THE GREAT UPLIFT -:.
IV--Day Nurseries
By Frederic J. Haskin.
mmmRm#mmmammmmwH MISREPRESENTATION

New York, Nov 2s.--one of the most telling factors in a big city's work of helping the poor to better citizen- ship is the day nursery. To these working mothers bring their babies and little children. leaviug them all day to be cared for after the most scientific methods The total cost to the mother is cents day, to the nursery 2s cents. Tie further bene- fits the mother and baby and the rest of the family receive are beyond meas ure. The gospels of cleanliness and health are taught by precept and ex- ample. The unconscious influence Of the beautiful clean rooms, the careful preparation of the food and the joy of, good work well done. permeate wide circle of homes about each day nursery.
 Here fin New York there are forty eight day nurseries in Manhattan, and sixty-six In Greater New York, all supported by private philanthropy and churches. They each house anywhere from twenty to several hundred every day, and cost on an average of from a, 900 to $7.000 apiece year. In these are representatives of nearly all na- fions. As it is easier for foreign born woman to get work here than it IS for her husband. the nursery comes as a happy solution to the problem of what to do with the children while the mother Is away. Through the babies the mothers are reached and the home of the foreigner who comes in contact with the day nursery becomes Americanized quicker than the home of his neighbor.
 There are children from homes where the father is often a drunkard while the mother supports the family. Ar gument has been made that such fa- thers should be made to care for the children and leave their place in the day nursery for others. To this the Board of Managers of each nursery has invariably made answer: The chill dren of such a father need our infu- ence more than those who have no fa- ther, or whose fathers are hard working men. They need to learn lessons of sobriety industry and hon. esty, that will save them from the state into which their father has fall en.' What a child is before the age Of 8. that 1t will be all its life.
 The influence of the average day nursery here on a child extends over period of life from a few weeks old until he is 14 or IS. Under the con- Stant care of a matron. trained nurses and kindergartens the babies and s''runaboutg" are kept for ten or twelve hours day at the nursery until they are years old; they then are required by law to go to school. but the nursery does not lose sight of them. Many of these children are collected in the nurseries after school hours, and taught industrial arts, or games, until their parents come for them. Next m0rning they gather again at the nur- Sery at 2 o'clock. The hair, face and dress are inspected. the natron gives

BIRMINGHAM TIRED
PROHIBITION THERE sEEMs
 FAILURE.
Hopes For Special Session Of Legfsla' ture That Evil Conditions May Be Remedied or the Law
 Amended.

Birmingham, Nov. 26.--(Special.)-- Rumors prevail in this section that some effort will be made to get change in the prohibition law for the State when the same goes into effect on the first of the coming year.
 One report here has 1t that if the Governor will call 8 special session of the Legislature an effort will be brought to bear to allow certain cities in the State to have saloons. held un- der control. restricted toS certain district and licensed high. Another version is that if the Legislature is called into extraordinary session the present laws will be so amended that they can be enforced.
 There Is no denial that much liquor and beer is being disposed of in Jeff fefson county and in Birmingham where police and sherfffs forces have been working hard to catch the yio- lators. Even with detectives, plain clothes men, special agents and other officers. it has been 8 hard matter to catch the offenders.
 Reports come to the city, that many blind tigers are in existence in min ing regions and that labor at the mines, around coke ovens, in the vi-
 cfnity of the furnaces and mills, are suffering for the want of drink. Eff 1ortS to eaten some oi tnS men eell- ing or otherwise dlsposing of the goods appears to be in vain.
 Prohibitionists claim that they are preparing for strict enforcement of the law and that decisions in the courts will be sought, the lower court judges having given the work of en- l forcing the law a setback.
 If the Governor calls the Legisla- l ture into special session it is figured here that there will be much work done to bring about a change in the prohibition law, either to strengthen ! the enforcement or to allow certain cities in the State. under strict regu-
 lation. to have so many open saloons.

Day nursery children can always find job. number of the biggest employ CTS give them preference over other applicants. There has not yet been known case of a child who has been cared for in a day nursery ever ap- bearing in the courts.
 The day nurseries in New York. since they are intended for children of work ing mothers. are in the districts where the homes Of such workers are thick est. often a family is helped to move close to a nursery in order that it may enjoy it's benefits. It Is interest ing to watch the arrivals as they come in groups each morning at T. Each child Is given over to the matron by its mother or father or older sister. The matron looks to see that they are clean and well. The babies are sent upstairs to be bathed, fed and dressed in clothes belonging to the nursery, and are then put to sleep. The little fellows of 'srunabout" age have their faces and hands washed, their clothes covered with clean aprons, and after a breakfast, are sent to the k:ndergar. ten or to roof playgrounds. At feeding time the .'runabouts" sit at semi circular table designed by Miss Mar jory Hall, now secretary of the Feder- alton of Day Nurseries, and face their nurse, who feeds them, turn about each from it's own bowl and spoon. Eve v Monday morning the inspection is most rigid Every article of the children's apparel must be clean, every button must be in place and every hole neat y mended,
 The first time a mother comes to a nursery she is allowed to see where

 the keenness of contrast between
 clean. whole clothes and unclean. ragged ones is noticed. Better clothes
 are soon provided by the parents and | the first victory for good citizenship ! Is scored by the day nursery. All the milk used is prepared by trained
 nurses, and when the babies are taken
 home at night, the mothers are given
 night feeds in bottles to take with ! them.
 As a means of keeping home life l intact. the day nursery has already
 proved it's usefulness. The baby that is
 taken home by the tired mother. is not a fretful. hungry bundle. but a happy little human nourished by good | food, pure air and a long sleep now ready to be joy to its people, There ! is no known case of a mother who

Ask Your Druggist

The great army of American druggists are mighty intelligent and well-educated men,
 They know the properties of drugs and medi- cines and have experience with all kinds of troubles which people come into the store to ask relief for.
 So their practical knowledge is very valuable, and their advice is worth great deal to all sick people
 Ifyou know your druggist well enough to ask his advice for your female trouble do so and he will tell you that thousands of women have written letters telling of relief obtained from taking Cardui.
 In his experience, he has heard and read of many cases of female weakness, which have been re- lieved or cured by Cardui. So, when you ask his opinion. he will not offer prescription. but will probably say: "7aks C0dad" And you will do well to follow his advice
 Cardu is advised in all the common forms of womany trouble due to disorders peculiar to females
 It has been found to relieve or prevent head ache, backache, side ache dragging sensations, nerv- ousness ritability rregularty, and general female weakness and misery.
 Many thousands of sick ladies have been re- stored to health, by the use of Cardu, and have written to tell of the good 1t did them.
 Cardui is composed of pure vegetable ingred- ents-hence has no harmful effects like many mineral compounds. It acts gently and naturally, is good for young and old. and should be inrevery lady's home, even if not an invalid, to take during her bad days.
