Pronj London comes a story of the
o4 old-fashioned stamp, a real life

the. keynote to the home is matrimony. .■ :-’v :
This being so, whatever tends to weaken the matrimonial

When young Sherry started to wofk
at the mills, he was put to/ work
as a checking clerk, working 14 houifs
a day; later he was transferred to dif-
ferent departments of the mills, and
.at times he was put on the night-shift.

fully and has received nothing but

Bottles and Babies. ,
\ A prominent woman, physician hqg
this to say about the feeding of bot-
tle babies: “Babies are creatures Of
habit, and can easily be trained to the
utmost regularity. To this end the in-
fant should be allowed 20 minutes to
each bottle, and if it is not finished,
then it ought to be taken away. Thu*
it will learn to take its meals regularly
and quickly.”
For everybody knows that babies
savors of such—-is
or garbed in ah attractive aspect the highest
and truest ideals of marriage fre made to suffer in the eyes of all people.
But especially in the case of the thoughtless and the young is this true.
Anything .which gives publicity to departure from-the pure simplicity
of marital relations weakens the life of the home in the eyes of these
people and sows a deadly cron of sin and corruption in its wake. "Whether
the medium through which this is done be the setting forth of actual in-
cidents wherein loose marriage relations are typified, or whether it be
through fiction, makes no difference—the result is exactly the same.
In fact, if anything, fiction is apt to do more harm than an absolute
narration of facts, for the latter is not so liable to dress moral looseness

in an attractive and radiant way—a way which will appeal to those who
do not takq the trouble to go below the surface. And whereas the, youth,
both male and female, often would not care to bother with a newspaper
account of divorce, infidelity and things of that sort, he will read fiction.
Therefore I say that the type of fiction which is dealing with illicit conduct
is doing a vast amount of harm. ’ ' •
The tendency 'to-day is bad enough in that direc-
tion anyhow without being fostered by literary repre- *V. ^e|| .
sentation. The whole matter is very much in the air— |j|
altogether too much so. It is never to be forgotten

For no i-ort of occupation is so^
and disconcerting as keeping a little grocery in some dingy and nMfi
basement in the Ghetto or in any other coi^gested district. The hours ^
work are from four o’clock in the morning until ten o’clock it night. Bnt
this is: not the only drawback of the small .slum storekeeper. There are
othier more plainful situations which confront him.
Perhaps the worst of these is thfe necessity of keeping the store clean
and the goods fresh. Both of these are, things which the basement grocerj
simply cannot do^ at least not well. He lias no facilities for keeping hW
place clean and has no trade large enough to allow his goods to circulate
quickly and to get in a new stock of goods every other week or so.
There are hundreds of little stores in Chicago where the keeper of
the store has only one room back of his store to live in. As the proprietor
of such a store has one and generally more children, the insufficiency of the

and the home and store become one. i ‘ * . ‘ r
* Frequently upon entering sucH a store one will find some of the
family wash drying in the rear of the little room. Children crawl about the
floor, playing with the measures, the scoops, or whatever else they
lay their hands upon. The woman, the wife of the storekeeper, who acts
as saleswoman while he is away, and frequently while be is there, too,
has her babe in her arms or lap. When a customer comes in she puts down
the baby and is ready to wait on him.
