There recently became operative in the
state of Illinois a law that marks a
greater stride in the progress of humanity
than any legislation OF recent years. 1t
is a law pensioning deserving poor
mothers with families
When mother is left widow with
:, a brood of little children to support, and
the task becomes too great for her
strength, it has been the custom for
lind-hearted but misguided authorities
to take the csldren from her and put
them in a charitable institution. First
made fatherless. the laws make them
motherless as well, and they are brought
up in that brooding pen for little human
chickens known as an orphan asylum.
The state is taxed to maintain these in
situations. Illinois has originated the
plan of giving this tax direct to the
mother.
This sane pension act allows a deserv-
ing mother from s. TO $40 a month for
every child in her care until it reaches
the age of self-support. Formerly the
state paid this same sum TO the county
to be paid into some juvenile court or
orphans home. The new way costs the
state no more, the mothers heart isn't
bereft. and the children are not deprived
of a mothers influence.
No fault is found with the state chart
table institutions: they have a place in
the work of humanity, and have filled II,
but no one will contend that wooden
machine can take the place OF a mother.
The machine may protect from the
storms, but there is no warmth of love
in it's projection; the employees in these
big brooding pens will bind up wound
with every law of hygiene reiigiousy OBJ
served, but there win be no kissing OF
sore places to make them well; there Is
none of the cuddling which children need
as much as they need oatmeal and flannel
shirts.
Children are not all cut out by the same
pattern, as are so many shirts in a shirt
factory. No one can make rules that
apply to raising children as If they were
so many heads of cabbage. farmer
knows that a certain kind of soil is best
for all cabbage plants. He doesn't put
one plant on the south side Of the barn
another on the north, another in rich
loan, and others in sandy places. He
knows from experience that the soil best
for one is best for all; that the cabbage
has no individuality, no soul.

There's No More Human Law Than
the Mothers Pension Law
in Illinois

The state of Illinois, in it's recognition
of the rights of the child recognizes that
children are not like so many cabbage
plants. They must be trained by some
one who understands the peculiar bent
of their minds who knows their physical
and mental strength and weakness; some
one who realizes that some must be
nurtured on the south side all through
life, while others are strong and sturdy
and can stand north winds better, and
the only person In the world who is fitted
to be the gardener OF these little human
plants is their mother.
in many states where the children are
left with their mothers. the county hands
over so much coal every month, so much
flour and so much bacon; and II any
graft attends the purchase of inferior
articles, the recipients of this charity
are the victims. Illinois gives the mother
the money, and she spends 1t as she sees
best, and If there is any creature on
earth better fitted to handle money than
wise and good mother the world has
never learned his or her name.
The saatute books are filled with good
laws and poor ones, but there is no law
in any state more humane or possessing
better understanding of human needs
than this new mothers pension law in
Illinois.

SILK FROM WASTE

Chemists have lately found new uses
for wood waste. Sawdust can be turned
into alcohol IL can also be made into
acetic acid, wood naphtha, oxalic acid
and pine oil. The latter named have been
la use some time. sawdust from certain
trees, birch being one, can be turned into
a really palatable sugar after undergoing
certain treatments lately discovered.
Vanilla can be extracted from wood
wastes now in the form of a white crys-
tai powder. After certain processes wood
waste can be made into vicose and after
that into silk II is said that In Europe
five tons of this artificial silk are made
daily. And that the demand exceeds the
supply.

authority on wood waste and timber, the
following values are set on pine trees:
Pine tree, per ton, Sl0 cut and stripped,

There is no endless Joy, endless sorrow.
Are you upon earth's heights? No cloud in view;
Go read your motto once again: This, too,
Shall pass away" fame, glory, place and power,
They are but little baubles of the hour,
Flung by the ruthless years down in the dust.
Take warning, and be worthy of Gods trust.
Use well your prowess while II lasts; leave bloom,
Not blight, to mark your footprints to the tomb
The truest greatness lies in being kind,
The tTuest wisdom in happy mind
Ho who desponds his Makers judgment mocks?
The gloomy Christian is paradox.
Only the sunny soul respects it's God,
Since life is short, need to make 1t broad;
Since life is brief, need to make IL bright.
Then keep the old kings motto we'll in sight
And let it's meaning permeate each day.
