'Why talk of unemployed womoiwvhcn house
work goes begging?" is the question: propounded
by a New York woman. She finds twogood reasons
for the unemployment of domestic servants : First
The unreasonably high wages demanded by even
the most incompetent, which makes them impos
sible for people of moderate means. Second Their
k refusal to go to the country at any price, though
plenty of good situations arc open to tliem there.
It should be the business of legislators to make
it easy as possible for any one to engage in any com
mercial undertaking, but that is not the case now,
. and tho situation will be infinitely worse when all of
the various proposed "reform" laws arc on the
statute books. The interstate trade commission
might be directed to answer inquiries of business
men in regard to the exact meaning of rust and
other legislation, for which there is much greater
need than of further legislation of a restrictive
character. That, however, might not arouse shouts
of approval from the masses, which seems to be the
only aim of the Free Trade leaders
THE HABIT OF THOROUGHNESS.
The world is well peopled with men and women
whose success is due to their economy of spare time.
One notice occasionally a newssboy, who, not con
tent to read the headlines on the first page of his
paper, scans the inside as well. He is the boy to
keep one's eye one, for he appreciates the advantage
of knowing a little more than his employment ac
tually requires.
Economy of time is a trait too rare. One wastes
hours, days, months in the aggregate, without real
izing the wrong he. does himself. One might accom
plish wonders by -utilizing tho moments that or
dinarily go to waste. Great books have been con
ceived in minds momentarily at rest from their
usual employment ; great thoughts have their birth
in these between time pauses. Clerks and mechan
ics have made successful lawyers and physicians
of themselves by utilizing evening which their
companions in office or shop let go to waste.
Keep your eye on the newsboy who reads his
paper. He has something better in stole for him
self. He has learned the value of his own time;
has already learned that the way to get something
better is to deserve something better.
The ranks of useful citizenship are well sprinkled
with former newsboys, and few of them were ever
afraid of exerting themselves to a point beyond the
mere necessities of their work. A boy on the corner
does not call the news from what he reads from the
inside pages, but he is nevertheless a better news
paper salesman for knowing what his papers have
beyond the first page.
It is the habit of thoroughness that counts, the
willingness to do a little more and be a little bet
ter than the boss demands. If you see your news
boys perusing his papers, keep your eye on him.
Give him a lift if you can, but never doubt he will
get along, whether you give him the lift or not.
He has it in him. Ashland Independent.
In a -rceeuMisousBion In tho United States Son-
ato, Mr. Gallingor stated that in tho last six years
618,000 Americans emigrated to Canada, but in tho
sumo pcripd 594,000 Canadians moved to the Unit-
ed- States, leaving Canada the gainer over us of
only 23,000, while, during 1913, over 54,000 Amor
icau.born residents of Canada gave up their resi
dence there and returned to this country. This
showing is more favorable to the United States than
has previously been claimed by some observers, but
it is based upon official Canadian figures.
According to a report issued by the London
Board of Trade, supplemented by data supplied by
trades unions, organized workers have lost nearly
$90,000,000 in wages from stoppages duo to trade
disputes during I ho past ten years. To this has to
bo added u very large amount distributed in strike
pay. Against this the net gain in wages resulting
from disputes is reported as $13,000,000. In the
same period the working classes as a whole have se
cured advances in wages estimated at $75,000,000
Of every hundred strikes or other disputes recorded
in the years under review 50 per cent, were won
by the employers, 23 per cent, by tho workers, and
the other 25 per cent, were compromised.
The Boston Transcript states that a prominent
railroad official in analyzing the agricultural pos
sibilities of New England, says that in the ten
years prior to 1910 879,499 acres of tillable land
in Now England ceased to be cultivated. Today
New England produces in the way of food probably
less than 25 per cent, of what her people consume
This means the importation of 3,C00,000 tons of food
produots into New England in one year, much of
which could have been raised here. The 879,450
acres of abandoned tillable land would have fed
800,000 cows, fattened over 350,000 head of beef,
and furnished pasturage for 2,200,000 sheep, to say
nothing of the crops that could have been raised
on these lands.
PROHIBITION AND BANKS.
Only one item of the many illustrative of the dis
astrous effects which State-wide prohibition would
have upon Kentucky is that of tho injury which it
would inflict on the banks. Hero is an impressive
tabulation of fact and estimate:
Cnpitnl stock of national bank of Kentucky. $17,090,900.00
Capital stock of .State banks and trust com
panies of Kentucky .. .. . 20,101,235.00
t
Total ... . $37,8:55,135.00
Average dividends of all banks anil trust com
panies, bised on estimate of S por cent. . . . 3.013,410 SO
Amount loaned annually on whliky and to in
dividuals and linns engaged in tho liquor
business . . . . 30,100,000.00
Interest paid annually to Kontucky bnnks on
loans in connection with tbo liquor business 1,750,000.00
According to this the amount of money received
annually by the banks of Kentucky from the
whisky industry is equivalent to about 57 per cent,
of the dividends on all tho bank stock in the State.

WONDER WHAT HE DID?
Stray bits ot conversation often sound strangely. Tho
other day the Around the Town Sinn passed two negresses.
This is the conversation he caught in passing:
"I knocked his brains out," said one
"Yes," the other one broke in. "Then what did he do,"
Just what did he do then "with his brains knocked out,"
the Around tho Town Man wondered as ho walked ou.

HELPLESS AS BABY

and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, V. Va. Mis. Anna
Belle limey, of this place, says: "1 suf
fered for 15 years wall an awful pain in
my right slue, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that 1 became down In mind, and as help
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Girdui, the woman's
tonic, and got relief from tho very first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
1 am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as I did when only 10.
Cardut ccriainly saved me from losln
niv mind, and 1 feel ft niv dutv to soea
in its favor. 1 wish I had some oower
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good It would do
them."
If you suffer from any of the" aliments
peculiar to women, it will certainly ba
worth your while to give Cardut a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardul. Your druggist sells it.
