' There Is and has bteii considerable difficulty In se. cuiluc Mitisfactory domestic servants The need of responsible employment Uurcaus Is felt from time to time, but the department has hesitated to en tuuraue anything along that line on account ef the great opportunity, for fraud.

The cost ot living also shows an Increase, but It is believed that this. Is the result the Increased Cost of doing business deliveries, etc., and the fact that there are constantly being dde numbers of hands through which th commoditii must pass between pro ducer and consumer. It la probaul that the standard of living is beln raised among the wage-earngrs, which would account in some meas ure for the Increase In cost.
