CHICAGO, December 25.-Some plan

For several weeks President Johnson

remedy for the strategic pass, but with
no success.

DIR. MERICA TALKS OF WORK
Superintendent of Red Wing Schools
Wants Change in Method e.
Training Bad Boys

DR.. C. A. Merica, superintendent of
the boys state school at Red Wing,
spoke before the Commercial club
members at St. Cloud, Wednesday
evening. A feature of his address was
a hint that he is not satisfied with con-
ditions in Minnesota, and may termi-
nate what he called his "sacrifcial en-
deavor." In other words, it may mean
that unless the state adopts plan adj
vocated by him he may seek another
field of labor. He said:
"When | received the call to come to
Minnesota, / was president of a uni
versity at a salary of $1,000. Ny dir
ectors gracefully offered to increase
my salary another thousand if l would
remain. But accepted the superin-
tendency of the little school at Red
Wing because l was interested in the
work. l do not know whether my work
will succeed. To make it a success it
requires the help of folks who are in
terested and who are trained in the
work.
81 do not believe in a state institu-
ton for the wrong-doing boys. / be-
lieve there should be board composed
of experts, who should have charge of
the boys brought into court and who
should place them in better environ
ments. For instance, if a st. Cloud
boy cannot be controlled by his par
ents, and whose associates are bad
would it not be much better to have
him turned over to the care of an ex.
pert, who would find him a home in
some other section of the state, say il
southwestern Minnesota, where h,
would be given new chance, rathel
than to send him to a state institu
ton?
"But this would take money. /
would require the help of the RICH
kind of people, trained in the work, an
these might be had if the inducement
were sufficient l do not know whethe
the state of Minnesota will do thi.
but / propose to find out in a shor

WOMEN's WORK WORTH LITTLE
Women in Chicago Are Trying to Live
On Salary of Five Dollars
Per Week

More than $4,000 working women in
Chicago are receiving wages of SIS or
less week each, according to reports
made to Acting Governor Barratt o.
Hara Thursday by the investigators of
the senate vice commission, of which
he is chairman.
After a conference between Mr.. o.
Hara and the chief Investigator of the
commission, Acting Governor O'Hara
issued the following statement:
"The reports of our investigators
show that there are more than $4,000
girls and women in the city of Chi
cage who are receiving salary of SIS
a week or less On this stipend these
$4,000 women are struggling for exist
ence with practically no advance or
chance for relief in sight
"These women are living in fur
nished rooms and are underfed, ac-
cording to our Investigators. 1t is
safe to say that the great majority of
them since they. have become wage
earners do not know what full meal
means. Half of them are living on
two meals day and these meals of
the 10 or 15-cent variety. Many of
them have to depend for clothes on
what more successful friends are will
ing to give them of cast-off garments.
'In brief this is the situation: Is
it any wonder women go wrong? No
woman is bad at heart; environment is
responsible for a majority of crime.
Women go wrong because they are
compelled to. They have to live. Life
is dear to all of US.
81 have communicated the facts as
given to me by our investigators to
the other members of the commission.
Everyone of them has reaffirmed his
determination to continue with this in
vestigation until all the facts are
brought out and made public.
''The senators declare that if the
women of Illinois are being paid star
walton wages and that, as a result,
many of them are being made victims
of the infamous white slave traffic, il
is high time the people take cogniz-
ance of such conditions.
"Of course, until our investigation
has proceeded further and we have IN
terrogated the large employers under
oath | cannot say whether the report!
made before me are founded on fact
The commission is determined to d,
full justice to employer as well as t,
employee and we will not presume t,
PREJUDICE anyone guilty until furthe
testimony has been had. The big EN-
ployers summoned to appear before u
have been ordered to bring with then
their payrolls."

daughter: "Here is thread; you can
thread the needles for the workmen'

afternoon the young man with the
short needlesful had finished his task

Both Were Lonely
Mr.. Davidson said he had known
Mrs. Richards for many years. He
said his wife died about twenty years
ago and that he was lonely. Mrs.
Richards, he said was also lonely,
and they had agreed that they might
as well marry. He did not know just
what arrangements had been made for
the wedding, he said, but had left the
details all to his bride-to-be.

LIMITATIONS OF
A TOOTH BRUSH

Ask your dentist II the toothbrush
alone will maintain the absolute clean
illness which is necessary to keep the
teeth and mouth free from disease.
He will tell you No"
The crevices between the teeth and
the junction of teeth and gums furnish
lodging places for multitudes of mi
crobes. They are out of the bristles
reach and you could no more dislodge
them with a toothbrush than you could
clean your carpet with a rake.
The toothbrush is indispensable to
mouth cleanliness; but IL should be
supplemented with a reliable antiseptic
mouth wash and gargle, which will
bubble into crevices, roofing out and
destroying disease-producing bacteria
and such decaying matter as the brush
fails to remove.
The best antiseptic to use is Listo-
gen. 1t goes farther than peroxide of
hydrogen by uniting with that most eff
ficient germ destroyer the remedial and
antiseptic properties of thymol. men
thol. and eucalyptol.
These valuable elements take up the
work where peroxide of hydrogen
leaves off, and with their help Listogen
not only destroys the germ, but in
some degree repairs the damage that
has been done.
Ask your druggist for Listogen. You
will delight in the purifying, refresh
ing sensation that 1t gives. csc. SOC,
