10 WOMEN'S INTERESTS WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XXXII (Copyright, 1915, Star Company.) Jane went down the carpeted steps •wiftly, bat so softly that the pair talking in the kitchen did not hear her approach. The door leading into the. dining room was open, and as Jane reached the foot of the stairs she stopped, ar rested and startled by the shrill note of protest In the voice of the woman who was arguing with the master of the house. "What do you mean?" she was de manding. "That I'm not to eat with you any more?" "That's Just what I do mean," Au gustus returned. "But I always have," the woman de clared. "I've lived here going on twelve years, and in all that time" — "Shut up!" he ordered. "You'll do as 1 saw Now that I have a wife, I expect her to sit at my table and you'll wait on us. Understand?" "You expect me to wait on that"— the woman began. But the man's repeated order to "shut up!" interrupted her, and, fear ful of hearing more, Jane called her husband. She felt that she could not endure listening to this conversation that was certainly not meant for her ears. "Augustus!" she spoke loudly. "Shall I come right in?" As she appeared at the door of the kitchen, her husband laughed awkwardly. "Yes, romo right in," he said. "I've just been telling Mary that you want her to teach you a lot of things about cooking and so forth. Now, Mary, if everything's ready, you can bring in the supper." Jane pretended not to notice the third place laid at the table. It was evident that Mrs. Baird had been in the habit of eating with Augustus and had expected to do so now. Why need s<he change this habit just because the head of the house was married? The wife felt sorry for this woman who had done her part faithfully ever since before Reeves' first wife had died. She found herself wondering if the first Mrs. Reeves had considered herself above sitting at the table with the housekeeper. Jane was young and impressionable. Moreover, she wanted to like Mary Baird and to be liked by her. Who was she, simple Jane Hardy, tbat she should sit sttll and be waited on by a woman who was many years her sen ior and who was. possibly, as well born as she? When the sausages and cakes had been placed on the table, Jane could hold her peace no longer. "Augustus," she ventured, as Mary went back into the kitchen for the cof fee, "why not have Mrs. Baird sit down here and get her supper with us? There Is no reason why she shouldn't do it, is there?" "There Is no reason why she should," Reeves informed her. Bothered by Colds or Croup? Present Coupon to Druggist Good for One 25c.

" "But she always has, hasn't she?" the girl persisted. "And I don't want to make that difference in your home —and hers. I want to be good friends with her. She and I will have to be close together much of the time. Why not begin now? There are lots of things I want her to teach me and tell me." The man drew his brows together. "There's no reason for you and her being 'good friends,' as you call It. She's just a wocklng housekeeper! here." "But surely Mrs. Baird has a right" Her husband stopped her. "Don't you call her 'Mrs. Baird.' Jane! She's 'Mary'—understand?" A slight creak of the door warned the wile that it was being opened cautiously. She knew that the listener had heard Reeves' last sentence. Yet Jane could not warn him that he was overheard. "No—she's 'Mary,' that's what she is," he went on. "And she's here to work for us just like the men outside on the farm work for me. As for her sitting at the table with my wife—well, I'm not going to have it s —that's all. "A servant and a lady may get on comfortably together, yet they can't be what you'd call 'friends'—and I want you to remember that. A mar ried man's got to have his house run right—and 1 expect to see that mine is. After this, things are in your hands— except that, of course, I expect you to consult me and do just as 1 say." The door into the kitchen swung open wide, and Mary Baird appeared with the coffeepot. She set it down in front of Jane. "I suppose you'll want to pour this yourself," she said. "I guess that Aug—l mean—Mr. Reeves —would rather have you do it." "All right," faltered Jane. As she poured the coffee her hand trembled, and she felt that the wo man's glistening black eyes were fixed upon her. Yet, when she looked up, she found that Mary Baird was gating at Augustus Reeves with an expression that startled the young wife. She remembered the expression an hour later when she crept, shivering Into the great bed up In the huge front room. Reeves bad lingered downstairs to talk with a neighboring farmer who had stopped in to see him. "I don't know what frightens me so hideously to-night," the girl mused, her teeth chattering.? As she leaned over to blow out the candle on the table at the head of the bed, a sudden thought struck her. "I wonder," she breathed —"I won der if—if Augustus' first wife died in this bed!" With a shudder she closed her eyes tightly and pulled the covers over her head. (To be continued.) night.

(Copyright, 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.) CHAPTKH 4 Gross evils are winked at in the preparation of human food while the same kind of adulteration of cattle food Is followed by prose cution. Properly to understand the mean ing of the phrase "our daily food," we must first discover how the food faker works; what he accomplishes; why he does it, and how to put an end to his abuses. His greatest temptation to juggle with his product Is Inspired by the people themselves. The subject, of insufficient wage or Industrial Injus tice Is not going to creep Into this dis cussion, but In passing it must be said that in scanty incomes is frequently born the false standard of judgment which attributes an artificial value to "bulk," overlooking substance and quality; overlooking the industry that deals in little white caskets. In fool ish and desperate competition, which inspires fraud, this false standard is confirmed. People want a lot for their money. Women are attracted by "large" packages or "cheap" packages. The "bargain" makes an extraordinary ap peal. When the size and the price look right few questions are asked. People are prone to accept even the shape of the package as evidence that Its contents are all that they ought to be. No questions are asked as to whether its contents will feed the fires of life or whether they will slowly, insidiously, stealthily burrow Into the living temple to destroy it. To gain some trade advantage over a competitor the food faker must make his first and strongest appeal to the eye. If he can produce a "larger" product or a "prettier" prod uct or a "cheaper" product, the means by which this empty object Is accom plished is not considered. Thus begins the work of puffing, bulking, filling, extending. Then fol lows the trick of giving to the bulk product that shadow of honesty which cleverly masks it against discovery. At this point deception must be braced with added flavor, manufactured in the laboratory. The innocent and "harmless" mass is kept from rotting by the use of legalized preservatives. There are five chief evils recorded against the food faker. The first four can be named the filler evil, the color evil, the flavor evil, and the preserva tive evil. The fifth and most Insidious evil of them all, which you are not yet prepared to confront, but which will be treated In due time and in Its proper place, is responsible for ten- WAGE QUESTIONS THRESHED OUT Suggestions For Determination Submitted to the State Com- pensation Board Important action regarding ques tions which have arisen In workmen's compensation matters regarding de termination of wages were threshed out yesterday at a conference of com pensation and insurance officials. The suggestions will be considered by the board next week. At the conference were Messrs. Leech and Scott, of the State board, and F. W. Nece, of the Globe Indem nity Company, New York city; H. S. Recknagel, of the' Fidelity and Cas ualty Company, New York city; C. M. Gerhood, of the Pennsylvania Manu facturing Casualty Insurance Associa tion, Philadelphia; Thomas L«. Phillips, of the United States Fidelity and Guar antee Company, Harrisburg; Francis H. Bohlen, legal advisor to the com pensation board; Paul N. Furman; chief of the bureau of statistics; E. H. Downey, consulting actuary; Samuel I. Spyker, associate counsel, and L.ee Solomon, secretary to the compensa tion board. It was decided that the computed wages of an employe shall not include gratuities received from the employer or others. This action eliminates tips received by a waiter or porter from his wages on which compensation is based. Wages paid for overtime work in seasonal employments will be included in the wage determination. Tools or other materials furnished by the em ployer to be used by the employe may not be deducted from wages unless it is provided in the contract of employ ment that the employer shall furnish such materials and has the right to deduct the price from the wages. In coal mining where an amount is paid for egch ton of coal mined the employer is not allowed to make de ductions for powder or dynamite .sup plied workmen unless it is so provided in the contract of employment. Tf a caterer hires a waiter to serve at a banquet and supplies a dress suit to such waiter, the value of the use of that suit is not to be deducted unless it is expressly provided that men not having dress suits will be provided with them by the caterer and that a stipulated sum will be deducted from their wages for the use of said suit. A seasonal employment is defined as one periodically suspended for periods of more than four weeks because of conditions in a trade or industry. In seasonal trades the employe must show the total amount he has earned in all trades for the preceding year. A referee may require the mploye to verify such statement by word of his employers. Daily waife of an employe la as sumed as his average dally earnings during the six months preceding the accident or during the length of time he has worked for the same employer. In the event of objections to this as sumption in a continuous employment, the average daily earnings are com puted from the total earnings for twenty-six weeks and dividing the ag gregate amount by the actual number of days during which the employe worked for the same employer, exclud ing overtime. Weekly earnings are 5% times the daily earnings. Weekly earnings of an employe hired on a monthly basis are obtained by multiplying the monthly salary by 12 and dividing by 52. Compensation for a fractional part of a week Is determined per day by one-sixth of the weekly compensation for every day, including Sundays and holidays. MKS. W. O. THltrsil DIKS Special to The TelcgX.ph Pa.. Jan. 13.—Mrs. Wil liam O. Thrush died at her home. 16 South Dorcas street, yesterday morn ing. She had been ill about four weeks with an attack of grip and pneumonia, but was not thought to be seriously ill. She was 58 years old and is survived by a husband and eight children. fold—yes, a hundredfold—more mis eries than all the other evils com bined. The filler evil Is now regarded as a crime by all the State departments of agriculture where poultry food or cat tle food is concerned. As far as ship ping a food from one State into an other is concerned the federal gov ernment also recognizes the filler evil as a crime. The manufacturer who practices It is required to leave some inconspicuous telltale evidence be hind in the form of small print upon the label. In such foods as ars consumed in the State in which they are manufac tured and do not cross the State line into another' State, even this telltale evidence is not required except In a few communities, where an alert commissioner of agriculture is active. The experiment stations of nearly every State in the Union have shown to the Agricultural Department the enormity of faking cow-food and earth-food, which have been followed by many successful prosecutions, never heard of by the common people, although such prosecutions have been based on no other ground than the evil so complacently tolerated in the preparation of human foods. In other words, cattle food and fer tilizer are considered by the State and federal governments as of more Importance than human food. As we go along the reason for this will be revealed and in its proper place the remedy will be suggested. Dr. Wiley's first work, away back in 18 82, was the ejection of worth less fillers from the earth-food fer tilizers sold to farmers for replenish ing their soil with the food elements consumed by last year's crop and which therefore had to be put hack into the earth in order that there might be a crop the following year. The commercial cow-food, loaded with foodless materials like the com mercial earth-food, was found to fail utterly in the work which it was In tended to accomplish, and now, after thirty-five years of common-sense ex perience with soil, plants and animals, with thorough knowledge of the meaning and cause of soil-starvation, crop failure, and animal disease, our poor human beings persist in pooh poohing the idea of pure food for their children. Pure food for the soil; pure food for the plant: pure food for the animal; for man and his children—anything! Those who manufacture foodless foods for human beings tell us we have no constitutional right to inter fere with their industry. Education of the masses, however, will bring about the necessary change. The facts will follow in battalions.
