The disaster at Aber- nant last month brought the total of deaths for August up to g. an unusual number for the state of Alabama. Extra care was taken in the mines of the state this month and MT. Nesbitt is strictly watching operations to see that the miners are given every advantage for their safety while on duty.

It is rumored among a well known set of persons that a brand of firewater is known as, "Wilson-Thats AL" which is to say that the brevity of title carries all the dope required by any well estab- lished consumer of wet goods.

An Enemy to Rnsiness.

The proprietor OF a small store in
Pittsburg suburb has made com.
plant to authorities OF the lmpassa-
Bile condition of the street in front
OF his place OF business. He says
that he pays mercantile and assess
ment taxes, which entities. him to
some consideration in the premises
and furthermore says he has found
out that the mud holes OF the street
have actually injured his business.
Some OF his customers, 1t seems
bave been buying goods at a store on
the next corner on the opposite side
of the street because they. could not
reach his place OF business without
getting muddy.
Why to be sure! OF course bad
streets, and bad roads as well, injure
business. 1t is really funny that
some persons are Just stumbling
upon this ancient but important
fact, still 1t is gratifying that they
are at last doing SO. i.
Not only does store or other
place of business suffer injury
because of muddy street in front
Of it, but also does it suffer injury
on account OF the bad roads tina,
lead to those streets. Good streets
and roads bring business and in.
crease business, There is only one
argument to this question of roads
and that is in favor of building good
roads and keeping them good. In
ANY aspect in which they may be
viewed, in any feature or phase OF
them that may be considered, bad
roads are only Injurious.

The Child Welfare Rure,u

An act creating a Child Welfare
Bureau was recently placed on our
national statute books. This legis-
lation had been earnestly and con-
tinuously advocated for several
years by progressive men and women
and during its tendency in Congress
no reasonable argument was over
advanced against it. Certain con-
servative statesmen were shocked
that children were to be treated
Ike pigs but they were silenced
by the retort OF the more enlight-
ened that, as matter of fact, pigs
were being better treated by the fed
eral government than children, since
the government has for years
gathered and disseminated informa-
ton concerning the welfare of pigs,
but the questions relating to the
life, health and welfare of children
1t has left almost untouched,
The new bureau will be part OF
the Department of Commerce and
Labor. Its duties and functions will
be wholly educational. 1t will make
Investigations, collect information,
classify, digest and publish it, and
furnish 1t on application to state,
municipal and other authorities, as
well as to private bodies or persons.
It will study laws and ordinances
bearing on child labor, education,
play, discipline, juvenile courts and
like institutions, and all measures
or proposed measures designed to
protect, reclaim or BEAUTIFULLY deve-
op childhood. Such studies will in
turn suggest and influence further
legislation.
1t was in the highest degree i'm
portant to give this new and largely
experimental bureau a good start,
and President Taft has done this.

BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by the Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wei
fare of Humanity.

While the late Russell Sage was In
the flesh he was one Of the most pru-
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute finan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wildcat schemes. He was
'sure-shot" operator in Wall street,
and when he died he left in the hands
of his lone widow fortune CT some
thing like s75,000,000. Since becom-
ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously in scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing it. The scriptures tell us that
the miser is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them" Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose Shout
ders was imposed the burden of this
enormous sum of money has worked
hard in tightening TIE burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her hus-
bands operations in the market. She
is reported to be falling in health. and
her task is only begun. Should she
be taken from the world thousands
will regret her departure. and it is
very earnestly to be hoped that fur.
Their care of tie property Will fall into
good hands

EFFECT OF WATER ON PLANTS
kentucky Wonder Beans Thrive Sur
prisingIy While Small Bed of
Cannas Were Failure.

Last summer l undertook to keep
alive small bed of cannas, made by
laying down the tire from the
front wheel OF wagon, says a
writer in the Florist. In another por-
ton of the garden eight hills of Ken
lucky wonder beans were planted late
in the summer in a circle about four
feet in diameter. Eight superannu-
ated sunfower stalks nine to ten feet
tall were tied together by their tops
to act az supports. An old can filled
with fine, well-rotted manure and wa
tered every other day was sunk in the
center of the circle. The beans ran to
the top of their supports and until
frost came yielded very liberal sup
ply for a small family.
In the case of the cannas several
barrels of water and countless adjec-
tives were used. In the case of the
beans a psilful every other day. On
this plan j have 40 patent and none
applied for, nor expectations OF re-
ward of any kind Without cost, it
will save labor, plants and adjectives.
Some critic might suggest that the
beans were planted rather close IT,,
gether. So they were, but the garden
soil was rich and strong. Besides this,
they were of the "close communion
type in Baptist garden. 1t was wa
ter that saved them.
