educational and health authorities who
have united their efforts in behalf ol
the forthcoming child welfare con.
ference 10 he held here May 90, ex-
pcct = programme 10 be outlined at that
time which will mark an epoch in
the history Of clIild's Legislation in the
state.
Under the direction Of Dir. Roy X.
Flanagan. president of the conference
OF charities and corrections, and with
the cooperation OF DR.. j. T. Mastin. q
programme has been worked out for

fields and includes many aspects OF the
child problem.
Prominent among the questions to
be discussed will be infant mortality,
which is under the direction OF a com
mittee headed by Or. Ernest C. Levy
OF the Richmond Health Department.
DR.. Levy will have the support OF the
State Health Department and like or
CARNATIONS and his committee is cx-
pected to present report which will
contain some startling disclosures and
some equally stirring appeals for bet
ter care Of children.
Indeed. it is stated here. sthat while
the conference will put itself on record
in behalf OF state care Of deficient and
feeble minded children, it will probably
also call upon local health authorities
everywhere in the state to unite in =
statewide campaign TO reduce the hor-
rors of infant mortality.
Among other health problems to be
discussed by the conference will be the
relation OF children to tuberculosis.
Special emphasis will be laid upon the
dangers to which children are subject,
ed while placed in the hands OF colored
nurses suffering from consumption.
The State Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which unites in the conference.
will place an exhibit in the general ex'
hibit, showing the part that consuhap'
tion plays in the life Of the child.
From letters received here during the
last few days. it is expected that the
conference will bevery largely attended
The committee is gratified at this SHOW
Of interest, but is anxious to secure the
presence in Richmond of everyone who
is interested in any OF the problems tc
be discussed or concerned with tEt
child problem in any way

A WEAK WOMAN
And her STORY
In Floral, Ark, Lives a Lady Who
Feels That Her Strength Was
Restored by Cafdui.

Floral, Ark.-"I must speak a good
word for Cardli," writes Mrs. Viola
Baker, OF this place.
"About month ago was in very bad
health. was SO weak and nervous thai
was not able to do my housework.
"My husband bought me one bottle OF
Cardui, the woman's tonic. | took it ac-
cording to directions and now am in
good health.
"a think Cardui is a fine tonic for weak
women"
And you are not the only lady who
thinks SO, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written to
tell Of the wonderful benefit Cardui has
been to them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. 1t contains no glycerln
or other nlawkish- tasting ingredients.
1t is just pure, natural extract, OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate fine woinanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
All druggists sell Cardui.

CONSERVATIoN-F THIS TIME.

With the colonization and civiliza-
ton of any region a period of read
justment in the animal and vegetable
life of that region begins. AS the will
derness gives way to farms and towns,
wild vegetation is supplanted by Gull
tivated orchards and crops, and wild
animals give place to dOmesticated
stock. With a hundred white men en-
ploying innumerable cOntrivances for
catching fish where once an Indian
used only his primitive net, with
streams damned and factories pouring
a flood OF impurities into the water,
and with other streams diverted to ir-
rigate arid lands, fish disappear and
many streams become wholly unadapt-
ed to the various aboriginal species
once inhabiting them.
All this must take place if there is
to be progress in the world. y city

investments in various ways, very
neatly set forth in an editorial para
graph in the New York Evening
Post:
Criticism seems almost unanimous
in finding the secret of Mark Twain's
greatness in the fact that he was
great American. An analysis of Mark
Twain's estate shows that he was
American in more senses than one.
We refer, in particular TO the fact
that he left behind a large amount
of worthless company securities.
Probably few men worth helf mill
lion dollars have not fallen victim
in some degree, to the lure of specu-
lation. But there is a flavor about
the worthless securities the great
humorist left behind that is quite diff
ferent from the ordinary wildcat"
mining or railway paper. The Mark
Twain shares were in the Plasmon
milk company in the Koylo COM
pany, in the international Spiral Pin
company. This is not speculation.
This is to abide in the golden dream
lands of Col. Sellers. where there
were always millions in the most
fantastic of projects"
That. in spite of the loss of for
tune after fortune in his business
ventures, he actually left accumula-
tons of over 100000. all gained from
his books, and the copyrights which
will long bring a handsome annual
income to his daughter. shows what
a literary genius he was. If he had
been a cunning investor he would
have been the richest writer the
world has ever produced.
