w. C. T. U.

The meeting with Mrs. D. l.. McRae yesterday afternoon was quite a sue cess as to attendance considering weather conditions.
 It seemed a pity that every woman in town could not have heard the program, so full of vital interest," that of Child Labor.
 To us who are so far away from factory and mine, do not realize what a vast army of children are forced to work instead of attending school or having any good time" that should be their rightful heritage.
 We little dream that if a procession of these child workers should pass in review before us, one a minute, day and night, it would take five years, and when we ask why a great rich country like ours allows this gruesome procession of the very members of society who should be the most joy ous, the most hopeful for our future, we are met with the curious attitude of government, federal and state, to- ward the children and toward things that make up the industries of the country. In other words greed for gain" holds this protection of child hood back.
 Let every body interested in child life write their representative in Congress to support the Ketting Owens bill now pending, and which was blocked yesterday by some Nr- ginian.
 Let us look after the censorship of moving pictures, too, for they are eith- a "savour of life unto life or of death unto death."

take the last look in the face of their little daughter and sister. Then we expect to meet our precious darling and clasp her again to our bosom. Sleep on little one and take thy rest. We would not bring you back to suf- fer and die again, for Jesus has said suffer the little ones to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" We know he has said that he would gather the lambs in his arms and carry them in His bosom. Then weep no more, parent, for Little Ella May is safe in Jesus bosom, resting in His arms of Love, where she is safe from the storms of this sinful world. Let us look in our sorrow to Him who has said, "When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee. and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee for I am the Lord thy God" Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Remember God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes and there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.
 Farewell little darling, till we meet again. Little Ella May is gone but not forgotten. Gone from this land of toll and pain. But in heaven we shall meet her There we'll never part again.
 One less at home,- The charmed circle broken, a dear face Missed day by day from its accustom
 ed place, But cleansed and saved and perfected
 by grace.
 One more in Heaven.
 One less at home,- One voice of welcome hushed and ev-
 ermore. One farewell word unspoken on the
 shore Where parting comes not one soul
 landed more.
 One more in Heaven.
 One less at home,- A sense of loss that meets us at the
 gate,
 Within a place thrilled and desolate, And far away our coming to wait.
 One more in Heaven.
 One more at home,- That home where separation can not
 be.
 That home whence none is missed eter-
 nally. Lord Jesus! Grant us all place with
 Thee
 At Home in Heaven.
 Her Aunts, Ella and Lena.

IN MEMORY

The many friends of Little Ella May Barr, living a few miles east of Pres colt, will regret to learn of her death which occurred Jan. 15, in the after noon at 7:30 o'clock, at her home after a lingering illness of two weeks with la grippe and pneumonia.
 Ella May was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Barr and was 10 years III months, weeks and 4 days old. Ella May was an intelligent and obe- dient child and beloved by all whom she knew. The funeral services were conducted by Bro. McLanahan and the remains were laid to rest in Mt. Nebo cemetery.
 Like a beautiful rosebud she wa5 plucked and waited away to a bl gh, Isunny cline, where flowers never lie while the world seems more dull and gloomy because of the going away of Little Ella May, Heaven must seem sweeter and nearer.

pOTLTRY ON THE FARM

No other form of intensive agricul-
 ,ro is better suited to help feed our
 an;dlv increasing population than tonltry raising. A very small area {Ievoted to poultry raising will pro- [luee enough to supply a family. Could
 be entire farm produce as much ac- ord;ng to the area as that which is
 ,sed to raise poultry there would be
 arcer crops and better profits for ihoso who till the soil. A small flock [f fowls even under conditions of low
 Drces and little attention given to
 bo fowls may afford considerable
 revenue.
 The fowls on the average farm us ,ollv have few restrictions. They uust let the crops and the stored brain alone, but with this exception kbey may have the courtesy of the Farm, roost where they choose and eat What they can find.
 With better care and attention the Farm fowls could produce more wealth hnd be a better source of profit on the Earm. It would only be necessary to bet good foundation stock and use care 6n selection and feeding, and see to it khat the birds are properly housed and fed. A dozen hens from a strain of heavy layers night be more profitable Ehan two dozen of the type often Found in the farmyard.
 This is the season for increasing the bock. There will be a demand for Fresh eggs and poultry on the table of khe farm manager. It now seems like hy that the market will take care of Imore than has been produced in the bast. A few dollars per week from Ehe hens will go long way toward meeting the expense of necessities Farm and Ranch.

tute which permits the storing of pro- perty near the right of way and if it can be shown that it was started by a spark, the company must pay. Mir. Barnes lays this law at the door of insurance companies, who pay the claims and then sue the railroad.
 One of the most lengthy paragraphs of this article is against the law which permits personal injury suits being brought in any county of the state, and dismissed when the jury does not look right, with the privilege of be- ing rebrought within a year. The writer points out that the plaintiff in these cases cannot be forced to give bond for costs, and cases have been known to be brought several times on the same action and even though the railroad was the winner, it must pay all the witness and court costs.
 A final fling is made at the full crew law which requires three brake men on freight trains of over p ears. Mr. Baker says this, and similar un- necessary laws, costs the railroads $300,000,000 per annum. and the third brakeman is not only useless, but eau ses the railroad to pay additional personal injury claims each year.

are inclined to agree with the view expressed in recent Baltimore star, which said in a recent editorial:
 'If Dr. Harry J. Haiseden, storm center of the defective-baby contro- versy, can succeed in arousing the same widespread interest in the abo- lition of the secrecy which hedges the practice of medicine and surgery. the transient fame which he won thru his action in the Bollinger case will as- sume the character of permanence. What he contended for before the eth ical relations committee of the Chicago Medical Society is precisely what en- frightened professional and public op- inion believes to be a most necessary reform"
 The case is one in which publicity is the surest measure of public safety The principal involved is one that ought to be openly discussed. The the doctor assumed was properly assumed with full knowledge of the community. We cannot afford to have such vital issues decided be- hind closed doors in order to preserve the sacred COW of the medical pro- fession-its ethics.-Chicago Evening Post.

EDWARD LIVINGSTON TRUDEAU

l When Dr. Edward Livingston Tru- [deau, himself a sufferer from tubercu- fosis, sought health in the Adirondak nountains in 1884. there were avail Ihble in this country practically no provisions for the treatment and con- frol of tuberculosis. The establish |ment ot the Adirondak Cottage Sana- Eorium at Sarunac Lake in New York Enarked the erection of the first insti- | button devoted 10 the fresh air treat |ment of tuberculosis and stimulated 1 |the movement for sanitoriums, hospi- Fals and dispensaries devoted wholly To this disease Now, after thirty |years, there are approximately 5I5 |Sanatoriums and hospitals with ca |pacity of 5000 beds, 450 tuberculosis more than 1000 physi- |clans and over 4,000 nurses devoted wholly to the treatment and study of Tuberculosis. More than 400 open-air schools attest the practicality and sue |cesS of Trudeau's idea. All are eX- |preSSlons of the influence of the Adj |rondack Cottage Sanatorium. In con- |hectlon with the sanatorium should be mentioned the work of the labora- |tory established by Trudeau at Sara nae Lake. During the last two dec ades monumental and important con- tnoutatons to the study of tubercu- loSlSl, particularly the field of immu- hty, have emanated from this labora- tory, Under the guidance of Dr.

CRITICISES ARKANSAS RAIL
 ROAD LAW.


 The current issue of American Jus tice, St. Louis monthly publication, contains rather lengthy article from the pen of D. c. Baker, the editor, in which he criticises the legislative bodies of western states for their ap- parent unfairness to railroads. While Arkansas is not mentioned, the whole article appears to apply to this state, as all the laws mentioned are on the Arkansas statute books.
 Mir. Baker presents some new argu- ments against old laws, many of which are refreshingly original Mir. Baker quotes a prominent railroad man as favoring fed aral regulation without conflicting state legislation as the in troduction for this article, and then takes up and discusses the laws which to him appear objectionable. He says most of the state laws are passed for personal spite, or for the benefit of communities. He classifies the eX- penditure of the millions of dollars required under these acts as waste ful, and robbery on the part of the legislators.
 The first Arkansas law Mr. Baker deals with IS the act of the 1913 legislature requiring the railroads to repair all equipment damaged in Ark ansas within the state. MT. Baker says this is selfish measure to have work done in local shops, in order to provide work for a greater number of men, there and without regard to the cost of maintaining a larger num- Der of shops, or the cost of transport ing the repair work to them. He says the railroads should be permitted to repair their cars where it can be done the cheapest, as the individual is permitted to do.
 The full crew act comes next, three switchmen being required in switching crews. Mir. Baker says the third switchman was provided for public safety, where a watchman, who would draw a much less wage, would provide far greater safety.
 Twice a month pay days are attack ed not only because of the additional ok-keeping and expense attached to them, but because employees take a lay off after pay day, especially the negroes, and among laborers it usual ly means two drunks a month instead of one.
 The law requiring the railroads to maintain a constant lookout and re- moving responsibility for contributory negligence, according to Mir. Baker, places a premium on trespassing. He charges that this law was passed at the instance of damage suit lawyers, and cites instances where drunken men have been killed on the railroad tracks, even though they had been warned to stay away, and the company had to pay heavy damages to their rel atives. In one instance the widow of one so killed, had just sent him away with the statement that she wanted to see him no more.
