name of the
company-CaliforniaF Fig Syrup Co.'s printed
on the front of every package, and without it
any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA is fraudulent and should be
declined. To those who know the quality of
this excellent laxative, the offer of any subst-
tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA
is called for, is always resented by transfer
of patronage to some f1rst-class drug establish
ment, where they do not recommend, nor sell
false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genu-
inc article may be bought of all reliable drug
gists everywhere; one size only. Regular
price SO cents per bottle. Get bottle today
to have in the house when needed.

CIVIL SUITS DISMISSED
MUST NOT INTERFERE WITH
CRIMINAL CASES NOW
PENDING.

Chicago.-Assistant United States
District Attorney James H. Wilkerson
has issued a statement regarding his
action in sweeping aside civil suits to
make way for criminal prosecution Of
the men composing the National
Packing Company.
Mr.. Wilkerson says there is but one
reason for the dismissal of the civil
case, and that is the desire of the gov
ernment for immediate and vigorous
prosecution of the packers.
"The petition against the packers"
says Mr.. Wilkerson. was filed on the
twenty first of March, 1910. After
ward there was a grand jury investi-
nents were returned. charging some
OF the defendants in the bill with
criminal violations of the antitrust
laws.
"Since the return of those indict-
nents the defendants in the equity
case have been asked several exten-
sIons of time within which to answer
and those extensions have always
been granted.
at was thought to be fully under
stood by both the government and the
attorneys for the packers that there
were to be no further proceedings in
the equity case until the trial OF the
criminal cases.
THE purpose of the dismissal Of the
equity cases is to make clear the posi-
ton of the government that the trial
Of the criminal cases is to be vigor-
ously pushed and is to be interfered
with in no way whatever by the pen
dency of the equity cases In the Cir
cult Court.
at may be that resort to petit
ton in equity to enjoin future viola
tons will be entirely unnecessary IL
the governments contentious are es-
tsblished in the criminal cases.
"The attorney general, therefore. di-
lected the dismissal of the equity
case without prejudice. Further pro-
ceedings to enjoin future violations
can of course be instituted If those
Proceedings should be found neces-
sary to maintain fully the position of
the government in this litigation"
