Growing Discomfort
in the Cities.

- hA0 40 49, -
Artist and artisan, machinist and
laborer, farm hand and land pro-
prietor, all seem to be under an
evil spell which has infected the
people of almost the entire civil
lied world. Despite increased
wages and shorter working hours
obtained in the last forty years.
the American laborer is more dis
contented than ever before. In
discussing this condition, DR..
Charles w. Elliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, recently
said: :.
81 have seen a continuous in
crease in wages the last forty-fve
years, and yet in all that time
discomfort has grown steadily
The length of the laboring day
has decreased, but that has not
tended to bring about happiness
and content among the loboring
class. There must be some mo-
tive back of all labor which will
make the laboriug man take spe-
cial interest in his work. de
must have something to look for
ward to besides the actual daily
wage he receives. The work
mems ideas of forty years ago
was not to avoid work. Where
more pay and shorter hours are
given almost constant attention.
the men are liable to come to
think of this thing all the time.
Some of them probably are con:
stautly thinking of a way by
which they can do as little work
as possible rather than a way by
which they can do as much as
possible. That, of course, has
ruined the interest many work
men might otherwise have in
their daily occupation"
One expression of the discon-
tent of the people is the back to
the farm movement. While the
wages of workmen have increased
and the hours of labor have de-
creased, the desire for the better
things of life and the luxnries
has grown prOportionately. That
which satisfied the laboriug man
of forty years ago would be re-
garded with disdain by the work
ers of today. The increased cost
of living in the city undoubtedly
has much to do with the discon'
tent of the people and the I'M
perfect marketing system which
raises the cost to the consumer
and minimizes the profits to the
producer, is another fertile source
of discomfort. Whether condi'
tions will adjust themselves un'
der the present economic arrange
ment and our imperfect system
of distribution is a question. II
will require more than an ordln'
ary prophet to rise in his place
and fOrtell what the answer Will
be to the rising tide of discomfort
of tLe oeople of the cities.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
a sure sign its little stomach, liver and
bowels are clogged with sour waste.
When listless, pale feverish, full if
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn t
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach
ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give tea
spoonful of California Syrup of Figs -
and in few hours all the foul waste,
the sour bile and fermenting food passes
out Of the bowels and you have a well
and playful child again. Children love
this harmless "fruit laxative" and
mothers can rest easy after giving it,
because it never fails to make their
little "insides" clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Motherl A little given

get the genuine. Ask your druggist for
a 50cent bottle of "California Syrup
of Figs" which has directions for ba.

there are counterfeits sold here, so

rulers OF ITALY TO
VISIT IN MONTENEGRO
UNITED PRESS LEASED wlRE.1

Rme, Oct. 4.-The Quirinal officially
announced today that King Emanuel
Queen Elena and the four royal chill.
dren will leave early in the present
month on the royal yacht for visit
to Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro.
The visit, it became known today, is
being made in the hopes that it will
restore the health of Queen Elena.
Since Montenegro first started, the
hostilities year ago which brought
about the bloody struggle in the Bal
kans, Queen Elela, who is the favorite
daughter of King Nicholas, is known
to have suffered terribly. Practically
every day reports were received by
her not only of the terrible losses of
the MOntenegrins in actual war but
also reports of the intense suffering
which resulted to the entire population
from the famine and pestilence entail
ed by the struggle.
Only two hundred miles from her
home, and surrounded by all of the
luxuries of the Italian court, Queen
Elena, because of the neutral posi-.
tiOn taken by Italy in concert with the
other powers, was not allowed to ex.
tend to her countrymen any aid, even
from her own personal income. The
Queen is declared to have been great
ly affected, A few months ago she was
sent to one of the Italian watering
places near Naples in the hope that
it would cheer her up.
This having failed, one of her sis
ters from the Montenegrin court, was
called to Rome to stay with her. The
descriptions her sister gave her, how
ever, of the terrible conditions in
which the MOntenegrins have been left
by the war, are declared only to have
added to her mental anguish, and the
moment the war ended she insisted on
the trip to Cettinje at the earliest pos
sible moment.
The Yela will be completely loaded
with supplies for the Queens suffer.
ing countrymen. The Queen herself
personally ordered and paid for the
supplies which consist of food and
clothing and medicinal supplies. The
four royal children also have been per
mitted to make generous contributions
and upon their arrival in the Monte
negrin capital they will be permitted to
personally distribute their offerings.

OF course. edged tools, like the
sickle, scythe, and pruning shears,
have to be ground on a grincstone or
emery stone, and then resharpened
from time to time with a milestone.
The bevel Of the edge must be as
acute as possible on this class Of
tools.
The best tool for spading up soil il
not the spade. but the spading fork
1t penetrates the soil much easier and
pulverizes It more in turning over.
II the spade is preferred. it should
have as fat q blade as possible, to
prevent clogging.
The hoe is the most useful tool In
the small garden and 1t should have
a large and heavy blade. The addi-
tional width will do more work with
the same number Of strokes and the
heavy head does more effective work
because OF its added momentum.
A rake is Of rather small Importance
after the seed Is once planted, but It
is an excellent and practically In
dispensable implement for leveling and
pulverizing the seed bed. Use q cast
