Welfare Of Children.

Forty years ago today the worlds
first child welfare society was organ
lied in the city of New York. 1t
named itself the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. Prior to It's origin chil-
dren in the hands OF unnatural par
ents, relatives and exploiters were
defenseless.
One summer day in 1874 charita-
bic workers visited woman dying
of tuberculosis in the -slums of New
York. She complained that she could
not die in peace because of the all
most constant cries of a child in an
adjoining room. a little waif, Mary
Ellen by name.swas found locked in
a bare room. Her head and body
were covered with bruises and cuts.
and in the room were found the
rusty shears with which her step
mother had been in the habit Of tor
turing lthe child. Stirred to the
depths OF their hearts the charity
workers appealed to many officials,
organizations. and influential citi-
zens, always to receive the disheart-
ening reply: Eve can do nothing
unless the child is brought to us le-
gally, and proof offered that an Of
Tense has been committed" 4
IT happened that there existed q
society for the prevention of cru
city to animals. AS last resort the
charitable workers turned there. and
in the dark days of the los" the
first legal protection given an abused
child was under the laws that pro-
tected dumb animals. That expert
encc set in motion the movement
that resulted in the first society in
the world for the prevention Of cru.
city to children.
Today the whole enlightened world
is arrayed in defense of its children.
Statute books fairly bristle with
formidable laws that offer protection
to their moral. mental and physical
welfare. With the pioneer society
as an inspiration, children's aid soci-
cites, human associations founding
hospitals and their like have sprung
up all over the world. In the United
States today there are about $50 So
|cieties whose purpose is the proven
ition of cruelty to children. while 1t
is estimated there are at least 100
more such societies scattered through
the civilized countries. Even Asiat-
les and Africans are now protecting
their youth of both sexes for if1hu-
man exploitation and abuse.
Curing its forty years OF benevo-
lent work. the New York Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren alone investigated about $780,
900 complaints that involved the vel
fare Of about 100000 New York
children under the age OF 16. Nearly
200. 900 of these were rescued from
immoral surrounding. physical cru
city, neglect and restitution. Every
state in the union has it's labor laws
which effects the 100000 Ameri-
can working boys and girls between
the ages Of 10 and 10, which the Ma
tional Child Labor Commission is
Iendeavoring to make uniform
throughout the nation. There are
children's courts to dispense justice
to 4 large part Of the %, o0O>juvenile
delinauents reported annually in this
country. There are homes for the
crippled and the deaf and dumb
and there are creches where the
working another may leave her chill
dren during the day while she is
outside of her own home earning a
livelihood.

Carranza is foxy old fellow. He
long since learned that tina American
government would not protect Amer
loans in Mexico and now he is trying
to bluff that government into the
belief that 1t would be wrong to
protect Americans on American soil.
He goes SO far as to declare that
would be an act of hostility to Mex
leo. The country now awaits the
outcome OF the bluff.

While Clarksburg churches are

doubts the fact that the Rev. DR.:

fertile field TO work in. should he
come here. This winter is the time
the Rev. Billy" Sunday was to come
here but he would not come without
the price. The labor is worthy Of
his hire but there are other things
to be considered in religion as well.
DR. Hamilton will doubtless be paid.

he asks for no such stupendous

The Best Cough Syrup Is
Easily Made at Home
Costs Little and Acts Quickly.

This recipe makes a pint of cough
pared with ordinary cough remedies. ht
stops obstinate coughs-even whooping
cough-in a hurry, and is splendid for
sore lungs, asthma, Group, hoarsenesa
and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of g~ranulated sugar with
" pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21h ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. Take a t~easpoonful
every one, two or three hours. Tastes
This takes right hold OF a cough and
1ates the appetite, and is slightly laxaf
tive-both excellent features.
Pinex, as perhaps you know, is the
Norway white pine extract, rich in
pine elements.
No other preparation will do the work
of Pinex in this recipe, although strained
honey can be used instead of the sugar
syrup, if desired.
Thousands of housewives in the United
States and canada now use this Pinex
and Sugar Syrup recipe. This plan has
often been initiated, but the old success

an unimperiled path between the Eng

TO HAVE PRETTY HAIR.

If your hair is not as soft and pref
ty, or as fresh and full as that of some
friend, do as she does-give it daily at
tention, just the same care you would
give a plant to make it healthy and
beautiful. Luxuriant hair-soft, fluffy.
thick and lustrous-is really a matter
of care. If it is too thin, make it grow.
If it is too dry and brittle, soften it
up-lubricate it. If you have dandruff
it is because the scalp is too dry and
flakes off.
Partisan Sage, an inexpensive tonic.
which you can get from any druggist,
or from J.. II. Hill & Son, is just what
you need-it softens the scalp, rour
ishes the hair roots, Immediately re-
moves dandruf, and makes the hair
fluffy, lustrous and abundant. Paris
ian Sage takes away the dryness, stops
Itching head, makes the hair twice as
abundant and beauties it until it is
soet end 1ustrous.
By the use of this helpful tonic any
woman can easily make her hair fluff
fly, soft and pretty.

WHY THERE is NO SEA FIGHT.

When the war broke out it was pop
ularly supposed that a decisive naval
battle would soon be fought l the
North Sea. So fixed, indeed, was this
expectation that hundreds of persons
on the adjacent coasts heard the boom
of great guns, and men of lively mag
ination gave vivid recounts of dread
naughts af1ame in the night. For days
after England declared war against
Germany there were rumors of fierce
engagements; the fact that the British
admiralty would give put no news was
interpreted as conclusive evidence
that very important news was in wait
ing.
Weeks have passed, however, with
no confirmation of the great sea fight
SO thai the world has at length settled
down t. the opinion that the North
Sea is really uneventful. AS to why
this should be, there are various sur
misses; but the simplest and most
plausible of them all is that the Ger
man feet is so much weaker than the
enemy, in point of numbers, h a it is
prudently hugging its home shores, or
perhaps clinging to the safety of the
Kiel Canal.
Great Britain's strength in this
quarter comprises twenty dread
naughts, twenty-five predreadnaughts,
four battle cruisers and fifteen ar
mored cruisers; while Germany has
thirteen dreadnaughts, twelve pre-
dreadnaughts, three battle cruisers
