my observations have shown me that

America, and who tell foreigners of the
things made here.
Foreigners are greatly impressed with

scores of other things. Many of these
articles are extensively advertised in for

tourists are not most numerous, showing
that the appeal is made to the native
consumers. I visited many stores and
saw foreigners purchasing American
goods.

1888 Babies Graves

Miss Ida NJ Tarbell has made care
full study of conditions among the textile
workers in Rhode Island where the tariff
protects the industries to notable ex-
tent and where in consequence one should
expect to find the working classes bene-
fitting indirectly therefrom. Miss Tarbell
writes the results of her Investigations in
the January American Magazine. She
says that the wages are so low that the
children of every family are obliged to go
into the factories as soon as the age limit
Is reached and in the majority of cases
the mother has to go as well, thus de-
stroyng the home and leaving the babies
to, shift for themselves. Miss TarbeIl
says the infant mortality is appalling
and cites the following story to illus
trate this point:
Wandering through one of these New
England textile burial grounds once
stopped to talk with two little girls of

humiliation grew upon me until 1t

returned to the hospital.
Dr. Bogardus examined him and found
that the upper or atlas vertebra had been
pushed out of place above the second or
axis vertebra, constituting severe dis
location. or a break, although the bone
itself was uninjured.
The physicians fashioned the brace
which rests on Strube's shoulders and
holds his head in such position that none
of the weight rests on the spinal column.
For almost month young Strube has
worn this harness and there is chance
that eventually the dislocated vertebra
will work back into place.
