THE DEMANDS OF SERVANTS

The first domestic servants union
formed east, of the Missouri river is
reported from Duluth, MINI. It Is
presenting to emplAyes a list of de-
mands. These include a nine hour
day, time and a half for overtime,
one full day each week for recreation,
also higher wages.
The kitchen lady already has pretty
much her own way. She may be i'm
pertinent may know practically
nothing about cooking, and may never
sweep in dark corners. But even if
so, the mistress puts, up with her SER
vice because the old type Of faithful,
competent, contented service grows
harder to find each year.

USE
Of DRUGS CAUSED
!. BY PROHIBITION

That prohibition. is the cause Of the
Increased use Of habit-forming drugs
is shown in the following story taken
from the New York Globe:
In committing an acknowsl edged
drug addict to the Metropolitan Hos
pital, Magistrate Simms, sitting in
Yorkville Court, said that the spread
of prohibition has increased the use
of habit-forming drugs.
The case in question was that OF
234 East Forty-second Street, who
said he was addicted to the use Of
heroin and wanted to be sent to the
hospital to be cured. Smith declared
he had contracted the habit from some
actors and got his supply from them.
"Oh, you mean the fellows who
travel around a great deal and into
dry territory" said the magistrate.
This lis another bit Of Information
which seems to show the relationship
between the spread of prohibition and
habit forming drugs. When the con-
ftrmcd alcoholic can not get what he
wants he, finds a substitute which can
he easily carried around. Then he
boasts Of the merit Of the substitute
to persons easily Influenced by the
boasting.".
After the magistrate had commit
ted Smith, Gertrude Wilson, 81 years
old. OF. .369. Second avenue, who said
she was a victim of the morphine hab-
1T asked to be sent to the hospital
She said she had been using the drug
since she was sixteen years old She
said that this was the third time this
week she he'd come to the court, but
on the other two occasions had cold
feet"

the struggle for existence, while the
weaker--namely, the species less fitted.
