It is not young men only who are
addicted to the wanderlust habit
Young girls are quite as prone to be
rolling stones. The prettier many a.
working girl is the more dissatisfied
she may become amid dull, practical
surroundings, and long in secret for
a better setting for her comely face.
She is no sooner installed in a po-
sition than it grows irksome to her.
Zone never sees any one save stadd
store to trade,'' she complains, max
ing her mind up to look elsewhere for
a position.
The new place she secures doesn't
suit her much better. Nice people
come to buy gloves at her counter, yet
somehow the young n-en always bring
their mothers, sisters or sweethearts
with them. Then, too, there are girls
behind the counter at her side quite
as attractive as she. It's lost time

her to come attired as a. sensible bus

In a huff, she looks over the evening
paper. She sees a cashier is wanted
in a popular restaurant Her mind is
made up that a, place like that would
just suit her and she hopes they will
not require her to give a bond. Her
good looks secure her the position.
Indeed, she sees a great deal of high
life and gay life. The hours are ire
mendously long. She must stay on
duty continuously, save the short time
she is given for meals, from eight in
the morning until ten at night. The
pay is small, considering the wear and
tear on her nerves. Even Sunday she
cannot have as a day of rest. When
she has time to look the matter in the
face, she realizes that the longer she
should remain there the poorer she
would get. For it was out of the
question for her to save and appear
well dressed She couldn't complain
of dullness and not seeing new faces.

Revive Project to
Market Bamboo Pulp

Hong Kong, March Announce
Rnents that Sweden has prohibited
the export of paper pulp have re-
viYed interest in the manufacture OF
pulp from bamboo, which can be had
in unlimited quantities in TOnking
and other sections of the Far East
tributary to Hong Kong. Five years
ago a company was organized for
the development of the paper indus
try, and a large track OF land was
acquired by a company, whose stock
holders were originally Hong Kong
men. The company was a failure,
however and went into liquidation.
Several companies are now organ
izing in India for the purpose of uttlt-
zing bamboo pulp, and the continued
rise in the price OF paper is encOur-
aging stockholders to take part in
these enterprises. In some parts OF
the East, newspapers are paying
from fifty to sixty per cent. more for
printing paper than they were six
months ago. Prices have scared
very high in Japan, as we'll as in
China and India.
Because of the depressed eOndi-
tions of business resulting from the
war, newspaper publishers are un-
bic to advance their advertising
rates, and in 1nost offices the volume
of business has decreased. Conse-
ouently, publishers in the East are
looking eagerly towards any new
sources of paper supply.

Baby Carriages Must

London, March 1.-The baby car
riage has been put to a new use in
some of the East Coast towns. The
lighting regulations make it mis-
demeanor to use flash lamp in the
streets during these nights of pre-
caution against Zeppelin attacks, but
at the same time the law insists that
a perambulator must carry g. lamp.
Some ingenious individuals have hit
upon the idea of pushing baby car
riages around at night to light their
way, and still keep within the law.

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used In
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
IF you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.
