industry is arbitrary. invidious, and
unjust. 1t places this great industry

extent the greed of the eastern manu-

bulk of the $500, 100000 invested in it.,

that the imports of foreign art works
have so largely increased during the

Sand Is Healthful.

Some time ago when an item Wen
the rounds of the press about the large
number of bow-legged children in Gin
cinnati it was suggested that sand piles
should be provided for children to play
in. The sand-pile idea has beer
adopted, not only for the bow-leggeG
children but for all the little tots, and
promises to be carried to a novel ex
tent Many of the school yards have
now in one corner large piles of SAINT
in which the little tots roll and PLAY
to their hearts content. Care is taken
to provide clean sand secured from on
of the bars in the Ohio river, and it IL
changed often enough to make it per.
f,,i,ly healthful. 1t is declared to Ut
the best thing possible for children tc
play in, and some doctors have ad
vised the making of mud pies
as a regular prescription for puny
youngsters. They say that there i,
nothing like contact with Mother
Earth, and that if the children do no
get healthful sand or dirt to play il
they will wallow in the gutter or yards
and be contaminated with all sorts O
disease germs. City Legislator John
Regain has gone further and has in
troduced an ordinances in the city coun-
Gil to shut the worthless element ou'
of 8th street or Garfield park and give
it over to the children. He proposes tt
have sand piled in the corners of thu
parks and let the children play all they
want. Mr.. Regain, who is we'll know
in New York, says that this shoulc
certainly be done.-New York Journal
