Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited

The "change of life" is a most
critical period in u woman's ex.
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense Of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time,
Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs OF women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds I'D
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

SOCIAL HORRORS IN PAssAIc CITY.

~ OCIAL conditions of the worst character in the tenement
districts of Passaie inhabited by foreign mill operatives
~ are revealed in an official report by the city sanitarian,
who made a thorough inspection. Men, women and children are
packed unfortunately in dingy rooms, in many cases there
being from ten to fifteen human beings living in a single apart
nlent. both sexes being represented. In this one room they eat
and sleep. A family occupying one room takes boarders. SAM
tation is disregarded. The moral conditions can be imagined.
The amount paid for room and meals in one of these dens is four
dollars a month. showing what a miserable subsistence these
people have. This shocking exhibit of human life has its rea
lion to the wage. The general wage paid in the mills is $500 for
men and $6 for women. This allows for overtime, which means
longer hours. The Public Service Corporation has declared that
Il single woman cannot maintain herself decently for less than
50. What do the Passaic mill owners expect of the men and
women in their employ? And is it for this inhumanity to their
labor that excessive tariff rates are maintained for their benefit?
But has the State no duty to perform in cases like this? Can
The State afford to permit such conditions to exist?

PARK PLACE TRANSFORMATION.

MARK PLACE, familiar to generations of Newarkers as a
quiet, residential street of a pretentious order, is grad
= ually changing it's character, and is destined to undergo a
complete change. The most important invasion of the street was
he erection of an insurance company building. The old Park
House site is now occupied by a theatre. Several old residences
and grounds at the ~southerly end of the street are owned by the
Pennsylvania Railroad and held for future terminal purposes.
The present terminal of the rapid transit line has converted the
street into a muchtraveled thoroughfare. A new hotel is now
projected to occupy the sites of two old residences. A trans
formation of Park place was inevitable. Business improvement
is marching up Broad street, rents are mounting up, and Park
,lace from end to end becomes more in demand for commercial
nd public purposes every year. The entire street is fated to be
ompletely changed and adjoining streets will eventually be sim
farly transferred from residential to business purposes.

Ineflciency Man Trouble
By Harrington Emerson

What ma seen since ocean steam began
Leaves me no doot for the machine, but
What about the man?
It's the man that counts
THB FREELY is $1,000 times as ef-
icient as his human rival and
works comfortably at II. Man
wastes three-quarters of the coal in
the ground, brings the remaining
quarter to the surface by inefficient
la bor and appliances, doubles, trebles
or quadruples its cost by transpeita-
ton charges to the furnace door.
Rarely is rs much as ten per cent. Of
Tie energy OF the coal transformed
into electric energy, and of this
residuum only one-twentietl. can ap-
pear as light.
A comparison of m IFS operations
with those of nature show him to be
a child of nature only in p~rodigality,
but not in efficiency. Parsincny is
not natures teaching, but efficiency
is to be seen on every side. Ineff1-
cheney of administration is RESPONSE
lie for tbs bread line in New York
city and the badly fed and housed
people of our slums. The inefliciency
ct those who labor is because work
is poorly directed and badly organ
ized. This ~iuetieicncy extends through
TIN, whole of American life-pcrhaps
through the whole Industrial life Of
the world.
Chinese CO0lie Beats Railroads.
The Chinese coolie, as a daily task,
carries 100 pounds twenty-seven miles
for twenty-seven cents. The Ameri-
can railroad, by the most advanced
engineering and industrial methods,
carries an absurdly small net load
for an absurdly small distance at an
absurdly high cost.
An agent of Lloyds visiting the At
lantic coast shipyards of the United
States reported that American mate
rails were fully as cheap as English
materials, that American wages were
no higher than British wages. but
that the very greatly increased cost
of American-built ships was due
wholly to the no-m in~effieiency
of organization and performance. Yet
when the mood takes the American,
creations more beautiful than the
world ever dreamed IF suddenly
spring from nothing, as for instance.
our worlds fairs, and the wonderful
buildings there.
A comparison of America with
other nations shows that she lacks
the perseverance and persistency of
the British, the clear habits OF
thought, or ~innovating logic of the
French, the scientific patience and
thoroughness of the German and the
open-mindedness of the Japanese.
The American is wasteful and pro-
yinciai and skeptical of the value OF
anything outside his own limited ex-
perience.
The Other Viewpoint.
On the other hand he Is shrewd and

sometimes that he would almost fail

resourceful because adaptable. What
he needs in the Industrial world IS
standards. The great industrial n
transportation corporations are often
efficient in manipulation but content
with low efficiency of operation. This
organic weakness is due to the alb
sence of ideals and to the ABSENCE
of a staff organization able to create
and realize standards of efficiency.
The above is a digest of much that
Harrington Emerson tells in a book
called Efficiency, as a Basis for OPP
GRAFTON and Wages" which may be
found at the business branch of the
public library, Is Clinton street. Such
books, which are written by experts
in all fields, are efforts to elevate the
standards of the worker. from the
simplest mechanic to the director OF
great industries.
There is scarcely a field left I'M
touched and the accumulation of
these printed experiences is the bust
ness of such a department of the
public library.
A StOrehouse OF knowledge.
The expert opinions of government
otleials are here; the work done by
boards of trade and other public
bodies; the periodicals devoted to
special trades and organizations: en-
cyclopaedias bearing on business
matters as well as the directories and
general encyclopedias which the
business office does not feel called
upon TO buy itself.
The young clerk may get help In
MS commercial correspondence diff
cult1es, and the expert mechanic
should find some inspiration in test
ing the experiences of others higher
on the ladder than himself; the trade
directories covering manufacturers
buyers, sellers, importers and ex.
pofters of the world in almost every
ordncn or industry and m

WHAT ONE MANS LIFE MEANS.

~ NE mans death at the present crisis in the politics of
Europe, that of the aged Emperor of Austria, would
~ make a new situation, full of the gravest perns to
the worlds peace, which the great powers are now anxiously
trying to preserve. Francis Josephs life is q tie that binds an
iIiassorted empire together. The emperor Is a lover of peace.
He does not want his few remaining days on the imperial throne
olouded by war. He stands between the aggressive military ee-
lnent represented by his heir, and the common people, who do not
want war. But more serious for the empire are the racial an
tagonisms and hates that would long ago have thrown the en-
pie into chaos but for the universal respect and love for the
Sovereign. The death of Francis Joseph would change the feel
ing toward the throne as well as change the imperial policy, with
consequences of epochal importance.

CHRISTMAS HERE AND ABROAD.

r n England as well as in America Christmas was celebrated
with increased fervor. The principal stores in London and
a other large cities did a record business in the sale of Christ
mas goods and there are accounts of the replenishing of stocks
two or three times to meet the demand. In all American cities
the holiday trade was phenomenal. Begun much earlier than
lormerly, the volume exceeded all previous seasons. This senti-
faent of the Enslishspeaking wOrld-and it may be believed that
il was as much in evidence also in Canada and observation-disclosures
an instructive sympathy of feeling that is not to be affected by
vast stretches of ocean. The American Christmas spirit, how
ever, goes beyond that of other kindred nations. 1t stretches out
into all the nations of Europe. 1t sends millions of dollars in
money and gifts to the people of all these nations. The big
Christmas mails from the United States are the best outpourings
Of the Christmas spirit in our country.

THE MYSTERY OF BRYAN AND CLARK.

n M r. BRYAN and Speaker Clark have come to visit the Presi'
lVu dentelect and have gone, and the enterprising reporter
1F4 has not divulged a word that was said on either ocea-
ion for the reason that he doesn't know. Other Democratic
statesmen are booked for similar pilgrimages, and the chances
are that the reporter will be no wiser than he is. But the par
ticular interest lies with the two men who have come and gone.
The belief is extant that by reason of Mr.. Bryan's activity at the
Baltimore convention in heading off the nomination of Speaker
clark at a critical juncture there is none too good a feeling be-
tween the two men. AS the presumption is that Mr.. Bryan
Mould take a cabinet position, if offered to him, it is argued that
With Mr.. BRYAN in the cabinet and Mr.. Clark as speaker there
would be unpleasant relations, harmful to the party. Hence the
particular interest in the visits of the two men to the Present
slect and the discontinue of the enterprising reporter who failed
