Woman's League Taboos Ballot.

The Woman's Municipal League in
New York exists for the purpose of
promoting among women an intelligent
interest in municipal affairs. Its presi-
dent, Mrs. Edward R. Hewitt, tells of
some of the things that the league
has accomplished, and speaks of broader
purposes which she believes are par
ticularly woman's public work. One
is the problem of feeble-minded chill
dren; another eugenics. She thinks
that women have a more intimate in
terest in and understanding of these
things, their privilege as the mothers
of the race giving them an advantage
She does not count the effort for
suffrage as a part of this advancement
of women. She does not believe in
il for women, and thinks its quest a
waste of strength and dissipation of
resources. Woman's field, she con-
tends, should be unobstructed by the
political cares and responsibilities of
suffrage, and she should be left free
to exercise her greatest usefulness.
Woman is no longer exclusively in
terested in cooking and housework,
however much she should be mistress
of these az part of the home making,
"as every sane woman wishes to be-"
With the increasing and broadening of
education, women are playing great

cost her about 5000 more to build than
the first house, on account of the in
creased cost Of material, SO that the
two houses cost her about 81, $50. They
now rent for $12 month each and
have had desirable tenants in them
ever since they were built.
In 1898 Miss Stark published two
more lots on Post avenue, held them
a year and sold them at an increase of
$50 over the cost. In 1905 she bought
her present property, at 225 South ave-
nue., and paid for the lot. She then
borrowed money from the Postum COM
pany and built her present home.
which cost her $4,000. This little
home is on a lot 80 feet front by 100
feet deep, and is finished in hard
wood, and would bring $500 today If
put on the market. Lena Stark now
owns three homes in Battle Creek and
has money in the bank. Her salary
the last year she was with the Postum
company was SIS a month. During the
summer she acts as relief for the girls
when they take their vacations. and
works at the Postum plant when extra
help is needed and she can be spared
from home.
How 1t was possible for a girl on a
low salary to own three homes inter-
ested me deeply, so deeply that could
not help asking questions. From one
of the managers l found out about G.
W. Posts method of working with his
employees. Every single employee in
his shops is his loyal booster. While
there met j. W. Bryce, high up as an
organized union worker, who could not
say enough for the Post system of pro-
tecting its employees.
Post goes on the theory that an en-
pioye does his best work when he has
responsibility on his shoulders. AS
soon as a man has worked for him
year, he is willing to take him into
partnership-willing to sell him a
home. To carry out this idea, Post
bought one outlying section of Battle
Greek, plated it off and began putting
up houses. He told his people that
philanthropy was not moving him to
this, and informed them that he was
going to make per cent on his in
vestment. He put up several houses
as models, but he would build any
house that an employee wished and
build it the way the workingman want
it, after Mr.. Post had passed the plans.
In this way the wife of the worker
could have linen chute, a basement
or any improvement about the house
that she desired. For this Mr. Post
asked that one one-hundredth Of the
value of the house be paid down as
first installment and the rest In the
form of monthly rental until paid for.
For instance, If the house was to cost
$4,000, the first payment would be 500
and the rest to come in at $50 month,
or one one-hundredth of whatever the
price was. AS a result, more Of the
people employed by the breakfast-food
king of Battle Creek own their own
homes than are owned by the en-
ployes of almost an yother concern In

CLYDE D!MICK

ick Operated on for Stlanguated
HeeBia. The Operation Was
Successful.

Mr.. Clyde Dimick one of the
best young men that lives, was
operated on last Thursday for stran
gulated hernia and the disease and
operation was SO severe that his
life hung in the balance for sever
al days. Three years ago, Clyde
passed through very exhausting
sickness and for many days, in fact
weeks, his life was despaired of.
but being CT a good nerve and
blessed with a vigorous constitution
he was soon restored to health.
He has been assisting Mr.. Peter
Hansen in the Fullerton Lumber
Yard for the past year and at time
his occupation required some very
heavy lifting and it is thought the
work aggravated the old. trouble,
which brought on the sickness and
made the present operation neces-
sary. Kind providence has brought
the young man through to the
present time although it has been
reported on the streets that he
could not survive only a few days.
His condition now is satisfactory
and he will soon be himself agai Il
for which his many friends are
thankful. You have the sympathy
of the Journal force, Clyde.
