WOMEN AS MACHINISTS

Women have proved to be very eX-
client machinists in England, pressed
into this service by the eXigencies of
warfare. About 800 girls are now
Employed in the munitions factories of
that country, and at an early date a
great many more will be so engaged.
Some of these have been at work four
months, and were trained by such
skilled operatives as were available
for the work Of instructors, These
girls were found To be capable OF a
GOOD output on many of the operations
after only a weeks instruction. Lady
-uperintendents are in charge of the
place night and day, and good mess
room is provided for meals. All the
operations. with one exception, in the
making of eighteen-pound shells are
carried out by the girls The output
on some OF the operations exceeded
expectation, owing to the keenness OF
the girls, so much so that some of
the machines provided have actually
been found to be superfiuous. ana 9TH
err machines have been shown 10 be
capable Of more work than had ever
been believed to be possible. There is
plenty of such labor available in the
country, and all the women are moved
by the keenest spirit of patriotism.

WOULD GREELEY SAY "GO WEST
MAN," TODAYl

Many young people have remem-
bered the first half of Greeleys famous
dictum, Go West, young man. says a
writer i'm the April Woman's Home
Companion, and have forgotten the
second half, and grow up with the
country They forget that Greeley
gave that advice more than fifty years
ago; they know In vague sort of way
that the West has had a marvellous de-
velopment in the past half century. but
they still think it as being peculiarly a
land of promise, land where new en-
terprises spring up so quickly that
there is always a shortage of men, and
everybody is more good-natured than
anybody in the East, because every
body is more prosperous.
The West, in spite of all its attrac-
tions, no longer answers this rosy de-
scription. Our railroads have eally
abolished the economic differences that
once 80 distinguished the West from
the East. Certain cities in the West
are still growing very rapidly, but so
are cities In the East have seen the
time within ten years, in Montana,
when lay laborers were paid three dol
lars for the most ordinary kind of
work, and contractors were stealing
men from each other, so great was the
shortage But hace also seen, during
the panic of 1907, as great If not great
er, distress in the West than | saw in
tho East.
I'm other words, for the average
young man without capital, there are
just as many opportunities in New
are in Kansas City or Seattle or Los
York or Boston or Pittsburgh, as there
Angeles. Certain cities. in each Sec
ton, at certain periods offer glraia :
advantages. You can no longer meas
ure the value of an opportunity by its
location on the map.
AT any rate, he should be very GER
tain what he is going to do before he
gives up his present position. He
should have some more definite goal in
mind than just somewhere in the
West'-a will-o'-wisp that has ruined
many a young mans business career. "

COMMON COUGHS
SPREAD DISEASE

Every time you cough this winter
you will jeopardize the health of hun
dreds of men and women, says a we'll
known authority. The malignant
germs of coughs and colds are carried
In the.air and breathed in through the
nose and throat.
Here is fine fashioned recipe
for coughs, colds or catarrh troubles
that is absolutely unequaled: Go to
George A. Gorgas' or any other good
druggist. Get a package of Wonderoil
and use 1t according to directions.
You will be surprised how quickly,
easily and surely it chases the cough
germs out of the system. After you
are cured be sure to have a supply of
Wonderoil always in the house. 1t
will. prove cheaper than doctor bills

The rotten cream was neutralized
with whitewash before churning. The
so-called good cream was churned just
as ii was
The naked hand performances wit
messed in the churn room and print
room were as disgusting as any slaugh-
terhouse exhibition which we had ever
seen.
At this creamery. as was the case
with hundred others, some of the
cream arrived by railroad some was
brought in by farmers wagons.
Some was sour; some stringy; some
lumpy; some pUtrid: some merely dirty
with barn odors and fiavors.
Some was three days old; some six
days old. 1t doesn't pay the farmers
to run cream route every day with
fresh cream. Most of the cows repre-
sent only side line on the farm.
The owner of one of the Wisconsin
creameries said while we were talk
ing things over in his own plant:
Yes, the oleomargarine people are
crazy for not taking moving pictures
of the actual conditions of the barns
and creameries of the United States
now producing butter They could use
these pictures for advertising their
business"
When 1t was suggested to him that

tories and thus square accounts he
laughed and said: We'll. what is the

State Inspectors Declare That Nothing
Can be Done to Reform the Evils OF
the Butter Industry as Long as
Salablc Butter Can Be Made of Rot
ten Stuff Without the knowledge of
the Consumer.
At the first Wisconsin creamery vis-
tied we arrived in time to see twelve
cans of cream delivered by wagon
from the railroad station. Two of the
cans were fermenting. One of them
had blown the top off. Some of the
shippers had taken the precaution to
fasten the tops down with tar rope.
They were rolled off the platform
into the creamery by a tall, pasty-
faced youth with high cheekbones and
sunken cheeks. He lined them up in
two rows of six cans each.
Standing over them, he released the
lids from all the cans. Some of the
cream was ropy: some was lumpy.
Some OF 1t emitted a sour odor; some
of it a rotten odor.
The youth plunged long-handled
dipper into the, can nearest him,
brought it to his lips, and after tasting
1t spewed his mouthful over the other
cans so that the spray fell from his
lips into some or all of them. He
went through the same process twelve
times, once for each can. This was
the grading process.
In the creamery, which was a CEN
tralfzing plant, two grades of butter
were made. Seven cans were selected
for the best grade and five cans for
the second grade.

What Fat Folks Should
Do To Reduce Weight

Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cesSive fatness, weak nerves and feeble
stomachs, who, having tried advertised
tlesh-reducers, food-fads, physical Gull
ture stunts and rub-on creams, resign
themselves. to a lifelong fatness and
think nothing will make them thin Yet
their case is not hopeless. A recently
discovered combination of fat reducing
agents has made fat disappear after
years of obesity, and it is also unequal
ed, judging from reports, for reducing
flesh without weakening the digestive
system or impoverishing the nerves.
This remarkable preparation is called
Oil of Korein and comes in capsule
form. Fat reducing and SYSTEM build
ing elements of acknowledged merit
have been combined in this preparation,
which Is endorsed by people every
where. 1t is absolutely harmless, mex
pensive and efficient.
A few weeks systematic use of Korein
should go far to reduce flesh and fat
even after everything else has failed to
bring the desired result. Good drug
gists everywhere are dispensing Oil of
Korein in capsule form in the original
sealed laboratory package. Get some to-
