envy.
Marshall Field & Co.'s regular
corps of spies are everywhere
through the store, sneaking and pry-

And, lately, Marshall Field & Co.
have achieved their crowning in
fanny. They have corrupted num-.

into spies on their fellow workers.

you they recently have established,
an So minimum wage for women.
They have. And by that same
token they have laid off enough girls
to make up for the increases granted
and are forcing their already over,
worked men employees to work over,
time almost every night.
AS to Sears, Roebuck & Co. They.
are firing their higher-paid employees,

Thanks to the O'Hara commission,
the people have come to know the,
miserably low wages paid in the

course, that the girls left will have
to work the harder. "a
If you ask Mandel Bros. about the
laying off of girls, of course, they
will tell you it was done because it
is slack season, and the girls were
not needed. 80
The beginning of spring! The
first hint of hot weather in the air!
And a slack season in a department
store! Bunk!
Besides, that slack season is such
a pitiful excuse. Does it never occur
to an overfed millionaire employer
that when he lays off an employe be-
cause it is a slack season" that he is
creating an exceedingly slack sea-
son" for that girl?
Apparently not. The millionaire's
swollen, illicit profits must go on
piling up and piling up, no matter
whether trade is good or bad.
And the girl? Why, if the girls
''home environment has been bad"
as Edwin Mandel and julius Rosen-
valid probably would put 1t, she can
go sell her body Or if she be of the
stuff of which most working girls are
made, she can go starve to death, or
stuff up the keyhole and turn on the
gas and end it that way.
What do the millionaires care
about the girl, about the human flesh
and blood that helped pile up the
millions that allow them to roll in
money and buy champagne for
drunken friends?
There is more human flesh and
blood where that girl came from, and
it also is willing to slave for a misery
wage to pile up still more millions for
the employer.

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.--"About two years ago
began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until 1t formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights ! could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching 1t
would burn SO dreadfully that l
thought could not stand It, For near

and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make It worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
One day saw an advertisement OF

with the Cuticura Soap, then applying

A dish Of soup or broth. in dainty

even, which means scarcely nothing TO
you, will be source of delight to the
shut-in one

raisins, figs and dates, with a bit OF

CHARGE ON THE COMMUNITY
Care of Those Afflicted With Tubercu.
Iosis Plainly Drag on the
General Welfare.

Or, n l.. Barnes, superintendent of
the Rhode Island State, sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies of patients dis
charged as Sal parently cured from
that institution. that saAatorium is
a sound investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings of 40 ex-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted TO
$102,752, and those of I'll cases in
1912 TO sl12.02I. BY applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa-
tients of the sanatorium living in 1911
and 1912 DR., Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years was
$55l,000. This sum is more than three
times the cost OF maintenance of the
sanatorium. including interest at 4
per cent. on the original investment
and depreciation charges. DR.. Barnes
concludes, however. While institu.
tons for the cure OF tuberculosis are
good investments, there is good rea-
son for thinking that institutions for
the isolation of far advanced cases
would be still better investments"
