Somerset Bee Keepers COnven-
ton.

The Somerset Bee Keepers Association
met in convention at Littlefield's Hall in
Athens on Wednesday. May eth, and had
a very interesting "buzz." This was their
third annual meeting and in point of
members and interest, excelled the prev
ious ones. The forenoon was occupied in
telling the past winters experience, sue
cess in outdoor and cellar wintering, and
the general methods of successful bee
management during the fall and winter.
In the afternoon an Enquiry meeting"
was held, when everyone present, ladies
and gentlemen, gave their views on the
management of bees for the summer
months and the various duties incident to
successful agriculture. How to induce bees
to work in surplus boxes, on dividing
bees, on preventing swarming. etc, were
some of the topics discussed. There were
some nice foundations, some pure extract
ed honey, surplus boxes, bee-smokers,
and beeswax extractor on exhibition by
different members. 1t was voted to hold
the next meeting, by invitation. at the
residence of w. IL. Horton, at North Mad
ison, on the Goth of August, who has a
large apiarv of bees, and is making a
speciality of honey culture and bee man
arement.

Lace Making lSlaves In Belgium

A report BY NJ. Scalquin, member of the
School Commission of Inquiry on the Schools
of Lacemakers in which young girls are
employed. has just appeared, and makes
most painful revelations of the manner in
which these schools are conducted. In the
province of East Flanders there were in 1910
only eighty-tour Ecoles Dentellieres now
there are more than 800. They mostly be
long to different religious communities, such
as the Apostolines, the Maricoles, the Joseph
ties, Collectines, the SGurs de Charlie. The
age of admission IS as low as five or six years.
In many of the schools they are taught
nothing except to work. In some an hour.
often less. is devoted to reading and writing.
Besides this there is nothing but the Cate
chism. the Litany, and the loom. What is
much more serious in the time they are kept
at school. In general the gates open at 30
in summer and at in winter and the child
rem are kept at work till 80 in summer anr,
till in winter. The regulations issued by
the Bishop of Bruges fix the school hours
from 6 in the morning till six in the evening,
but these limits of time are seldom observed,
and nearly always exceeded. The effects on
the health of those so employed cannot be
otherwise than most injurious. From con-
tinuaIlv STOPPING over their work the girls,
especially those who begin very young, con-
tracted deformities; this attitude, combined
with the use of ehuafereftes (foot-stoves),
makes them subject to chest complaints, and
nearly all those who begin early become
short-sighted from having to keep their work
close to their eyes.
This is not all. The unfortunate creatures,
who ruin their health. and work without in

estimated at 20 per cent of their wages is
retained by the nuns, who pay the young
children as little as they like, and this has
been frequent subject of complaint from the
parents. nun who has been connected
with one of these schools is quoted as having
acknowledged that clever and experienced
work-women who continued to go to the
! school could not. by working fifteen hours a
day. earn more than franc 80 confines or
frances a day: of these there might be four
or five to hundred who earned merely a
trifls. A child is mentioned who. after work
ing for two months, took home 80 centimes
as her wages, or at the rate of half centime
day. Another. twelve years old. had for
three years work received frances, or less
than one centime q day. Their earnings went
to the convent. and what the converts have
gained from the work of these poor girls
must amount annually to very large sum,
which there is no means of calculating

and made attractive. An extensive annex
to the grand stand, 200 feet long. and 20
or more wide. is TO be constructed for the
exhibition of farm productions. which
will give the farmer plenty OF room to
show what can be produced from the soil.
The success of the Fair last fall has
aroused many of the leading farmers in
Eastern Maine to its important bearings
upon the improvement of stock. and slim
ulated them to take hold of this matter at
once,
Our sheep breeders will be glad to learn

Where the hair is brittle, dry, harsh,
weak. or thin, the use of AYERS HAIR
VIGOR speedily renders it plant. soft.
glossy, and stimulates it to a rich and
luxurious growth: it also keeps the scalp
free from dandruf. and affords perfect
assurance against the hair falling out or
turning gray. No other dressing is so
clean or has such delicate and delightful
perfume. Without it the toilet cannot be
complete.
Ladies who have once made trial Of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR never after prefer
any other hair-dressing, and many of them
voluntarily offer such testimonials as the
following, from Miss KATE ROSE, hger-
soil, Ont, who writes:
"While keeping my head clear of Dandruff,
and preventing Scald Head. it has also caused
nv hair to grow luxurianty, resulting in my
now possessing hair forty-two inches long, and
as thick as any one could wish it."

The Doctors Mistake.

One Of the old mistakes Of the
profession was to think that there
were no other ways Of curing dis
ease except those which had been
handed down from former times.
1t is not to be denied that the
Doctors have done great things
for the world. But when it comes
right down to the real curing Of
disease, it must be admitted that
Browns Iron Bitters has done en-.
ough toearn thegenerousgratitude
Of this whole present generation,
including the medical profession.
There are no mysteries or secrets
about the compromising of Browns
Iron Bitters. This preparation OF
iron is the only preparation which
will not inJure teeth or stomach. In
this it is beyond comparison better
than the other preparations, which
are mischievous and injurious.
You need not fear a mistake in
trying Browns Iron Bitters. Your
druggist has it. ltgives vigor to the
feeble, and new life to the dyspep-
tic. Children take it, not only with
safety, but with great advantage. 6
