If DOMESTIC SERVICE COULD
BE MADE BEARABLE.

On the part of girls there is 4
growing tendency to enter shops, of.
fees, and factories rather than Ia
stay ut homo or enter domestic ser
vice. But, after twenty years have
been spent in any of these occupn-
tons, it vol be found TINT the wo-
men who chose domestic service, if
she has been thrifty, is probably ms
well Off financially, and better of
in health, than her sisters who went
into factories or offices.
Office and factory work is terri
bly, hard on girls, according to Sir
Thomns Oliver in Occupations. If
domestic service could be made bear
able for girls, the health and happi-
ness of the world would leap forward
Under present conditions servant girls
have n dull time. Their evenings,
Saturday afternoons and Sundays
are not their own, to spend M they
please. For girls with an indepcnd-
ent spirit, to be Il servant is intolcra-
BILE. Several changes must be made
in the scheme of domestic service.
The girls should have better wages,
greater opportunities for rest and
leisure and decent rooms to live in.
When that time comes, more girls
will take up cooking-a very prolita-
BILE career. for cooks are always in
demand They command high wages,
and if they marry they have learned
trade that will always make them
n living.
Office work is attractive to many
girls because it is clean, and, if car
ricd on in light, well ventilated Offices
it is hcalthful. But one great objcc-
ton TO it is the fact that it involves
too much sitting and too little cxer-
else.
Anemia and sccrosis are maladies
most common in the early years of
womanhood, and these are caused by
nothing else than long continued sit
ting when Mt work,-or it's opposite,
too much ing,--deprivation of
fresh air, and too short intervals for
taking food. The fact that until re-
Gently, in all countries, women when
pregnant were allowed TO keep on
working in the factory and else
where almost to the end of the term,
and no doubt TO blame for most of
their subsequent i'll health, which
shows up 80 terrifyingly in the sta
tistics table.

TRAIN YOUR DAUGHTER FOR
MARRIAGE.

Eighty-seven out of every hundred
American girls marry. Yet not ten
per cent of them are given the kind
of education that fits them for mar
riage, says Ida NJ Tarbell, in the
Ways of Women.
Girls leave school or college not
prepared at all for marriage, and i'm
perfectly prepared for self-support.
In the old days girl was, at least,
thoroughly educated in marriage. She
began at the age of three to piece n
quilt or knit stocking, and was dis
ciplined in every branch of house
keeping. To-day economic conditions
have changed, so that this kind of
training can not always be given in
the home. But It's equivalent could
and should be given in the schools.
"For," says Miss Tarbell, "there is
not shadow of doubt but that this
training would be of the greatest az
sistance in any work she might I'M
dertake in shop or factory or Office"

kept up. Here are the reasons.
Goods are very often too long in
transit. :"
Poor packages and rough handling
FOR example, on May II whole
Shipment of raisins, packed in frail
boxes and unloadcd car,essly was con.
demned. Similar losses occur N eyy
shipments because secondhand c,scs
are used and eggs are packed unset
entitically.
"A great supply of potatoes have
come to New York recently from the
Sopth; but they came in the poorest
quality of barrels. In one week 1900
barrels arrived wet, dirty, broken:
ana the railroad authorities say that
about thousand dollars worth of
potatoes arc wasted every div Mt its
piers in Jersey City.
Goods are packed in wet wcntber
Farmers should know that wet, per-
ishable foods will not keep if thew
are packed wet.
but there are other enormous
sources of waste besides transpor.
tation.
Tho losses occurring in the whole
sale trade are comparatively small,
because wholesale dealers arc the
most expert handlers of food-stuirs
IN the whole market system. But in
the retail trade the waste becomes
important again. Perishable prod
ucts d,teriotc very quickly after thcy
get into the hands of thu rcto;lo,.
and large quantities spoil before thcv
get TO the consumer. Nearly 10 per
cent. OF nll perishable products mar
keted are either total loss in retail
stores or deteriote so that thcy have
TO be sold at II sacrifice. Tho mnin
reason for this is the lack of proper
facilities in retail stores. Delicate
commodities that have been handled
IN ice NIL the way reach the retail
store only to be exposed to ordinary
temperatures and tho sun for hours
at time. Vegetables that are laid
out fresh in the morning become
wilted and spotted by night.
1t should be realized in this con-
nection That the wholesale produce
dealer is necessary to the retailer. If
the retailer tried TO buy direct from
the farmer, he could not regulate his
supply half so well. Retailers even
use poor Judgment in ordering from
wholesalers. They are npt to order
too much instead of too little. not
realizing how serious their loss will
be from spoilage.

ing, as writer in the Edinburgh Re-
view points out. Take the fishes for
example. as instanced by Sutherland:
"Of species that exhibit no sort of
parental care, the average of forty
nine gives 100000 eggs to female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology for nests
the number is only 10000 Among
those which have any protective
tricks, such as carrying the eggs in
pouches, the average number is under
loco; among those whose care takes
the form of uterine or quasi-uterine
CESSATION which brings the young into
the world alive, an average of Sc
eggs is quite sufficient.
Coming down through human his
tory, one finds the same law work
ing. Among savage or semi-civiized
peoples the birthrate is very high, as
is also the death rate through enc
mics and disease. But, as fast as civ
ilization makes its influence felt, the
result is seen in lowered birth-rate
accompanied by better care Of the
fewer children who are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations in Europe which
were most ready and eager for war

that he used this in dispensing his
goods
But here comes the interesting fea-

ALLIED AND UNITED.
New York Times.)

The Allies will fight Germany as
one power under the working plan
agreed upon by the Interallied Wan
Council in Paris. In the list of co.
ordinations accomplished by the
Council, given out by the State De-
partment yesterday, four agreements
relating to the participation of the
United States stand out prominently
The first is that by restricting all i'm
portations that may be dispensed with
and by the maximum utilization of
transport resources, the greatest pos
slble amount of tonnage will be made
available for the transportation of
American troops to Europe. Tho sec
ond is that through the pooling of
resources for the mutual advantage
OF the countries engaged in the war
against Germany, there is guaranteed
full equipment of every kind" for
all American troops sent to Europe
during the year 1918, This is not fiat
tering to US, for it means that tho
we be laggards in fitting out our SOL
diers with rifles and machine guns,
our allies will make good the de-
fieiency. The third is the plan "for
the more active utilization of Amer
lean naval forces in conjunction with
those of the Allies, and n close, COM
mon understanding of operations and
policy between our Navy Department
and the British Admiralty. The
fourth is the steps taken towards Sc
curing unity of control in the armies
on the western front, which now in
cludes Italy. In the words of the
summary given out at Washington,
this assures for the future unity
of support on the part of the Unit
ed States and the Allies"
Late, but with clear understand
ing of mutual aims and firm resolve
to achieve them, the Allies effect that
coordination of forces and resources
which they should have had from the
beginning. Germany, with all the
aid that Austria, Bulgaria and Tur-
key bring to her, is not strong
enough to stand up against the
whole world; even with the advan-
tage of that intense military prep
aration upon which she has concen-
trated al her powers for so many
years, she is not and never has been
mighty enough to resist the impact
of forces arrayed against her. The
lack of cooperation among them,
division and confusion of councils,
policies and plans, have sorely di-
minished their effectiveness in the
field and at sea. Could the mighty
instrument now fashioned by these
agreements have been employed
against Germany from the beginning
should would have been forced to sue
for peace long ago. This union of
resources and coordination of eff
fort makes n bright beginning for
the new year, the year that we may
now feel will seen the end of the war.

THE MOST SILENT ARMY IN THE
WORLD.

Next to men, cavalry horses used
to be the heroes of war. But tanks
and trench fighting and terrible mod
ern guns have almost put the cavalry
horses out of business. Today it is
the dog that carries off all the lau-
rels.Th cavalry horse, at its best,
is only the faithful accessory of its
master. But the war dog is an indie
pendent fighting unit.
Every French army corps has its
completely organized, fully stated
and equipped camps of dogs, admin
lstered like any other recognized arm
of service" writes Captain A. ]. Daw-
son in For France.
"The dog camps consists of huts,
as in the case of the mems camps:
but there is no front wall to these
huts, and along the inside of the hut
are neat kennels, all numbered, and
looking like the miniature stalls in
stables, except that each is separate
ly rooted. The dogs have their drill,
parade, and maneouvering grounds,
just as soldiers have; their admins
tratlve center; their cook-house, and
dressing station and hospital.
1.-The first lesson the French war
dog has to learn is obedience to the
simple order: 'Still!' or STAY therep
AT first he has merely to sit still
at his commanders feet; but before
the day is out he will learn to sit
still also. while his instructor walks
away across the battle-ground.
Having learned to stay in a given
position on given spot, the war dag
is then taught sentry duty; that is.
to keep sharp lookout in a given di-
rection, and in that direction only. To
this end, he sits erect in sort of
shutting butt, looking to his front, his
view to either side being hemmed in
by bare boards. The instructor stands
IN rear, and every time the neophyte
turns his head round the Instructors
voice sharply recalls him to his fpost!
until very soon the word post comes
definitely to mean duty to the dog.
One of the most important parts
OF war-dog training is liaison duty
the carrying of dispatches. Carry
ing despatch in his collar, the dog
is liberated from sentry post by
one master and hidden to travel to
his front, belly to earth, to find his
other master. Off he flies, and travels
warily as any old campaigner, TAX
ing advantage of every fold in the
ground for cover from fire."
