ONE DAY OF REST

The decentralization bills TO for
bid the employment of labor on Sun
day unless an equivalent rest day is
allowed which were recently introduc-
ed in the New York Legislature are
recommended both by the church and
the labor forces in the state.
Our present Sunday laws were en-
acted before corporations and large
combinations Of capital had come
into being. These existing laws for
bid the individual to labor on Sun
day
But the laborer is powerless when
vast corporation requires him 10
work on Sunday. The rest day bill
now before the legislature will afford
protection for workmen who have
been Obliged to work seven days a
week. II will also make IL possible
for the orthodox Jew or other seventh
day observers to keep his Sabbath
and engage In necessary work on
Sunday.
This movement to protect Sunday
from tho innumerable attempts to
commercialize the day has become
worldwide. France. Switzerland. ia

this loss should be attended TO and
an attempt made TO retrieve II by
using more Of the parts In some way.
Attention was directed also
TO the fact that when we buy oran-
ges and celery most Of our money
goes for water, and also when we
buy potatoes, which are now very
high, three fourths OF the money we
pay out Is paid for water which
ought to come to us free. On the
other hand. II we buy rice. only one
fourth OF the product is water.
II may be easily seen that living
Is now higher. partly because OF the
fact that we are using more of the
foods in which water ls the FREEDOM
inant element, and less of the real
food materials than formerly. Again,
we are paying quite highly nowadays
for flavors, and there is no food
materials or nourishment in fiavors.
The buyer Of the family should
study these things and gradually
seek to eliminate the foods from her
bill-of-fare. In the buying. OF which
there is much that must unneces
arily go into the garbage can
much that has no food value. And
she can. sometimes. by remembering
that bleaching as In the case OF the
flour and coloring as In the case of
butter. are simply expensive mxu-
ries. nothing whatever being added
to the food value In the process.
Miss Barrows called attention 70
the fact that domestic science was
first taught at public expense In 1888.
Before that time II was scarcely
taught at all. and. OF course, only In
private schools. Now the study is be-
coming general in public schools and
state colleges and universities. But
she prophesied that II would be a
long time before any great reforma-
ton takes place.
