Rutherford *LIFE: Soldiers and Sailors Too GOOD thing, fit to push along at every c, is the eifort to bring under cifeetual reprobati cc impudence of purveyors of entertainment, in all parts of the country, who presume to exclude from their shows men who wear the unt- form of the United The ba this propensity to exclude is not very clear. We suppose our army and navy, especially the navy, never before had so high a grade of enlisted men as now. They are not, as a group, disorderly, but average better behaved than men in civil life. Wherever Federal law is effective —in the Territories and the District of Columbia—the men in uniform are pro- tected in their right to go in wherever the public pays admission. In some of the States they are not. They should be in all, The idea that Uncle Sam's livery is not respectable is one that no State can afford to tolerate. That anarchism should have a prejudice against soldiers, even such soldiers as ours, is to be e: pected, But trades-unionism ought not to have it, for it simply means a preju- inst order and law.

Bryan, chan ates. is of dice | | AT LIFE’S FRESH AIR FARM WAITING FOR THE DINNER BELL The Servant Girl Problem TIS casy to swing in a hammock, And watch the clouds roll by, And teach the cook from a cookery book How to make rose-leaf pie. 'Tis casy to sit in the parlor, And talk to a howling swell, e the girl below, with her hands in dough, Must answer the busy bell. is casy to don a shopping gown, And twist your hair in a curl, While to scour and scrub, and boil and rub, Is the fate of the hired girl. While she sweeps and cleans, and dusts the screens, And washes the windows with care, ‘Tis casy to turn an your scornful way And gaze with your haughty stare. "Tis easy to walk in the moonlight night And listen to praises sweet, While the servant swishes mountains of dishes, And weeps for her tired feet Tis easy to tell if you only would, But you say that you cannot sce Why Mary should leave such a lovely home, To work in a factory. Yellow Squealer Killcox. Can't Get Rid of Wiley HE Department of Agriculture, with Dr. Wiley active in its inside, seem: to be in an excellent condition to judge of the feelings of persons who have swallowed too much benzoate of soda in their canned goods. The objection to benzoate of soda—one objection—is that it makes foods indigestible. Dr. Wiley seems also to be indigestible. He sticks in the crop of the Department of Agri- culture. Is It HIS from the Cincinnati Enquirer: Several weeks ago the town of Fal- mouth, Ky, bad a number of cases of contagious disease, and the Mayor and other city officials’ gave orders that all residents be vaccinated. Among those vaccinated was a son of Tom Bell, and yesterday he was scized with lockjaw, and last night it was said that the youth could not recover. The development of lockjaw from vaccination is a rare occurrence. Is it? comicbooks.com
