Homer Croy In Everybody's. "Over

the shop there as she has here. She
has a little cage down in one corner,
where she is bottled up as II she were

have any light housework done on his
hands he thrusts one Of them through
the bars, while the proprietor hurries
up with a newspaper for him to read.

cure girl was working on us. In Eng

PUTTING BUSINESS RIGHT
WITH THE PUBLIC.

A few years ago some big industriai
organizations and certain railroads en-
ployed business tactics which, accord
ing to the popular idea, would make
the financial adventures Of Pizarro,
Morgan or Captain Kidd look as anna
flourish as the verbal exploits Of Bobby
Make-Believe.
All are more or less acquainted with
the details. We win concede that there
were some glaring abuses, but the pub
Lie when It came to apply q remedy ig-
nored the fact that these were peculiar
to comparatively few institutions and
instead Of tackling the trouble where
It lay furiously assailed everything
classifable as business-the trust mag
nate, the Independent manufacturer
ready and anxious to obey the law, the
small retailer, a law abiding and use
full citizen-the innocent and the guilty
suffering alike. Seemingly the law was
invoked not to regulate, but to perse-
cute.
There could be but one result. Bust
ness was demoralized, and the whole
country has felt the evil effects. Now
the public Is beginning to realize its
error and In rather grudging way n
making some concessions.
Business Is being permitted to speak
for itself, and movement has been In
stituted by the leading business men
Of the country under the title Of the
National Industrial Conservation Move
ment for the purpose of repairing the
damage that has been done. Nothing
revolutionary Is contemplated. The
plan Is simply to educate the public by
taking 1t into the business mans conf
dence. Meetings will be held In vari-
Gus trade and Industrial centers. All
classes Of citizens win be invited. The
purpose Of these meetings Is to give the
public a new and correct viewpoint as
to the effects Of drastic legislation and
restriction of business on the prosper
ity Of the country. Every effort win
be made to give the public a clear view
Of the problems and difficulties which
beset business.
Special favors are not sought through
these meetings. only fair play. 1t Is
believed that once the citizen grasps
the situation his whole attitude toward
business will change and that he will
readily cooperate toward bringing
about better conditions.
Commercial and other civic organiza-
lions and the local press are already
showing great interest In this move
ment, and II Is reasonable to believe
that much good will come from tt

Room For Thrift.

The American Society For Thrift Is
sounding a warning that should not go
unheeded. The statistics 1t has gath
cred indicate how reckless we are with
our money and how little we lay up for
q rainy day. We are pre-eminently a
nation Of spenders who believe In liv-
ing while we live.
Statistics show that ninety-f1ve Of
every hundred Americans who reach
the age of sixty are dependent upon
their daily earnings or on others for
support. The total, Of course, includes
wives, mothers and daughters who had
not tried nor expected to accumulate
competency. But after they are, elm

cause and its psychological antecedent.
1t is always best to have proper con-
Germ for the supernatural eausatiOn.
1t is imperative that the eyes of the
newly born be treated at birth to pre-
vent infants "sore eyes," known to
science as ophthalmia neonatorum, a
sequel of genito-urinary gonorrhea.
This is one of the many manifestations
of the eommonest social disease. Too
much emphasis cannot be put upon the
necessity of medicinal treatment of the
eyes of every infant at birth. Medical
science holds the opinion that no ex-
euse should be accepted for failure to
observe the foregoing. 1t is not mat
ter of consideration of reputation nor
of character of parents but it is the
law of science that MUST be obeyed.
Much socalled rheumatism is the con-
tinuation of the undermining of the
system that is a "blind" form of So

as Gonorrheal rheumatism and syphil-
itie rheumatism, remote effects of social
diseases as are loeomotor ataxia, GER
tain gummatOus tumors, some forms of
heart disease and other functional and
organic maladies.
A little reflection will reveal the folly
of regarding the social diseases as of
trifing import, as some say, that will
