Mrs. Bottorf, who in conjunction
with her sister, *. HOstetter,
has made the Working Girls, Inn
a possibility.
of money, plenty of time to our
selves, plenty to eat, good apart
ments, and good clothes-and we
took It,"
That was the impetus with
which the new Working Girls
Inn was started. The two older
women took the girls in charge,
for they admit they didn't like
the life they we're leading, and
found temporary place for them.
Then they found a great ram
bling house on a large property
at 1011 South Third street. Put
ting their story before the own
ler, they were given this place, to
do with as they liked, at a very
moderate rent. The Working
Girls Inn had its start.
Today Mrs. Hostetter and Mrs.
Bottorf are working at the inn,
cleaning, Frightening and max
Ing 1t a place to be sought by
girls who need home, diversion
and companionship.
The big house will accommo-
date 25 girls. There Is to be a
laundry and a sewing room.
There will be a library, too, and
the. great, wide porches will be
used in the summer as sleeping
porches. A tennis court is to be
made in the rear.
No girl earning $40 a week
will be taken into the Inn. It
will be for girls who cannot af-
ford any other place. And their
board and room Is to cost them
$3.50 a week.
But no girl will be turned away
because she has no money. Mrs.
Bottorf says she will sleep In the
cellar rather than see any girl
turned away from the Inn.
The home founders need $1,000
to buy furniture and food.

Two sisters left their home on
farm and came to Tacoma. 1t
was the old story. They were
old enough to work, their father
told them, and help lift the bur-
den from his and their mothers
shoulders.
They found job-10 long
hours a day at 81 week-and a
room. small and poorly ventilated
in a cheap hotel. Most of their
meals they ate cold.
Like other girls they wanted
diversion and companionship, and
a few clothes now and then. Their
manager told them they must
dress we'll to hold their Jobs.
Mrs. L. Media Hostetter and her
sister, Mrs. Mary K. Bottorf, dis
covered the two girls in their
close, cherries room, and be-
cause they had always been mis-
sion workers took an interest in
the two young woman. Not long
after the girls moved away. They
had quit their jobs. Mrs. Hos

search.
They found the two country
girls deep in shame. Whyg they
asked. And the whole story

CORN GROWING.

A good example of results gained from the stimulation of corn growing, similar to those which have met with varying success in this state, is shown in York County, South Carolina, where a Boys Corn club was started and the record shows that thirty eight members entered and the keen interest which was caused resulted in the average production being 6S 2-S bushels an acre. There were only four who raised less than fifty bush els an acre and only nine produced less than sixty. Five produced be- tween TO and 80 bushels, three pro- duced between 90 and 100 bushels and one raised 109 1-2S bushels. This should be the cause for increasing activity in this line of farm work wherever 1t is brought to the notice of young farmers.
 Boys in Connecticut can do as well as they can in South Carolina. There Is no reason why in eastern Connect icut a larger amount of time and at tention should not be devoted to the growth of corn, and bettering the pro- duction where 1t is already grown. There ought to be enough interest in such an effort to work for the benefit to be derived. Could the boys be given a new interest in the develop ment of the farm and the increasing of the production much good is going to result to every community and greater profit is going to result to them as boys and later as proprie- tors

The Qxickest, IfnaPiest
 Cough Cure
Easily and CheapIy Made at
 Home. Saves You 92.

This recipe makes a pint of cough fIms You Couldn't buy as much or as good cough syrup for $2.5O.
 Simple as it Is, it gives almost instant relief and usually stops the most obsti- nate cough In 24 hours- This is partly due to the fact that 1t is slightly laxa- tive, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to take-children like it. An excellent rem edy, too, for whooping cough, croup, sore lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with E pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 211a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worth) in g pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
 Pine is one of the oldest and best known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all the other natural healing elements. Other preparations will not work in this formula.
 The prompt results from this recipe have endeared it to thousands of house wives in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan has been initiated often, but never successfully.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Youy druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you. If not, send to The Pinex Co, Ft Wayne, Ind.

SOARING THE GAME

Miss Peckham has a beau" an- nounced Mrs. Bennett, breathlessly, to the women who were gathered around the bridge table. ''+e You don't say so?i exclaimed Mrs Holman. Who is he?"
 "The new boarder," replied Mrs. Ben nett. Hes the tall young man who sits at the middle table. He took a great fancy to Miss Peckham the very day he came. I'm so glad Miss Peck ham is one of the finest women at the Browntstone, and 1t certainly Is a shame that she never had beau be- fore"
 Never had beau!"
 "Neverl" repeated Mrs. Bennett, i'm. pressipely. She admitted 1t to me in confidence one day. I intend to help her along all can and see that she lands MT. Weed, for she deserves a good husband"
 q should say she does!" agreed one of the other women. Let's all put in good word for her, and then if she doesn't land him it won't be oul fault"
 That evening, after dinner, Mrs. Ben nett was sitting on the front porch Of the Brownstone alone when young MT. Weed made his appearance.
 Good evening, MT. Weed" chirped the gopher eyed Mrs. Bennett How do you like the BrownstoneT'
 'Very much indeed, Mrs. Bennett. The food is good and find the people pleasant"
 I'm so glad to hear you say so, MT. Weed. I've lived here four years and I am very fond of all the people here, especially the young ladies. We have such lovely young ladies here, don't you think SOP"
 Yes, yes, indeed" young Weed re- piled, nervously. A bachelor can nev- CT be too wary.
 q think Miss Peckham is an espe- cially fine girl" Mrs. Bennett went on. "She is perfectly splendid and she makes the best things in a chafing dish you ever tasted. It's a pity she has never married,' but some lucky man will come along and appreciate her at her true worth and away she will go, I suppose"
 Mrs. Bennett glanced out of the cor ner of her alert brown eyes to see tho effect her speech was having upon young Weed He was plainly moved, for he fingered his cane nervously and hurried down the steps, murmuring something about an engagement.
 The next morning Mrs. Holman met young Weed in the hall on his way to breakfast.
 Good morning, Mir. Weed. Lovely morning, isn't it?"
 Fine, fine" agreed young Weed, standing politely aside for Mrs. Hol- man to pass, but that designing per- son moved not at all.
 ''Too bad this isn't a holiday, II would be such a lovely morning to play golf. You know, Miss Peckham is an expert golfer and you should chal- lenge her to game some fine morn ing"

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAl
Get to the Pointl
to the point. friend lawyer

Get to the point, friend lawyer
 Something ought to be done to stay the plague of words. The curse of the magazine article, the review, the es- say, the sermon, the lawyers speech, the politicians harangue, of everything in which one is supposed to be talking in order to let you know something, is superf1uous words.
 The horror of book-buying Is that nine-tenths of the books you pay money for do not say anything, or at least give you only a grain of wheat in a bushel of chaff.
 Why don't the doctors experiment on rats and guinea pigs to find some serum to cure the fiux of words? | It is long and irrelevant speeches that clog courts and delay justice There seems to be no place where di- gression, unnecessary repetition and aimless talk seems to be more the style than among lawyers. They ap- pear to have an idea the client will not think he is getting his money s worth unless his advocate speaks end lessly.
 We have abandoned the three decker" novels, the short story Is driving out the 300 page romance, the parson has been forced down from two hours to thirty minutes, the newspaper has squeezed sthe reporters descriptive -enius into a paragraph; let the good work go on! Compel the lawyer to say his say in an hour at least, and the senator to confne his remarks to twenty minutes, and a suffering world will sing a Te Deum of relief.

MARRIAGES OF WHITES AND
 BLACKS.

Naturally the prominence given to the marriage of Jack Johnson and the white girl in Chicago is going to have its result in bringing forth leg islation to prevent such occurrences In other states. Bills are being pre- psSed now in the states of Ohio, H. lnois, Kansas and Iowa to be pre- sented to the next legislatures for enactment. Eight states now forbid such union and of that number only two, Indiana and Maine are in the north. Investigation in many cities results in the disclosure that there are many such marriages, but they lack the publicity which was given to Inc Johnson case and are given but little attention Deplorable as 1t is the recent marriage experiences of the champion heavyweight are likely to te the cause of preventing it in many states in the future Such legislation is the proper course to take and has existed in the southern states for a long time For the benefit of society and the future of the race it is the pest that such unions should be pre- vented It was one instance where me south could give the north advice In the way of legislation and show the value of a law on the subject. It will not be . diflcuit task to obtain the support to e policy antagonistic to sucff maxriaesa, and make them pos- Sible in fewer states,

THE COAL QUESTION.

There is one thing which the public cannot figure out in regard to the coal question and that is how the independent dealers, when they con- trol only about fourteen per cent. of the output of the mines, are able to play such an important part in the control of the situation. Concerning the independent operators, the Spring field Union says: "They could not be- gin to supply the demand even if they had been accommodating a stock all summer. So far as we can judge these independents in reality are es- sentially dependent upon and work in close relations with the big com panies- Such being the case, 1t is an overtax upon the public's credulity to assert that the independents are getting all the benefit from the so- called bonuses paid by retailers and shifted upon the shoulders of con- sumers. If the independents are able to turn the situation into a gigantic bonanza for themselves it is natural that people should be curious to know how the thing is done"
 It would appear that the indepen- dents, or possibly the agents had cor nered the coal market by buying up the supply of the producers far ahead and are reaping the benefit there from off of the consumer in which case they have gotten the best of the deal both coming and going. They are doing what is done at the big football games and other gatherings by getting large part of the supply and demanding their price for it. When the producers sell only to the agents at the circular prices, and the agents sell only at big advance there seems to be no other conclusion than that the Independents and agents are acting along the same line.

DANGER FROM WHooPINe COUCH

In most instances where contagious diseases exist, efforts are made to warn the public and prevent the spread of the disease, by keeping the neighbors and friends away from the patient Strict rules exist for the pur- pose of preventing epidemics but there are many, so called children's diseases, which while while contagious, are not given this attention and among the number is whooping cough. Inves- legations have demonstrated that this is from @ germ, that it is contagious and preventable. The Groton & Ston- ington electric road In forbidding any cases of the disease to be taken aboard it's cars is taking a step in the interest of public safety. If no cases are permitted In the cars none will be contracted there.
 The danger from the disease is too lightly estimated by the public in gen. eral when Health Officer Black of New London sets forth these facts:
 More suffering and deaths are now caused by this disease than by any of our contagious diseases except consumption.
 With or without the whoop the disease is dangerous as long as the cough lasts, usually two or three months.
 Tn small or crowded rooms the dis ease is easily transmitted, while in the open air close contact is neces- sary.
 Fresh air and outdoor exercise init igate the suffering and shorten the course of the disease. l..
 By law, physicians and parents are required to report to the health au- thorities all cases of whooping cough under their care It is the duty of health authorities to protect the public and they have the power to take such action as they may deem advisable. ''
 Tt is also the duty of any person with the knowledge of an unreported case to report the same anonymously or otherwise.
 "A death from whooping cough is just as great calamity as a death from smallpox"

kEEpINo PUPus IN HIGH SCHOOL

Holding pupils in high school Is a problem with which many educators throughout the country have long wrestled, The first year finds large class, but thereafter they begin to drop out and by the time the closing year is reached the class has many times shrunk to two-thirds or half its size on entering. At Sumter, $. c. Supt Edmunds has established an ex- cellent record showing that but ten in class of sixty left school before graduation. It is insisted by the su- perintendent that each pupil shall real ize that he is an individual, not 8 mere cog in a machine, thus devel- oping a valuable sense of personal pride, which leads to desire for more and more education. In the system the boys and girls are educated sep arately after leaving the sixth grade and there is maintained a military company of grammar school and high school boys. A prominent feature Is also made of the high school gradua- tion.
 There are many reasons which cause the pupils to leave high school after entering. Lack of interest and finan- ciaI circumstances at home are two of the chief causes which serve to take children away from the schooling which it would be to their advantage to have. There is a growing interest in high school education throughout the country as the advantages there from are more realized and whatever
 
 to get all the learning possible should receive encouragement. Unquestion- ably the example set by those who have proflted by the advantages of higher education has an important effect upon those in school and those sending children to school.
