The Girls' Home.

There are some Interesting feat
ures Of the report made by the West
Virginia industrial Home for Girls.
which should not be overlooked. Fee
instance. one child under eight years
Of age was conlmitted to the school
Under what circumstances the child
was admitted Is not stated, but, II at
the instance iof parents, they them
selves ought to be in penal insti-
tuition for the Telegram does not be-
lieve that any child of that age can
notbe handled. and handled without
rough Treatment or harsh words.
Most feathers in close touch with
children will bear the Telegram out
In this. Certainly, there is but lit
Tie excpse to speak harshly to child
cf that age, and none at all by par
ents, Tor committing the little one to
reformatory institution. But. in
such an instance with parents heart
lesy enough to have the child COM
mitted, 1t is probably better for the
child as there is a motherly spirit
III the Institution under its present
dxcellent management and the child
fares better than at the home from
which It was driven.
Another feature OF the report
which highly commends the work
done is the fact that more than
twenty of the inmates were paro1ed
on wages. which fact demonstrates
the corrective power Of the institu-
ton as being wholesome and shows
the public that the school is inter.
ested In those in its charge. even
when they become self-reliant and re-
formed enough to be sent out to
make their own living. Also, 1t is
found that inmates of the Institution
are paroled to parents OF relatives,
which impresses on the public mind
the fact that reformation has been
brought about and that the institu-
ton is doing what 1t was founded
to do.
Even Cupid has not overlooked the
institution, as the report says
eighteen OF the number admitted the
last biennial period have married
I and have homes. The institution
made them At for housewives and
they are doing we'll and living hap
PLY.
All told the Institution has had
III inmates. OF these 20 were re-
ceived the past two years. and there
are III in the institution now, which
means that sc have been discharged
as stated in the report since the
opening Of the Home In 1899, less
than eight years ago. 1t is doubt
full whether any penal institution or
reformatory enjoys a better and
higher percentage of inmates dis
charged. ~.,A -
The institution does not ask for a
large appropriation for the next two
years, when the item for new
building is deducted. All told the
Home asks for $4,000, including
$4,000 for new building, which is
urgent to do the best service and
meet the demands on the school.
With the building item eliminated, 1t
is seen that but $4,000 is asked for,
for the two years next. This is but
$4,000 a year, and several other
State institutions stand appalled, at
the low figures of the appropria-
tons asked for.
The Home should have this and
more. There should be no pruning
of Its asked-for appropriation.

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing. Healing Treatment
of Hvomej

Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach dos
ing. They are caused by irritation in
the air passages and can he relieved and
cured by medicated air alone. In this
lies the secret OF the great success OF Hy-
Omei in the treatment of bronchial trou-
blcs.
The first breath of Hyomei's mcdi-
Gated air soothes the inflammation, stops
the cough, and relief soon becomes per.

Hy-o-mei has made many remarkable
cures in the worst and most chronic forms
of bronchial troubles and is sold by the
Palmetto Drug Co. with the same
guarantee as the Palmetto Drug Co. give

that is, to refund the money in case the
remedy does not give satisfaction. The

TWO MEN KILLED IN WRECK
FREIGHT AND WORK TRAINS
CRASH AT GLYNDON-TWO
MEN ARRESTED.

Glyndon, Mimi, Aug. q. - Two
trainmen were instantly killed here
in a rear-end collision on the North
ern Pacific road between an extra
freight and a gravel train. Henry
Benz of East Grand Forks, engineer
of the work train, and Patsy Riley,
foreman of the cable gang, who were
asleep in the caboose of the gravel
train, were terribly crushed and be-
fore they could be rescued the ca
boose caught fire and both were
burned beyond recognition.
A c%oroner's inquest laid the blame
on Cornelius Buckley, a telegraph OPP
orator at CAM Siding, and on Edward
McKenna, rear flagman of the work
train. Both are held under a cor
oner's warrant.
The operator was held responsible
in that he failed to pull the block on
the approaching freight train, while
the brakeman was held jointly respon-
sible for not having been at his sta.
ton at the rear of the train to flag
the extra.
