THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
OF Raising strong. Healthy Girls.

A serious problem which presents IT,
self to every mother with girls to raise,
In these days. The exigencics Of school
life. the hurry and routine Of every day
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make it more
difficult TO raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history Of the world.
BOYS raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, ana they will
grow up healthy at least without much
worrying. But the girls present ser.
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner-
sstites, bloodless, listless, a constant
snxie,y to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem9 Towhom shall she
turn for help9 Each case is more or
less 8 study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 522c Prescott
Ave-, st. Louis, Mo-, in a letter to DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years Of age, was q puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. l was
always doctoring her. When we COM
menced TO use Peruna she grew strong
and we'll"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
Il. r. d. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
SAYS: sour little eight-year-old girl
had a bad cough, and was in a general
rundown condition." She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re-
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna
snd commenced giving 1t to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You have
done q great deal for her. She is the
only girl We have, and it meant lots to
Us TO have her cured"
These are samples of many letters
which DR.. Hartman is receiving, COM
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools

goes rig ht steadily on giving permanent

Why-Sts,emen Shows Conditions

Washington. D. C.. May Repre-
sentative Carter today appeared be.
fore the house committee on public
buildings and grounds and made an
ardent plea for appropriation for build
ings a: Ardmore and McAlester. Tn.
Ardmore congressman asked slS5.0OO
for McAlester and $4,000 for Ard
more. He claimed that the increase
in the latter was due 20 a site which
has not yet been acquired at the la.
ter place.
Mr.. Carter showed that the popu.
lation OF Ardmore and McAester was
$1,000 each and that the business OF
the community was such as TO war
rant the appropriation asked for, but
he also introduced letter from tne
treasury department In favor OF esIsJ
lishment OF buildings at both places.
In asking for the appropriation for
ATamore and McAlester Mr.. Carter
said he was aware OF the uniform rule
which placed a limit OF one building
for every congressional district, but
added that conditions in Oklahoma are
such as 20 make an exception neces.
sary. that no other state of Oklaho-
mas magnitude and importance was
so inadequately provided with public
buildings. and special attention w.
called to the fact that the eastern part
OF Oklahoma is entirely devoid of pub
lie buildings and that the government
at the present time Is expending a
large amount in rental which under
an economical administration could
be considerably reduced by having
the government own its buildings
rather than paying exhorbitant ren,
for the use of them.
In conclusion Mr. Garter referred
to former promise made him by
Chairman Bartholdt in which the
chairman is quoted az having assured
the Ardmore congressman that similar
and equal treatment would be accord
ed the two court towns in his dis.
trict. Mr.. Carter said he hoped this
would be the case inasmuch as he
had only received a site in the last
omnibus public building bill this was
regarded as shabby treatment at the
time by no less person than Presi'
dent Roosevelt. Mr.. Carter had sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt's naval bill in the
house as had many others and this
fact endeared Mr. Carter to the presi.
dent so much that the president on
one occasion remarked that he would
insist on having his friends not dis.
eliminated against in legislation In
connection Of federal buildings. Dur
ing the hearing he also asked that
the federal jails at McAlester and

will be done as there seems 10 ne no

tuberculosis Sunday.

Frederick County Branch of the Mary
land Association for the Promotion and
Relief of tuberculosis has issued an APP
peal to the clergymen of every denomina-
ton asking for the entire offering on
April oath to be used to meet local ex-
penses and necessities.
Concerning the tuberculosis Sunday
movement. the Baltimore Sun SAYS:
"April "a, by concerted movement
on the part Of the National tuberculosis
Associations, is to be marked in the cal
endar for new festival, with all appeal
as broad as humanity. 1t is planned that
on that day people of all creeds and races
within the limits of the United States,
shall, in their respective places of wor-
ship, have impressed upon them gospel
of hope and social service which may be
summed up in these words: tuberculosis
is preventable; tuberculosis is durable.
"rhe Governors of five States have
issued proclamations asking the clergy to
discourse upon this theme, and the
Mayors of fourteen large cities have lent
their aid to the movement looking to en-
HANGED effort for the suppression of con-
sumption Some 1000, 900 persons, it is
estimated, will on April "a, hear dis
cussed the means and methods Of preven-
ton and cure. They will, it is believed.
be inspired with zeal to aid in fresh
crusade, on an enlarged scale, against a
disease which kills one in eight of all who
die in this county.
