FOREIGN WOMAN SAYS SERVANTS SHOULDENROLL Housekeeper Declares Duties Incident to Employment Increasing. SHANGHAI, June 9.—The servant •blem has arrived in Shanghai! [embers of the American Women's Club and the British Women’s Association (having a combined membership of 1.300) nave launched a campaign to bring about a municipal registration of Chinese domestic servants to be established by the Shanghai Municipal Council. Petitions aie being circulated which will be presented to the municipal council. The petition reads in part: "It has been evident, we believe, to all housekeepers for some time past that the various difficulties incident to the employment of Chinese servants are increasing. "It often is impossible to get In touch with suitable servants at all, and generally they are of an inferior C''ss, as compared with even of five year.-i ago. Frequently they demand wages out of all proportion to their age and experience. •'The impersonation of others and the Improper use of letters of recommendation are matters of common ocurrenee. The deliberate boycott of certain houses, generally engineered by discharged servants, is by no means rare. “Thefts by discharged servants frequently occur. Owing to the comparative lack of obl-time servants in whose word some degree of trust can be placed, employers find It most difficult to get authentic information as to the personal character or previous record of applicants for servi.-e. "For the same reason It Is almost impossible for an employer to trace a serr- ] ant who absconds without notice. In the aggregate we can assure you that the troubles with servants amount to a serious problem in the lives of most American, British and French women who keep jtewso in Shanghai, and we feel strongly we may properly ask you for some measure of protection and relief. “We believe It should be compulsory j for all employers to register their serv- j ants.” In Shanghai every household has a number of servants. There is the No. 1 cook, who is the "high mogul" and ruler of all the servants; the No. 2 cook.

UNCOMFORTABLE • MEALS? Then Try a Pinch of Black-Draught. This White-Haired Alabama Lady Says It Helps Her. x Dutton, Ala. —In recommending Thed ford's Black-Draught to her friends and neighbors here, Mrs. T. F. Farks, a well-known Jackson County lady, said: “I am getting up in years; my head is pretty white. I have seen medicines and remedies come and go. but the fild reliable, came ands, ayed. I am talking of Black-Draught, a liver medicine we have used for years—one that can be depended upon and one that will do the work. "Black-Draught will relieve Indigestion and constipation if taken right, and I know, for I tried it. Tt is the best thing I have ever found for the full, uncomfortable feeling after meals. "Sour stomach and sick headache can be relieved by taking BlackDraught. It aids digestion, also assists the liver in throwing off impurities. I am glad to recommend Black-Draught, and do, to my friends and neighbors.’’ For simple, common ailments, due disordered stomJrh, liver and Arels, you will find Tbedford’s Black-Draught a useful and valuable remedy. The purely vegetable ingredients of which Black-Draught is composed gently stimulate the liver, increasing the flow of digestive juices, thereby helping to prevent or relieve constipation in an easy, natural way. Insist upon Thedford’s, the original and only genuine Black-Draught powdered herb and root liver medicine. —Advertisement.
usually a young boy who la learning the “pigeon” and who does all- the hard work, and even a No. 3 cook in some homes. He often is the cook's son and specializes in peeling the potatoes. Then there is the No. 1 table boy, and if the household is very large there Is a No. 2 boy, who serves the table and looks after the dining room. This is but the beginning. There Is a No. 1 coolie, at least one gardener, a chauffeur, perhaps a house tailor and always in “amah.” If there are a number of women In the family—a mother and three flapper daughters, for example—the daughters will each require an “am*** ” who is a ladies’ maid, needlewoman and laundress combined. With at least six servants to manage —who think differently, have codes and customs of their owu, who speak only "pigeon English” and who have tho art of "squeezing” worked down to a fine point—it isn’t any wonder that the Shanghai housekeeper Is appealing to the Municipal Council for assistance.

We are only on the threshold of It all. Nobody has any possible conception of what It all may develop.” The Postmaster General proposes that broadcasting shall be done by the Post Office Department and that thoso who wish to broadcast concerts and speeches munst arrange for their programs with the postal officials.
