Things Are
Changing

A CCORDING to business men
~ established in the Orient,
that portion of the world is
not now the paradise for women
stenographers it once was. Weather,
banking exchange and the growing
number of Eurasians are blamed.
Time was when a stenographic ioh
in an office in the Orient was a
sure source for a good income and
almost sure stepping store to
welded bliss with prosperous
merchant, planter or agent.
Now things are changing. 1t is
not that American or Canadian
stenographers are less attractive
or efficient. II is that the conf
mercial sense of white men In the
Orient has stepped in and blo2kei
the path to sentiment. Half-caste
girls, clever and sufficiently attrac-
tive to adorn an office, are being
turned out of business colleges in
the big centers as stenographers.
Though as rule perhaps not as
trustworthy as white stenographers.
they are yet sufficiently skilled to
do large proportion of routine
work.
AS they are acclimated and are
willing and eager to work at
salary two-thirds less than would
attract a white stenographer 70
the Orient, they are rapidly filling
the offices. In the case Of office
clerks there also is little field be-
cause the business men have found
that 1t is hard to get a more care
full, painstaking and thorough de-
tail worker than the Chinaman.

Women Doctors
Called Failures

The nrst rebuff women have ex-
poricnced in their struggle for
equality with men in the medical
schools Is causing much conster-
nation in feminine circles. At n re-
cent meeting OF the authorities Of
the London University College IL
was decided to limit the number OF
women admitted to the medical
school. II was said that women doc
tors have proved a failure.

Meningitis
a Menace
By Brice Belden, M. D.

n n ENINGITIs IL one OF the most
N dangerous Of children's dis
AVA eases. 1t is very often fatal
and the most deplorable phase OF
the infection is its effect upon the
physical and mental condition OF
many Of those children who hap
pen to escape from 1t alive.
The disease called meningitis
affects the nervous system. inflam-
ing the membranes which cover the
brain and spinal cord. Meningitis
may be caused by various kinds OF
infection. but usually results from
an infection of the head or some
part near the head-such as the
ear or nose. This infection may
come directly through some injury
or may Re the result of previous
trouble, such as pneumonia cry
sipelas or an infected eczema
When meningitis Is beginning
the symptoms are not OF so pro-
nounced a character as little later
in the disease. The first signs are
likely to be high fever with severe
headache and vomiting. Later on
tne symptoms WHICH ATIbc lioih shS
infection of the brain centers Will
appear. The typical symptoms at
this stage are delirium, stiffness OF
the neck and convulsions. The pa
tient may then become more or less
unconscious and occasionally cry
out.
Most cases Of this terrible disease
are fatal, and there is large
chance of those who do recover
from the actual infection having
their brains damaged in such a way
as to leave them blind or deaf. In
some cases a child may be left an
idiot and might better have died
while the infection was at its height
A still more fatal Infection Is
tuberculosis meningitis, which Is
disease of very young children as a
rule. 1t usually causes death In
from two to three weeks and 1t acts
very much in the same way as the
other forms of meningitis. There
have been some cases even OF this
more malignant form OF the disease
cured by the puncture of the lower
spine.

CORN SAUTE.

Put a generous amount Of butter
in a saute pan, or a chafing dish.
Next shave a fresh, crisp, green
sweet pepper. Then add the corn
cut from six or eight ears of sweet
corn. Season well with salt and
pepper and stir the corn through
the melted butter and then cover
tightly and place where it will cook
but NOT BURN. The time neces-
sary to cook corn Is not over five
minutes. and as soon as the corn
has been on the fire five minutes
II should be stirred again, and IL

ute or two. Corn cooked in this
way is very delicate and retains tho

Advice to LOVelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

this and see IL we can keep tho
men from telling of their great
love for a girl when in reality 1t
Is only puppy love. think the
girls will welcome something on
this subject. ZELDA.
You have peculiar way OF de-
scribing the time girl spends In
the society Of the man she loves.
II a girl loves a man. is she
wasting time on him?"
A girl always knows when a
man really loves her. so l can't see
that she Is taking any chances in
telling him that she loves him.
Almost any man knows when a
woman loves him. and he likes to
hear her say so just once. any
way. Every woman likes to hear
and expects to hear the confession
Of love on the part OF the man
who really loves her. Why should
she be a receiver and not q giver
You are either fortunate or un-
fortunate In having listened to so
many declarations of love. Only
time will tell. i wonder what you
do to draw out these silly con-
fessions.
GIVE 'EM ANOTHER CHANCE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
We are two girls twenty years
old. About six months ago we met
two young men. and have been
going with them ever since. Re-
Gently we had an engagement with
them and when they came we found
that they were intoxicated. OF
course, we Immediately sent them
away. Since then they have called
on the phone twice, but we were
not at home, and we have seen
them downtown twice. They seem
quite anxious to make up, but we
are undecided as to what to do.
We are quite fond OF these young
men, in friendly way, and would
appreciate 1t immensely IL you
would advise us at your earliest
convenience as to what to do.
S. and L.
The young men probably have
learned their lesson. If they are
worth it, give them another chance.
