In tho nlnotoonth cen tury, half-sclontlflc, half-humnultarlan, society learned to regard Itself as tho universal parent of tho next genera tion, with common responsibility for ovory Individual child.

Thero aro thousands not in school. Tfero aro countless other thousands not getting the full boneflt of school because tlioy nro un derfed and poorly clothed. Tho futuro of tho nation doponds on all, theso as truly as upon tho child in tho com fortablo homo. As thoso who'asltod tho president to call this conforenco say, tho problem of tho child Is indeed "worthy of national consideration." Tho fish commission of tho United States planted 2,871,000,000 fish in tho harbors, lakes, rlvors and streamb of tho country laBt year. That Is a big lot of fish and seems to Justify tho com mlsslonor'n 'assertion that It will not bo long boforo everybody can go a fishing with tho chnnco of catching something. Ho says in tlmo, nnd not go long n tlmo nt that, ho expects tho wators of this country to bo as popu uous as thoy woro in tho early dnya. To this end, sayn tho Indianapolis Star, hdwovor, ho must hnvo tho hoip of stato authorities to enforco tho fish laws and prevent tho wholesalo de struction of fish by dynamiters nnd Bnlnors. Stato Cammlrjlonor Sweoney is right in upholding tho ncod of aetlvo official work In this lino. Hooker T, Washington makes Hits strong statement concerning tho offect of thoktompornnco movement In tho south: "Since tho emancipation proc lamation by Abraham Lincoln thero has boon no bonont conferred upon' tho negroes of tho south equal to that conferred by tho closing up nf ttio bar rooms throughout thoso southern Btntca." Ho urgos his colored broth ren of tho south to help In ovory way In tho upholding and enforcement of theso laws and to rofuso to patroulzo "blind tigers," Washington well knows whero ono of tho chief dangors to his pcoplo lias.

THIS ISLAND SOBER LOCAL OPTION CUTS DOWN NEW FOUNDLAND'8 DRINK DILL. St. Johns tho One Wet Spot That City Now Talks of Closing Its Saloons In the Wild Days of Heavy Drinking. St. Johns, N. V, Thoro 1b now an Interesting oxporlment taking shapo In Newfoundland which promises to bo of special Importance to tempornnco workers tho world ovor. It Is nothing less than to put tho city of St. Johns undor tho local option or porHiiaslve law, known In Canadn as tho Scott net, and by this means bring about virtual prohibition, becnuuo, whllo tho impor tation of spirituous liquors will still bo poBBlblo, tholr sale will bo prohibited oxcept for medlclnnl or mechanical purposes. In 1872 tho local option law was first enacted in Nowfoundlund, nnd tho Initial move for Ub enforcement was mado by tho hamlet of Hregus being iiturted appropriately onough, by n man named Wnterhouso. This law provided that any towiiBhlp could by n two-thirds voto decroo against tho nclo of liquor therein, though tho Im portation of liquor from abroad or from other sections, for the personal use of residents was Btlll allowed. Tho consumption of UquorH of all qualities In tho colony in 1871 wub 212,610 gal- Ions, Tho population of tho colony then was 101,374, so tho consumption was 1.32 gallons per capita annually. Tho consumption of lquoi-B In 1908 was 153,427 gallons, Tho population now Is ostlmntcd nt about 213,000, It bolug 220,1182 by the cousus of 1001, bo that tho consumption of liquor is only ,G3 gallons por capita nnnunlly, or. oxactly ono-halt of what It was 37 years ago. Tho drink statistics of Newfound land, us cotnpnred with other coun tries, show It to hoithu Boborest coun try In tho world. Practically tho wholo Island, excopt St. Johns, lu under locnl option, for tho temperance sontimcnt gradually becatuo strong enough to wlpo out tho two-thirds clause and sub stlluto n olmplo majority vote, and as tho yenrs pnssod tho spread of local option grow genornl. If local option should bo carried lu St. John;., It would mean not alouo tho closing of tho Rnloons there but a Htoppngu of tho uso of liquor In tho rest of the Island oxcept by importing It from abroad, ns It Is now obtained almost wholly from St, Johns. Fifty years ngo Nowfoundlnndors woro much addicted to tho uso of In toxicants. In thoso dnyB every vossol ownoi- umoug tho coast llsliormcn lnld In a puncheon of rum (100 gallons) for winter consumption, as regularly as he did any article of food. If ho was atlll moro prominent he brought llouiQ two puncheons, This liquor wan used ns llbornlly then as "sott drlnkB" nro now. Uvory man omployod about his vosuol or promises took dally his three "horn" of liquor. Ho utartod with liln "morning' whon ho began work; had a "lovelur" at U o'clock, or boforo noon,, and n "sundown'' about C p. m., whllo many took a "nightcap" also boforo going to bod. Kvory day at tho hours namud n norvant mnd would make tho rounds .with n Jar of rum, u basket of broad cut Into chunks nnd a pewter mug; and each man would help himself to his "nip" and his "grog bit," us tho broad was called. Fishermou took Jars of rum in their boats when thoy wont out fishing, us thoy taku kettles of tea now; and It wub not unusual for them to drink n quart a day without hurt to themselves. Uvory sailor took his gallon Jar of rum to tho lco fioldu In the seal hunt of tho early spring, and tho ship Itself was supplied on nn oqually generous scale. Shipwrights stipulated lu their agreements that MINISTER tholr dnlly wage was to ho so many shillings and n bottle of rum. Black smiths nnd snllmnkcru mudo similar contracts. Yet nobody ovor got renlly drunk, old-timers say, except onco a year, on St, Stophon'a day, which Is tho day nftor Christmas and which wns tho oc caslon chosen for scalers to sccuro their places on board their ships. Then men Hocked to tho-principal sealing ports from all sections of tho Island. After signing articles with his own shlppor each man mado tho rounds of tho town, asking other sklppera for places, who knowing tho practtco, would express themselves ns unnblo to gtvo u berth, but would nsk each to take n glass of liquor. Uy ovcnlng they wero all usually lighting drunk and u disturbance wns not uncommon. ADD3 TO HEARERS BY ADS. Pastor of Georgia Church Use3 Press - to Good Advantage. Gnlnosvlllo. On. Itov. T. M.

Two steam saw blades wore broken before Becker dis covered the nature of tho obstruction. Then the heavy elm trunk, eight inches in diameter, was split with axes and the mulo shoo camo to light. It was so firmly Imbedded that It was Impossible to pull it out.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex clusively from, roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless. TJ'he reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
