WORKING GIRLS IN DANGER

|
Rush for Spring Goods Doubles the
Strain on Tired Shop GirIs-Vaca-
lions a Long way of-How Many KeeI
Well and Strong.
80 meu with sisters dear
| o men with m otherS and wives,
It's not the linen you're wearing out,
But human creatures lives"
| If Thomas Hood could have looked in
to one of the big retail stores in any city
with the endless streams of eager BUYERS
and the pale-faced shop girls behind the
counters, he would have included women
as we'll as men in his appeal for more
humanity.
In order that some may go finely clad
and have leisure, thousands of tired
working girls must wear out health,
good looks and strength by long, close
hours in offices, behind monotonous
store counters and in factories.
Women" as DR.. Weir Mitchell says,
''are by physiological nature more liable
to be nervous and thin-blooded than are
men," 1t is a sad drawback in the face
of the duties of life that a very little
emotional disturbance, anxiety of ner-
vous strain sufhces to overcome the wo-
man as it does not the man, and that the
same excuses which make him irritab BILE
make her nervous.
The greatest friend tired, feeble women
have today is Paines celery compound,
the remarkable discovery of Prof. Ed
ward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., of Dart
mouth college. This greatest nerve
regulator and blood purifier yet known
is the mainstay of a great proportion of
the homes throughout the country where
nervous weakness and feebleness have
entered. Paine's celery compound be-
gins at once to rebuild the shattered
nerves and nerve centers all over the
body. 1t is the one great spring medi-
cine, because it quickly removes i'm
purities from the blood; gives new life
and vigor by filing every tiny ramiica-
ton of the blood vessels with rich red
blood. capable of making healthy tissue.
1.-The difference between the knowledge
of today" says a well-known scientist,
land that possessed before DR.. Phelps
studies of the nerves and their intimate
connection with every process in the
body. is enormous. Dyspepsia, for ex-
ample, is now ranked as a nervous
disease, and, as in the case of other nerv-
Gus weakness, it is readily durable by at
tending closely to the nutrition of the
nerve centers with Paine's celery COM
pound. Diseases of the kidneys, heart
and the liver are cured in the same rad
ical way by providing abundant and APP
propriate nutrition for these parts.''
Not more food but BETTER" is the
watchword of the best medical skill
better food for nerves and nerve centers.
When the system is completely nourished
the tired-out, run down feeling vanishes,
and the craving of the nerves called
neuralgia, rheumatism and heart trouble
ceases.
There is one remedy deserving the
name of spring medicine-that is Paine's
celery compound said a very careful
physician. Sick headache, sleeplessness,
mental oppression and lack of energy
are cured by Paine's celery compound.
1t makes people well.

Discussion Held and Resolutions Passed
by Vermont Dentists.

| Discussion Held and Resolutions Passed
by Vermont Dentists.
At the recent meeting of the Yer
mont State Dental Society consider
able discussion was held on the
above topic, closing with condema-
tory resolutions:
DR.. R. NJ. Chase of Bethel opened
discussion on the subject, SHOULD
Dentists Administer Secret Drugs
and Nostrums ?" He contended tina t
it is as unethical as it is unscientific
to administer drugs the composition
of which we do not know. No local
anasthetic should be used, the for
mula of which was not published on
the label. 1t had been shown by
DIR. Kirke that most, if not all, of
these preparations contained CO.
caine, and it is, moreover, a noto-
rious fact that some dentists are
publicly lying in their disgraceful
advertisements, and pretending to
have the monopoly of the use of
some such preparation, ignorant
whether or not it contains consti-
tuents dangerous to health and even
to life. There is class of men who
neither respect themselves nor care
for the public, more than as patients
whom they can deceive. 1t NAV be,
too, that many very honorable men
use these nostrums, believing that
they are harmless. But how can
they believe any thing about their
effects if they are kept in the dark as
to their formula
DR.. Hoffman said that if any men
in any dental society will stultify
themselves by subscribing to a code
of ethics, and then pretend before
the public that they have the mon
opoly of a nostrum of the kind, they
lie, and should be expelled. A den
fist who does it is a sneak of the
first water, and should be treated
like any other sneak.
DIR. James Lewis of Burlington on,
the oldest practitioner in the state
and one of the honorable and re-
spected fathers" of dentistry, re-
marked that we claim to be branch
of medicine, but unless we enforce
our ethics we do not merit the claim
When advertisers declare they have
something new, when they know no
more than their patients what the
nostrum contains, and do not know
the physiological or toxical effects,
they injure their profession and they
rob their patients. Their claims are
mere ghost stories. In Nashville
Medical College the faculty erased
from the graduates register the
names of those who were using such
deceptive advertisements. Dental
societies should do as much. Hun
dreds of good teeth are extracted by
these advertisers. He believed. from
his experience of active practice of
over half a century. that there were
fewer teeth saved by filling than
thirty years ago.
DR.. George o. Webster believed it
was necessary for the honor of the
society and for the protection of the
public that some action should be
taken. He did not believe in any
| dictatorial despotism, which should
force men, by law, to avoid these
| nOstrums; but he believed in cleans
ing the skirts of the state societies
even of any silent recognition. The
society should not be used as a cloak
to enable anyone to advertise these
nostrums. He should prefer to see
men repenting and becoming ethical,

Communicated
The fame of Texas has spread
from ocean to ocean, and even into
the interior of Europe. AS result,
thousands of emigrants pour into
in that great State year after year.
Why should this be when there are
other States more desirable? Louis
lana in great many respects is supe-
rior. Our lands are as good and
our seasons much more certain.
There are two very potent reasons
Texas advertises largely and offers
unrivaled public schools. Indeed,
this last is very strong inducement
to those seeking homes.
In these last years of the 10Th
century, education of the masses
has become such a prominent neces-
sity and is such an universal one
that no State which is lacking in ia
cilities for the requirement of an
education, can hope to compete
successfully with her sister states.
Acamdemies and colleges are not
what are needed; but good public
schools. The trend of education
is now strong and exclusively to-
ward public schools, and it is only
a question of time when the public
system will entirely supplant all pri-
vate schools. Texas long ago rec
ognized this, and at once established
one of the grandest school system
of any State in the union; as a re-
suit, she is one of the foremost States
to-day.
1t is true that Texas has a larger
fund which enables her to maintain
her schools, and in this respect has the
advantage of Louisiana, yet I believe
that by proper exertlon we can
likewise establish fine public schools
throughout the State. 1t will, of
course, have to be done by taxation,
but the amount of benefit in the way
of better schools, increased immi-
grafton. and consequent enhanced
value Of Land and property, will
more than balance the hardship

The consumption of sugar per
capita is regarded ~ one of the sur
est tests of the prosperity of coun-
try. While sugar is, in one light, a
necessity, in another it is luxury,
poorer classes feel that they can do
without it, except in periods of
great prosperity. 1t has been no.
ticed. therefore, that rs the world
grows richer its consumption In
creases, and that the amount used
to each person in European coun
tries is an excellent test of the So
cial ond financial conditions of these
several lands. Nor has the produc-
ton anything to do with it, for in
those countries like Austria, Russia
and Germany, whele immense guam
ties of sugar are raised. the con-
sumption is very light. The fol.
lowing table will give some idea of
the rapid increase in the con-
sumption per capita which has &C.
CURED in the Las three wears.
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1894-02-03

1t will be seen that England still
leads in the per capita consumption,
but that the United States is rapidly
catching up and will soon equal it
if not pass it. The use of sugar in
creases rapidly, the gain in the
countries given above being 40
pounds, or II per cent in three
years.
Although the amount of sugar
consumed to each person in the
United States is less than in En-
gland, we use great deal more in
the aggregate, because our popula.
ton is SO much larger. The i'm
mense consumption and the fact
that it is certainly increasing should
encourage us to make some effort to
raise all or at least a portion of the
sugar at home, instead of depend
altogether on other lands for it.

IN AEMORIAM.

Soon after my arrival in Lafayette
I became acquainted with Mrs. Jane
Mills. Met with her at the little
Methodist church there, of which
she was = worthy member, and
where she had worshipped, occupy
ing the same pew for more than
thirty years. The last sermon the
deceased heard was preached by
the writer; subject: e'Christian's
journey to the heavenly Canaan. I"
Little did think that her journey
would so soon be over, and that
her old and feeble frame would so
soon be at rest. The journey is
over however, and that desired haven
is reached, by this faithful soldier,
where the warfare against sin and
the powers of darkness are feared
no more. Take thy rest, dear
mother in Israel. Rest forever in
thy Savior's loving embrace. Rest
and wait until others come to join
thee. Thy aged sister will soon be
there. Christian friends are COM
coming. Thy ex-pastor is sure to
join thee. One by one we cross
the last river. This pure and pious
woman is not saved because she
was Methodist. Not at all. She
is saved because she was a true and
Christian. Washed in
the blood. Born of the Spirit. A
child of God. 1t is not the church
that saves but character. May my
last end be like hers!
