doors of the free kindergartens, and say to the passing throng, Look what the free kindergarten is doing. This little child, year. ago, shivered in the streets"
 There were three little girls that noticed quite recently at one of the kndergartens. They came in hand in hand. They were brown eyed, with faces Drowned by winds, and they clung so pathetically to each other and were such a hopeless looking little group, that they reminded me Of some immigrant children that l had seen land at Castle Garden. The taller one wore an ill-dtting little crimson frock, but their pinafores were clean and crisp.
 You should have seen the holes in their fr6cks," said a woman who knew the children before they entered the kin dergarten, and I was not there very long before l learned that in many cases the kindergarten influence was first in evidence in the improved bodily condition of the child. and as a kindergarten declared, "the change of the first week Is to clean faces, the second clean aprons, the third the holes in the little frocks are mended; then little by little the poor little natures that have become soiled, too, by contact

She stood silently watching the other children as if she was beyond the pale of human kindness. Some one spoke to her and pushed a little chair forward, against which she rested her tired, fragile little figure She really looked as if she wanted to be a child again, so full of longing was her pathetic face, and So many hapless events had been crowded into her snort life She was, the way years are counted beyond the usual kindergarten age, and she was old enough to realize that her child hood had been perfectly bare, and that she had not known such surroundings in all her unhappy little life, as these children were enjoying. The hopeless expression Of her face, the complete absence of any child ish impulse, spoke eloquently of the great need of Kindergarten training, the results of which were SO in evidence in the bright faceys and busy little finegrs which she was regarding with such a wistful air.
 To write of the types that one sees any morning at the free kindergartens would lead one irresistibly into philanthropic channels, but it is just here that great mistake is frequently made in looking upon Kindergarten work as purely philanthropic when it's great object is educative. In

 with moral filth, begin to show signs of cleanliness, and often a whole family has been cleansed and lifted out of the mire through the kindergarten influence of that little child"
 When later on I observed that the little group in the pinafores had separated, and that each child was earnestly at work in fashioning the practical articles which they are daily taught to design, and watched the changing expressions of their little faces, I fully realized the almost miraculous influ- ences of the kindergarten training. There were dozens of similar little studies, the like of which Dickens has drawn thou sand times, and which only emphasized the need of free kindergartens, and the results of the work already accomplished in Br- mingham.
 The enthusiasm and alertness which was so evident in all the kindergarten work of the children, told it's own story of the thor ough work of the kindergartners. The rooms are made as attractive as possible, and with the children enthusiastically and yet so quietly at work at the tables at which they were seated, the scene was dic- tinctly bright and picturesque.
 The eagerness with which even the small- est child seemed to regard the morning work was lesson in itself, and the system and complete amsence of any harsh meas ures to secure order must have been to many of the little ones an entirely new method of securing obedience.
 There was a little figure, poorly clad, who looked in upon the kindergarten. She was much older than the children at work and she looked as if she had often shrunk from a blow Her pale little face told a story of hopeless poverty.

of the board feel especially indebted to her. Mrs Cole by her own personal efforts has secured 3O,0O0 brick for the farm building, which is a great achievement on the part of a single member of the board. It is doubtful whether the combined efforts of the members would have been more sue cessful than Mrs. Cole has been in her good work. She is in every way capable of making a success of everything that she undertakes, and she brings to any cause for which she labors an earnestness and an enthusiasm which assures the success Of any work in which she is interested.

TIE WEEK IN SOCIETY
Brilliant Events for the Gay Holiday Season, and Other News and Gossip of
 Yuletide.
BY ANNIE KENDRIoK WALKER

With the woman in her warm coat and furs, and the man in his swell overcoat but toned snugly, enjoying the holiday throngs, and welcoming the keen winds that sweep along the avenues, as a healthy change from the summer-like air, one realizes that if there is a season that emphasizes the striking contrasts of poverty and wealth it is, unhappily, the Christmas-tide.
 To turn from the streets, however and find conditions that will result in decreas- ing each year the pathetic scenes that one encounters with peculiar vividness at this holiday time, and to learn that it. is the kindergarten influence of little child that will have its effect upon the pathos of the streets, is to make one long to open the

MT. Washburn's Appearance
 At Brilliant Musicale

: A recent issue of the Nashville American tells of the appearance of MT. Charles E. Washburn, of Birmingham, at a musicale of the Wednesday Morning club.
 Nashville is MT. Washburn's musical birthplace, and his successful appearance there in later years as a professional mu- sician was an incident of great interest. Of MT. Washburn the American says:
 'Yesterday morning at Il o'clock the Wednesday Morning club-room was taxed to its utmost to provide room for the audi ence eager to hear the cantata, The Fair Ellen with Charles F. Washburn and Mrs. G. P. Thurston singing the leading solo parts. chorus of fifty voices trained into one magnificent vocal tone did perfect cho- rus work.
 ''The programme closed with the cantata Fair Elen' around which so much interest has centered in musical circles. It was a favorite composition in eastern musical cen- ters, and has been given in all the large cities Mr. Washburn was engaged to sing the baritone solo parts and Mrs. Thurston. took the soprano, supported by the full cho- rus. The cantata opened with a prayer for baritone, which MT. Washburn sang with taste and feeling. He entered perfectly in- to the spirit of the work and his voice was full of sympathy. The chorus came in with fine spirit and well balanced tone.
 "In Mr. Washburn's first solo, Who Is Sylvia? he showed himself the student, mu- sician and finished singer. The German song called 'Au der Wesen' was new to the audience and proved delightful number. MT Washburn has an unusually sympa- thetic voice, one that touches the heart quickly and he used 1t with musicianly care and effect.
 s"After the recital in the Wednesday Morning club-room General and Mrs. G. P. Thurston invited few friends to meet MT. Washburn at luncheon. The Thurston home vas bright with fresh flowers, and the lun- cheon table decorated with splendid Amer

Senate Starts in on the County
Government Bill.

VetOes and Laws.

The Senate got down to business early
ut Yesterdays session. 1t began at
$50 a. M by passing a bill approprl-
ating $4,000 for the contingent ex"
penses of the Senate, and ended at
1920 D. m. by passing another bill Gre
ating a commission for a State depart
ment of child study.
The interim was filled in by mass
of business, including the passage OF
tumble of bills, few of which, at least,
were important, while several meas
ures which had been relegated to the
shades of defeat were resurrected and
went forward to triumphant victory,
showing that to the Senate, they had
been ennobled and improved by defeat.
The county government bill cut "A

TO GUST LOBBYISTS.
In the evening Morehouse offered a
resolution providing that, only news
paper representatives, Senators and the
members of the families of the latter be
allowed upon the floor of the Senate.
Morehouse complained bitterly that he
had been the victim of lobbyists all the
session and that he was tired of it. He
was willing to be lobbied between ses-
sions, but wanted to be let alone while
business was going forward. The res
olution went to the Committee on
Rules.
THE ASSEMBLY GRINDS.
The Assembly drew a long breath yes
terday when the last amendment was
tackled on to the general appropriation
bill and adopted by the House. After
the Assembly got through with it the
State Printer took it in hand and it will
probably appear to-day ready for third
reading.
The Legislature did not change the
measure materially. From financial
standpoint only 500. 500 was added to
it. and there was not a vast deal of
haggling about items.

Johnson's bill making it possible for
Sacramento to raise money for the Fol

Sunday, are devoted to assiduous labor

carried by a vote of 26 to 6, and the
question being on the final passage of
the bill, it was passed by vote of
e to B.
Bulla offered an amendment to Sub
division SO, Section 20, and it called
for a brief though spirited debate. The
subdivision, as printed in the bill, read
as follows:
.'3S. To levy a special road fund tax,
not to exceed mills on the one dollar
of assessed valuation, on all the prop
erty in such counties. Such tax shall
be in addition to all taxes otherwise
provided for, and the fund so created
shall be expended for the construction
and maintenance of the main public
roads or county highways in the sew
eral road districts, in proportion to the
amount collected from such districts
Bulla's amendment proposed to add

ment and the matter was still under
discussion when at noon the Senate
was at recess during the session OF the
joint assembly. AT the afternoon scs-
sion further consideration of the bill
was postponed until to-day.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPII
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans. are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American bus
mess life, it is more often the result
of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is eff
fected by the form of poor digestion,
half digested food. There is a feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation OF
food
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation. like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable. harmless digestive ee-
ments in a pleasant. convenient form
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sfstent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at 80 cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.
