was charged that Miss Barton was
forced out of the Red Cross by politi-
clans in Washington.
Politicians had something to do with
it," said DR. Hubbell, "but they were
the dupes of social climbers. Miss Bar

her out of the Red Cross so that she
might use the organization as a social
stepladder.
"A specific charge was never brought

innuendo did their work. The impetu-

Washington, April 24.-The storm
pending ever since the death of Miss
Clara Barton broke when Dr.. Julian B.
Hubbell of Glen Echo, Md, made the
serious accusation that overweening
ambition on the part of Miss Mabel
Boardman to make the Red Cross a
social stepping stone drove Miss Bar
ton from the presidency of that organi-
cation and sent her brokenhearted to
her grave.
Although Miss Barton lived to see
81 years, envy and malice shortened
her existence, according 10 DR. Hsbbell,
who declares that the founder OF the
Red Cross might easily have lived 100
years, but for the stigma placed upon
those who for selfish purposes cast
her out of the organization created by
her philanthropy
II was DR.. Hubbell who gave Miss
Barton q home in her declining years
and IN his home she died II was

for assistance in combating the evils
Of idleness contain the question, Did
more men seek employment from you
last winter than in former years." the
answer TO which, it is said, will have
a great bearing on the findings of the
commission, as there has been much
controversy as TO whether the number
of men out of work last year, which
was greater than for many previous
years, was due to voluntary idleness
or an inability to obtain employment
One question is in connection with
the employment of women at work
which previously had been done by
male help. This question follows:
ga Do you employ female help? o.
How many? Co At what class of
work? Id Do you employ married
women? (e) How many? % To what
extent do you employ women at work
formerly done by men, and your rea,
sons for doing so?"
Another question is aimed directly
at conditions in the city, and reads:
"(a) Can you always get ali the help
you want? (b) What kind of labor
do you find scarce? (c) What kind
is oversupplied?" Still another ques-
ton requests information as TO the
methods used in obtaining help, wheth-
er through employment agencies, news
papers or applications at plant.
question which is submitted to
both employers and labor unions is
Would you favor employment ex-
changes under public management.
such as are operating with great sue
cess in Europe?" and a request for
information as TO whether such ex-
changes would be used by the union or
employer.
Among the questions submitted to
labor unions are: How many months
is your trade busy?" How manv
months is there no work." What per.
centage of your members work the
year round?" Does your union pay
out of work benefits or make anv
provision for unemployed labor"
The commission is composed of men
in almost every station in life and was
created for the purpose of getting
light on the unemployed" problem
which confronted Chicago last winter.

but from the time Of the arrival OF
our very first purchase We have
been fully satisfied that we made
no mistake.
The sales have steadily grown
until today there are more women
IN the three cities wearing Ala

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a

Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test,
and plenty of proof exists right here
in Wausau. People who testified
years ago to relief from backache,
kidney and urinary disorders, now
declare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect. How can any
Wausau sufferer longer doubt the
evidence?
