The Eight.Hour Plan
in Readers Eyes

II Solomon were living he might
not have hard time with the eight
hour day for servants. But in this
day of zone wife for one man.
which means one pair of hands for
all the work of the house, the eight
hour working day in the home is in
deed complex,
The eight hour working day will
mean a six hour business day, for
homes must necessarily have service
hours that overlap business hours.
The servant girl problem is mans
problem. Any woman who brings
children into the world and cares
for them is certainly not dependent
on a servant for her actual needs.
Nor would you. ever see her at any
time of life standing in line in front
of the Sunday Breakfast Associa-
ton doors awaiting its benefactions
Of food!
Notwithstanding servants know
more of the infelicities of marriage
than any other class of workers and
demand shorter hours with more pay
they generally are most eager for
marriage.

START THIS STORY TODAY

A FTER any argument or misunder-
n standing with Scott. Ruth always
felt queer and constrained the next
morning. Her first waking thoughts
had that dullpess about them that al
ways indicates something that has hap
pened, but that cannot be recalled lust
at first. Then remembrance rushes
over the consciousness and it is diff
cult to proceed. The morning after the
argument about cards Ruth awakened
Just that way. She did not remember
just at first, and, as usual. she jumped
out of bed, leaned down to tuck the
covers about Scott so that he might
get little more sleep before 1t was
time to wake him, and was just about
to kiss him softly on the top of his
tousled head when she remembered.

up with the demands Of these days Of
progressive civilization.
The following prev figures show
that the servant problem is not so far
reaching after all as many persons sup
pose. The homes with even one serv-
ant have been reduced to some 8 per
cent of the total number of homes.
Enlisted men learned during their
military service many things about
home work, so they will be more help
full and considerate than ever before.
They will insist that their sons, as well
as daughters, be taught to walt on
themselves and their mother, which is
right. Many men will do housework be-
cause it is better paying, with its three
meals and lodging, than an occupation.
Mother Does All the Work
Investigating the United States re-
ports on occupations and apportioning
all the servants and cooks listed, it is
found that in 93h per cent ofiAmeri-
can homes no servants are employed.
OF nearly II .OOO. 900 families in the
United States only 900 900 can afford
to keep servants. This is conserva-
tive estimate, since some fortunate (or
unfortunately housewives employ two
or more servants. Probably where live

Caus ]. of Teeth S aims
and Germs the Remedy

1t is not generally known, outside
Of the dental profession, that on all
teeth are. thin, transparent films OF
nplaques," which dentifrices are in
capable of erasing. This accounts
for the obstinacy of most teeth
stains, for when these films become
discolored from any cause, the most
persistent brushing has little if any
effect con them. This also accounts
for millions Of teeth germs. the sur.
faces underneath the films providing
such fruitful breeding places.
In the light of these facts, eonsid-
cradle Importance must be attached
to the discovery by prominent den
list of a combination of substances
which completely and quickly re-
moves these discolored films. The
product which he evolved, known as
"Once-a- Week Tooth Polish" not
only is entirely non.injurious to the
enamel, but is remarkably potent in
preserving teeth and preventing de-
cay. If one will procure a package
Of this from the druggist and use a
little on tooth brush once a week
the disagreeable stains will not re-
turn, tartar will not form, germs will
not attack the enamel This infor-
nation will prove invaluable to every
one desirous of owning really clean,
white, beautiful teeth. Parents
should see that their children use
this product regularly.

BOYS FIND
STOLEN SHOES
Quintette of Skaters Bring Sack Full
to Police Station-officers
Praise Them for
Honesty.

Five Keokuk boys made rich find
yesterday while skating and today are
receiving the thanks of the police and
commentator from all of the officers
for the manly way in which they
acted.
The boys found a sack of shoes
that evidently had been stolen out of
a freight car Saturday night and had
been hidden in a rock ledge in the
quarry at Cedar street. There is a
pond here where the boys skate, and
yesterday morning they saw the sack
and investigated. There were twenty
five pairs OF shoes and one extra shoe
They called up the police station,
and said they would bring the shoes
up. This they did right after dinner
Those boys deserve lot of credit"
Chief Henneman said this morning
"and I'd like to thank them and their
parents too"
The sack was not wet, so the police
are inclined to believe that the shoes
were stolen Saturday night and had
just been hidden there.
The boys are Howard Barnes, Ed
ward Redmon, Harold Gallagher, Bon
ney Cluse and Ernest Gale.
