Giving the Youngsters a Chance.

tics as to the proper training and care
of the infant OF tender years, and the way
some Of the daily papers and some of the
women's magazines are going on over the
"better babies, one would think that babies
had Just become fashionable, after years of
unpopula1Ity.
The people who live in the big towns and
who are able to keep in touch with all the
fads and the faddists, may get lot OF
amusement out of the baby shows, and the
baby parades, and get chance at pulling
prize or two for their own off spring. But
the country babies, and the children who have
not been in the baby class for some years, are
the ones we would like to see little interest IN.
1t isn't an uncommon sight to see In ones
travels along the rural roads, little children
who look utterly tagged out; whose clothes
are shabby, whose little bodies are lean almost
to gauntness; and we don't have to look far
afield to learn the reason: both parents IN the
field and the little ones left to get along as
best they may, until it is time for meal.
All these are not the children of poverty
stricken people. Sometime the parents own
their own little farms, and are free from debt
i But they are not able to give the children
what children really need.
Here's a splendid opening for some of our
women who are always ready to take up a
good work
A centrally located settlement" house. in a
spot that would be easy of access for those
who were to benefit would be a splendid thing
for the little chaps who have to keep house"
alone, while the parents are at work IN the
field and you will never know just how many
there are of these little ones, until you hit the
by-ways, of the much travelled roads,
Books, pictures, toys and games of the
simpler sort would be hailed with delight, by
o1l;1 l. o1...
one member of the club could take charge for
a week at a time or for a lesser period If
you want to know the welcome you would
get, try dropping a few books, or package
with few little trifles from the ten cent
store, to a group Of these little chaps, and
see what you will see.
It's worth trying, anyway, and it would be
a splendid thing to start soon, among the
country children who would have less dread
of the long hot summer days, when it IS too
hot to be out of doors, and too close to stay in.
The plan might be elaborated to include
simple sewing classes for the girls, one day in
the week. and boys are not averse to making
efforts at carpenter work, when there is some
one interested and sympathetic enough to
show them how.
Some of those astute foreigners who have
made such gladstone fortunes, in American in
dustres, can certainly work on economical
plans. For instance IN the investigation into
the so-called Chicken Trust it comes to light
that cement was a favorite breakfast food for
the chickens, when they were on their last
lap from the coop to the scales, for the final
purchaser.
Mr.. Roosevelt also gets more fun out of
political campaign than any man who has
yet taken to that sort of thing for a living,
or an amusement.

ads. for liquor business. In at least three
Georgia daily papers, and number of small
weeklies, is the adj Of a man whose name con-
jures up Sin quart bottles, Or bulk" and that
there may be no error, his we'll known photo
graph is also used in the adj. But-he adver-
tises boxing meets, and athletic sports" and
it would seem he has established ''club"
(athletic, of course) in every town of any
size, where he was formerly known only to
the patrons of the Cocker" club.
That German who has just been decorated
by the Kaiser, 'for work done in the United
States" said work consisting of blowing up
bridges, etc, will make lot of us wonder
what will be done in the way of reward to
those German beasts who have been cutting
off the arms and legs of the little Belgians,
and dropping bombs on the sleeping English
children.
A New York heir objects to a paralyzed
man acting as executor of an estate. Some
folks never know when they are we'll off;

the funds he was to execute "on."

garbage can would be abolished, and crema-

itants to take their own trash there, when the
need arose.
A New York storekeeper sold 10 cents
worth of goods on Sunday; he was fined $40,
in spite of the protests of his five children,
and was also sent to jail for five days; and
the chances are he will hate nickels and dimes
as long as he lives.
Henry Ford has set bad precedent to
other aspirants for Presidential honors.
Peace ships and such, as preliminaries to the
regular candidate Advertising cost too much
for the average political candidate.
If Kentucky is dry" we wonder where the
horse racing winners spend their winnings,
and on what? Juleps and races were the
stand-bys for so long, the State must not
''look like ITSELF" with one-half the JOY gone.
Womens clubs to agitate against boxing,
we are told. Well, why don't the men go one
better, and agitate against bridge, fashion
shows, and the like? They cost sight more
than the boxing bouts.
"Absolute prohibition in Georgia" seems
to have been a good thing for two sets of
people: the druggists selling patent medicines,
and the express companies who build annexes
for the overflow of booze.
Speaking of preparing this country for a
possible war, one realizes that it will be the
Navy that will be looked to to repel invaders
and yet we read that six u. S. battIeships
