HOUSEMAIDS TO

Organize Union for Avowed Pur
pose of Bringing Mistresses
to Terms.
TO TRAIN EMPLOYERS
Plan to Enforce Their Demands by
Wearing on Nerves cf Individual
Mistresses Lazy Glrlo Are
Especially Desired.
Denver. Colo. Twelve dollars n
week nnd no work on Sundays, short
er hours and belter trentment are
somo of tho things the Housemaids'
union of Denver demands for Its mem
bers. "We havo tho bulge on tho rich
women of Denver becauso they won't
wash their own clothes. Wo enn rule
tho women of Cnpltol Hill through this
falling of theirs," tho girls decided.
Plans to whip their mistresses Into
lino through thnlr fllsllko of grensy
dish water wcro made durlnc the meet
ing. Tho new union will call no gcnoral
strike Its membera will wear on
tho nerves of tho Individual employer
until she comes to terms.

Tho women of Capitol Hill nro to
bo trained In tho way they should go.
Maids who leavo their Jobs onco a
wcok, servo meals late, tnko no back
talk and demand tho privileges for
which they havo been nsklng In vain,
nro going to do the training.
In order to carry out this plan of
campaign many maids for mlMressoB
who nro being "trained" will rent n
house where thoy can llvo between
Jobs. The now cook or second girl
will never nrrlvo nt her employer's
homo with her trunk after this. Sho

Lazy Girls Are Wanted.
Employers will not bo able to get
maids who aro out of work to como
to them by putting an advertisement
In tho paper promising "excellent
wnges" when sho oxpectB to pay threo
dollars a week. Maldn won't havo to
run up telephono bills and pay faro
finding out how undcsirnbln ono may
bo an a mistress. All this Information
will bo neatly filed away on a card.
No girl will bo kept out of tho
union becnuBO Bho is lazy or incompe
tent. In fact, largo numbers of lazy
girls aro especially desired as mem
bers, tho hotter to train tho mistresses
of Denver into an understanding of
their proper placo.

"Well, I haven't seen him nt his us

"Thnt doesn't provo anything. Tho

EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things of Value.
Whero ono has never mado tbe ex
periment of leaving off coffoo and
drinking Postum, It Ib etlll easy to
learn something about It by reading
tho experiences of others.
Drinking PoBtum Is a pleasant way
out of coffeo troubles. A Penn. man
says:
"My wlfo was a victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap
potlto for years; and although wo ro-
sorted to numorous methods for re
lief, ono of which was a chango from
coffoo to tea, it was all to no purpoBO.
'"Wo know coffeo was causing the
troublo but could not find anything to
tako Its placo until wo tried Postum.
Within two weeks after sho quit coffeo
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared aB If by
magic. It was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou
blo relieved, nppetlto Improved and,
abovo all, a nlgbt'B rest was complcto
and refreshing.
"This sounds Ilko an exaggeration,
aa It all happened so quickly. Each
day thoro was Improvement, for tho
PoBtum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing ber. Every particle of this good
work la duo to drinking Postum In
place of coffee." Nnmo given by Pos
tum Co., Dattle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes In two forms:
Postum Cereal tho original form
must bo well boiled, lCc and 25c pkgB.
Instant Postum a Bolublo powder
dissolves quickly In a cup of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverago Instantly. 30c
and COc tins.
Doth forms nro equally delicious
and coBt about tho samo per cup.
"Thoro's a Reason" for Postum.
