A Demestic's Complaint Te the Editor et the Evening Public Ledger: Sir Having read some of the Icttcis in regard te the domestic problem, I would like te elcc iny opinion. I am a Philadelphia born and have lived in one family for niue cari, wbcre the help were treated with all kinds of con cen con fciderutlon, but death ciinie and broke up the lieme Mu-ry te t-aa, and when I went te live with another family, just the opposite in character the se-called four hundred I was net treated half as geed as the woman's dogs. These peo ple) keep a Japanese cook and pay hira a hundred dollars a month. The kitchen is se filthy that you couldn't 'cat your meals there. They expect ou te sit there In the evening when your work is done, or go up te jour room, if you might cull it by that name. The place has net been papered, I expect, for thir ty j ears, and you ere expected te use the Fame bathroom that the Jap uses. Imagine a woman calling hciiclf a lady asking her girls te de such n thing. I wonder if she would like her daughter te be pinccq in sucn a position. This sumo women gees and visits hos pitals, etc.. and talks her bead off en all social problems, but never a word about her borne, fche wants the eight -hour b.vstcm for all. She wants uplift for the weiklng girls, but nothing ever for her own help. There 1ms been enough eald about this problem ; new for action. If men like Mr. Sterk would tnke this matter up with the help of ether geed, real Americans, nn end would be put te this Mavcry, for that Is whnt it U in the real reni-e. Imagine being allowed one day in the month In town, and don't dnre te go out again unless .seu sneak away. This Is 1022 and let us hope that the peer domestic help will he put en a basis where they can stand tide by side with their mera fortunate sitters te make It n business and net a slavs trade. MARION H. VYUJilAMH, Statistics Say Four te One Against Yeu Unless you take proper precautions, the odds are four te one that you will contract Pyorrhea before or after you pass the age of forty. Something te think about, isn't it? There are two things you can de: play the long shot and pay the probable penalty, or set about in a sensible manner te insure your teeth. Pyorrhea has cost many an individual his teeth and health. It starts with tender, bleeding gums. That is the danger signal you should be quick te heed. Ignore it and Pyorrhea does its deadly work in a hurry. The gums recede, the teeth loosen and drop out or must be pulled. Pus pockets form at the roots of the teeth and disease germs swarm throughout the system. Yeu must net let Pyorrhea gain headway in your mouth. At the first warning, see your dentist and start using Portion's Fer the Gums at once. Ferhan's Fer the Gums is the formula of R. J. Ferhan, D. D. S. If used consistently and used in time it will pre vent Pyorrhea or check its course. Don't wait a day longer. Step at your druggist's et once, buy a tube of Ferhan'a and start using it today. Brush your teeth with Ferhan'a regularly. It is an excellent dentifrice and will keep your teeth and mouth in perfect health. Four out of five wait tee long. Don't be one of them. 3 Sc and 60c at all druggists. farasfe tf R. J. Fnhtn. D. D. S.

The Farmer Holds the Whip-Hand at Washington Today the American farmer strangely finds himself simultaneously at the ebb-tide of his economic fortune and at the flood-tide of his political power; and it is te his poverty that he ewes the discovery and assertion of his strength. As a result of this paradox President Harding calls a great conference at Washington te devise ways te rescue our rural population from imminent disaster, and almost in the same breath pro pre tests against the domination of Congress by the agricultural bloc. News dispatches describing the desperate plight of the farmer appear side by side with ethers averring that t the farmer holds .the whip at Washington as never before in the nation's history, and that his dictation amounts te a "super-government," an "invisible empire." Senater Capper, of Kansas in his publication, Cappefs Weekly, says that "the farm ers lest three and one-half billion dollars in 1921 in crop values alone compared with 1920, or eight billion dollars compared with 1919." "Concerning the grim reality of the present crisis in agriculture there can be no difference of opinion among informed people," de clared President Harding. On the ether side of the picture we see the agricultural bloc defying the "Old Guard," and disturbing the calculations of leaders in both parties. The symbol and instrument of their power is the (famous "farm bloc," a group of Republican and Democratic Senators and Representatives who come from the agricultural sections of the West and. Seuth, and who are said te held the balance of power in Congress. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, February 4th, under the heading "The Farmer's Need and the Farmer's Power," presents in an illuminating way all phases of this subject, which is occupying se much attention.
