CHURCH GIRLS HIT
HIGH LIVING COST
Two Prepare Ten-Cent Lunches
for Two Hundred Delegates to
Baptist Training School.

How TO swat tho high cost of liv-
ing is being demonstrated successfully
to-day by Miss Mary E. Conner, of
1913 West North Avenue. and Miss
Emma L. Daley, of 342 West Peach
tree-anl in a church, at that. At
the head of the auxiliary for the At.
lanta Baptist Training School, hold =
ing its fourth annual session at the
First Baptist Church, they furnish
luncheon every afternoon to more than
200 visitors at a cost of S20-or some
thing less than 10 cents for each
lunch
It's a good lunch. too" said Miss
Conner, who is the purchasing agent,
and l don't see why. it costs some
people so much money to get along.
I'VE have either chicken or potato
salad, beef and cheese sandwiches,
veal loaf and coffee or tea, and the
portions are healthy ones. OF course,
we do not sell the lunches, but we
have to buy them and know what
each costs. 1t was something less
zoo, so that would make it a little
less than 10 cents for each one.
Halved Lowest Estimate.
I'VE thought at one time we would
buy the lunches downtown and have
them sent out, but we found it would
cost a little more than we could af
ford, so we decided to try. it our
selves. We've cut the lowest estimate
In half and we think we are doing
better than if We had bought the
lunches already prepared"
Miss Conner furnished her list of
purchases for the first day: q
Meats, 50; potatoes, 20 cents; eggs,
1925; celery, 81; mayonnaise, so
cents: cheese, So cents; milk, 20
cents; butter, s12O; bread. $3.50; cof-

1t is often difficult TO tell just
what Is. the matter with a crying,

as a general rule the mother VIII
find that there is a tendency to con-.
stipation which has brought on Il
headache or nervousness. The lit
tie one has no pain, but feels out
of sorts"
The first thing to try is a family
remedy containing. good but mill
laxative properties. and many moth
ers will say that their choice would
be DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Thousands of mothers keep it in the
house for such emergencies. among
whom may be mentioned Mrs. Jen-
ME Manuel, Altamont, H.. who be-
gan to give her baby, FREDERICK,
Syrup Pepsin when he was months
old, and has used il ever since with
gratifying results. She writes that
Frederick was not growing well and
threw up his food, but after few
DAYS. use of Syrup Pepsin he was
able to retain his food and gained
rapidly in weight: Thousands Of
others are glad to say that Syrup

when the first symptoms Of Illness

it again. A bottle can be obtained

Vanderbilt SociOIogist, However,
Does Not Depreciate Impor-
lance Of Labor Laws.
ASKS NATIONAL MOVEMENT
DR.. G. W. Dyer, Here for Big
Congress, Would Give Each
Family Plot of Ground.

The salvation of the poor Amer
lean child will be found in the coun-
try" was the declaration to-day of
DR.. G. w. Dyer, of the chair of So
GEOLOGY at Vanderbilt University,
Nashville. DR.. Dyer is in Atlanta to
assist in making ready for the great
southern Sociological Congress,
whose sessions will begin in this city
April %.
II am not minimizing the impor-
lance Of obtaining sweeping child la
Dor laws" added DR.. Dyer. They
are imperative and the South has
been a little backward in adopting
them, but 1 deprecate the tendency
of families to flock from the coun-
try to the city, where the children of
the poorer classes are herded in the
slums and alleys and are not given a
chance at life.
The flow of the population should
be the other way. There is the OPP
portunity for the young people of the
nation. / think some of your infiuen-
tiaI men in Atlanta should put them
selves at the head of movement to
place hundreds of the poorer families
ON the suburban roads leading out
Of town. Every family in the nation
should have a home of its own. When
this contamination is approached
there will not be much talk Of child
labor problem.
IF the poorer families of Atlanta
in some manner could be furnished
each with a small plot of ground in
the country or in the suburbs. say an
acre. and each could be provided with
a means of owning their own home
Atlanta would be benefited"
Georgia Behind.
Georgia is a little behind some OF
the other States in its child labor
laws. Personally, l am in favor Of
very rigid measures dealing with the
employment of children, but I appre-
ciate that in our enthusiasm we are
apt to be unfair to the employer. II
had my way about it and could do so
without working any hardship on any
class of people, l would have the age
limit shot right up to 1G years, but
this can not be done all at once. 1t
must come gradually.
The reform must be a general one.
Otherwise an injustice is worked and
The cause is harmed. If the manu-
lacturers in one section are deprived
Of the use of children under certain
ages. they are placed at a disadvant-
age in respect to the manufacturers
in another section"
Or. Dyer was one of the speakers
last night at a dinner ut Durand's,
where he outlined the work that could
be accomplished by the coming Con-
Egess and described the problems that
are confronting it.
w. Woods White presided at the
meeting and James E. Mccullough, Of
Nashville, general secretary, gave a
brief talk. Others at the speakers
table were Mayor James G. Wood

spring tonic has been discovered by a
woman who doesn't want to carry her
dose bottle around with, her. She was
advised to take olive oil before each

she eats wherever it is most conven-
lent. Anybody knows it would be
unhandy to carry a bottle around all
day. long. 1t happens that certain
cafe and restaurant tables are pro-
Vided with olive oil and before each
meal she calmly takes her dose. No

Later, this rector meeting his curate,
