thin and watery. 1t shows in their sal
low complexion and tired manner, soon
as they commence to gain flesh they
look better and sleep better. To gain
from l to lbs. OF good, solid flesh per
week, the blood must be made rich and
pure. DR.. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic
puts in the body the very pith Of what
makes pure rich blood in the most di-
rect way, and cures disease by making
strength. This tonic is in tablet form,
to be taken right after meals. Sold by
all druggists for 75c per box, or boxes

remedy was never made. Sold by Stone

We have u>t read in one of our
exchanges an account of young
lady who by the death of relatives,
was placed in very reduced circum-
stances, and compelled to enter a
dry goods store as saleswoman at
the glove-counter.
Some very defective gloves were
given to her to sell She called tho
attention Of the hoor-manager. He
told her it was her business TO obey
orders, and to sell whatever she
was told.
She could not do it conscientious
ly, and though very much III need
of her wages, told him she could
not. He discharged her, and she
was almost hcartbroken. Bnt the
merchant who owned the store
noticed her absence, heard the floor
managers explanation, sent for the
young lady, examined the gloves,
sent them back to the manufact-
urer, thanked her in behalf Of his
hrm, raised her wages, and assured
her that she should never again be
interfered with in the cOnscien-
tious discharge Of her duty.

PLEA FOR ORPHANS DAY
DR. DEIHOMMER SEEKS 10 REVIVE
INTEREST IN WAIFS


Orphaus' Day, April ,, should
be made IA State day, III some re
spectS II holiday, saws DR.. {. {.
Delhommer. On this day there
Shunld, he SAYS, he mass meetings,
rovru'l"uS, p'cnlcS, public addres-
srs- grand gatherings of orphans
and their friends. It would do
iurHIruiable good Such demons
llHrIuuS would bring these children
more prominently into contact with
men aud women who should be
their friends-who would be their
friends if they could but only
know-know of their conditions,
know of their environment, know
of their sadness. Homeless child
ren, waits future mothers and
fathers of a republic, uncared for
by State, neglected by society, toll
Grated simply because they are hu
man The elemosynary insttu
tions, to be sure, do their duty.
But this is perfunctOrily done.
Orphaus' Day. April 2, was sug
gested by DR.. Delhommer years
ago, if brought about nicely, would
do much toward assisting In the
education, the training, tho bring
ing up Of orphans that they may
become worthy children and
worthy men aud women Of great
nation. The republic has labor
day, an arbOr day in many of the
States-religious days, observanccs
of various kinds-visits to the sick,
contributions to the poor and mat
ters of such character Rut in the
hurry and rush Of the age the or
phans, the tendereSt Of society's
charge, are overlooked in many in
stances and at times when they
need attention. That is the way
DR.. Delhommer expresses it.
Years ago he conceived the idea
of making April 2 Orphans Day.
He got a measure introduced in the
State Senate, but it was lost. He
was assisted by the late Rev. AL
fred E. Clay, and both worked aud
labored for the cause Of this or
phans. DR.. Delhommer wrote
Cardinal Gibbons, and the cardinal
replied in the following letter:
"Secretary's Office, Cardinals Re-
sidence,
"4O8 North Charles Street.
Baltimore, Md, Mch 16, 'O3.
&C. G. Delhommer, ID. ID. s.:
"My dear Doctor-In reply to
your letter Of the 18th instant, |
beg to say that am much pleased
to learn that the supporters of the
orphans Day cause are people of
such prominence and influence in
Catholic circles. God grant that
your efforts may be rewarded
hundredfold, both in this life and
hereafter. | assure you that your
zeal for the orphans has my warm
est sympathy. Faithfully yours
in Jesus Christ,
81. CARD. GIBBONS" :"
For some time the day, April 2,
has been neglected. But now the
men interested in looking after the
wuifs are again agitating the mat
ter of having "Orphans' Day duly
observed. Orphans Day was ori-
ginated because of an article that
appeared in The Times Democrat
| in 1894 From the moment inter
est was aroused then lost, because
of the hurry aud rush Of other
things. But DR.. Delhommer never
