Then and Now.

The old.fashioned woman's idea o.
resting was to change her work. She
sat down to darn stockings and rest
or she got her Bible lesson or nursed
her baby or knit winter socks while
she rested. Resting was getting OF
her feet. Today woman has to buy
herself 20 kimonos and caps and &C
off to an expensive sanatorium ant
have a trained nurse give her the
milk cure, to rest up.-El Paso (Tex.)

Great Generals All Used snuf,

Suggestions Of a revival OF snuff
taking may recall the love of some IA
nous commanders for tobacco in that

were prodigious snuff takers, SO was
Washington. AS for Frederick the

etful Of snuff that he might convey

rrPs AND WAGES.

The excuse for federation of the tipping system has commonly been that walters, porters and other serv- ants are paid such low wages that they must have liberal tips in order to live With this in view, many men nowadays in city restaurants hand out a. tip. The travelling sales man or impecunious traveller who can't play the game on this level is subjected to many anoyances.
 Pullman sleeping car porters tes- tifying before the Industrial Relations committee the past week. reported very liberal wages as the result of the tipping system. One man said that his salary was s42.oO a month. and his tips averaged $75.0O. Other cases were similar.
 The average man employed in Pullman car porter work through out the country could not probably earn SIT a month in other employment. A frequent result is fhat by fattering and obseqqiously waiting on wealthy people. while neg1ecting others, they win a wage above the average level. Thus they gain money at the cost of a loss of independence.
 If the tipping system were held down to reasonable level, it would not always increase the cost of trav- seL If all the customers of the aver age hotel should at once stop tip ping, the hotel managers would have to increase wages. Probably then they would increase prices.
 But the tipping system annoys the public with gr owing size. of tips, feel ing that they are victims Of 2 grsft, yet bothered by the fear Of being unfair to work people. The man with the threadbare clothes Is slight ed and sneered at, while the one with the costly tailored suit is fawned up on It is undenocratfc and contrary to American principles.
 The tipping system thrusts on the traveller services which he would pre- fer to perform for himself. If he walks with a light grip few blocks to the station, he is made to feel that he is a .tightwad'' for not scat tering his quarters Hotel and res taurant keepers should see that their ernp1oyes are paid enough SO thai their hungry ardor for coins is not too burdensome.

CHOP SUEY HOUSE GETS LOW MARK IN.
 SAINT AIRY RATINGS
Lodginq House and Cooking Room In Same Apartments

J. -
 Restaurant inspections have reveal ed some startling conditions in the city's center. Inspectors c. HI. Dun bar and sJ. c. Grace found appalling conditions today in the Low Ben Flung Chinese restaurant at CT State street, which has resulted in the lowest mark being given Sixteen persons were found sleeping hunks adjacent to the kitchen in which food was being pre- pared Two toilets were found com nunicating with the same food supply rooms and orders were left to have them properly closed and ventilated.
 It is not proposed that lodging houses and restaurants shall be per mitted in the same apartments and means will be sought t ostaTnp out the evil.
 It was also reported yesterday that many restaurants were found in which canned food was either being stored after cooking without removal to porcelain or glass dishes. or cooked directly in the cans, q process that forms acid poisonous to the system. Tn one instance it has been reported to the board of health that a soup bone was taken directly from a gar bage receptacle, cooked and served to a customer.
 The front of a restaurant is not the only part customer should want to see clean. said Inspector Dunbar today- S What we: aim to do is to get at kitchen abuses The majority o1 the restaurants visited are found in fair condition, some Of them being good, but the lunch carts about the city have been found in the worst condition.
