POOL COST OF MEALS
Carthage, Mo-, Women Cooperate
and Believe Have Solved
Servant Problem.
THEY LIVE WITHOUT COOKS.
Cooperative Kitchen Where Each
Member Shares the Expense
Proves a Success.

The cooperative kitchen, founded
recently by Carthage women, has pass
ed the experimental stage and will now
become a permanent institution, a cor
respondent of the Kansas City Star
says. A number of women who had
been troubled by the servant problem
decided about three months ago to
pool their interests, or rather their
troubles, and endeavor by their COM
bined efforts to secure servants and
crafty their appetite without contain
mating the feminine portion of their
several families with the odor of the
kitchen
Many were skeptical when the idea
of the undertaking was first suggest
ed, but those even most positive of the
failure of the undertaking have now
applied for admission to the dream
full kitchen, where servant troubles
are only horrid Nightmares, delicious
meals the regular order and content
ment reigns supreme.
1t was decided to lease a residence
and convert it into the cooperative
kitchen. Three large rooms were made
into a dining room. Each family
furnished its own table and chairs,
and every one Clipped in" to furnish
the kitchen and second floor, where
one large room is used for the chill
dren. A nurse is always waiting to
take the crying baby while the "old
folks" are enjoying their meal. The
balance of the second floor is used
as the servants quarters. A regular
menu is served, but should any fam
lily wish something special it is
bought and charged extra Each mem

An amendment was adopted. providing
that in issuing stocks and bonds new

Another important change was made
1t has TO do with the rights OF minority

to enjoin the issuance Of new securities.
It was held that It would be unwise TO
