The state Of Florida has cause for

The state of Florida is replete with

When can an American family afford
ito keep a maidy
In these days of universal economy
or need of economy-thar Is a pertinent
question which every business-like house
wife must ask herself before she de-
cides that she must have nelp with the
work.
AS a business proposition keeping a
maid is a luxury for the very few--an
extravaganza for all families who could
not freely and frankly be classed as
rich
Modern economists have figured the
actual money cost of keeping n maid
thus:
wages-at So per week. for a
month ..-.--..---.-....... $4,000
isoom-at So per week for
month 1900
Board--at 81 per week. for
month 1910
Depreciation (waste. breakage,
etc.) per month ....... $50
$500
At his estimate the cost of maintaining
maid for single year amounts Z,
$c43.20. Yet many families with an In
come of $1,000 a year think they can
afford. that their social position demands
they keep a maid"
In addition to the bare nving costs es-
gifts and vacations to the maid. to care
and loss of time during her possible ILL

Is not the end Of all things. After
death comes resurrection and the day
OF judgment, and with judgment day
eternity has dawned.
The soul Of each individual is
weighed and judgment is passed over
1t at the moment of death, and all
souls are Immediately dispatched to
their respective eternal abode. Luke

Since this Is true, since each sou
has been judged at the moment OF
death, what then is the purpose of the
day OF judgment?
This question Is the theme for Sun

two airplanes on the ground and two
rival camps OF British aviation experts
hurrying to put the machines in work
transatlantic flight took on the ap-

Martinsyde airplane which arrived
yesterday. was unpacked and mechan-
les began assembling it on the shore
Of Quidi Vidi lake. Major C. W. F.
Morgan and Lieutenant F. P. Rayn-

have 1t ready for a trial flight within
three days.
The Sopwith airplane. which Pilot
Harry G. Hawker and Lieutenant
Commander Mackenzie Grieve are
tuning up, is considered virtually
ready for a start but the soft condi-
ton of the flying field probably will
make it impracticable for them to get
away before Monday,
