New Grab Baa.

A new grab bag plan that is being tried this year with great acclaim on the part of youthful patrons of bazaars is called the "old lady with 100 pockets"
 The old lady is a huge figure (which may be constructed over q large bar rel by way of saving time), dressed in a hoopskirt or a wide countrihed gown and bonnet and carrying a big cotton umbrella.
 In her dress are hidden away 100 pockets, in each of which a little five or ten cent gift is tucked away. On the outside of each pocket is pinned a number, or this may be chalked there. The child paying his dime or nickel specifies what pocket he wishes the contents of, and this is immedE ately given him. Some one must be at hand, of course, to receive the money paid to the old lady and to deliver up the contents of her numerous pockets.

Where Matrimony Scores.

Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the eminent French physician and an aclznowl- edged authority, announces the con clusion that matrimony is the greatest aid to longevity. He says if men and women would reach a good old age they must marry. This, he says, Is established by statistics gleaned from all over the world A married man or woman has, he says, thrice the chance of good long run as bach elor or a spinster. In further illustra- ton of his contention that the welded life is best for men he shows that the mortality among widowers is greater than the average among married men. So he recommends them to look out for a new partner-that is, at any rate. if they are under sixty. This is hls advice to young men;
 Marry. You will do well, even from a selfish standpoint. But watch care fully over your wife's health, as even from this egotistical point of view her loss will be a terrible misfortune, for your life depends in a great measure on her own" ...#
 Dr. Bertillon finds that the mortality among widows is much greater than among married women of the same age. The death rate of widows from twenty to twenty-five years of age, he says. is twice that of married women of the same age.
 But the doctor very gallantly finds that women have less need for men than men have for women. Men are less careful of their habits and are unable 10 live. so near the ideal life when deprived. either by design or circumstance. of the watchful care of wife. When we live under the rule of matrimony we gain. When people leave this influence they suffer, he concludes. ...

Pastures of Children.

In recent lecture to mothers and teachers on incorrect pastures of chil- dren the speaker spoke of inturning feet and the means of correcting them. But turned toes and feet, she said, are the result of training, and if the moth CT finds tendency on the part of her child to turn the toes in she must re- sort to training to remedy it. This consists in developing the outer mus cles by proper exercise.
 Of the physical training of the child from birth the lecturer said that, ex- cessive crying being accepted as harm full. the average mother therefore as sumes that all crying Is harmful and should be suppressed. This is faulty reasoning. The natural crying of q baby Is really a means of develop ment, as by crying the lungs are ex- banded and the relations between cir culation and respiration are thus es- tablished and strengthened.

 #G Points For Mothers

The use of soothing sirups" is much more general than Is supposed. Ig- norant mothers are the worst offend CTS, especially those who must go out to work and who resort to these dead ening drugs to quiet the children dur ing their long absences. While it is pitiful enough to hear the walls of a neglected child, 1t is even more pitiful to see the stupefied child sleeping off a drug debauch provided by its own mother.
 The children of the rich often suffer through the practices of their nurses, who wish to secure exemption from their care and so put them into an unnatural sleep. Once found out. in- stant discharge should follow without a recommendation. .t.
 No offeuse can be more contemptible in the eyes of the law or of society than making drug inebriates of little children. It is simply a process of slow poisoning. which at the same time establishes a habit, affects the mentality and injures the baby. A child brought up on soothing sirups', is dull and lethargic. Many a mother who complains her child doesn't "get on" in school is herself responsible In that she fed him on these compounds to keep him quiet while she worked, dear bought freedom. Under the food and drug act the United States courts are making 1t evident that label ac- curately stating the contents of a medicine" does not imply liberty to advertise it as not injurious and rec ommend it as remedy for ills it cannot cure. A man recently was fined $10O for selling "toothing sirup" contain ing morphine and chloroform, though the label indicated these drugs and the amount. pr. Wiley declared the stuff mislabeled because the label declared no bad effects would follow its use and that it was "a sure remedy for all ailments incident to babies from one day old to two or three years" The federal court sustained the chemist and the proprietor will have to take his "sure cure" off the market or con tinue to pay fines.
 It will not hurt the baby half as much to cry as it will to dose 1t with soothing sirups" Crying Is lung ex- ercise. Opium is deadening and dead

Mothar,a Value.

This happened years ago, but it Is worth repeating. Tn a certain home was the overindulgent mother of three daughters. You can just imagine what the weeks washing was with dresses for all of those girls, each with three or four petticoats, besides many other articles. This mother did the washing, ironing, cooking, baking and about everything imaginable, and the daugh- ters-well, they were ''cultured'' and did not do very much of anything ex- cept eat the good meals and wear the clean clothes. One day the father called the mother aside. The two had a long talk. and he admitted he was not able to hire a domestic. The next day the usual complaint was made by the girls about the poor dinner, and the mother quietly got up, went to her room, dressed and came downstairs. She carried a heavy suit case and stopped long enough to tell the chil- dren that she hoped they would have better meal the next day. Their father took her to the station, and she was away from home one month. Every one of those girls learned to cook, bake, scrub and look after the house. although they admitted that for week they lived on bakers bread. lemonade, quince preserves and either salmon or sardines. It was hard les son for them to learn, but they knew the value of their mother.

That 1t VS. SO.
The house was intensely still, and
though quiet, he told himself, was
what he needed. yet a sense of lone
illness overpowered him, when ne
leokd across the desk at the doll and
was vaguely cheered.
1t was an Eazter favor, half rabbit,
half doll, and beloved of Maudie's
heart. He wondered how the child
had come to leave it behind.
She had been playing in the study
the night before, all unconscious of
the impending separation, az she
had left her treasure on the desk when
his wife had come to carry her off to
bed. Toodles, he remembered, Maudfe
called the little creature, and now he
and Toodles had the study to them
selves.
II guess you find it rather lone
some without your little mistress, I"
he said half-aloud, for the sake of
hearing his own voice break the still
ness. you're a faithful little soul,
Toodles. and we'll get along together
flrst-rete. You won't come breaking
IN on me when I'm trying to get the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-01-08

Dedham nodded again and then
took up the books over which he was
accustomed to work in the evenings.
He knew that it was a bad practice to
bring his work home, but he had
formed the habit in the early days
when he had had only an office boy
to help him out.
The old habit chung in spite of his
wife's remonstrances. Night after
night he pored over the long columns
of figures that showed an ever in
creasing profit. and he turned deaf
ear to Ruth's demands that he give a
part of his evenings to her and the
child.
When Maudie had learned to toddle
about, she had formed the habit of
making for the library, where there
was a rug in front of the fire and
where she could prattle to her father.
Dedham, ever at a nervous tension,
had exiled her from the room, and
when Ruth had protested, he had
turned on her the walls of his sense
less wrath.
At last even her patient spirit
broke, and that morning she had left
the home he had built opposite that
of her parents, and had gone back to
them. She was not to be moved from
her determination, and Dedham's be-
lated endeavors to induce her to
change her decision were without
avail.
Maudie had spent all of the last
evening on the rug before the open
fire and when she had fallen asleep
Ruth had come silently to take her
off to bed, and Toodles had been left
on the desk.

Internal books Strengthened out. will
you?''
He read an assent in Toodles' 81
lence and he ran on.
"Of course, you won't" he de-
cla-e6. you'll understand that when
chap works hard at the office all
day and then brings the books home
to work over, that he can't be inter
rupted thousand times an hour. You
won't get mad either and-well, you
won't get mad because lou won't set
me going by breaking in on me.
1T was absurd of your little mis-
tress' mother to leave me just because
l was cross at timcs, wasn't it? OF
course, | used a lot more language
than there was any use for, but, all
the same, guess most men have times
when they are cross old bears, though
perhaps l was cross more often than
was right. Perhaps l was, Toodles,
but all the same"
His voice trained and broke He did
not want to admit even to his waxen-
faced companion that he was terribly
lonesome.
It's all right, Toodles," he went
on after a moment. 81 suppose that
it does seem pretty quiet here tonight
with Maude and - and her mother
gone, but we'll soon get used to it, If
we don't, we can move to some hotel.
There1l be people-other people-in
the house then, and they won't come
in unless we ask them to. Well get
along famously, little rabbit lady, and
l guess you'll be as glad as am that
Maude forgot you. It's funny that
the kiddie forgot you, though, she
was so devoted to you
