CHILDREN WHO TOLL.

The subject of child labor has greatly
exercised the public mind recently and the
public conscience is awakening to its
many evils.
At recent meeting of the Womans
Press Club of Georgia a whole evening
was devoted to a discussion of this ques-
ton. and many excellent and forcible adj
dresses were made. Such questions as
What Georgia Owes Her Children" THE
Extravaganza and Inhumanitv OF Child
Labor" were strong pleas for the aban-
donment of this cruel law. and the women
Of the country hope to petition the leg
islature at the next assembly.
The dreadful loss of life of little chill
dren in the recent horror that visited
the mills in Gainesville. Ga, must appeal
strongly to public sympathy. Think OF
the innocent lives lost of little children
who toll. 1t Is inhuman to employ chill
dren, and it IS time steps were being
taken 10 curb the greed of. employers.
Some writer in the May number OF The
Housekeeper tells us that in 1900 10000
children between the ages of ten and fif-
teen were reported as engaged in gainful
occupations A New England woman who
wrote the very striking book, THE Wom-
an Who Tolls" went into one of these
factories for the ostensible purpose of
earning wages, but really TO obtain all
the information she could. Among other
things. she writes:
Among the older hands who have be

CHILDREN TO BE PITIED.

There are one hundred thousand chill
dren in the city of Chicago who can not
telk a rose from a dandelion nor a daisy
from a violet" The truth Of this declara-
tiou made by a business man before the
Physicians Club of Chicago. was chal-
leuged and it was decided to test 1t by
experiment. Armed with choice bouquets.
q doctor visited a number of public
schools located in the poorer districts.
Here is his report:
Il was astonished TO find that the
rose was the only flower recognized by the
children. OF course, they were fairly
familiar with the appearance Of some of
the coInmoner varieties. but as to the
names they were absolutely ignorant
There was scarcely a child that could not
reepat the names Of popular pugiists and
actors
The lesson OF this instructive incident
needs no seeking. 1t stares US in the face,
says Robert Webster Jones IN the April

there not a significant coincidence be
tween the Introduction of fads into the
public schools and this astonishing igno-
rance? Happy the children whose teach
er realizes that books do not contain all
the lessons that should be- learned: that
her responsibility does not cease when
she has dinned into unwilling ears the
daily quota of dry rules and reasons from
the printed page. Is there not something
amiss with the educational system that
Ignores the development OF the aesthetic
side of child-nature. the intoxicating of
the love for the beautiful? But the sad

Why They Are Called "Grass" Wild

Philadelphia Record: why should a
woman separated from her husband he
called grass widow asked a young
man of tina antquary. The term grass
widow" the latter answered has moth
ing to do with the heritage on our lawns.
Grass is a misspelling, sanctioned by
custom, of grace In the pas. when
divorces were rare, a woman separated
legally from her husband was called a
'viduca de gratia by the Roman church,
and the French called her 'veuve de
grace The meaning of both terms is
the same widow by grace We took
the 'yeuve' from the French and trans
lated it properly into widow but the
grace we Incorporated into our Ian
guage, misspellng it in the process. You
would be technically correct in writing
grace instead of grass widow but it
is probable that no one would under

alone. This meant the destruction Of
$40 600 within a comparatively small dis

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe HyOmei Three Times a Day
To Be Cured.

If few years ago someone had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed, and
it remained for x. Il. Booth, that emf
nent Investigator, to discover in Hy-
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most nil
raculous cures of catarrh, and is to-
day recognized by leading members of
the medical profession as the only adj
vertised remedy that can be relied up
on to do just what it claims.
The complete outfit of Hyomei
costs but $1.O0, and consists of an in
haler, q medicine dropper and 0 bottle
Of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
err for few minutes four times a day
and it will cure the worst case of ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects COM
plete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American Life
Insurance Company, j. S. Nugent, of
New York City, writes, "Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter of ca
tarrh. from which she has been suf-
ferer for years"
In Annapolis there are scores OF
well-known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. III
it does not cure you Feldmeyer
Brothers will return the money you
paid for Hyomei. This is the strong
est evidence that can be offered as to
their faith in the remedy.

Additionally arships.

Authorization Of additional warship' by
the next Congress will depend largely
upon the ability Of the shipyards OF the
country to tuin out more warships. The
present congested condition OF the ship
building plants is as great a consider
alton to Secretary Moody as any oppo-
sition in Congress itself against the large
naval-construction appropriations. There
are now more than forty warships under
construction at thirteen shipyards, and
not only is the machinery OF some yards
inadequate for the construction OF many
war.hips at one time. but it is difficult TO
obtain prompt deliveries OF the vast
amount of structural steel material re-
quired Under the circumstances the
Government is loath 10 attempt the con-
struciion Of any more ships itself until
