CHAMPIONS
GIRLS CAUSE
ANGERED TO AN OUTBURST
Promises to ADD Them to
Better Conditions

New York, Jan. 22.-Privations re-
sulting from long hours and small
wages for women workers in the gar
ment industry are-'crushing the fu
ture motherhood of the country, de-
clared Col. Theodore Roosevelt, after
his visit last night among the kimono
and wrapper making strikers. Most
of the girls in this branch of the in
dustry are not more than Is years old.
Col. Roosevelt visited them at the
invitation of a settlement worker, who
ushered him into hall crowded with
girls of all tongues. They gathered
about him eagerly, as soon as they had
been assured of his friendship and
told their stories through interpreters.
The colonel assumed his characteristic
expression of anger and sympathy as
each case was revealed to him.
This is crushing the future moth
erhood of the country" he said final
ly. ut must be stopped. 1t is too
horrible for words.
Colonel Roosevelt has been so i'm
pressed with conditions that he said
he would make further Investigations
tomorrow.

RENEWED ENTHUSIASM FOR Y,
VI. c. A.

There is renewed zeal and enthus-
iasm here for the cause of the local
Young Mems Christian Association, Il
would seem. The campaign that is to
begin to-day should end to-day in the
complete success of the movement to
rehabilitate and re-establish the work
of the Young Mems Christian Assoei-
alton in Americas.
The finance committee, which is
none other than the board of directors
of the institution, when it takes the
field to-day to work for the Y. M. c.
A. fund should find far different cir
cumstances from what others have
encountered in similar work. 1t SHOULD
be greeted by a quickened public con-
science in regard to Y. NJ. C. A. work
and Y. NJ. C. A. needs. If tbs is SO,
then the work of the committee cannot
be other than successful.
There is a grim determination il
the hearts of the men who are to en-
gage in this work that the salvation
of the Y. NJ. C. A. here is virtually a
necessity. There is need of such an
institution, There is a definite work
to be done by it. The people of the
city must not let this work go neglect
ed and overlooked.
That is the spirit with which the
members of the committee will begin
the canvass to-day. That is the spirit
that always wins. and it will win this
time. The honor of Americus and the
people of this community is at stake
The building which they dedicated to
the glory of God and the good of men
stands forsaken and disgraced by lack
of needed support.
This is a time when the loyalty O.
the people of Americas will be tested
not loyalty to a passing fad but to =
cause that can mean as much as any
other one moral force in the commun-
ity, aside from the church, if this
cause is fostered and maintained in
the true spirit of Christianity and
right. That is the appeal that it should
make to every mans heart. Let every
man in Americas do his duty by this
worthy but neglected cause when tn
finance committee waits upon him to-
dey.

(By Edwe d Rowland SILL
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought out some new sport to ban
ish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a pray
err"
The jester DOTTED his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before,
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarchs silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord,
Be merciful to me, fool!
mo pity, Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as
wool;
The red must heal the sin; but Lord
Be merciful to me, fool!
g IT'S not my guilt the Onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord, we stay;
IT'S our follies that so long
We hold the earth from Heaven
away.
These clumsy feet, still in the mire
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meaning hands we
thrust
Among the heart strings of friend.
1.-THE ill-timed truth we might have
kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced
and stung?
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had
rung?
Our faults no tenderness should ask;
The Christening stripes must cleanse
them all;
But for our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of Heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave, and scourge
the fool
That did his will; but Thou, o Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The King, and sought his gardens
cool;
And walked apart, and murmured low,
BE merciful TO me fool"

SURE WAY TO
END RHEUMATISM
Ease stin. Sore Joints and Muscles.
Makes Pains and Bnckache
Promptly Vanish.

most all rheumatism is due TO one
cause-weak Kidneys" says a noted
authority. The kidneys become clog
ged up. get sluggish and filter or
strain out only part Of the
poisonous waste matter and uric acid,
all the rest remains In the blood and
circulates through the system. where
1t lodges in the joints and muacles.
and causes all the trouble.
The only way to overcoe tmhis Is
to make your kidneys work properly.
You can easily and surely do this by
taking a little Croxone, which never
falls to act promptly.
Croxone not only cleans out the
clogged up kidneys, strengthens them
and makes them active. but It neutal-
ICES and dissolves the poisonous
waste. substances and uric acid, that
scratch and irritate and cause rheu..
matism, so the kidneys can filter II
from the blood and drive It out OF the
system.
Croxone is believed to be the most
remarkable preparation ever known
for the prompt relief and cure of
rheumatism, kidney troubles. and
oiouuci ulnOiutip. IL IS cuLIciy ull-
ferent from other remedies. II is so
prepared that it Is practically impos-
sible to take II without results. Relief
follows the first few doses, and you
will be surprised how quickly stin,
sore, swollen joints, and muscles
rheumatic pains and all such misery
ends.
An original package OF Croxone
costs but a trife. and every druggist
recommends and sells II on a posi-
tive money-back guarantee. Three
doses a day. for a few days. Is often
all that Is ever needed to overcome
the worst backache or most annoy
ing urinary disorders.
