Commissioner of Labor: Cardinal Gibbons, who writes on “The Catholic Church”; Walter Camp, the famous authority on football ; Prof. J. B. McMaster, the historian, who is the author of the article on “American Political Parties”; Professor R. *H. Thurston of Cornell University, and hundreds of others. In its long list of English contributors are to be found almost every eminent living authority in every branch of knowledge. How a Subject Is Treated. This Encyclopaedia is different from all others in that it presents, in connection with each subject, all that is to be said on that subject from every standpoint. Lvery article is there- fore an exhaustive treatise on the topic in hand. Take, for ex- ample, the article on “Napoleon Bonaparte.” This comprehen- sive study, covering 34 large two-column pages—equal to a 200-page book of ordinary size—is by j. R. Seeley, Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. It takes up Napoleon's antecedents, his family history, his rise to power, the stirring events of his life, his political influence, his ideas on government—and the article is completed by an estimate of Napoleon’s place in history and his influence on the future.

State PLAN 10 HELP - SERVANT GIRLS "English Woman Develops a Scheme to Bring the Maid and Mistress Together MAY SOLVE PROBLEM {Unions of Domestics and Their Employers Formed for Their Mutual Benefit | LONDON, Oct. 1.—The success at- | tained by the Arachne Club in training | young women of gentle birth for do- | mestic service and obtaining situations | for them where they are guaranteed | 800d pay and good treatment has led to {& still more ambitious effort to solve the eternal servant girl problem. Two | unions have been formed, one known | as the National Union of Domestic | Servants and the other styled the Na-| These are | | tional Union of Mistresses. | auite independent of each other, with | separate committees of management, | but_these committees will meet in con- | ference and form a sort of conciliation | board, where differences can be settled. | The dual scheme is the idea of Miss | Agatha Henslow, the secretary of the Arachne Club. Its purpose is to bring | together on the one hand a body of { competent servants capable of doing | good worlk and pledged fo do it, and on the other an organization of employ- ers willing to pay fair wages for such service, while according servants op- | portunities for a reasonable amount of i leisure and enjoyment. An atttempt | will be made to draw up a set of rules | which shall define the relative dutles | and obligations of both maids and mis- tresses. “As yet,” says Miss Henslow, “the rules are under discussion, but one | point we shall emphasize very strongly | —that mistresses shall have some do- | mestic training themselves. If they ! know by experience what household § | work is they will not exact unreason- able tasks of servants. Fully half the difficulties of domestic servants are caused by the ignorance of mistresses. {1 am convinced that domestic service will remain in its present unpopular position until the servants themselves combine to raise it. But iIf all good servants banded together and excluded the bad ones they could raise it. “In the case of the ladiés trained at the Arachne Club they get places with better conditions, better pay and more freedom than any other servants. If | the club can by proper training and the il adoption of buseiness methods do so ! much for ladies whom mistresses are naturally shy of employing, a union of bona fide servants should certainly be able to accomplish as much for them- selves.” —_—————— § GRAND TRUNK TO PURCHASE | THE CANADIAN ATLANTIC Official Announcement Made That the Price Will Be Sixteen Million Dollars.

From James' Yemmeisler, La Crosse, Wis.: Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me more good than anything I ever tried and I was so pleased at re- sults that I gave away several boxes to my friends, who have also had the game benefits. From Jacob K Anthony, Portmurray, New Jersey: I have taken Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re- sults. I had Dyspepsia for 6 years and had taken a great deal of medicine, but the Tablets seem to take right a hold and I feel good. I am a farmer and lime burner and I heartily recom- mend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets. From Mrs. M. K. West, Preston, Minn.; I have received surprisingly good effects from using Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets, I gave one-half of my last box to a friend who also suffered from indigestion and she had the same good results, From Mrs, Agnes K. Ralston, Cadil- lac, Mich.: I have been taking Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and I am very much better, and feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received in so short a time. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tableis are a cer- tain cure for all forms of Indigestion.
