woodlands cool and sweet,
To the dear old stream where / used to 70

And love to dream of that river bank and
the placid swimming place,
Where the willows swayed by the breezes

When mother discovered my hair was wet

the days of long ago,
When / was kid with freckles and a
head of tousled tow
I don't suppose 1 would recognize the
scenes that then were mine,
The swimming hole, the meadows, and the
pathway for the kline
I love to dream Of my dreams of then, as
onward creep the years,
But ever there's one thing steals in them
that stops my flow of tears,
And that's the thought of the day when I
was logged with paddle stout,
When mother discovered my hair was wet
and my shirt was inside out.

years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and

HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

We usually consider our best
friends those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
and observe that it is one of the
meanest of all enemies, for it stabs
one while protesting friendship.
Coffee contains poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease in one or more organs of
the body if its use is persisted in.

vousness for four years, and the doc

TIE FRENCH WoMAN's ART
HER SECRET OF BEING CHIC IN
DRESS AND FIGURE.
Homework and Diet Keep French
Woman's Figure Trim--Makes
Friend of Her Mirror.

New York Sun: 'The American
woman is not chic" said a physical
cuiturst and beauty lecturer, "and she
never will be until she learns the arts
OF the French woman.
There never were so many pretty
American women as now. The girls are
tall and fair and the women are yolup
tuous and blooming. All wear costly
dress
when it comes to being chic, how
ever, they are not in it. A thousand
times / have been asked: How can I
be chic? and | hardly know what to
say.
"One of the principal reasons why
the French woman is chic is her un-
derwear. 1t is always dainty to the
last degree.
There is subtle something by
which you can tell it. 1t may be only
the suspicion of rustic; it may be
only a chance display of lace; it may
be just the merest suggestion of lin
gerie, but you get the idea that there
is more daintiness than shows upon the
surface.
"The American girl wears expensive
enough lingerie, but she seldom makes
it chic. There is something lacking.
She may lift up her skirt and show
an all silk petticoat, but it is not a
petticoat that bewitches. 1t is merely
piece of silk. The French woman, if
ST. were to lift her skirt, would be-
witch you.
'9The explanation is this: The French
woman never makes mistake. In
taste she is superb.
IF her skirt is French pink you
may be sure that her shoe heels are
French heels and her stockings pretty
stockings. She never mixes things up.

cannot be classed with murder in
England. Life is cheap and the dead

adopted gave him unlimited scope TO
exhibit his cruelty. On one occasion
a Shereef who had married his sister
proposed, according to Moslem GUS

THE CURSE OF CHILD LABOR.

Child labor is a hated and hateful
thing. Manhood abhors it and the
true spirit of chivalry rebels against
it. 1t is therefore perfectly natural
that all over the country there is a
protest against it.
Senator Beveridge has introduced
q bill in the senate to prohibit COM
mon carriers from transporting the
products Of child labor in mines and
factories. The measure has naturally
attracted a great deal of attention,
for it is a novel and unique way of
combating the great evil.
In speaking of the bill the senator
said: These children, reaching what
ought to be manhood and woman
hood, become the parents of offspring
inheriting their degeneracy, and these
children in turn grow up to produce
other children still more degenerate.
This rum cf American citizenship,
upon which alone this republic, the
last experiment OF freedom rests. is
too high n price to pay for making
still richer a few men who are al
ready too rich.
THE states, acting separately, are
not competent to stop the evil. First,
because If one state passes a good
law and other states do not, the man
ufacturers in the good state are at
business disadvantage with the
manufacturers of the bad state, for
the latter can employ cheap child la
Dor and the former cannot.
THE manufacturers in the good
state suffer because of the very right
eousness Of the states laws, and the
manufacturers of a bad state profit
by the very wickedness of that states
laws. And American business men
should have equal opportunities. If
one state eHdClS anu SlllOLNC7 SOOA
laws, and other states do not, the
making of good citizens in the for
mer state is neutralized by the max
ing Of bad citizens in the latter state.
For these latter are citizens not only
Of that state which permits their ruin,
but also citizens of the nation.
"If New York produces annually
100000 degenerates, they are not cit
izens of New York exclusively, but
of the republic also. They vote not
only at state elections, but at national
elections. Also, they travel into other
states, and there become the parents
of bad citizens"
