MISS CAIN ENDORSED Miss Dooley Writes in tbe Constitution of tar Cncidacy. SHE IS VERY STRONGLY ENDORSED Miss Caln is Peculiarly Fitted For Place of Assistant Librarian. Her Pros pects of Appointment Good. Last Sunday’s Constitution contains the following article relative to Miss Edna Cain’s candidacy for the place of assistant librarian. It appeared on the society page and is from the pen of Miss lama Dooley: The fact that publicity has been given the application of Miss Edna Cain for the position of assistant state librarian will increase the interest already cen tered in that appointment, and State Librarian Brown will have added to his already voluminous number of applica tions the strongest indorsements from the friends of Miss Cain, who are rep resented in every district in Georgia. She is the associate editor of The Chat tooga News, one of the strongest weekly publioations of the state press, and through her meritorious work, as well as her womanly attractions, she is one of the most popular young women in Georgia. Her supporters in hei present candidacy for the state lihrarianahip are among Georgia’s most eminent men, who espouse her cause as that of the brilliant, capable and deserving woman. There has probably never been an in stance in the state where such a young woman, through her own merit, and in the limitations of her surroundings, has more indelibly impressed upon a people her strength, merit and capacity to fill any position to which she aspires than has Miss Cain. She has not come be fore the public in the attitude of the woman aggressively seeking her rights; she has not become notorious by any extreme measures, by which she might have provoked recognition for her genius. She has unconsciously and quietly, through the columns of a small weekly paper given evidence of mind, ability and strength of character that have made her a subject of enthusiastic comment among her friends interested in her career, and a subject of study to those in the development of woman in her legitimate sphere. Miss Cain is the embodiment of that type of woman that in a bread-winning career can not only uphold the dignity of her sex, but, in her example of suc cess, uplift and elevate young women aspirants who must become self-re liant. In the course of her yet short career, she has attained her prominence in a manner so womanly as to command the respect and admiration of men and make proud of her the women drawn toward her by their just appreciation of her ability, and the refined gentleness of her character. Since the passage of.tbe famous Dortch bill, Miss Cain, who was deeply inter ested in its success, has been an appli cant for assistant librarian. In fact, before the passage of the bill, she wrote so ably and forcefully in its favor, her application was a foregone conclusion, and friends had spoken in her interest before she herself applied. Since that time she has made a careful study of the modern library development, and has not only the advantage of an excel lent literary education, but a knowledge of up to-date library methods that would assure her efficiency in the office BWhen we read of a mother who leaves her new born babe shiv ering on a door step, unguarded from the ele ments, and to suffer at the mercy of stran gers, we won der at her cold heart and lack of mother-love. 1 here are other ways, than de sertion, of exposing a child to a life of suf fering. The mother who, through ignorance or neglect of the health and vigor of the or gans that make motherhood possible, brings into the world a sick and puny child is at fault for the life of suffering to which it is condemned. If a woman would have healthy, robust, happy children, with bright futures, she must take proper care of her womanly self. The best of all medicines for women is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts directly and only on the delicate and im portant organs that bear the burdens of ma ternity. It makes them strong and healthy. It prepares for wifehood and motherhood. Taken during the expectant period it ban ishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s coming easy and almost painless. It insures a robust, healthy newcomer and ample, natural nourishment. Over 90,000 women have testified to its merits over their signatures. All good druggists sell it. Mrs. Ursula'Dunham, of Sistersville, Tyler Co., W. Va., writes: “My baby now is nearly a year old. She was born last March. After she’was born I had local weakness. I could not stand up long enough to wash the dishes. In September I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I took three bottles and it has cured me. I can now do all my work.” Dr. Pierce’s U* • ■ IVI VV O ac j, ei sickness would to a very great extent be a thing of the past. If it was painful, the proper remedy would be prompt ly resorted to, and tne long train of disorders for which it is responsible would cease to exist. But unfortunately constipation is the easiest to neg lect of all sickness-breeding conditions. A resort to the right remedy is put off from day to day. It shows itself in a headache, and some injuri ous headache powder that gives but temporary relief is used. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets go to the first cause of thje trouble and cure ; They are a prompt and permanent core for constipation. They cause no pain and never gripe. Druggists . sell them, and sell nothing L>pl|pTQ else that is "just as good." V VllVlO. to which she aspires. During the time of the presentation of the library bill, and its final passage, Miss Cain visited Atlanta and made a thorough study of the duties of the librarian and haaiatant Among her clever articles on the sub ject she not only proved tbe capacity of woman to fill either place, but handled the subject so ably and brilliantly that the state press editorially recognized her strong and well-expressed observa tions. Shortly afterwards, at the time of the establishment of the Evening Con stitution, which has been aptly termed a period when Atlanta journalism de veloped its best talent, Miss Cain was recognized as tbe most competent of woman journalists to make a reputa tion for tbe woman’s side of tbe new paper and tbe position was tendered her by telegram. She accepted and made her department of that paper not only creditable, but m her special articles evinced a genius and talent that further distinguished her as one of the brightest young women in tbe tbe state. It would seem that tbe candidacy of Miss Cain for the assistant librarian ship wculd be a subject upon which tbe press women of the state might prove that spirit which should inspire them —that is the encouragement of one of their profession in an ambi tion commendable and praiseworthy. One of the principles of the woman journalist is supposed to be the loy alty toward womankind and her rep resentation of women’s interests in every line. Miss Cain’s ability and success should be a source of pride to the women of the'press in the state. Their loyal support of her in her can didacy lor the position of assistant state libarian would reflect credit up on them and manifest that loyalty and generosity of feeling that would but practically illustrate that sympa thy that should exist 'between women aspiring for in the proses sion of journalism.

General Commendation of the Scheme PropoMed by Mr. Gary. Washington, Nov. 22. —Posmaster General Gary is receiving many letters regarding the postal savings bank prop osition, strongly urged by him in his annual report.

Bush, a dentist, who had practised hypnotism among friends in a quiet way. was asked to try his powers. Bush reluctantly consented to trv the experiment and. using the usual meth ods, placed the girl under hypnotic in fluence, suggesting that siie would awaken at a certain hour with her hic coughs gone. At 3:30 p. in.. the time named, she awoke without a sign of the disease, and although three weeks have elapsed there has been no return of the trouble.

Let the ThMk.rivlnK Feast Be Thorough ly American. A teal Thanksgiving dinner should be as emblematic as possible. There is un doubtedly value in the observance of national customs, though the spirit of the age is to disregard them. Thanks giving was the first national feast we observed, as such iu this country- It was the first unbending of our puritan ical fathers, their first yielding to the appetite after their desperate flight from England, where the spiritual meaning of a festival was buried in gluttony and Christmas was synonymous with riotous living. The Thanksgiving feast first broke the grim and frugal year for us. Nature herself, setting the example, heaped our laps with the harvest yield, and the feast on that day should typify the plenty and prosperity of the year. Most of us have enough and to spare. Let us see that we do spare of it to those of scanty means. As it was from old England that we drew our ideas regarding our feasting, no French course dinner should be serv ed upon this occasion, but a generous board, groaning with its load, a la Eng land, should be spread. The turkey is king of the feast, snowy celery with its canary colored crest crowning him, and, together with the time honored product of the bogs—the cranberry—promising us he shall not pall upon our taste from very richness. Sweet and white pota toes, both absolutely indigenous to this land, with or without onions, turnips, parsnips and salsify—in fact, your choice of a host of vegetables, all in season for the day—play the part of courtiers at this royal gathering. Before sitting down it might be well to revive one of ten forgotten custom of the early cen turies—namely, to give thanks, for is it not Thanksgiving dinner?—-Exchange.
