ANOTHER TERROR.
Uplift Plan Among Girl Workers Fails
JIT ASHING TON.—Efforts to uplift the
W? business women of Washington,
25,000 of whom earn their livelihood at
service in the government depart-
ments, have received a set-back.
Some time ago it occurred to a
group of well-meaning society women
in New York that it would be nice to
uplift all these working women. About
the same time the National Civic Fed-
eration of Women began busying itself
with the women in the Washington
departments. It took on the great
bureau of engraving and printing, in
which women are employed, and pro-
ceeded to look for things that needed
to be improved.
The bureau of engraving and print-
ing is the place where the money is
made; hundreds on hundreds, of mil-
lions of dollars' worth of treasury
notes and bank notes are turned out
there every year.
When the Civic Federation of Wom-
en sent a committee to do some uplift-
ing these money manufacturing wom-
en doubted whether they really needed
any charity. They earn comfortable
livings, have their own places in so-
ciety, go to the theater, and never be-
fore thought of themselves as in need
of any uplift from the Manhattan di-
rection.
The ^ federation committee worked
away earnestly, and finally the explo-
sion came. The committee found 50
of the women in the bureau would
have to be dropped out of the service
before the moral average would be
raised to the point where contact with
the federated benefactresses could be
established at all.
That settled it. Every woman and
girl in the bureau resolved herself
into an indignation meeting. It was
what all had been expecting, they de-
clared. Those society women who
wanted to convert working women
into butterflies, of course, couldn’t un-
derstand. Why should they be ex-
pected to? They had meant well
enough, but really they could hardly
be commended for tact and diplomacy.
good health, with its blessings, must un-
derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the
question of right living with-all the term
implies. With proper knowledge of what
is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy-
ment, of contemplation and of effort may
be made to contribute to living aright.
Then the use of medicines may be dis-
pensed with to advantage, but under or-
dinary conditions in many instances a
simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu-
able if taken at the proper time and the
California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is
alike important to present the subject
truthfully and to supply the one perfect
•axative to those desiring it.
Consequently, the Company’s Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna gives general
satisfaction. To get its beneficial effects
buy the genuine, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale
by all leading druggists.
VENGEANCE.
Agricultural Experts Make Discovery
| N the midst of the throes of the
t tariff fighting and the uprisings in
Turkey and Persia, Uncle Sam’s staid
and placid department of agriculture
at Washington hurled a bombshell to
the center of the wmrld’s stage the
other day in an official bulletin on “fishy
flavor in butter.” Yes, there it is in
all its fearful portent.
For four years, according to the bul-
letin, Uncle Sam’s bureau of animal
industry sleuths have been on the
trail of the microbe which gives to
batter “a peculiar oily taste suggest-
ing mackerel or salmon.”
But they have not caught the mi-
crobe yet.
“Although there are very few ref-
erences to this subject in literature,”
announces the bulletin, “the trouble is
widely distributed.
“It is known to occur in various
parts of the United States, but is es-
pecially prevalent in the newer dairy-
ing sections of the middle west.. In
one region this trouble occurs so fre-
quently that it is spoken of among
commission men as the fishy belt.
“The immediate cause is generally
ascribed to the presence of tri-
methylamin in the butter,” continued
the experts, so the sleuths got op the
track of this and found it “not guilty.”
Next they tackled oidum nactis, and
this, too, proved an alibi. Then they
inoculated the butter with the third
suspect, bacterium lactis aerogenes,
and it, too, was proved innocent. The
bulletin finally concludes that the
cause is as about as follows, to-wit:
“Fishy flavor is caused by a slow,
spontaneous chemical change, to
which acid is essential, and which is
favored by the presence of small
amounts of oxygen. Its immediate
cause is a particular substance pro-
duced by the oxidation of one of the
combinations of the acid developed in
the ripening of the cream. The sub-
stance oxidized may be the result of
a hydrolysis of the cream.”
And here is the clifaax:
The remedy: Fishy flavor may be
prevented with certainty by making
butter from pasteurized sweet cream.
Aldrich to Quit Senate at End of Term
hTELSON W. ALDRICH, senior sena-
ll tor from Rhode Island, has an-
nounced that he will not be a candi-
Sate for re-election when his present
term ends. His fifth term as senator
9f the United States will expire March
i, 1911, and in the meantime Mr.
Aldrich hopes to see enacted a
tariff bill which wall be a credit to his
leadership and a financial bill which
*111 completely reorganize the finances
of the nation and which will consti-
tute a monument to his service in the
upper house.
The part which Mr. Aldrich is
taking in the tariff legislation is well
knowm. While the tariff bill is
under consideration, the financial leg-
islation, in charge of the national
monetary commission, is making little
apparent progress, although consider-
able work is being done by experts
employed by the commission to gather
data for its use.
Next autumn Mr. Aldrich will
make a trip through the country,
delivering a number of speeches, or
addresses, as he prefers to call them,
explaining the work of the mone-
tary commission, its plans for the re-
organization of the monetary system,
consulting with bankers and business
men and explaining his views.
Secretary Latta Startles Congressmen
HE uplift has had another backset
in Washington, they say. It comes
ibout through the remissness of As-
sistant Secretary to the President
Latta. Mr. Latta is the official mes-
senger from the White House to the
aouses of congress. He lugs up all
the messages of the president and sol-
emnly presents them when the houses
ire in session.
The first time Mr. Latta delivered a
message to the senate is an occasion
well remembered. He is about six
ind a half feet tall, and when he ap-
peared at the door of the chamber
with a bundle of documents from
President Roosevelt lie got slightly
rattled. He was duly presented and
&.e formal reception by the vice-pres-
ident came off; but Mr. Latta sudden-
ly lost his voice and had a hard time
unloading his impedimenta and the
proper formal speech. He managed to
get through it, and in time—by rea-
son, of course, of the constant prac-
tice during the Roosevelt administra-
tion—acquired a commendable non-
chalance about it.
But he never dreamed of appearing
in any other costume than the long
and dignified black frock coat of
statesmanship. It was supposed that
! garb was as necessary for him as
I the flowing robes of black which add
something to the terror with which
the supreme court judges inspire a
lawyer appearing before them for the
first time. What, therefore, was the
astonishment when he appeared the
other day in a natty sack suit and de-
livered his message with the ease of
a telegraph boy with a message?
One explanation offered is that Mr.
Latta has to make the trip so seldom
nowadays that he can’t arrange al-
ways to have the long skirted ooat
handy.
“I wonder at your allowing Hix to
marry your daughter. I thought you
v/ere mortal eenmies.”
“That’s just the reason. Now he
wall have my wife for his mother-in-
law.” _
A Boomerang.
At a small country boarding-house
sort “down in ole Virginie,” this past
summer, the girls decided to give a
dance in the town hall on the mutual
benefit plan, so to speak. Half of the
expenses of the hall, music and re-
freshments, it was planned, should be
borne by them and the other half by
the men. The fair chairman of the re-
freshment committee, in exhorting the
prospective dancers to make no mis-
take in the details agreed upon,
wrote:
“The girls will furnish the sugar
and the men will bring the lemons.”
Little Tuberculosis Among Jews.
Dr. Maurice Fishberg is authority
for the statement that the number of
deaths from tuberculosis among the
Jews is one-third that observed among
the non-Jewish population around
them and living in the same urban en-
vironment. Dr. Fishberg attributes
this remarkable vitality of the Jews,
and their immunity to sickness in gen-
eral, to the fact that they have been
for over 2,000 years dwelling in the
city and are thus able to withstand
more than their neighbors.
What Kind of an "Office.”
Once upon a time a child who was
asked on an examination paper to de-
fine a mountain range, replied: “A
large-sized cook stove.” The same
method of reasoning seems to go with
older growth. A recent examination
paper at the Sheffield Scientific school
at Yale contained the question, “What
is the office of the gastric juice?” And
the answer on one paper read: “The
stomach.”—Everybody’s Magazine.
LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink It?
A minister’s wife had quite a tussle
tvith coffee and her experience is in-
teresting. She says:
“During the two years of my train-
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, I
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn-
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
I should want a good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. It stimulated me
and I could keep awake better.
“After three or four years of coffee
drinking I became a nervous wreck
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at-
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
“After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
“I began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but I
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
“Finally I began to feel clearer head-
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
year's use of Postum I now feel like a
new woman—have not had any bilious
attacks since I left off coffee.”
“There’s a Reason.” Read “The Road
to Wellville,” in pkgs.

Who Said Them?
The golden text was “Suffer the lit-
tle children to come unto me,” and it
had been recited to the class by a
cherub on the front bench. Later in
the afternoon the teacher, in the
course of the lessons, had occasion to
refer to the text.
“Now, children,” she said, "who said
those words?” and she repeated them.
A hand went up from one of the larger
boys on the back bench, and receiving
permission to answer, he said, pointing
to the cherub: “That little feller down
there.” _
