A. j. Jamison of the Connie Maxwell
Orphanage Of Greenwood, S. C.. Mr..
Jamison said in part.
1T seems to me that SO far as the
question relates to children under
fourteen years Of age. a negative an
swer must he given. Work is not the
little child's. greatest need. The
charitable society is supposed to seek
intelligently to supply the greatest
need. The child needs care and train
Ing. He must DC developed along nor
NAL lines, and 1t is abnormal for him
to work at a r~emunerative task, sup
ment, in order that he may support
the destitute family Of which he is a
member.
THE tyro in charity work may feel
that it is quick. easy and cheap to find
the child a job and thus relieve fam
lily distress. But it is stopping the
stream at It's source to compel a
young, tender child to labor for the
very small wage that is possible for
him to earn when he should be en-
gagged diligently in an effort to secure
training that shall fit him to take a
developed and well-taught mans
place in the world. No child can get
an education and support a family at
one and the same time. The COM
munity should realize that it is econ
ony to support the widowed mother
for awhile, in order that the child
may have opportunity to get such
training as will enable him to support
her in all the years of the -future.''

.PE=RUENA A GRIP REMEDY
A MI ltitude of Cases Take It After Everything Else
Has Failed.

Grip IS a catarrhal disease. Whether
1t spreads from person to person. or
whether each person gets 1t direct
from the atmosphere is a mooted
question: 1 will not discuss it, further
than to say. that IL grip is passed on
by n person to another 1t would be
properly called epidemic catarrh. II,
however, grip is taken from the at
mosphere and not from each other.
1t would be properly called endemic
catarrh.
Yes. grip is Il catarrhal disease. An
acute catarrhal disease. In some
cases it resembles a common cold.
There are some symptoms different.
Intense aching of the muscles and
bones. Tired feelings predominant.
1t comes on more suddenly than a
common cold. There has been no
for 1t.
Samuel NJ. York of Union Grove,
