MRS. BARROW TELLS OF CH|LDREN'S AID
Club Women Hear Discussion of the Work Done
 Here

More than 1.7o0 dependent children have been cared for by the Alabama Children's Aid society since it's or sanization, according to statement made yesterday by Mrs Ralph Bar row in talk to members of the Axis club.
 This society was formed in 1917 be- cause of the obvious necessity for such an organization to look after the children of the state who have no homes, Mrs. Barrow stated.
 Those responsible for the begin ming of the society, as well as those who have since become identified with 1t, are the men and women from over the entire state most vltally in- terested in the welfare of children" she said. These big-hearted and broad-minded persons have helped in every possible way to enable the or ganization to fill it's place in the scheme of caring for dependent chill dren of the state. The society Is sup ported entirely by donations from in- terested citizens and receives nothing from the state.
 Of the 1,7o0 children cared for, 600 wtp could not be put back into their own were put into good homes, and the remainder were placed with relatives. The society, where practi- col, tries to maintain the family ties; hames are broken up only when noth- ing else can be done.
 Supervision Is one of the strong est works of the society. Super vlsors are sent to visit all children placed in homes and in that way con tinue to look out for their welfare.
 statistics tell ut that there are not less than 10000 dependent and neglected children in Alabama. The figures also show that only $500 are being reached in any definite way through the various children's asen- eies. The challenge of these children to our modem life-to you and to us is to provide for them in some way that they may grow to manhood ana womanhood as community assets, not liabilities"

AND FEIST
 TREE MOUNTAIN LION

A week ago last Saturday.
 F.. $. Strange SAW four mcun-
 tain lions in one group, out near
 Red Lake. He did not get 9
 shot at the animals that day, l but he was filled with a desire
 to get on their trail with a dog
 to follow the scent.
 Last Saturday, E. s. Strange and E. U. Patten caught the trail of a lion at about seven o'clock in the morning. MT Patten noted the direction the
 lion had taken and took a short cut to where he thought he had gone. MT. Strange, led by a shepherd and an insignificant little feist, followed the trail. The trail soon turned and this left MT. Patten out of the hunt. After following the trail for four hours, the dogs, with Mr. Strange close behind, ran un- der a large juniper tree, heavI fly coated with snow.
 Both dogs burst out the other side of the tree yelping as tho they were being eaten alive. Out came the lion also but he was not interested in the dogs, and was only desirous of get ting away. After trailing the beast for another hour the dogs treed him in a big pine. MT. Strange came up and was ale to see only the hind quarters of the animal, while the lion failed to see him. Not wishing ; to let him get away and force ! him to follow for an other hour or so, MT. Strange shot the lion through the hips. With a scream the big cat came around i the tree and down toward clawing and biting the air, while Strange continued to empty his 25 Remington into his hide. A shot in the head finished him. The cat was a young one but measured over five feet ill length.

PRICES ALMOST CUT IN HALE


On the first of this month, according to
Bradstreets index, there was recorded a
general price decline of As per cent from
the high level of the boom period. That
is to say, the peak prices, on an average
had been almost exactly cut in half. Or
looking at the situation from the other
end, the Bradstreet report showed that
prices stood, on May l. only 13 per cent
above the highest pre-war level of 1912
And since May 1, prices have settled
down a little further.
Doesn't that give one a grand and glo-
rious- feeling? To think that for only
$113, or possibly a cent or two less, you
can buy as much of the necessaries of life
as you could for 81 before the war!
But" every reader will reply in
stantly, you can't" And the sad fact
has to be admitted.
The figures quoted above do not lie,
but they are wholesale prices, the prices
paid by dealers, not the prices paid by
customers. The ultimate purchaser
knows only too well that very few com
modities reflect the big drop referred to-,
as far as he is concerned, and that many
commodities are still near the peak.
1t comes back to the same old story
the story of the retailer who either re
fuses to take his loss on high-priced
stock, or who, if he has profiteering ten
denotes, holds out for boom profits in a
slump period and hopes to continue those
DrOfits indefinitely
The actual or intentional profteers, no
doubt, are a minority, but they have
enough influence to retard the natural
subsistence of prices, to arouse public in
dignation against retailers in general
who do not deserve it, and by checking
defation to hold back business revival.
The quicker they take their loss-where
there is any loss to take-and start the
new deal, the better it viii be for every
body, including themselves.

HAD SUFFERED
SINCE A Child
Portland Woman Says Tan
lac Is the Only Thing She
Ever Found That
Helped Her

'Tanlac is the only thing l ever found
to help my stomach trouble, and ! had
suffered with it from childhood" was the
statement made by Mrs. Angus Peterson,
lifelong resident of Portland, living at /
Tyler street.
My food fermented in my stomach al
most as soon as l ate it. / suffered awful
pain and distress from bloating and my
heart palpitated so frightfully l couldn't
walk up the stairs without having to stop
and catch my breath. Many a night my
husband had to be up with me, and during
the day l felt more like staying in bed
than being up about the house. 1 also
suffered dreadfully from constipation
and spells of sick stomach, and was weak
and tired out all the time l had rheuma-
tism in my hips awful bad, and neuritis
in my arms that panied me so bad | could
scarcely sleep. Words can't fully describe
how dreadfully | suffered.
Il took my first Tanlac about three
years ago, and keep it on hand all the
time now. The medicine rid me entirely
of the neuritis and rheumatism, has re
Geved me of Indigestion and palpitatiOn,
and | am free from constipation for the
first time in years. / don't feel tired out
like l used to, but feel strong and full of
energy. l have already told a great many
people about Tanlac, for l never miss a
chance of recommending it."
Tanlac is sold in Brattleboro by the
BrattleborO Drug Co.-AdY.

THAT MAIDEN NAME.

Just now the women who believe that
the married woman should retain her
maiden name. instead of assuming the
name of her husband, are rejoicing in
a famous victory. Miss Ruth Hale whose
married name is Mrs. Haywood Broun,
has succeeded in having her maiden name
incorporated in a real estate deed, and
the deed has been duly accepted and filed.
1t reads to Haywood Broun and Ruth
Hale, his wife, ETC.. This is said to
mark an epoch in the triumphant fight
of woman for independence.
Miss Hale is president of the Lucy
Stone League, recently organized for en-
aiding married women to retain their
girlish cognomens. Such retention is sup
posed to prevent Toss of identity" in
marriage. Perhaps this is a very worthy
cause, but the caviling critic is inclined
to feel that it must be a very frail iden-
tity which can be so lost.
In any event it is interesting that the
subject is given prominence right now,
because there is visiting in America at
the present time one of the most famous
women in the world. Her fame will last
forever; long after all the lesser lights in
feminine accomplishment are forgotten.
Yet this woman uses her husbands
name, always. She does not even inject
her first name into current comment, and
it is doubtful if many persons of the
thousands who speak of her, read of her
and revere her have ever heard either her
first name or her maiden name. Yet her
identity lives and viii live She is known
simply as Madame Curie".

Carnivals Taboo.
Greenfield Recorder.)


The action of the Greenfield board of
selectmen in refusing to issue permits TO
any more travelling carnivals for the pres
ent season puts this town in line with a
very large number of communities who
have taken the action. The board was
moved to take the action which it did
for two reasons, the first being that all
carnivals have been found to have OBJ
jectionable features, and the second that
when industrial depression prevails it is
not the proper time for catchpenny at
fractions to visit us.
But whether we are depressed or pros
porous, the Objectionable features which
are common to this class of travelling
shows are sufficient ground on which to
rule them out, and the town would be
better off if future boards of selectmen
were to follow the policy laid down by
the present one. If they~relied solely on
the drawing powers of the entertainment
they furnish, carnivals would soon go
out of business, but the scheme by which
they appear under the auspices of some
local society is the germ of their success
in getting permits and the money of the
public money which, if it is to be spent
for entertainment, could more appropri-
ately go to local amusement enterprises.
The argument which applies to carni-
walls does not, however, apply to Circuses
of the better order. At least one of these
ought to be seen in Greenfield each sea
son and would do business enough to
warrant coming. If too rigid a policy on
the part of the sclectmen in the matter
of license fees is keeping the big circus
away, it ought to be changed. The alb
sence of the "one-hOrse" circus causes no
regret, but the boys and girls of Green
field ought to be enabled to see the real
article once a season without the neces-
sity of travelling to some nearby city.
