C., January 21, 1913.—There is today in the City of Washington in active operation an army whose exploits attract little no tice, but whose members are doing a very large “bit” toward winning the war for America—an army of steno graphers and typists, twelve thous and strong, recruited from every State in the Union. A majority of these soldiers of the notebook and typewriter are girls. Day in and day out their nimble fingers faithfully click out the tremendous volume of correspondence and records required by a great nation at war. They wear no badge nor uniform; their work is all work and has no thrill no romance; but the United States could not stay in the war a month without them. The rapidly expanding departments of the Government in Washington em ploy stenographers and typists with a greed that seems insatiable. The United States Civil Service Commis sion estimates that there will be twenty thousand Government em ployees of this class in Washington at the end of this year. Owing to the general demand the Commission is finding it a difficult task to meet the calls of the departments. Examina tions are held every Tuesday in 450 cities, and the Commission states that an examination will be held in any city at any time, day or night, when there is prospect of assembling a class of three or four competitors. Eligi bility may be obtained through passing an examination in practical tests in shorthand and typewriting. It is practicable to complete such an ex amination in one hour. Representa tives of the Civil Service Commission at the post offices in all cities are furnishing definite information to persons interested. HAPPY WOMEN. Plenty of Them in O’Neill, and Good Reason For It. Wouldn’t any woman be happy, After years of backache suffering, Days of misery, nights of unrest, The distress of urinary troubles, When she finds freedom. Many readers will profit by the fol lowing. Mrs. Bowen, O’Neill, says: “I was having a terrible backache and the dull, heavy pain was so steady it seemed to wear me all out. I couldn’t get much rest at night and it was all I could do to keep at my work. Many days I had a severe pain in the back of my head. My kidneys acted ir regularly and showed they were out of order in other ways. Doan’s Kidney Pills completely relieved me, so I am glad to tell others about them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Bowen had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Liberty Association Provides Books for Fighting Forces More than half a million bocks al ready have been furnished soldiers and sailors in training camps and in France by the American Library As socitaion War Service and the flow is steadily increasing, according to the director of this work. A campaign for funds inaugurated by the association last autumn netted nore than $1,500,000 and real results in the tangible shape of books and comfortable libraries are being felt by the soldiers and sailors. The Carne gie Corporation gave $320,000 for the erection of camp libraries. Nearly all camps now have libraries and in the others the buildings are in course of construction. The reading rooms each accommodate 250 men. For the men in France the associa tion has organized distributing sta tions at all points of embarkation, where books are* assorted for ship ment abroad. Soon every soldier who steps on a transport will crary a book with him, which he and his com panions will read on the way across, after which it will be forwarded to the men back of the trenches. No attempt will be made to establish libraries in France, But the association will have representatives there to supervise the work of distribution.
