Gambling In Insurance.

The Britisher's favorite gambling is
insurance gambling. He will take
out policy against anything from the
death of the king to the loss of a
horse race by a thoroughbred. Ma
rine insurance gambling by those who
have no direct interest in the safety
of a ship or its cargo grew into such
abuses that parliament has been COM
PEELED to pass a drastic act to prevent
such gambling on marine accidents
and losses by those not otherwise con-
cerned.-New York Press.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

Il had eczema on my hands for ten
years. l had three good doctors but
none OF them did any good. l then
used one box Of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles OF Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. Ny hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time l had
used the third bottle, was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get we'll. My
hands have never given me the least
bit OF trouble up to now.
MY daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and In two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
Of my family and It always proved sue
cessful. Mrs. M. e. Falin, Speers

where, for intervals of fifteen min
utes, her morning and afternoon shifts
are broken for that length of time
so that she may return refreshed to
the board. In this restroom there is
player-piano, to which she may
dance when in the mood. There Is a
branch of the Detroit Public Library,
put there so that she may draw freely
what book she wants simply by filing
out a card and it will be sent to her.
There are beautiful, refreshing bath
tubs. and above all, there is a popular
matron in charge of everything.
Lunch? Dinner? Why, yes. The
girl does not have to go out Of the
building for that. A cafe and kitchen,
pany at great expense, await her dain-
ty appetite. Food is sold there at
quite nominal prices - ridiculous
prices, some people might say. Think
Of piece OF homemade pie for three
cents, q glass of pure milk for the
same queer price, and as for such a
meal as may be obtained for fifteen
cents, we'll, we doubt II the st. Regis
Hotel in New York could do better
for fifteen dollars!
But to get back to the work. Our
heroine, after she has been in the
school and been thoroughly grounded
In her work-the Company never puts
inexperienced girls at the boards
now ready to be a real telephone girl.
She may be a little nervous at first,
but she finds that the two experienced
girls on both sides OF her will take
care of that. They help her out with
her calls, to say nothing Of the Super
visor, or Captain Of Nine" who walks
up and down behind nine girls and
sees that none Of them gets into diff
culties.
Now, the particular quality of tele-
phone work, and that which appeals
to many girls, is that they never come
into contact with the public. They do
not have to meet undesirable people.
Even over the telephone wires, when

Any fear that she may be lost In a

once. The Michigan State Telephone

boarding houses near its various ex-
changes. Each Is in charge Of trust
ed matron, who sees that bed and
board are provided for her at reason
able living rates, and that she shall
never come into contact with unde-
sirable persons. AS for the exchanges
themselves, they possess most of the
comforts of home and many which
our heroine could not obtain at home
at all.
Take, for example, the Main ex-
change; the other eight exchanges
have the same facilities, but we will
consider this one because 1t is the
largest. We will follow our out-of-
town girl as she enters the building.
Arrangements have been made ahead
of her arrival, and the various steps
are already smoothed out for her.
She goes first to the Operators
School. There she fills out her ap-
plication blank, II she has not already
done so, and Is introduced to the In
structress. The girl will probably
start right away as a pupil in the
school.
So much time lost, she may think,
before beginning to earn money? Not
at all. The Company pays her a sal
airy right away! That salary begins
from the moment she enters the
school, and continues. whether she
takes two weeks or four weeks, or
even six weeks, to learn her work. II
may be mentioned, incidentally, that
some Of those who have turned out
the best and most reliable operators
have been longest in the school.
Our out-of-town girl will then come
to learn that there is beautiful rest
room provided for the operators,

Lock the Medloln. Chest.

The nursery medicine chest may be
a source of danger If left unlocked,
for even such things as mustard kept
there for plasters, cloudy ammonia,
cough mixtures, or seidlitz powders
may become sources of danger in the
hands Of a small child.
The cupboard may be ever so high,
but an inquisitive and exploring child,

reaching It. Keep it locked and you

LUNCH AT ALL HOURS.

The story of how this is done is an
interesting one, but will be told as
briefly as possible.
We will consider, for the sake of
example, the case of a girl living in
a town one hundred miles from De-
troit We will suppose her to be a
refined girl, of good parentage, but
with dash of that fine American
independence which leads her to want
to help support herself. She feels
that she has the power of doing good
work when the kind of work given ap-
peals to her sense of refinement; she
is clever; she has common sense and
she can be depended upon. These
qualities have come to her naturally
and she says to herself that she has
the right to make proper use of them.
To some of these young women the
idea of work at telephone switch
board must undoubtedly have come
some time or other. They know little
or nothing about 1t, perhaps, but they
do know that the work is dignified.
They realize that the telephone girl,
as she makes desired connections, one
after the other. with def fingers and
alert brain, is an all-important unit
in the throbbing business life OF to-
day.
The girl of whom we write thinks OF
this among other things, and perhaps
she laments the fact that she lives so
far away from the scene of such at
fractions. Yet she is the very girl
that the telephone company is willing
to take, teach and protect as she does

Curious Incident.

Harry Bennets, miner from Cam
borne, Cornwall, England, has been
awarded the King Edward medal for
bravery at the Randfonteln mine, Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa, December
81 last. He descended the mine after
an explosion and rescued nine natives
from suffocation, and was himself
eventually taken up unconscious. His
mother at Comborne afirms that she
was awakened from her sleep on the
same night by a loud report, and her
rest was greatly disturbed. She was
sure something had happened to her
son in South Africa.

like the hoops on a croquet lawn. 1t
was a Balfe opera, in which the he
roine dies of thirst, and was in
formed that as a certain prima donna
who sang this dry part could not get
through the great effort without re-
freshment, she rolled over stage rocks,
behind which were placed pots of por-
ter at frequent intervals, at each of
which she had a pull as she turned

Concrete Tower and Tank.

A combined water tower and tank
has been built Of concrete blocks near
Brussels. where 1t is to BIO used In
connection with the international ex-
hibition. The tower and tank have a
height OF 145 feet, and the latter has
a capacity of 100000 gallons. The
structure Is circular, and is built en-
tirely Of concrete blocks, and with
out molding of any kind, except that
used in the building of the concrete
reinforcing strips surrounding the top

The opportunities for lady-like, at
tractive, and congenial work in the
city of Detroit have frequently been
those persons who study sociological
conditions, but not enough Importance
has been given to the equally interest
ing fact that these opportunities are
also accessible to girls who live at a
distance from Detroit.
Yet there are hundreds Of bright
girls living in the many smaller towns
of Michigan just as eager to make
use of their intelligence, capacity, and
ability for steady work as there are
in the largest city of our State. 1t
seems odd, at first glance, why atten-
ton has not already been drawn to
this fact, and it may be that the dis
towns was supposed to be an insuper-
able obstacle against such girls taking
advantage of their own willingness
and ability. But this need no longer
be considered in the same light as
hereSocxe.
The Michigan State Telephone Com
pany. a corporation which is part OF
the immense body supplying telephone
service all over the United States, Is
in a position not only to provide con-
genial employment to the right kind
of girl but also to protect her as an
individual from the annoyances and
Inconvenience experienced by so
many others earning their own living
in Detroit, and this, too, no matter how
far her home may be from that city.

scriber ABUSES" her, she Is not COM
PEELED to listen to any Trades. She
could not make the other connections
wanted by the public II she did. But
whether she's busy or not, the CON-
pany protects the telephone girl from
the abusive subscriber by directing
her to switch" him to the Chief OPP
orators desk, where he (or she) can
be handled at more leisure by en-
ployes who will smooth out the diff
culties of which the subscriber may
complain.
The telephone girl does not have to
handle any soiled or dangerous equip
ment, or to get in the way of any ma
chlnery. She takes hold only of cords,
keys and plugs, which are necessarily
kept free from dust, or they would
deteriorate. And the same equipment
which protects the subscriber and the
switchboard tender from lightning
protects also the telephone girl.
The young woman of whom we are
writing will find that while, In the
telephone business as in other kinds,
there is no royal road to learning. yet
she has nevertheless but few difficult
ties to encounter, and that the CON-
pany has made her way as smooth
as possible. This is not philanthropy
on the part of the Michigan State
Telephone Company. 1t makes no such
claim OF course there's the natural
respect which The men at the head
of the organization feel for the girl
who earns her living-all decent men
possess that feeling-but this making
of things to be as attractive as pos
sible for the girls is one dictated by
business motives. The better the
girl and the better she may be made
by the company itself, the better she
will do its work. The prosperity and
success of a telephone company de-
pend upon the class Of service which
II furnishes, and this depends upon its
standard Of employee.
And the f1rst-class operator need not
always remain an operator. There
are innumerable opportunities for ad-
vancement not only with the tele-
phone company. but also with hotels
and great corporations which have
private branch exchanges.
The girl who lives at a distance
from Detroit may reflect upon these
things. She may address a letter to
the Operators School, Michigan State
Telephone Co., Detroit, and the reply
sent will give her abundant informa-
ton on what to do II she wishes to
apply for a position. 1t will be worth
while.
