WOMAN'S ADVANCE IN CHINA
Ono Of the Most Encouraging Signs Of
Progress That the Great Empire
Has Yet Given.

When Christ begins to uplift a race,
the evidence Of 1t is seen In the posi-
tion and education of woman. In the
great land of China woman is still
ignorant and enslaved to man. Men
tally, morally and physically she Is
still near the bottom of the ladder
but a change Is coming and has, in
fact already become evident. A new
style of woman is appearing, with un-
bound feet, with face washed from
the old-time paint and powder, with
the impulse and admitted right to take
her place beside the men of her fam
lily and acquaintance in social and in
tellectual life.
Perhaps the most evident change
has been in the line of woman's edu-
cation. Thirty years ago there was
not even the simplest classic for
them; now the road to highest edu-
cation is opening. The very men who
generation ago wished to keep them
In subsection now demand they shall
be like their western sisters.
"A cry comes from all over China
for teachers, for women who know"
says writer in Woman's Work. This
need offers perhaps the greatest op-
portunity for American young women
that exists anywhere for the Chinese
are willing to pay for English, for mu-
sic, for anything. 1t is decreed that
their women must be enlightened"
Another sign of progress in China IS
seen in the new official Chinese al
manac, which contains for the first
time in its history the Christian Sun
day as well as the Chinese holy days

the police in every nook and corner
OF New York failed to reveal the
slightest trace of Esther Maude Near

The case resembles in MANY re-
spects that of Ruth Wheeler. who
also sought employment as a stem

bert Wolter, where she was mur-
dered and her body burned and put
into sack. 1t is another of the many
strange disappearances of a great
city's daily life.
In fact, the parents of Esther Near

Ruth when their own daughter went

her against going to private residences
for work or answering post card re-
quests for help ss did Ruth Wheeler.
Esther, an unusually attractive girl,
well proportioned and large for her
age, was also warned to be careful

of strange men.
1t was Lyon Mearson, brother of
the missing girl. who first notified the
police Of her disappearance. Lyon,

Get After the Flies.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
OF millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
OF destroying flies Is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Files are dangerous carriers Of dis
ease and an enemy OF humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.

Directors of the New South

authorized Chas. H. Sieg to
sell this colony land upon the
strict guarantee that if it is
not satisfactory to the pur-
chaser he may ask for and re-
ceive back every cent he has
paid, together with 6 per cent
interest, any time before ac-
tual delivery of the deed.

100 per cent, and many OF those
settlers who bought land, and have
not even improved it as yet, are ac-
tually refusing in profits more than
the amount of money they paid
for their homes.
Then Mr.. Sieg began his search
for his greatest and his best Flor
ida farm community. After careful
scrutiny of all Florida lands, he de-
cided that Marion County, north of
the County Seat, Ocala, held the
greatest promise for his ideals,
and he purchased a large tract of
land there.
Upon one side of this property
lies the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road, on the other the Seaboard Air
Line, and through the heart of it
travels the Ocala & Northern Rail-
road. Upon the eastern border of
this colony, which Mr.. Sieg has
called Burbank Ocala, the beautiful
Ocklawaha river runs, and over the
breast of it's waters travel passen-
ger and freight steamers from Pal
atka to Silver Springs.

ton, the greatest and most neces-
