"Ghild Betterment and Social Welfare, ' published by the child betterment bureau, incorporated So West Washington street, Chicago. makes an appeal to the press in a recent issue to emphasize the increas- ing number of deaths of small children as
 result of their parents using poisonous
 fly killers. Most of the victims are be-
 tween the ages of 1 and 8 years In a period of four months, from July to Oc- tober, there were 47 such cases reported, of which 10 proved fatal. Indiana leads the list of states with eight cases of child poisoning from this cause. There was no case reported in Alabama during that time. The authorities of South Africa have prohibited the sale of fly poisons that contain arsenic and 1t is hoped that remedial legislation will be passed in this country to prevent the setting of .poison taps for babies. Persons interested in preventing the sale of poisons dangerous to children are requested to send their protests to the publishers of Child Bet terment.'

Who longs to dwell amid bucolic scenes And breathe the sweetly perfumed coun- try air.

Or sees the smiling plains in beauty spread.
 But on a day when spring comes back
 again And penetrates the busy hives of men, And in sad hearts awakes the glad refrain First heard when youthful loves and
 hopes begin, The charm of rural lanes where feathered

WAR ECHOES

New York Telegram: Lord Kitchener s report to the House of Lords did not have a cheering sound to those persons who look for an early ending of the war. It was a plain, straight rehearsal of what had been done, adding not one whit to published details.
 If memory serves Lord Kitchener's orig inal statement was that the conflict might last three years. and he started building his army on that basis.
 Lord Curzon was somewhat querulous in wanting to know definitely how many men Lord Kitchener wanted, but he did not find out. Censorship was evidently working even in the upper chamber.
 It was strange to see Curzon in the light of heckling Kitchener. They had met before. in India, where one was viceroy and the other commander in chief of the they might have become brothers-in-law, but K. of K. is still bachelor.
 But back to the subject. The lords learned little from the taciturn man of war, who wore his khaki when addressing the House, and the peers have to do what the British are willing to, and that is leave it to Kitchener
 Peter MacQueen in the National Maga- zine: I am coming home for the winter, and will be in Boston almost as soon as this letter. My experiences in the French army convince me that the French have left nothing to chance. They are the best prepared of all the nations of Europe. not even excepting the Germans. Take the society called Les Femmes de France-the women of France. It prob- ably numbers 15,Oo6,00O members, that is every female in the republic, from to 95 years of age. This wonderful organization of all the females of a race is, I believe, not equalled even by the organization of the Kaisers army. From the nobility of France to the poorest seamstress in a garret every female of France is today giving money, work, clothing, food, brains to help the injured of their army. I think they will effect enough of extra cures to put new army in the field of men who in other wars would have died, to equal the army of Kitchener or all the reserves of the Emperor William.
 There is not railway station nor cross road where a train stops but has a com mittee of Les Femmes de France. These women wait on the badly wounded, some- times take them off the trains to their houses or to local hospitals. They give | coffee, bread and delicacies to the brave suffering fellows from the front. Even plain housewives who have never seen a wounded man before will lift stretcher and soothe shattered man and give him care that would do credit to the best Red Cross nurse. I saw 40 or 50 of such women in one long splendid vigil look out for the needs of 12,00o of the wounded from the battlefield near Rheims

 Mobile Register: The opponents of the ship purchase bill are much disturbed lest the government should get into trouble when the purchased vessels begin carrying cotton to Germany and Austria; but they do not explain how it is that American citizens can ship cotton to Germany, but the government, that is simply another

 of the opponents of the shipping bill is I fanciful and apparently is gotten up to alarm the il-informed.

England Refuses to
Believe Germans Have
Won Serbian Campaign
Rr 4alncintcf Prfts

London. Nov. 20, 1905 P. M.-The
British public is not inclined TO grant
the German contention that the Ser
bian campaign of the central powers
has been brought to a successful con-
clusion. The hope is expressed here
that the wintry weather will give time
for reinforcing the Anglo French
assume the offensive before the in
vaders have consolidated their po-
sitions in Serbia. Russia also is
counted on to play part in these
operations.
In the meantime the only active
military operations seem to be center
ing around Monastir, the fate of which
is obscure. The many contradictory
reports on this subject vary from the
| assertion that the city is still in the
hands of the Serbians to the claim that
the Bulgarians, accompanied by de-
tachments of Austrians and Germans,
have occupied the city.
Farther to the north lit is reported,
the Serbian armies, divided into two
sections, are retreating into Albania
and Montenegro 1t is not apparent
be sent against the Anglo-French lines
north of Saloniki, but at the other
extreme of the Balkan front the
Montenegrins are expecting a heavy
attack from the Austrians.
The entente ministers at Athens are
said to have received the reply of
Greece to their second note. Greece
is reported to have promised to meet
all demands which do not threaten to
compromise her neutrality.
An unmistakable lull prevails along
| the eastern front. From the west
come official reports of a lively air and
I sea skirmish off the Belgian coast.
