The Business Girl and Matr1mony-1.
A young woman who draws down q
fat sa airy as the head of department.
store in which she works, writes me
that 1 am mistaken when 1 say that
the business world is the happy hunt
Ing ground for a girl who wishes to
capture a husband.
In proof whereof she asserts that
she would like to marry if she could
find tte intelligent, successful, broad
minded, noble, chivalrous sort of
man she desires for husband But
she has never yet met just the man
who came up to her ideal, and who
was worth giving up her job for.
The men who have popped the
question to her have all been poor
fish, each with some fatal defect.
Some of them couldn't make as much
money as she does. Others were con-
ceited asses. Others had the morals
of alley cats. Still others were vain
weaklings who had to be perpetually
jollied and flattered.
She says she wouldn't take one of
these men as a gift. Still, she wants
to get married, and she knows plenty
of other young women in her own fix.
They are good looking, clever, capable,
holding fine positions that they would
like to swap off for a home with the
right man, but it seems to them that
all the desirable husbands they meet
have already been taken by some pre-
vious lady. Also, that men look upon
an efficient business woman with the
instead of the eye of sentiment.
Therefore she thinks that the society
girl has better chance to marry
than the business girl.
Wrong. 1t may be true that not
every woman who starts out on the
husband chase makes her kill. but it is
indisputable that the one who hunts
whore the hunting is good, and the
game plentiful, has better chance
Of luck, than she who stalks her prey
in barren pastures where seldom a
dear roams save those who are
protected by either the old age limit
or the baby act.
The girl in business is in the one
place where men most abound. She
is thrown daily and hourly into close
association with them, and if she has
any charm to cenjure with she has the
best place in the world to work it.
Moreover she has this great advant-
age. She has the man off his guard. In
society a man knows that he is pur-
sued, and 1t is up to him to be foxy
enough to make a getaway, if he can.
In business, he falsely magines him.
self safe. and keeps no watch for the
pitfalls that may be laid for him.
That business is the first aid to
matrimony, and the fatal handicap to
woman's success in commercial life
Is a matter of common knowledge.
The managers of the telephone COM
pany, and big dry goods stores all
unite in saying that Cupid keeps their
forces perpetually crippled, and bust
ness men hesitate to advance clever
and capable young women to positions
their merits entitle them to, because
about the time they become indispens-
able they up and marry and leave One
big corporation will not employ awo-
man under forty because that age
makes a sort of dividing line between
those who are pretty sure to marry,
and those who probably won't

Sharp bargainers arc those Ger
mans. Under the reparation agree
ment the Germans are sending some
of their dirtiest coal to France. 1t
is understood that the terms OF agree
ment with Germany specified only
"coal" and did not distinguish quality.
The French, under this harassing sit
uation, have been forced to buy the
better quality of British coal to mix
with the German coal in order to
burn it, while the Germans them
selves are importing large quantities
of British coal into Hamburg. 1t

GOOD HEALTH WEEK

Better and more abundant health for
men, women and children of the United
States.
Better sanitation and better ventila-
tion in homes. schools and workshops.
Telling the lnyman what he can do to
bring about more healthful living con-
sditions both for the individual and for
the community.
This is the three-fold purpose of
Good Health Week and Of its nation
wide observance scheduled for the
week of October 1890.
Prominent business men are back
of this. movement. Impressed with
the importance of health from the
cold business standpoint of increased
earning power, the reduction of time
lost because of sickness, and the
greater. efficiency of the healthy,
happy worker. they are Joining hands
with the medical profession and with
health authorities in a determined,
well organized educational campaign
to spread health knowledge and bring
1t home to the people. They believe
that education is much. more effective
than legislation in creating a demand
for the, things which make fer health
and that the prevention of disease is
far better than it's cure, and much
cheaper.
This movement is not a medical
one. however, although the executive
committee will be assisted in outlin-
ing the campaign by an advisory COM
mittee of twenty-five prominent ply
sicians, professional, and business men
to whom the policy of the campaign
will be submitted for suggestions.
But the business men are convinced
that while there are certain problems
in the public health field that should
be left entirely to the medical profess
sion, there are others which lie dis
tinctIy within the province of the lay
man. n Cooperation of civic clubs,
womenss clubs, newspapers, trade
journals, magazines, and other med
tums of publicity is also being sought.
Emphasis will be laid on keeping
well people well rather than curing
sick people, and to this end the cam
paign of education will be conducted
along three general lines which are
closely identife ed with health and
which represent universal everyday
needs. These three general lines are
Ventilation, Sanitation, and Personal
Hygiene. Experts and others well in
foruned along these lines know many
sirnple truths about their relation to
both public and private health The

The, report that the Turks started

"The idea that the burning of

advanced by certain foreign news

ing which justifies this belief and on
the contrary such a possibility is con-
sidered quite unlikely, II is only nat

Marion, ILL.,, Sept. 1S.--With the
today Of the special grand
jury investigating the Eerrin mine
killings last June. after a ten-day re-
cess, reports were current, around the
Williamson county court house that
the grand Jury will have voted ap-
proximately 100 indictments for muir.
der, rioting and conspiracy to commit
murder before it finishes Its work,
which it is expected to do the latter
part OF the week.
Before recessing, the jury voted
seventy-two true bills, and it was ru-
mored that about thirty additional
indictments would be returned this
week. Twenty-six of the indicted men
have either surrendered voluntarily or
have been arrested, all are lodged in
the county Jail here, leaving only
twelve at liberty, some of whom are
believed by authorities to have fled
the county before the grand jury con-
vened.
Fear Detective Indicted.
All of the prisoners have been warned
by attorneys for the u. M. w. A. not
to discuss the case, even among them
selves. giving rise to a supposftion that
the defense lawyers fear q detective
has been indicted so as to obtain evil
dence for the prosecution.
During the recess the prosecutors
worked diligently preparing their evil
dence and data and issuing calls for
witness while Sheriff Melvin Thsxton
was busy with a force of deputies
searching for the indicted men not in
custody.
Not all phases of the mine war are
to be Investigated by the special grand
jury which is expected to deal only
with the more serious incidents, such
as murder, rioting and conspiracy to
commit murder For the lesser Of
fenses such as larceny, etc, the resu-
lar grand jury. which meets Septem-
ber 25, is expected to take action.
Special Assistant Attorney General
Middiekauff of Illinios stated about
$50 witnesses were to be heard, and
that the killing OF the three union
miners would be. taken up before final
adjournment. which probably will be
