of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes
J. O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con

The following is from an address de
livered by Anna Shaw at the recent
meeting of the Association at Portland.
' "When the cry of race suicide is -heard
men arraign women for race decadence,
it would be well for them to examine
oonditione and causes and base their at
tacks upon firmer foundations of fact
Instead of attacking women for their in
terest in public affairs and relegating
S.m tn fHair nhiMron thmr kitr.han. and
their church, they will learn that the
kitchen ie in politics; that the children's
physical, intellectual, and moral well
being ie controlled and regulated by law;
that the real cause of race decadence is
not the fact that fewer children are horn
but the more fearful fact that, of those
born, so few live; not primarily the n
lect of the mother, but the neglect of men
themselves of their duty as citizens and
public officials. If men hsnestty desire
to prevent the causes of race decadence,
let them examine the accounts of food
adulteration, and learn that from the
effect of impure milk alone, in one city
6600 babies died in a eingl
year. Letthem examine the water
supply, so impregnated with
disease that in some cities there is con
tinual epidemic of typhoid fever.
Let them gaze upon the filthy street
from which perpetually arises contagion
of scarlet fever and diptheria. Lst them

find city after city, with no play-places
for children, except the streets, ajleys and
lanes. Let them examine the school
buildings, many of them are badly lighted
unsanitary and without yards. Let them
turn to the same cities, that from five to
a score of a thousand children secure only
half-day tution because there are not ad
equate school house facilities. Let them
watch these half-day children playing in
'the streets and alleys and viler places,
until they have learned the lessons which
take them to ever-growing numbers of
reformatories, whose inmates are in
creasing four times as rapidly as the pop
ulation. Let them follow the children
who survive all these ills of early child

The new High School song books have

The State University Qlee Club is

Let them behold the legalized saloons
and the the dens of iniquity where so
many of the voting-population spend the
money that should be used in feeding,
housing and caring for their children.
Thn. if hK m.ntnrs of women's teluhs
and mothers' meeting do not find sufficient
cause for race degeneracy' where they
have power to control Conditions, let them
turn to lecturing women. It ie infinitely
more important that a child should should
be well born and well reared, that that
more children shall be born. It ie better
that one well-born child shall live than
that two shall be born and one die' in in
fancy. That which is desirable is not
What the greatest possible number of
children should be born into the world; the
"The great fear that the participation
of women in public affairs will impair the
quality and character of the home service
is irrational and contrary to the tests of
experience. Does an intelligent interest
in me aaucauonor a cm Id render a woman
less a mother? Does the housekeeping
instinct of a woman, manifested in a de
sire for clean streets, pure water, and
unadulterated food, destroy her efficiency
as a home-maker? Does a desire for an
environment of moral and civic purity
show neglect of the highest good of the
family? It is the 'men must fight and the
women must weep' - theory of life which
makes man fear that the large service of
woman will impair the high ideal of home;
The newer ideal, that men must cease
fighting and thus remove our prolific
cause for woman's weeping, and that
they shall together build up a more per
fect home and a more ideal government.
is infinitely more sane and desirable. Par
ticipation in the larger and broader con
cams of the state will increase instead of
decrease the efficiency of motherhood
and tend to develop that self-control that
more perfect Judgement, which is want-
in much of the home training of today.

The numbers vary from time to time.
Occasionally parents send word of
rudeness to which they have been sub
jected at the hands of school children on
the way to and from school Nothing
would please the managemeit of the
school more than to put a stop to this,
and we shall indaed be grateful if any one
seeing or suffering such rudeness will
kindly learn the names of the offenders
and report them to the office of the super
intendent Investigation of these cases
usually reveal the fact that there ie little
or no control of the child and as a result
his hoodlum tendencies are encouraged.
It may be added that children between
the ages of 8 and 14 who are not in
school can be forced in by filing complaint
through the district attorney, a thai
parent is guilty of criminal negligence if .
he does not keep his child in schcol.
