NATIoN,s cHIEF ASSET


It is good thing 20 try to reform bad chill
dren, 10 try TO build up degenerate children; but
il is an even better thing to try to keep healthy
in soul body and mind those children who are
now sound but who may easily grow up unsound
if no care is taken of them. The nations most
valuable asset is the children; for the children
are. the nation Of the future. All people alive
TO the nations need should join together to work
for the moral. 'spirituaf~ and physical welfare
of the children ia all parts of ouf land 1 am
glad that there has been founded a national SO.
ciety of public school hygiene, and wish II.
and all Its branches, well IN every way.
There Is increasing need that the welfare Of
the children should be effectively ssfeguarted
by governmental action; with the proviso, how
everssthzt this action shall be taken with knowl-
edge nnd IN a spirit OF robust common sense:
for philanthropy, whether governmental or in
dridual, is curse and not blessing when
marked By q spirit OF foolish sentimentality and
Ignorance Such governmental action is merely
one inevitable result Of the eyer increasing
growth of our complex industrialism. Decade by

In these regions the system lent itself to
fraud, and much land passed out of the hands
Of the government without passing into the
hands OF the homo maker. The department Of
the interior and the department Of jnstice Joined
in prosecuting the offenders against the law;
but both the law and its naturalization were
defective and needed to be changed. Three years

ommend remedy. Their examination SPECIFIC
ally showed the. existence Of great frauds on the
public domain, and their Recommendations for
changes in the law were made with the design
Of conserving the natural resources Of every part
Of the public land by putting it to its best use.
Attention was especially called to the prevention

I'm our navy the cases where they do not do
their duty are relatively few In number-they
put us all under a deep obligation to them, and
we should give them all the reward and en-

is in the service, the greater should be our
insistence upon having the best kind Of man.
We should have a system OF promotion either
By elimination or by selection, SO that mediocre
officers could not come to the top, The officers
in responsible positions should be watched with
peculiar care. Each captain of ship must
do his duty just emphatically the enlisted
men must do their duty, and the way they do
their duty will largely depend on the way he
does his. He must keep his officers and men
In good order. and he must remember that 1t is

Sympathetic.


There Is young professional man

his business career than almost any
thing else. At rare intervals he dons
MS dress suit. silk hat, and sallies
forth with his sister or some lady
friend to few hours of aggravation
and monotony at dress affair of
some kind. Recently he attended an
affair Of this kind, and all his kind,
tcnder-hcartcd sympathy went out to
Mrs. b. because she was not looking
her best that night. He drew up pic.
lures of frenzied finance In the house,
visions Of pawn shops and spent Il
very miserable evening In wondering
what calamity had bcfallen tho wo-
man that she was not more elegantly
alfred, as was her usual custom.
when he arrived home his sister
asked him what he thought of Mrs
BIS. gown, and in words of deepest
sympathy he began telling what n
fright she looked In her waitress cos.
tune. The sister fairly screamed:
Waitress costume, why. that dream
OF n dress is an imported one, and 1t
cost hundreds and hundreds of dol.
lars" He has never fully recovered
from tho shock. One must know that
imported finery does not need to be
beautiful If 1t is n happy combination
OF queer material and freakish make

TO combine slang and fancy needle
work is one of the freaks of tho sum.
mer cushions, yet by no means new
idea. Scattered over Il cushion ton
are white designs like individual
cards, bearing many expressions OF
gocd-natured phrases enc hears
among the boys, like "Twenty.threc.' y
You're a LOBSTER etc. On these tiny
cards ones friends can write their
names, and while they are rather mis-.
chievous. yet girl or boy is not un.
willing to write her or his name on
the little cards. 1t would be n good
idea to stitch leather postal cards to

noticeable among new shapes, and the
many queer shapes are made decid.
edly becoming with frills Of lace and
ribbons and gay flower trimmings.
Lace braids are fine and becomingly
trimmed with wreaths of flowers.
There seemed to be too much elab-
Grafton among the hats for grown
folks. While many we're very pretty
the majority OF them appeared toe
much on the order of Partisan de
signs. Some of the Mikado hats are
monstrosities, II such a term can be
applied to hat, and the trimming
on these dropping brimmed affairs is
elaborate. From many will fall two
streamers of ribbon with n large bow
about five inches below tho hat. from
which hangs two long ribbons To
reach the waist line. Plumes. flow.
