Congressional Committee, sup

that the tariff should be revised
at once in order that the new law
may be in force at least a year be-
fore the next congressional cleo
ton, But selfish corporate inter

like Babcock, view with alarm the
independence already shown by
the President in matters Of pat

Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what It does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in

woman to watch over an invalid
father and sick little girl where life
was slowly ebbing away and sitting
during the silent watches of the night
ministering to their physical needs, to
stand in WEAKNESS of body and mind
many consecutive hours during the
day at hard and thankless task as
the bread winner of the family Could
life exist long under such circum-
stances? One thing is sure, that while
life fingered and strength held out
the element of patience burned upon
the altar of that heart. Weary. weary
hours, weary, weary nights and days
spent in the two little rooms which
were home to this woman, until death
came as benefactor and removed
one from its midst, and then remained
but the little child.
You say mot such burden to pro-
vide forI" All, but there was the
funeral and the expense and the strug-
gle to Catch up" and that meant fur
ther sacrifice and still greater exhibI-
ton of that patience which was little
less than divine Yet this home was

and beautiful in the eyes of angels if
viewed from the standpoint of one
who said, Bear We one another's bur
dens"
Beautiful homes in slumdoms Yes,
made beautiful through sacrifice.
1t has become fashionable at some
time of the year to take part. in some
sacrifice and sclf-denial. but in the
great, sad heart of slumdom there is
perpetual Lenten season, and life
is little better than pne unbroken act
of self-denial. There are many things
which the bread-winner could wish
to have that would make life little
smoother, and the humble home more
durable, things that are necessary tc
relieve pain, keep out the cold and
satisfy the cravings of hunger. but
the little has to suffice in the place oil
the much, and the half loaf in place oi
the whole one. Instead of the luxury
of self-satisfaction, there is the pinch

for their children and as patient in
rearing them as those among the bet
ter and wealthier classes. Indeed, it
will be found that in some instances
there is more personal care and pa
tience bestowed upon the little ones
in the garret and amid the misery of
the tenements than in the drawing
room or library of the palatial home.
A lady who was making visit to
home in one of the worst sections of
one of our large cities asked how it
was that the little children were all
so we'll hammered and implicitly ODE
dent, and the answer was that the
mother was in every sense of the
word a guardian and protector, and
that, during the few hours which
she could give them when they
were not at the public school,
she would gather them around
her knee and, summoning all her
remaining strength and tired thought,
Would relate to them little incidents
calculated to impress upon the child
mind and the child-heart the principles
that should guide them in after life.
What are luxuriant ease, accumu-
lated wealth, gorgeous furniture and
rich apparel in comparison with the
interests of a true mother, and what
is home, aye, what is any abode
where motherhood is unknown?
Beautiful homes in slumdom? Yes,
made so through patience.
This gift has been said to be the
touchstone of all the graces. If there
is one place above another where its
true strength has been tested. surely
it is amid the ceaseless toll, depressing
atmosphere and the forlorn outlook of
the life of slumdom. Many an over
tired watcher at the sick bed. many a
STOPPING form over the drudgery of
the needle, many a silent spectator OF
the loss of all that is near and dear,
have given more eloquent testimony of
this trait of character than can per-
haps be found in any other station Of
life.
Think of the patience that enabled
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-18

Beautiful homes in slumdoms Yes,
made beautiful through courage.
Not on the battlefield alone, amid
the whistling of shot, the CLEAN of
bayonet and the roar of cannon is
courage to be witnessed. Often have
we thought that could the field of war
be changed and the field of loneliness
and poverty in the slums be substi-
tuted, the courage exhibited by the
soldier would stand slim chance in
comparison with that of the hero Of
the 'slums
In the heart of the tenement dis
trict of Twelfth street. New York
City, little boy not more than 8
years of age was found by the Vol
unteers, who presented the truest type
of heroism. His mother and four
brothers had been deserted by the
father of the family. Shortly after his
mother was taken very sick and lin
gered at the paint Of death. One
awful night, rtin-swept and wind
driven, the child rose at the means
of his mother sa.d vert out to try to
hnd the house Of woman who had
acted as nurse for several nights. But
the tenement door was locked, and
not being able to make himself heard
the little fellow paced up and down
the sidewalk until o'clock in the
morning. Who can estimate the an
guish that filed that boys mind9 AS
soon as the woman was reached at
day dawn the question that filed the
little hero's thoughts were food for
the starving family. and when this
was obtained from the Volunteers, to
whom he turned. the little fellow
would not touch mouthful until his
mother and four brothers were fed
