First, Imitation brings rising prices,

HOME SERVICE ACTIVITY

The Home Service course in this
city is proving very interesting and
also of much benefit. The field work,
which has been in charge of Miss
Florence Without of Chippewa Falls,
was completed the past week, ard she
has returned to her home - flat city.
Among the speakers the past week
was Miss Tracy Copp of Milwaukee,
director of the Woman's Department

sion. Miss Copp explained the laws
regarding women workers. She spoke
on the working hours for women; the
child labor permits; safety and SANTA
ton, etc. In some cities the women
workers in factories are now allowed
to take work home from factories,
where it is possible, and finish. In
order to insure justice to the woman
worker herself and to insure the pro-
duct, the Commission requires Ii
cense for work done in this way and
inspectors are sent out by the Commits.

so that there may be no question that
the product is made on strictly sani-
tary and proper basis. Miss Copp
also stated that in many of the larger
factories woman worker is employed
to do service work only. In this case
woman, who has had training in this
work, is necessary. She has charge of
first aid room; examines the work.
ing conditions of the employees; goes
into the homes of the employees and
gives advice if necessary; for the new
employee she has a list of good
boarding and rooming places, which
they may go to, etc. Miss Copp went
on saying that the war had made big
changes in industry. The women of
our country today are filling many po-
sitions made vacant by the necessity
of our men going to war. Positions
such as cab drivers, motormen, ele-
vator operators, etc., are being taken
| by the women here now days.
| Judge Louis Marchetti spoke to the
ladies interested in the Home Service
course last Tuesday afternoon. His
talk was along the state and municipal

periences with the juvenile court in

Mr.. William Allen,

My dear Sir:
Thought | would just drop you a
line to let you know l am alive and
in good fighting trim.
The doings in the T. o. o. F. lodge
and the service flag presented, in
which there is a star for me, was sent
me by my little daughter in a news
paper clipping, and l want to thank
my many friends for the honor and
place they have thus accorded me.
Your poem regarding the flag was
also sent me, and l was very much
pleased with it and the sentiment
therein expressed, is really the senti-
ment of the boys from Wausau, i can
assure you.
We are doing very important work
here and expect to finish very soon;
and then we go to the battle front in
France and do Pioneer Engineer duty
there. We are working hard early
and late to complete our job mere, so
we can get into the real game. We
eat good and sleep comfortably and
every one is in good shape.
Hope this letter will find you feel
ing as fine as l feel, Billy, and that
you will keep on boosting for the
good cause Us fellows over here APP
preciate good backing at home.
Give my regards and good wishes
to your sister, Mrs. Pomeroy, and re-
member me to all my friends, whom
you may meet.

Proper Food for Weak Stomaehs

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially care
full and should eat slowly and masti-
cate their food thoroughly. 1t is also
important that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become consti-
pated or when they feel dull and stupid
after eating, they should take Cham
berlain's Tablets to strengthen the
stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy TO take and pleasant in effect.
