their greatest feats. De Lesseps de.

$500 cases Of malaria at Ismailta;S In
1900 almost exactly the same number.
In 1901 Sir Ronald Ross was called
In to advise. In 1906 there were no
fresh cases. and malaria had been
stamped out. De Lesseps' attempt to
construct tho Panama canal was de-
feated largely. If not mainly, by the

If a housewife really wants a health.
full house she ought to keep growing
plants in her rooms-not for the pleas
ure Of them only, but because they
form a very excellent and practical
gauge of the moisture and heat of. the
house. The reason that most plants
will not thrive in the ordinary house
Is that the ordinary house is full Of
oyerheated bad air. This air Is just
as bad for the family as for tho Bos-
ton fern, but as children are tougher
than ferns the effect is not noticed as
far as they are concerned. No wise

NATIONS LABOR
: PROBLEM
s~ ,
OVER A MILLION AND A HALF
: WOMEN WORK AS FARM HANDS
, IN THE UNITED STATES.
BY Peter Radford

!
Lecturer National Farmers Union.
Our government never faced so ire.
.mendous a problem a. that now lying
dormant at the doors Of congress and
the legislatures, and which, when
aroused, will shake this nation from
center to circumference, and make
civilization hide its face In shame.
That problem is-women In the field.
The last federal censu reports
show we now have 1,514,000 women
working In the field, most Of them
south Of the Mason and Dixon line.
There were approximately a million
negro slaves working in the fields
when liberated by the emancipation
proclamation. We have freed our
slaves and our women have taken
their places in bondage. We have
broken the shackles of the negroes
and welded them upon our daughters.
The chaln-Gans Of Civilization.
; A million women in bondage In the
southern fields form the Changing OF
;civilization - the industrial tragedy
of the age. There is 10 overseer quite
SO cruel as that Of unrestrained greed,
no whip that stings like the lash OF
:suborned destiny, and no auctioneer's
block quite so revolving as that OF or
iganized avarioe.
The president Of the United States
was recently lauded by the press, and
very properly so. for suggesting medi-
alton between the engineers and rail-
road managers in adjusting their
schedule Of time and pay. The engi-
:neers threatened to strike II their
wages were not increased from ap-
;proximately ten to eleven dollars per
day and service reduced from ten to
eight hours and a similar readjust-
Iment Of the overtime schedule. Our
women are working In the field, many
:of them barefooted, for less than 5O
cents per. day, and their schedule Is
the rising sun and the evening star,
and after the days work is over they
milk the COWS, slop the hogs and rock
the baby to sleep. Is anyone mediat-
ing over their problems, and to whom
>.shall they threaten a strike?
1Songress has listened a%pprovingly
IN those who toll at the forge and be-
hind the counter. and many OF u
statesmen have smiled at the threats
and have famed the flame Of unrest
among industrial laborers. But wom-
;en are as surely the final victims OF
industrial warfare as they are the
,burden.bearers in the war between ma.
:tions. and those who arbitrate and
mediate the differences between capi-
tai and labor should not forget that
when the expenses Of any industry are
unnecessarily increased. society foots
the bill by drafting a new consignment
of women from the home to the field.

we commend to those who accept the
responsibility of the distribution OF in.
.dustrial justice, the still small voiceo (
the woman In the field as she pleads
for mercy, and we beg that they pinch
mo crumb from her crust Of bread or
put another patch upon her ragged
garments.
We beg that they listen to the
scream of horror from the eagle on
every American dollar that Is wrung
from the brow Of tofing women and
hear the Goddess Of Justice hiss at .
verdict that increases the want Of
woman to satisfy the greed Of man.
The women behind the counter and
in the factory cry aloud for sympathy
and the press thunders out In their
defense and the pulpit pleads for
mercy, but how about the woman in
the field? VIII not. these powerful
.exponents. of human rights turn their
talent, energies and influence to her
relief? Will the Goddess of Liberty
enthroned at Washington hold the cal.
loused hand and soothe the feverish
brow Of her seq who sows and reaps
the nations harvest or will she permit
the male Of the species to shove
women-weak and weary-from the
'bread-line OF industry to the back al.
legs Of poverty?

The census bursau shows that 1885,
900 of these women are forty-dve

these sanity moth,rs OF Israel stopped
