Braddock, Pa, Dec. as.-"God
bless Mr.. and Mrs. Schwabl" The
sentiment was spoken earnestly and
prayerfully to-day by hundreds of
aged and poor men and women in
this city and Homestead. Charles
NJ. Schwab, President of the Steel
Trust, and his wife, who are enjoy
ing holidays on the Mediterranean
had been mindful of the towns in
which they had spent more than
score of years of their lives. Checks
were sent by Oliver Wren, Mr.. Sch
wab's private secretary in New
York, for 81, 900 for Bradock's poor
and S., 900 for Homestead's.
Ministers, physicians and police
men sought out the needy. Many
old workmen of the Carnegie Steel
Company who are on the pension
list that Mr.. Carnegie established
year ago were known to the Steel
Compapy's local foreman and they
all had substantial Christmas din
ner.
In this city 81, 600 was distributed
among 800 families. With few ex-
ceptions, each got 81 worth Of tur-
key and provisions. In some cases
the money was given. In the foreign
colony 900 poor children received
toys, and 5000 children from all
the schools--parochial, and public
got boxes Of candy
In Homestead zoo families we're
located by clergymen and the Saliva
tion Army, and to each family S.
in money or provisions was distri-
buted. The other 81, 900 was given
to the Sunday schools Catholic, lew
ish and Protestant alike, in Sas al.
loimenis, to be used to the best ad-
vantage among poor children.

THE MOTHERS Duty OUTSIDE rnE
HOME.

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
the gifted author and lecturer, in
her address npon "The Mothers
World. points out many truths that
should impress themselves upon the
hearts Of the people Among the
many good things she says
eve are neyenn any period of
history abreast of our times. We
never realize the conditions we are
living in. We have but to look any
where in history to see this. The
thing we have done the longest is
the hardest to overcome.
eve have grown up with the pc.
culisr idea of woman's duty. That
half of the world which we credit
with the deepest moral sense has
been taught to keep it all at home
and she rears sons with the same
idea. Men learn loyalty and com.
radsbip from each other. j admit
that the family is the home OF all
human progress, but the source is
net the limit OF it. The world belongs
to the people in il and half the
world IS composed Of women. II it
is not good world it is just as
much her fault as his. You cannot
always have your children in the
home, then why do not the mothers
see that the great world into which
their children have to 60 is a safe
place FOR them7 You would think
yourself guilty ofgreat neglect if
your backyard contained anything
dangerous 10 your children's welfare
and you did not have i. removed
Chow can we make no, my home
but our city 4 proper place for the
child9 BY seeing to its schools, its
sanitation, its morals. 1t is the bus
mess of all mothers to take care of
all children If women would stand
together and work for the good Of
all The world would be one hundred
per cent. better"

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not

say give them SCOTS Emul.

1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
TO their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

One of the most amazing PROPOSE
lions ever made to Congress is con-
tanned in report submitted through
the Secretary of State by the Inter
national Coffee Congress, which met
recently in New York. The program
of the Congress which it is proposed
shall be ratified by treaty between
the United States and most of the
other coffee producing countries,
has for its object the establishment
of an international trust which shall
limit the production and thus in
crease the price received by the
producer and paid by the consumer.
Further provisions of the proposed
treaty would prohibit the importation
of low grade coffee and would legis.
late out of existence ali substitutes
for coffee. The proposition was
submitted during the last days of
the ante-holiday session and has not
yet received the consideration of
Congress.
