LOSS OF LOOP STORE JOBS
THROWS GIRLS INTO SLAVERY
Marian Palmer, II years old and
unaware of the ways of the loop,
came to Chicago from St. Louis with
her sister, Charlotte, year younger,
and went to work in the Boston Store
just before Christmas.
The girls say they were paid 50 a
week and commissions by the State
street store. This was just enough
to keep warm food in their stomachs
and pay the rent on the squalid room
at N. State and Superior SITS. 1t was
just enough'to live on. But the girls
were glad to~get along.
When the Christmas days were
gone and the store swept the tinsel
and holly from the windows and
started an aggressive January sale,
things went badly for the two girls.
Thousands of Christmas purchases
were returned and every time an
article that the girls had sold came
back the commission they got was
deducted from their salary for the
week the purchasers got their money
refunded.
So Marian and Charlotte, soon
after Christmas, found that they
would lose almost all of their wages
for some weeks to come under this
Boston Store system. So they quit.
Then followed hungry days of job
seeking with no luck They couldn't
place with another store because
every one of the loop houses had laid
on hundreds of girls just as fast as
they were not needed after the
Christmas holiday rush was over.
I One day as Marian, the older girl,
was walking along Dearborn street
after a vain attempt to get work in
the Fair, she noticed a swarthy man
who had followed her from the store.
He logged her steps and made

Start Tomorrow

 Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking a 9laes of hot water before
 breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat we'll, digest we'll, work we'll, sleep well, and look we'll. What glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is, if one, will. only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- |tire alimentary canal before putting Imore food into the stomach. The ac- ton of hot water and limestone phos- lhate on an empty stomach is wonder fully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water
 and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious
 spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and l sickly complexions are urged to get quarter pound of limestone pho!s;,
 phate from the drug store. This will
 cost very little, but is sufficient te make anyone a pronounced crank or the subject of inside-bathing before

MAY EMPLOY TROOPS
 TO EXECUTE THE ALIEN ENEMY ORDERS

New York, Nov. 20.-Government of ficialG considered here today plans for enforcing President Wilson's procla- nation barring enemy alien from wa ter fronts and other places where war work is in progress. They are said to believe the employment of troops is the only effective method.
 Military authorities at Governors island, headquarters of the department of the east, were reported to have de- tailed officers to command the troops assigned to this work. It is esti- mateG that 4,000 troops would be re- quired in the port of New York alone.
 In the event of this plan being adopted, it is said, camps will be es- tablished at convenient locations as the best means of feeding and quar- tering the soldierfs.

John was an affectionate child and was never quite contented unless he was loving his mother. One evening be was particularly generous with his bear hugs and just little rough and, as his mother was tired and perhaps . little cross, she said: "Johnny. dear, won't you please stop pulling on mots,- or so and sit over in that chair, or else might not like you any more?' John did as he was told and was quiet for quite while, all the time looking as though he had lost his last friend. Finally he said, in the most plaintive little tone of voice imnsin- able.

 He read letter from Governor Brough to the telephone people and the telephone company's reply, re fuslng to relinquish the right to em- plOy the discharge as the service de manded, and said that organized la DOT does not say that an employer snail not discharge an employe found wanting. There's nothing to do but carry on the fight from state to
 state," he said, land we depend upon the people of tne South to see that the girls get what is due to them just as the good people of Spokane and Sapulpa have done." He said the telephone rental rates are higher here than in other states.
 The demand, he said, is for a min- imum wage of $45 month. MT. Co., bel mentioned conversation with a local citizen, who had told him he ought to be ashamed" for organiz- ing the girls, appealed to the speakers patriotism, and shortly afterwards re- marked Che had a thousand bales of cotton over there, and if it burns I am blowed up sucker.'" A story re- lated by the speaker indicated the be- lief by him that the patriotism of the citizen he referred to was no deeper than his pocketbook.
 The organizer concluded by saying that the minds of the people had been poisoned before he came to Pine Bluff, and referred to petition asking the people to refrain from doing aught that would lead to discord, and called on the people to note how many of the $50 signatures were asking that their names be withdrawn, saying the subject had been misreprasented, and that 100 have apologized for signing the petition.
 MT. Gobel paid the telephone com pany one compliment: that it "de- mands that the girls be the flower of the land," and he thought they were.
 He announced a meeting at. a local theatre Sunday afternoon, and MT. Hicks announced that benefit ball will be given for the striking girls to- night.
 A collection was taken up during the meeting to raise $50 with which to pay rental of the tabernacle, the surplus to be given the girls"

Wrist Watch Slow to Win.

The wrist watch has been very slow sn coming into it's rightful place in ,hese United States. It is about 15 years since it appeared. At first it was considered piece of jewelry which could only be worn upon femi- nine wrist. The bracelet in gold anc the timepiece were often combined. There are, of course, some manly indi- viduals who wear bracelets even with out the pretext that they need them as watch settings. The old Roman legionaries and the fierce Numidians wore their bracelets high oG the upper arm so that they could flex thei, bulging biceps against them.
