Health, Comfort and
Welfare of Workers

The millions of men and women who
are interested in tho moral and physical
upllft OF the working classes, especially
those In the. crowded cities, will be glad
to know that their dreams are at last
coming true.
In at least one large New York factory
the humanitarian theories OF the Con-
sumers' league and kindred bodies have
been crystallized into fact This factory.
the American home of Memo Corsets. at
Sixteenth street and Irving Place. en-
ploying over 20o9 operatives, mostly
women and girls. has Just been COM
pleted at cost of over sl0oo,ooo II Is
regarded as the most perfect factory
building in the world. from the stand
point of the health. comfort and safety
Of the employees.
In the first place II is really fireproof.
The latest automatic sprinkler system is
supplemented by the largest outside fire
escape in New York, and an inside fire
tower Of concrete-the first Of its kind
yet erected; fire partitions on each fac
tory floor, the doors Of which close auto
matically; a well-drilled fire brigade.
Wide. unobstructed passages lead on each
floor directly to the fire tower. through
smokeproof feed stairways. No more COM
plete protection against dangers from fire
can be imagined.
A vast ventilatlng plant draws air from
the outside. high up from the street,
washes out all dust by water curtain"
(Which also insures hygienic degree of
humidity, and delivers the pure fresh
air into the workrooms at IS degrees
Fahrenheit In winter. while in the summer
the air can be cooled to THIRTEEN degrees
below the outside temperature, So vast is
this plant that the air In each factory
floor is completely changed every six
minutes all day long.
A modern system of overhead lighting

Refrigerated, filtered drinking water is
served from fountains throughout the
building-no drinking cups anywhere.
on four OF the floors are modern kitch-
ems and lunch rooms, where employees are
served with the best Of clean and whole
some food at the exact cost Of foodstuffs
and preparation-less than the prices in
the cheapest restaurant.
A hospital ward-none finer or more
modern in New FORTHWITH doctors and
trained nurses. is at the free disposal of
employees. An apothecary shop furnishes
medicines free. Patients III at their homes
may have physicians services at the NOM
inal charge Of 30 cents q call.
A fine roof garden on the top Of this
great twelve-story building will be MAIN
tained for the recreation and enjoyment
Of the employees. with constant elevator
service until 10 p. m. daily, thus supplying
an evening home for the operatives,
many OF whom are practically without

This establishment has been visited by

Of how much better it is to do things than

Mendelssohn Choir and Thomas Orchestra

In 1881 a number of Chicago business
men met and decided that il would en-
nance the commercial values Of their
city TO raise its artistic standard. and
that the time came to all cities to con-
slider entertainment OF a high order as
a valuable asset TO draw the class OF
people who desire to give their children
advantages not possible in the smaller
places. They therefore decided to bring
the Theodore Thomas orchestra from
since which time this great orchestra has
cost the business men of Chicago more
than N,S0.00o. but their efforts placed
Chicago on the artistic map.
A good many years ago Mr.. Thomas
]. Kelly, after attending a number of
concerts in large eastern cities and
abroad, became ambitious TO attain for
Omaha a reputation OF high standaI d as
a musical center, and has ever since been
expendlng his efforts along that line.
Choir of Omaha and became their con-
ductor, and a number OF smaller con-
certs together with the climax of the
series of concerts OF 1911. showed to the
Omaha public what success has crowned
his efforts, One Of his aims had always
been to bring the Thomas orchestra TO
Omaha, but as 1t never gave concerts
west Of Chicago. 1t took a great deal Of
thought, work, effort and money to in
terest that organization. The combined
efforts of Mr.. Kelly and the executive
committee Of the Mendelssohn choir of
Omaha prevailed, and the first series Of

Colonel Roosevelt will hardly speak
prior to the night OF Oct. 30. when
he Is scheduled TO appear at Madison

the wish of his wife. He will prob.
ably talk for q few minutes at the

speeches. than these depends entire
" upon his physical condition.
