Time May Come When She Must Support Herself. The Bookkeeper. Whenever I read articles written by business women wherein the writer certifies her intention to keep her daughter out of work by which the mother has supported the family, I think of a melancholy example of the folly of such practice which once came to my notice. A woman, left a widow with two small children, nobly set to work, and by increasing effort succeeded in educating them and keeping them in what she called "their proper social circle." The daughter was Bent to a select private school, and after her school days were over, returned home to pass her days in "elegant leisure" until the time came when she fulfilled her own and her mother's dearest ambi tion by marrying a man of "excel lent social position." The mother was quite as delighted as the daugh ter over the match until Fate, who has a scurvy way of turning Joy in to sorrow, played one of her tricks upon the daughter. The man prov ed on acquaintance to be decidedly short on morals, a fact which his long pedigree scarcely served to bal ance. After a few years of married unhappiness, the young wife found herself obliged to earn her own liv ing, and in great bitterness of spirit set to work In another city to earn her living In the same manner In which her mother before her had done, only for a much less salary. -v Fine rhotos, $6.00 folder style. now $3.00 per dozen at Green's. measured Clothes. by 4 4- do for you, before SLUMS ENEMY OP BUSINESS. Germany's Commercial Gains Due to Fight on Slums. Success Magazine. The worst enemy of business is the slum. About 85 per cent of the people of this country are classed by the sociological experts as poor or very poor. Whatever tends to in crease this sum of poverty strikes in two ways at the heart of business It interferes with production. Noth ing could be worse. In the last twenty-five years Eng land and Germany have entered up on a desperate duel for the commer cial kingdom of the world. At the beginning England was everything in the international commerce and Germany was next to nothing. Now, to speak quite plainly, Germany, fighting with skill and tenacity, is the assured victor in the battle, and England is going down to defeat How did Germany manage to make such a marvelous showing in this tremendous conflict? Tne secret of Germany s success is no secret at all to those who know the relative condition of her work ing population and England's. Eng land has allowed the slum to take care of itself, and the slum has turn ed upon her and eaten out the heart of her strength. The real strength of a nation is not her banks, palaces, rich men, armaments, guns, battle ships, splendors, park lanes, royal state, pomp and circumstance; the real strength is her men that work with their hands. That is her only asset worth talking about; her phys ical condition. England has allowed her working population to deterior ate in slums; Germany has labored to abolish the slum and to rear her working population in the full meas ure of health and vigor. When the two working populations clash in the commercial battle down goes the En glish line. Big rug and drugget sale starts at Rankin Furniture Company's Satur day. Don't fail to be there. According to a dispatch sent out from Baltimore Tuesday the two powerful railroad labor organiza tions, the Order of Railway Conduc tors and the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, which have underta ken to secure a general increase of the wage scale for all employes in those branches of the service on the principal lines in the Eastern part of the United States and Canada, have suffered a serious repulse at the very beginning of their campaign for better pay.
