Calls Fight on 8-H0ur
Lam Wasted Energy

The contentious made by Earn
shaw In attacking the law follow:
It is beyond the power of Congress
to pass a law prohibiting hotel heep-
ers from employing women more
than eight hours a day;
Or to prevent women from working
in hotels. etc. more than eight
hours a day.
The act would deprive women of
their property without due process
of law. that is the right to contract
for work.
The act discriminates against
hotels and restaurants in favor of
! apartments, boarding houses and
, private houses.
Penalties are SO severe as to in
timidate defendants from resorting
to the courts.
The hotel business canno. be run
at a profit under the law.
while these ayerments are the
same that probably will be made in
the trial Of Sarah Hampstead. house,
keeper of the Metropolitan Hotel.
and Townley A. Mckee, manager Of
the Southern Hotel Company in the
Police Court" said Corporation
Counsel Stevens, ct believe that the
courts will, without a doubt, sustain
the law. There have been laws OF
the same nature brought under the
test of the courts and these have
been held legal. This Is not new
law: Il Is built on solid ground snd
We have no fear for the validity Of
the eight-hour law"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1914-07-15

Congress considered the eight
hour law for women in all Its dif-
ferent phases before IL acted on the
important measure. and I am sure
those interests that are now oppos-
ing it are wasting energy" de-
clared Francis H. Stevens, special
attorney in the office OF Corpo-
ration Counsel Syme, who has charge
of the Governments side in the litiga-
ton now pending against the law.
THE District government Is pre-
pared to uphold the act, because we
not only think it legal. but that. 1t is
a good law" added Stevens.
A copy Of the bill attacking the
constitutionality of the eight-hour
law. filed in the District Supreme
Court by Basil B. Earnshaw and the
Congress Hotel Company, wherein
the petitioner hopes to enjoin the
District Commissioners from enforc-
ing the law. Is now in the hands Of
the corporation counsel, and Stevens
and his associates are preparing to
vigorously resist the allegations OF
the petitioner.
The chief point made In the objec-
lions to the eight-hour law Is that
1t Is discriminatory. THE whole mat
ter said Stevens. hinges on the
question of discrimination. Any dis
elimination in any law Is unconssti-
tutional, but In the first section Of
the eight-hour law for women 1t Is
specified that ell women working. in
mercantile, manufacturing. or COM
mercial establishments shall not
work any longer than eight hours In
any one day. Does this section ia
vor classes, or does 1t cover all
women who are employed Industrial
ly? That Is the question"

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A Physicians Advice.

Indigestion and practically all forms
OF stomach trouble are, nine times out
Of ten. due TO acidity; therefore. stom-
ech sufferers should, whenever possible,
Avoid eating food that is acid in its ma
Eure, or which by chemical action in the
Ftomach develops acidity. Unfortunate
Y, such q rule eliminates most foods
"hich are pleasant to the taste as well
Is those which are rich in blood, flesh
end nerve building properties. This is
the reason why dyspeptics and stomach
sufferers are usually so thin, ernaciated
and lacking in that vital energy which
can only come from well-fed body.
For the beneflt of those sufferers who
have been obliged to exclude from their
diet all starchy, sweet, or fatty food,
ana are trying TO keep UP a miserable
existence on gluten products. / would
suggest that you should try a meal of
any food or foods which you may like.
In moderate amount. taking immedi-
etely afterwards teaspConful of
bisurated magnesia in a little hot or
cold water. This will neutraIiZe any
acid which may be present, CT which
may be formed. and instead Of the
usual feeling of uneasiness and full
ness, you will find that your food agrees
with you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia
IS doubtless the best food corrective
and antacid known. 1t has no direct
action on the stomach: but by neutral
izing the acidity of the food contents
and thus removing the source of the
acid irritation which inflames the deli
cate stomach lining. it does more than
could possibly be done by any drug or
medicine As a physician. i believe
IN the use Of medicine Whenever nee
essary. but must admit that ] cannot
see the sense of dosing an infamcd
and irritated stomach with drugs in
stead Of getting rid of the acid-the
cause Of all the trouble. Get little
bisurated magnesia from your drug
Eist, eat what you want at your next
meal, take some of the bisurated mag
nesia as directed above, and zee IL I'm
not riEht"-Advt

GIFT LADEN PINATAs.


Unique Holiday FroIics Which Delight
Children Of Mexico.
About ten days before Christmas in
the City of Mexico the puestos in the
Gale de San Diego begin to grow
festive with evergreens. flowers. bright
from the mountains by the paisanos
to delight the eye and tempt the purses
of the promenaders. In the booths Of
the neighboring Gale de San Juan
are displayed fruits. nuts and candies.
and still others offer angels. shepherds.
sheep. mules. oxen and other objects
suggestive of the SaviOur's birth.
Probably the greatest attraction for
the Mexican children are the pinatas
Peddlers may be seen sauntering along
the streets carrying long poles which
are strung with varicolored pinatas Of
every description. draped with tinsel.
These represent flowers. fruits. ami
mails and even men and women. and
each contains jar filed with goodies.
They range in price from % centavos
to several dollars. according to their
degree Of elaborateness. The pinata
is suspended from the ceiling or hung
in the courtyard. All the family gath
er around it. A child is blindfolded
turned around several times. then given
stick and told to find and break the
pinata. II he fails after three trials
to locate it he surrehders to the next
in turn. and so on until lucky blow
skaters the pinata and the contents
fell, to be scrambled for.

PARCEL POST EGG MARKET
Now is Time for Farmer to Start Sell
ing Eggs to City Families

There are in our cities and
towns many housewives who
would be glad to make arrange
ments for receiving a supply of
fresh eggs direct from the farm
throughout the year. Just at
this time, when eggs are scarce
and the demand far exceeds the
supply of newly laid eggs, there
is a good opportunity for the
farmer, even though he has but
a few eggs to market, to make
contract with some city or town
family to supply them with
eggs. The farmers supply at
the present time will not be
great enough, possibly, to salts
fly the demand of the city family
but if the matter is explained it
will be easy to make arrange
ments to market eggs by parcel
post now and continue to do so
throughout the year. In other
words, it will be much easier to
make arrangements to ship eggs
now, when everybody wants
them, than to do so in the
spring, when they are in album
dant supply and when the house
wife can secure good, fresh eggs
in the market anywhere at a
nominal price. A satisfied GUS
toner can be made a profitable
all-year customer if the proper
price adjustments are made
when eggs again become plenti-
full. Farmers Bulletin 594,
Shipping Eggs by Parcel Post"
can be obtained from the Divi-
sion of Publications, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. CO.
Once having secured a parcel
post market for eggs, it will be
very easy to market other
things by the same method, such
as butter, poultry, fresh and
cured meats, sausage, fruits,
vegetables, honey, and so on.

t Holds Precedence Over the Christ
mas Tree In England.
The Christmas tree was rarely seen
In England until made popular by the
German husband of Queen Victoria.
and. while it is universal there at the
present time. it is the Yule log and the
mistletoe that hold the center of at
traction. Long before England became
a Christian country the Yule log was
burned in honor Of a pagan deity at
the winter solstice. and the infectious
spirit Of cheer and good win which
prevailed at that time survived when
Christianity spread abroad.
The festivities in England begin with
the lighting of the Yule log on Christ

try the whole family. including serv.

CHRISTMAS WAITS At
PUBLIC CHRISTMAS TREE.
Popular Old English Custom Growing
In Favor In America.

Christmas waits" those bands Of
singers familiar in England for several
centuries. have been less numerous in
recent years. but the custom, with GER
tain variations. is gaining ground in
the United States. The municipal
Christmas trees which will mark the
great holiday in many towns and cities
this year will have the singing of
Christmas carols and anthems as q
part Of the exercises in connection
with the trees.
kept up the custom Of the waits since
colonial days. Each Christmas eve a
band Of vocalists, recruited from the
choir Of St Mary's Episcopal church,
start out an hour or so before mid
night and sing carols and anthems In
various sections Of the city. They visit
the homes Of the rector. the curate and
members Of the vestry and sing before
their doors AS these homes are STU
ated in widely separated sections OF
the city, the singing is heard by prac-
tically all Of the residents.
Citizens Of the town who may have
retired early are usually aroused by
the singing. and windows in upper
floors are thrown open. AS the sing
ers move away after finishing the car
OILS the listeners yell greetings to their
neighbors, close their windows and re-
turn to their coy beds.
In many Of the houses before which
the singers render concerts the occu-
pants are expecting them. and they are
invited in to partake Of refreshments.
They can linger but little time, for
they must cover their arranged route
before the Ginning Of the church bells
ushers in new Christmas.
