S.Y IT VOULO ENGENDER CONFUSION

Ollicm They Kmimi
.Not of.
Omaha women do not look with fnvor upon
tho plan advocated by Mrs. Kmmons nialno
cnd.MlssJane Addams of Hull House, Chicago,
for lesionlng tho hours of domestic servants
by having th(n employed for a stipulated
number of hours each day. Housekeepers
who havo torvants arc confident that the
adoption of such a scbeno would bring con
fusion and disorder in Its train, and, llko
Hamlet, they prefer to bear the Ills they
liavo, rather than fly to others that they
inow not of.
Mrs. lllalno and those who share her
opinion bold that the present system of
domestic servants Is wrong, In that It does
not allow the girls n suillelcnt amount of
tlmo for self-culture, and recreation, and
they atttlbulo the almost universal scarcity
of servant girls to tho fact that ambitious
ii ml progressive women prefer the shop or
tho factory solely because In those nvora
tlons they hne more tlmo to spend as they
ohoose. Mrs lllalne apparently has In
mind the old adage, "A woman's work Is
never done," and sho proposes to limit their
working hours, so that rollablo women cnay
make houtework n profession and still have
a portion of the day that Is their own. Mrs.
lllalne may be aide to carry out this plan
uccecsfully, but the majority of the Omaha
women say "It Is absurd." They point out
that to carry out such .1 plan successfully
It would be necessary either to have two
JKtB of servants or to pay tho regular help
xtra wages for everv hour they instil In tho
liouso beyond the number ugreed upon,
thereby Increasing tho expense In both cases
find lessening the net wages of the girls, who
would then bo obliged to provide their own
rooms, pay street car far nnd tho hundred
other little Incidental expenses which thoy
lo not havo under the existing conditions.
"Imagine," said uno of tho city's rop
rcscntatlvo women, who speaks from yeans of
experience, us tho mistress of a most
elegantly appointed home, "Imagine, dou
bling ono'fl troubles by having two sets of
servants. Why, one act is tiito lis much
us tho average woman Is capublu of cnauug
ing. Suppose 1 were to have one set of
servants cover thai period which Include
breakfast and luncheon, whllo tho second
net came on for the afternoon nnd dinner
work, can you Imaglno the state of affairs
nt tho end of tho third day? How could I
ndjust tho blamo when Janu of the morning
-ct Insisted thai the faull was entirely with
nulo of tho afternoon, whllo Annie was
equally posltlvo that tho blame Justly be
longed to Jane? I bcllcvo It could only re
nult In confusion nnd misunderstanding In
every department of my home.
Mrs. Draper Smith applies to tho Holutlon
of this question one of tho principles of tin
Woman's club, of which she Is president
Justice. "It would hardly be practiced."
nald Mrs. Smith, "considering tho plan from
the standpoint of tho girl or her employer.
l-'oi a woman working only a portion of tho
lay would bo compelled not only to provldo
Jicr own lodging, but also at least one meal.
This would bo an extra expense which sho
does not havn to meet under tho present
nrrangoment and with her wages decreased
to correspond with her hours of work, she
cculd not afford as comfortable a room or
ns good a meal as now. And then would It
not bo demoralizing? Would women, and
especially girls, Improve these leisure hours
when removed from tho rcstralnng inllueti-o
of her employer's homo? I fear they would
not nt first. I bellevo In educating women
to tho position they nro to fill. Kducato
them to govern themselves, appeal to their
rclf-respect nnd you will obtain tho holt
results of which tho girl Is capable. Con
rlderlng tho extra oxpenso of her lodging
nnd menls and tho ponslblo demoralizing ef
fect of her lelsuro hours Is not tho average
Klrl better off aa sho Is now? With a prcp.T
Interest In her work nnd a sftytematlu ar
rangement of It would not tho two afternoons
nnd two evenings allowed her each week be
milllclent time for outsldo rocreatlon? Mrs.
lllalno's plan might In tlmo bo brought Into
Micco.'Bful oporatlon, though I think Its suc
cess would depend largely upon tho serv
ant." Another well known woman, referring to a
recent plcturo In ono of the Illustrated pa
llors, Knowing tho Mlalno plan In operation,
raid tbat tho possibility of Mich a reality
entirely overshadowed tho amusing side of
It. Tho plcturo showed tho servants of fet
No. 1 departing at the expiration of their
stipulated time, regarding of the dinner
juirty shortly to occur and tho fact that only
Susie, nn under maid of shift No. 2, had
materialized.
Mix. Kdward Cudahy had llttlo tlmo to
(xpress her opinion, but was very posi
tive that sho would not caro to Intro
duce this system Into her own home, ns It
would necessitate two sets of servants to
do what one set now suceosHfully accom
plishes. Sho was also confident, that such,
a stop would result In numerous compllca
1lon, nnd would of necessity maWo addi
tional confusion and expense.
"I cannot poo," nld Mih. Henry W. Yates,
"how Mrs. DlalneV plan could bo foislblo,
FOR WKU. PKOPLti.
An IJnsy Wny to Keep Well,
It Is easy to keep well If we would only
observo each day a few simple rules of
health. .
Tho all Important thing Is" to keep the
Etomnch right and to do this It Is not no.-es-sary
to diet or to follow a set rulo or bill
of fttre. Such pampering simply makes a
capricious appetite) nnd a feeling that certain
favorite articles of food must bo avoided.
Prof. Wlcchold gives pretty good ndvlco
on this subject. He says: "I am 08 years
old nnd havo never had a serious Illness,
nnd nt tho samo tlmo my llfp has been
largely nn Indoor one, but I early discovered
that the wny to keep healthy was to keep a
healthy stomach, not by eating bran crack
ers or dieting of any sort; on tho contrary.
1 nlways eat what my appetite craves, but
for the past eight ye.irs I havo mado It a
dally practice to tako one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal and I
nttrlbuto my robust heulth for a mnn of my
Ago to tho regular dally use of Stuart's
Tablets.
"My physician first advised me to uso
them, because ho said they wore perfectly
harmless and were not a secret potent mod
Iclne, but ccntalntM only the natural diges
tives, pcptoiifH and diastase, and after using
them a few weeks I havo never ceased to
thank hint for his advice.
"I, honestly believe the Inblt of taking
Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is
the roal health habit, because their use
brings health to tho sick and tilling and pre
serves health to the well unit strong."
.Men and women past fifty years of ago
need a safe digestive after moiU to Insuro
n perfect digestion and to ward off disease.
nd tho safest, btst known und moil dely
used Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found In every well regulated
household from Maine to California and In
Oroat llrltaln and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way Into popular favor.

CLERKS GET HALF-HOLIDAY

At'ternnoiiN,
Nearly ,000 employes of Jobbing homes,
freight depot) ami transfer compnuico t.i
trrdny enjoyed the Urn Saturday hnlr
holldjy of tho summer season. It has
been tho custom In several lines of Indus
try to begin tho half-holiday Indulgence on
tho first Saturday In May, and tho plan Is
being moro generally ndopted. Tho banks,
city and county buildings and several
railroad '.leadquartcrs observe tho custo-u
all tlio year around and tho ancient plea -antry
Is losing force of the bookkeeper w h i
loved base ball and foun 1 It necessary t .
attcnl tho funeral of his grandmother c.i
each succeeding Saturday.
The Initial step this year wnfl taken by
tin f night agents, who entered Into m
agreement to close promptly at 1 o'clock
on Saturday during the summer, beginning
on May 5. This decision had Its effect ou
other lines of Industry, ns tho Irsi of th.'
horseshoe nail turned tho fato of tho'bat
tle. Tho transfer companies saw their r oc
cupation taken away. On Saturday after
noons there would bo nothing to haul.
The Jcbbers llkowlso saw the futility of
doing busncss when they could not reach
their shipments. They decided to call It a
w colt's work on Saturday noon. About
forty Jobbing houses havo gone Into the
agreement.
In the local oxpress olllces tho auditor's,
treasurer's and other accounting depart
ments will close at 1 o'clock on Saturday,
and In soveral cases tho practlco Is gen
eral through the year. Whllo tho banks
tnap tholr padlocks and let their portcullises
fnll promptly at 1 o'clock on tho seventh
day, bends are still bent owir ledgers for
two hours thereafter, and happy Is tho
bank clerk who roaches ths grounds In tlmo
for the first Inning. Most of the rallroa I
heridqu.n tors also i-loso nominully at I
o.iock on Saturday, but desks must lo
cleared up before the clerks register their
time aud leave tho building.
