The Workday for Women

The News has information to
the effect that the industrial well
fare commission of Kansas has
received a complaint from Baxter
Springs about certain violations
of the statutes here relative to
the hours which women employees
should work. For the benefit of
any who may be ignorant of the
law and might get into trouble
through such ignorance The
News prints the following ex-
PLANTATION of the law as published
recently in the Kansas City Star:
"The 9 hour regulation of the
industrial welfare commission of
Kansas means nine hours on
duty in any single day, and not
more than fifty-fourr hours in
any week. And the nine hours
of work must come within an
elapsed time Of ten hours, not in
cluding meal hours regularly
allowed in counting eitherperiod.

Woman Takes Mans Place

The great shortage of men as
day laborers is being felt in Bax-
ter, especially by the local lum-
ber yards which are unable to
get men and teams fast enough
to take lumber away from the
cars. 1t is noticeable that a good
many young boys under Is are
helping in various ways, and one
woman has assayed to "do her
bit" by assisting to unload a car
of lumber. When jested about
her heavy work she modestly re-
piled that she saw no harm in
helping her husband who had
been made sick by the excessive
heat and that she was we'll able
to do that kind of work. She
was handling bundles of lath and
wore coarse cotton gloves and
seemed to get away with the
work as readily as her mates.
She predicted that in a short
time many women would be TAX
ing the place of men on the day

How to Can Tomatoes

The following method is used
by canning demonstrators in the
North and West:
Select firm, well-formed toma-
toes Scald l 1-2 minutes or un.
til skins loosen. Dip quickly
into and out of cold water. Pee
and remove stems and cores.
Pack directly into cans or hot
jars. Press down with a table
spoon (add no water.) Add a
level teaspoonful of salt per
qu"rt. Put the rubber rings and
caps of jars into position, but do
not tighten fully. Seal tin cans
completely. Place the packed
containers on a false bottom in a
vessel of water sufficiently deep
to cover them by l inch and
allow to remain at a boiling
temperature for % minutes,
when using hot-water-bath cam

days the employer must allow
time off at some time during the
day, so that the girl can work
nine hours within a 10-hour con-
tinuous day. This can be allow
ed only one day a week. He can
not compel the girl to work
three hours in the morning, three
in the afternoon and three at
night and comply with the law.
The penalty for violating the
order is a fine of $25 to 500 for
each offense. A letter to the in
dustrial welfare commission
about any complaint of working
girls over hours will bring action
at once and the information will
be held in absolute confidence.
A girl cannot be compelled to
work from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.
with two hours for meals.

TO CAN SWEET CORN
Method Used by Canning Dem.
onsirators in the North
So and West

Can as soon after the corn is
gathered as possible. Remove
husks and silk. Blanch by plac-
ing in boiling water for FIVE
minutes. Remove and dip quick
'ly into and out of cold water.
Cut the corn from the cob and
pack directly into hot jars or
cans to within one-fourth inch OF
the top. Pour in enough boiling
water to fill the container. Add
one level teaspoonful of salt to
each quart. Put rubber rings
and caps of jars in position, but
do not tighten the wire clamps.
Seal tin cans completely.
Place containers on a \false
bottom of wooden Stats or wire
mesh in a vessel of water deep
enough TO cover the co taine S
completely. Keep the water
boiling for hre e hours.
Remove the jars, tighten
covers, invert jars to test seal,
and cool mot in draft, as jars
might crack.)
Tin cans may be placed in cold
water for rapid cooling.
After the containers are cool
store in a dark, cool place.
Rapid preparation for canning
is especially desirable for corn
if a good quality of product is to
be obtained. The best results
can be secured when one person
cuts the corn from the cob and
another fills the containers. If
it is necessary for one person to
work alone she should cut off
sufficient corn to fill one jar,
pour on boiling water, add salt,
place the rubbers and caps in
position, and put the jar or
container into hot water at once.
The extra cooking which will be
given to the cans first filled will
not be injurious and a better
product will be secured than if
the cut corn were allowed to
stand until all jars were filled.

den, while on the other hand, bust
ness, scientific and professional men
would bear the brunt of the rule.
2. Because a woman worked be-
fore marriage it will not follow that
her husband will be refused exemp-
ton or that she can go back to work
and take care of herself. The presi-
dent is said to realize that this view
of the ruling, as now applied by To-
cal boards on General Crowdsr's in
structions, works grave hardships in
many cases. A woman's health may
not be so good as before marriage,
and what is still more important, she
may not be able to get such posi-
ton as she had when welded. This
applies especially to women who
were school teachers and in other
professional employments.
3. Married men owning their own
business or engaged in the profess
sions, such as doctors, lawyers, arch
fleets, etc., in all probability will re-
ceive exemption, as the president
realizes tina hardship not alone would
be imposed during the period of the
war, but afterward, if these men
were removed from their homes and
forced to rebuild their business.
In case, however, they have suffi-
cient funds to maintain their wives
during their absence, exemption will
not be granted.
The same is true of either the
men. or wife has an income suffi-
cient to meet her needs, as those
needs. must be restricted to the ma
tional sacrifice of war.
Only 16 days remain before the
first increments of the drafted
forces will be on their way to the
training camps, and any reversal or
modification of the present regula-
tions will entail number of re-
hearings by district boards on reject
ed claims. The president, it is
believed, will air his views in suf-
ficient time to allow at least ten
days for such work.

PRESIDENT TO ACT, BE-
HALF OF MARRIED MEN.
Less Stringency Will Mark Action of
Boards After this Week,
Belief.

A dispatch to the daily press
says: ~.
President Wilson is going to modi-
fly the draft regulations as applied to
married men.
This was forecast today by a
source close to the White House.
From the same authority it was learn
ed that the presidents ideas of how
the law should be carried out in this
respect will be made plain before the
week ends, probably in the form of
a letter to Secretary of War Baker.
The following notifications of the
regulations will be among those to
be suggested, it was said today:
|. Men with dependent children
will be exempt in every case unless
they are men of wealth. At present
under Provost Marshal General Crow
der's Interpretation, such men are
not exempt if the parents either of
themselves or of the wife are able to
take care of her and the children.
1t is maintained that the present in
depreciation of the law creates class
distinction. Under it laboring men
would be exempt in practically every
instance, as their parents or their
wives parents scarcely would he in
