from pains across my back four or
five years. 1t was hard for me to do
my work on account of the weakness

lift up anything. the trouble was
worse. i saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised when was having bad
attack, and my husband got box
for me at Wells & Haymaker,s Drug
Store. had taken only few doses,
when j could see that they were help

away and relieved the kidney weak

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. IL
Justus R. Lloyd. Civil war veteran
and an. employee of the war depart
ment for many years, died at HIS
home in washington this week. The
announcement OF, the death of JUS
tus Lloyd, would mean nothing at
all to the public-at-iarge in Washing
ton, outside Of tho few relatives and
intimate friends. who knew him by
that name. But say that the white
haired man who fed the squirrels in
Lafayette Square" has passed away.
and he promtly identifies in the
minds OF hundreds Of Washington
JAMS, and probably thousands Of Wis
itors to the capitol.
Lafayette Square is directly OPP
posite the White House, and there
were few visitors, who. after a visit
to administration headquarters. did
not cross the street, to gaze on the
monument Of LAFAYETTE, and the
Koszciusko statue. that adorn one Of
Washington's most beautiful parks
Lafayette Square. II they die. they
were almost surc to meet on nict
days, white haired man. who usual

WOMEN SAFER
NOW IN STATE
Yost Law Makes West Virginia
More Habitable for Them
Says Miss Henderson.

The mountain sections and min
ing towns of West Virginia are safer
places for women to live in since the
state went dry, according to Miss
Evelyn Henderson, principal Of the
Patty G. Stockdale Memorial School
for Girls, at Lawson, w Va, who is
delivering addresses to women.s
societies In eastern cities.
There has been marked inn
provement since West Virginia went
dry. she says. Before the state
had prohibition women couldn't ven
ture along the railroad tracks be-
tween Lawson and Colcord on &C
count Of the gambling dens and
drunken men who frequented this
path.
That all different now, and there
is not half so much disorder in the
mining camps as formerly. OF
course. liquor is brought into: the
state; but there is not nearly, SO much
of 1t consumed. because the people
won't go to the trouble to get It.

YOUNG CHILDREN
In the South Are Exposed to
Accident and Disease De-
clares Investigator.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Exposure
to accident and definite tendency
to tuberculosis, are the penalties that
young children pay for working in
the cotton mills, according to Lewis
w. Hine, stan hoIbgrapher of the
National Child Labor Committee,
who has Just returned from severei
weeks of investigation in the South.
Il am shocked to find conditions still
$50 bad in North Carolina. The legal
age limit there for factories is 10
years. but from my study Of twenty
mills in North Carolina alone, be-
lieve that there are hundreds OF vi
olations, and that the 1910 census
figures which reported 1000 children
under IA In the cotton mills Of that
one state and 100 900 children under
IA in non-agricultural work through
out the country, are a conservative
estimate of the number Of young
children at work today. There are
still twenty other states besides
North Carolina in which the employ
ment Of children under IA in mills
or canneries is legal, so that the
physical danger and the lack OF cdn.
cation from premature work con-
tinue unchecked"
With these facts in mind the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee is
calling conference OF all inte.e.ed
in the protection of children, at
Washington on. january and 6. to
emphasize the need of a federal child
labor law. The speakers will I'M

bill which is on the calendar for

The Palmer-0wen bill was drafted
by the National Child Labor Com
mittee. and proposes q 14-year-old
limit for all children employed upon
factory. mill or cannery products
shipped in interstate commerce; II
limits the hours Of children IA to IS
in the same occupations to eight

ployment at night: and it prohibits

STATE Chill = ABOR
LAW TO Be CHANGED
BY the Coming Legislature.
What IS Being Advocated
Prevails with It.

NEW YORK, Dec 14.-It looks as
II West Virginia must either wake up
land change her child labor laws OF
be one of the states that have to be
lcoerced by the federal government In
to properly safeguarding her chill
idren," said Owen r. Lovejoy. gener-
al secretary Of the National Child La
Dor Committee. In discussing pro-
posed changes in the West Virginia
child labor law In their relation to
the Palmer-0wen bill now pending In
Congress. There are many additions
ito the West Virginia child labor law
to be urged at the coming session of
the legislature and among the most
important are the prohibition Of night
work by children under Is, the pro-
lhibition Of the employment of chill
dren under 16 in mines or uuarries,
and the provision for an S-hour day
for children under 16, all Of which
are embodied in the Palmer-O owen
federal child labor bill.
This proposed federal bill to reg
ulate interstate commerce in the pro-
ducts of child labor has already been
favorably reported by the House com
mittee on labor and has the support
of congressman of all parties and OF
many national organizations such as
the American Federation of Labor.
the Federal Council Of Churches of
Christ in America and the American
Medical Association besides the Ma
ttonal Child Labor Committee who
drafted the bill. 1t is said to repre-
sent the minimum provisions of; a
good child labor law and besides the
provisions named above prohibit In
terstate commerce in goods in the
production of which children under
"A have been employed in factories,
mills, canneries and workshops. There
are nine states that have all the pro-
visions of this bill already on their
statute books and only two states
that have none of its provisions.
II West Virginia does not pass the
proposed additions to her law and be-
comes as Mr.. Lovejoy put it, one Of
the states that have to be coerced by
the federal government. she will feel
the federal law more than most
states. There Is only one state be-
sides West Virginia that does not yet
regulate hours Of labor for children,
and most other important mining
states forbid the employment of chill
sdren under 16 in mines. while West
Virginia still uses boys OF IA and 5.
But there is reason to hope, accord
ing to Mr.. Lovejoy who believes the
outlook in West Virginia is good, that
when the legislature meets in Janu-
airy 1t will pass laws to bring West
Virginia up to the standard OF the
country. Then the Palmer-Owen
bill. If passed by Congress, will bring
to West Virginia no ruling not al
ready in force as a state law.

Miss Henderson describes some Of
the conditions which the miners and
mountaineers faced in the recent
strike. When the mines opened the
mountaineers left their homes and
got jobs in the camps" she says.
Some of them had been working
only two months when the strike
came and they were turned out Of
their homes. They couldn't go back
to the mountains. because they didn't
have anything to eat, so they lived
through the winter in tents.
Its. a bitter things for some of
these mountaineers to see corpora

norance of our language the poor
people really believe they are being
befriended."
Sec'y Wilson believes one of the
greatest hindrances to the use of the
Department of Labor as a free en-
ploy1nent agency is the lack of faci1i-
ties for advancing railroad fare to
job-seekers. To remedy partially this
situation he has written the Interstate
Commerce Commission asking if it
will approve of regulations with the
railroad companies to run excursion
trains to the grain fields and other
places where wOrkmen may be need
ed in numbers at reduced rates.

HEAVY ENLISTMENT
OF TROOPS FOR WAR
IN ST. JOHNS. N. F.

st. Johns, \. T.. December t4,-From
this city of $4,000 about 1850 men have
enlisted in the British army and navy,
1000 as soldiers and $50 as sailors This
is an average of one in every e5.
which, so far as is known here has
been exceeded only In Liverpool where
one person in every 10 has enlisted.
The ability of st. Johns to put this
force In the field Is aseribed by re-
cruiting offices to the fact that FOR
20 years denominationa1 schools and
colleges have maintained boys bri-
gades. When the call came four-fitths
of those who offered their services
either We're present or former members
of boys brigades and every officer APP
pointed for the regiment had been
trained III one of these organizations.
The latest information from England
is that the $40 men of the First New
Foundland contingent have been or
dered to Fort George. Invern esshire.
Scotland, for garrison duty and COM
pletion of their training and thIther
the second contingent win proceed
when sent overseas early next year.

COTTON OPENS
At AN ADVANCE
Slight Weakness Around
Middle of Day Is Soon
Overcome

New Orleans, December 14.--Cotton
opened at an advance today, but better
prices were met by increased selling
which caused slight weakness around the
middle of the day. After that the mar
ket gained strength on the continued
large export movement and closed within
point or two of the top, at net gain
for the session of to IS points
In the morning better cable news from
Liverpool than expected caused rise
of half dozen points in the face of
bearish comment regarding the monthly
consumption report issued by the census
bureau. Bulls, however. commended that
with consumption only 5000 bales lower
during November than for the same
month last year, the situation was en-
couraging among American mills.
The posting of the days cIearances,
coupled with talk of heavy end of De-
cember exports. caused quick turn in
the market. Total shipments for the day
We're 1868 bales while total receipts at

foreign exports were SODA bales making
