Italy joined In 1902 the few Euro pean states which have established laws for the better protection of wo men working in industrial occupations after confinement. This law prohib ited women from working for a month after confinement, but contained no provisions about the collecting of funds from which the expenses could be defrayed*. For this reason regu lations were generally disregarded* and women went back to work as soon as they were able to do so. At the end of April, 1912, a new law came into force. All women in indus tries between fifteen and fifty years of age belong now to an obligatory maternity insurance fund. The em ployer pays the dues of 20 to 40 cents a year, and is allowed to deduct half the amount from the wages. These dues, together with fines of employes for violation of the law and a govern ment subsidy, makes it possible to give in case of confinement $8. It does not make any difference whether the woman is married or not. Mother and child are thus taken of for at least one month after the birth of the in fant. The Italian law requires, furth er, that a factory with more than fifty women workers must provide a decent room in which mothers can at tend to their babies and nurse them. Frequently, large factories have a kind of day nursery with a trained nurse in charge. Infant mortality has been greatly reduced among Industrial workers.The Survey. TRULY TIMES HAVE CHANGED Philosopher in Puck Moralizes Over the Advancements Which the World Has Seen. The time was when you could get a woman to do all your housework and Itend to the garden and milk nine cows night and morning, and do it for two dollars a week and be glad to get the money. Where have they gone? Time was when you could get a man to cut wood for 75 cents a cord, and when a dollar a day wasn't paid to 3 pounds Mixed Candy 15c Broom for 10 lb. Baking Powder 5 lb. Baking Powder 1 lb Baking Powder IL KEEPING STORE anybody except in harvest time. Look at things now! J'~ Time was when a day's work meant to be up by candle-light doing chores and eating supper by candle-light after the evening chores was finished. And I'm talking about summernot winter. Time was when you could go to the county and get a boy to work for you for his keep. He was bound out to you till he was eighteen, and if he run away you could bring him back and lick the nonsense out'n him. If you want a boy, these days them people will ask you as many questions as if you was selling a horse. Sometimes when I look at this here country that I've give my whole life to so to speakI wonder if it's reely an' truly paid. I tell you I dimno. Puck. Telephone Three Miles in Air. A telephone exchange three miles In the air. This station, said to be the highest in the world, is in the meteorological observatory on the top of Mont Rosa in the Pennine Alps, 15,450 feet above sea level. At this elevation snow is always found, and advantage is taken of the high insulation given by dry snow, the wires in the last section, at the peak, being simply laid on the snow covered ground. To prevent breakage by glacier movements the line is carried through rings on the telephone poles. The poles are short and are taken down at the end of every summer sea son and replaced at the beginning of the following summer. Society and Solitude. As for the dispute about society and solitude, any comparison is impertin ent. It is an idling down on the plain at the base of the mountain instead of climbing steadily to its top. Of course you will be glad of all the so ciety you can get to go up with? Will you go to glory with me? is the burden of the song. It is not that we love to be alone, but that we love to soar, and when we do soar the com pany grows thinner and thinner till there is none at all. It is either the tribute on the plain, a sermon on the mount, or a very private ecstasy still higher up. Use all the society that will abet you.Thoreau. GROCERIES 6 packages Oat Meal for $1.00 3 lbs.

This is what we call "Store Service" which means not only better merchan- dise for your money than you can get elsewhere but to give you goods that are fresh, crisp and clean and this is especially true of the grocery line. We have had many compliments paid us on our grocery line and the way that we keep it. It does make us feel good to hear people say: "One thing you can say for Sehroeder's, they keep groceries, and whatever you buy there is always fresh and clean." Yes, we do spend a lot of time in fighting dirt and flies but we like good, clean fresh things to eat ourselves and we assure you that we are going to keep right on doing these things and always do our best to live up to "Good groceries always clean and fresh at Sehroeder's."

The appointment of another police Woman at Christiania now brings the feminine police force in Norway up to seven, three of v/hotn are in Chris tiania, two at Brgen, one in Stavan ger, and one in Christiansand. The special duty of the chief police woman in. Christiania, Sergeant Osen, Is to keep under surveillance girls and women suspected of living im moral lives and female beggars, while her two colleagues interrogate women tramps, and, if deserving, render them help, look after the children and see that they are kept off the street as vendors and beggars. The policewomen all perform occa sional night duty and patrol some of the worst quarters of the city. With the exception of the policewomen at Christiansand, who wear a complete official uniform, the women are dressed in plain clothes, only wearing green capes bearing a small medallion stamped with the crown and lion of Norway, to distinguish them from ordinary citizens. Filipino Food Question. In going through the Igorrote coun try it was impossible to secure pack ers who would accompany us more than a few miles from their own vil lage. Each hamlet seemed to have a standing feud with those about it. Yet my companion and I were always received with warm hospitality, in vited to sleep in the straw huts and to partake of food, says a writer in the Christian Herald. The rice and vegetables cooked by Igorrote women were appetizing enough. Roast dog was balked at, but even roasting dog smells good to a hungry man. Hun dreds of dogs are brought up from the lowlands about Dagupan by Tagalog venders and are sold to the mountain dwelling Igorrotes every year. Fat dogs are at a discount lean meat is preferred. Fifty cents to $1.50 (Mexi can currency) seemed the average price for a dog, depending on size. 31* XX G.
