PLAN MERRY XMAS FOR POOR
 KIDDIES

Have you got a penny or some loose change you want to get rid of? The girls at the office of the Health De- partment have formed ''penny or ganization'' for the purpose of col lecting as many pennies as possible with which to make a group of poor children happy on Christmas Eve. A box has been installed in the office and a poster placed in a conspicuous place where friends entering the building may know that the girls are eager for their pennies.
 Any loose change or pennies that the girls may have goes into the box. Miss Bessie O'Hara and Miss Minnie charge of the finances. So enthusias- tic are the girls over the plan that many of them are already making dolls and other Dlaythings for the children and spend their spare time in adding any necessities that will please and delight the little kiddies on Christmas.
 It is expected that over two dozen chillren will in this way be benefited and made happy. The names of those who need the good cheer the most will be obtained from the var ious charitable institutions in the city The other girls who are acting Santa Claus for the kiddies are the Misses Mary Bennon, Florence Knablin, Hazel Dave, Helen Fitzgerald, Alice McLellann, lad BEia.

LIFE OF GEJO IN JAPANIS IS ONE
 OF DRUDGERY

The servant girl problem is a vex- alton to the Japanese housewife, es- pecially those who live in the neigh borhood of factories, just as it is here, though not for the same reason.
 The gejo, or domestic servant in Japan, receives two or three sen a month. A sen is fifty cents in Anaeri- can money so the ordinary Japanese servant girl earns but $1 or $1.50 a month, besides her living; she eats what the family leaves. Of late years some domestics have been receiving as high as five yen, or $2.50 a month. Factory wages are much higher-av- eraging S4.67 a month-and the gejo is easily tempted to go into the more lucrative calling.
 Her hours at the factory are only twelve a day-quite short in com parison with the hours most of them serve as domestics. As result Mrs Cherry Blossom must trot around to the nearest employment agency. or whatever Japan has as an analogue to our institution, quite frequently. It has been almost as difficult for Christian missionaries to get access to the gejo of Japan as it has been to reach the factory girls. Neither of them have any time to study or take thought of religious matters. What ever minutes she can gain are spent in rest or recreation, often in carous- ing among the factory employees.
 It is hoped by the leaders of the Nationwide Campaign of the Epis- copa1 Church. which is an undertak- ing to awaken it's mem bership to a sense of it's great after-the-war duties and raise men and money to expand it's undertakings, will be able to carry the Christian message to many of the gejo.
 It is only in the home of the we'll to-do Japanese families that the gejo is found-that is, where her duties are not complicated by that of the Komori, or baby-tender. The latter is usually a girl under fifteen while the gejo is above that age. The we'll to-do have both gejo and komoro.
 The duties of the geJo are to do the cooking, washing, serving, house cleaning, etc., from 5 or o'clock in the morning until 10 or II o'clock at night. She rises before anyone else in the house and goes to bed after all the others have retired. The latter is often made necessary because there is TO place for her to sleep until the others have gone to bed. Then she spreads a futon, or sort of quilt on which all the Japanese sleep, on the cor of the entrance hall. Of recent years a special room for the gejo is being provided in the homes of the richer persons in the larger cities. Her waking hours are spent mostly in the smoky, dingy kitchen.
 The drudgery and monotony of her life leave her neither opportunities nor desire for mental improvement. With out education in the majority of cases, she cannot read or write and she is influenced by the culture and

 Get from any druggist 211a. ounces of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle. and fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as desired. The result is full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spells.
