And How About Mother ?
The prevalent excuse for the
high cost of living is the increase
in the wages paid and the shorter
hours for labor. The once well
known domestic helper, the hired
girl, has almost disappeared and
the few specimens now in cap
captivity are asking for the eight
hour day enjoyed by her sisters
in the mills and factories. All the
well known arguments are being
presented and it is more than
likely that the '’maid” who has
succeeded the old fashioned “hired
girl” will win out. And suppose
she does, the problem will remain
unsolved. Those who can afford
to keep servants may be able to
adjust their home arrangements
to meet the conditions proposed,
but how about the households
where no servants are kept ? We
are talking now about more than
ninety-five per cent of the homes
in Jones county where the house
hold work, whether for pleasure
or drugery, is done by mother.
There is no eight-hour day with
Saturday afternoon, all day Sun
day and every evening off for this
slave of labor. She is still required
to be stirring long before the
whistle blows in the morning that
her man may be sent to his day’s
work with a good breakfast. All
day long she toils in the kitchen
or about the house, and when her
man has finished his eight-hour
stunt on the job, mother must
greet him at home, not only with
a smile, but with a well cooked
meal. It is not necessary to men
tion the endless round of little and
big things that fill in her daily
program. She is at work long
before the bread winner starts his
day, and long after he has finished
his evening meal and sits down
with pipe. At last when she is
through and wound the clock she
comes into the sitting room and
tackles the mending. No eight
hour schedule for mother, that
loyal, patient soul who is the very
rock upon which the Republic is
founded. Why not a mother’s
strike ? No, it will never be, for
the true mother receives compen
sation be>ond all wage scales in
the joy and satisfaction of seeing
her home well-kept and her loved
ones happy. —Jones County News.
Times Have Changed.
A friend of Senator Sorghum
encountered the solon on the steps
of the capitol and after passing
the time of day remarked play
fully:
'“Senator, how comes it you
aren’t making any of your famous
speeches these days?”
But the senator was ready for
him.
“Times have changed,” he re
plied without hesitation. “Now it
isn’t all easy for a man with silk
hat and frock coat to assert he is
saving the country all by himself,
and say it at an audience that’s all
khaki uniforms and overalls.”
When a man passes the thirti
eth mile post and has loved no
good woman, he has lost his best
chance of life for happiness and
the sooner he calls a halt and
thinks it over the better.
Housework in Hot Weather.
Hot weather brings no relief
from housework drudgery. If
anything, woman’s work is more
trying. Overwork and worry
cause kidney trouble, resulting in
backache, sore muscles,stiff joints,
rheumatic pains, always tired feel
ing and other distressing symp
toms. Mrs. Robt. Blair, 460 S.
20th St., Terre Haute, Ind., writes:
“After taking Foley Kidney Pills
backache stopped and my kidneys
were restored to healthy, normal
notion. lam also free from those
tired spells and headaches and my
vision is no longer blurred.” Mc-

Cut Them Out.
A town, unlike a city, is no place
to foster jealousies and nourish
contentions. All should learn to
know that whatever will conduce
to the welfare of a town cannot
injure her citizens. The disposi
tion made manifest by her citizens
point to her downfall or her rise.
The character of the people make
the town, not her structures, tow
ering houses, domes and monu
ments, and when people lose in
terest in the promotion of their
town they need not hope to thrive.
Harmony among the people of a
community is indicative of its pro
gress. Farmers cannot be at
variance with one another and
prosper; merchants cannot, nor
can any similar organization or
community.
An interesting and peofitable
trip that every motorist should
take, but seldom think of, is a trip
under the car to seq the condition
of things there.
The Best Physic.
When you want a pleasant physic
take Chamberlain’s Tablets. They
are easy to take and mild and gen
tle in effect. They are highly
prized by people who have become
acquainted with their good qnaii
ties. They only cost a quarter.

You may set it down as a fact
that there isn’t a twelve-year-old
boy in the neighborhood who
hasn’t his opinion of you —and he
wouldn’t be slow about expressing
it either, if a stranger should ask
him about it. Every man is al
ways making character whether
he is doing anything else or not.
Why not build character that you
may ever look back upon it with
pride.
A Great Remedy.
The merits of Chamberlain’s
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy are
well known ar.d appreciated, but
there is occasionally a man who
had no acquaintance with them
and should read the following by
F. H. Dear, a hotel man at Dupny
er, Mont. “Four years ago I used
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy with such wonderful re
sults that T have siime recommen
ded it to my friends.” For sale

Stop the' Snuffles”
If you want to make your distressed
babies easy and comfortable, give
Foley’s Honey and Tar,
It is just what they ought to have for
feverish colds, coughs, “snuffles,” and
wheezy breathing. It 6tops croup, too.
Foley’s Honey and Tar tastes good
end the little ones like it.® It contains
no morphine, chloroform or other drug
that you wouldn’t like to give to young
children.* Do not accept a substitute.
Mrs. B. H. Garrett, Schoolfield, Va., writes:—
“My baby was stricken with a severe cough and
cold at one month old. I gave him ten to fifteen
drops of Foley’s Honey and Tar every three
hours and it surely did help him, tie busu’t
been sick a day since.”

Productiveness
Of United States.
The Savannah News calls at
tention to the resources of the
United States in the following
paragraph, which gives some idea
of the productivity of this country.
It says: The United States with 6
per cent of the world’s land pro
duces 66 per cent of the world’s
cotton; 75 per cent of the world’s
coal; 30 per cent of the world’s
gold, 40 per cent of the world’s
silver; 40 per cent of the world’s
zinc; 50 per cent of the world’s
aluminum, and 60 per cent of the
world’s copper; and makes 85 per
cent of the world’s automobiles.
There was never a time in the
history of this town when the
readers of this paper were so in
terested in the advertising col
umns as they are today. With
prices of everything up in the
clouds, the average man or woman
is keenly alive to the possibility of
shaving off a cent or two in the
price of necessities, and watches
the ads like a hawk in the hope of
finding some relief. The WISE
merchant takes advantage of this
and places his propositions before
the people each week.

You'll Do Better at Home.
At this season of the year, suff
erers from hay fever and asthma
