things badly needed.
The women of Cartensville have
always been ready to take up every
< „id work which has come to their
u, ice. Asa rule, they have initi
aleci movements and other towns
j !aV e. followed. But somehow we
lia\e dropped behind a little, and
iL j, Liine to be up and doing. True,
\ V ,j are all busy, too much so. But
ever) body is busy, and perhaps we
get more done because we are busy—
m harness, so to speak.
There things to be done in
Cartersviltb. Not tilings requiring
much money—we couldn’t ask for
money— but we can ask that our
women pause and think—and look—
hirst —at the jail.
A woman on whose word we can
depend, the head fa strong body of
women, says that the conditions in
the county jail are “barbarious,” un
clean, unsanitary, probably in mor
als. a disgrace to a Christian land.”
Is this true? Then whose business
is it? Everybody’s—and conse
quently—nobody’s. Is it the men’s?
Ao! It has been their’s all along,
and they have failed. Therefore, it
is the women’s!
Then, we must have a rest room
for our country women who come
to town shopping, and for many
town women who have so often ex
pressed a desire for such a conven
ience.
This idea is nothing new. Rather
we are just that much behind other
towns.
To show r the need of such, things,
the president df the Agricultural
College of Virginia recently sug
gested to the Southern Settlement
and Development Organization that
the Board of Trade, Chamber of
Commerce, or other forms of busi
ness men’s associations to provide a
suitable place in each town or city
which women from the country dis
tricts may use for headquarters
when shopping.
The Southern Settlement and De
velopment Organization at once bul
letined the suggestion to all the com
mercial bodies in the Southern
states, on the theory that if rest
rooms were good things for Vir
ginia women they were good things
for the country women of all'the
Southern States, and the responses
which have been received indicate
that before long a number of
Southern cities will have rest rooms.
In some places the women’s clubs
have been asked to co-operate in
opening and maintaining, with the
financial backing o£ the local asso
ciation of business men, rest- rooms
for country women and thus, in a
simple social way establish points of
contact with the women from the
farm, which would tend to develop
friendly relations between the coun
try women and the city women, to
their mutual benefit. It has been
pointed out that the getting together
of the rural and urban women
through the establishment of rest
rooms will strengthen and broaden
fellowship and practical co-opera
tion between the farmer and the
business man, which has long been
desired.
It is suggested that a rest room
should be located at a convenient
cent(r and be furnished with chairs,
Ifibli sand toilet conveniences, tele
phone. writing desk, city directory,
drinking water, good lights and be
ventilated. Provision also
should be made for caring for the
hi tie ones, for the country people

Of general interest to all who de
plore tire wars in Europe, will he
the part tile children of our land
may take in them, from a standpoint
of peace. The following resolutions
and comment was introduced at the
last meeting of the Etowah Chapter,
and will be ui interest:
The Etowah chapter endured
unanimously a petition to be signed
and sent by the school children of
the United States, t,o the rulers of
the warring European countries.
Miss Lydia Jackson and Miss Lil
lian Greene were appointed by the
regent to present this to the school
children. It will also he brought to
the attention o.f the county teach
ers this week.
The petition was presented by
Mrs. Peeples, who 'had received a
personal letter from a member of
the committee, explaining its object.
An editorial from title New York
Journal says:
A petition from the Children to
the Kings; Millions of School Child
ren should sign it. And all of them
should read and understand it.
Miss Kate Devereaux Blake, head
of one of the great public schools in
New York, is the mother of an ex
cellentiideaa —a petition to the rulers
of the countries at war, from the
school children of America.
An appeal from the children will
not stop the war. But, such an ap
peal will have an effect upon the
children, and that is as important as
any effect that could be produced
upon the Kings.
The future power and energy,
represented in the school children
of today, is the hope of this coun
try, and the real force of the coun
try.
We print bene a petition which
Miss Blake has prepared, and which
school children everywhere are ask
ed to sign:
••••••••• •
* To His Majesty, The Emperor *
’ and King of Austria-Hungary. *
* To His Majesty, The King of *
* Belgium.
* To His Excellency, The Presi
* dent of the French Republic.

* Great Britain and Emperor of *

* of Germany and King of Prus

* To His Majesty, The Mikado
* of Japan.
* To His Majesty, The King of
* Montenegro.
* To His Majesty, The Czar of
* the Russians.
* We, the undersigned, Child
* ren of America, plead with you,
* the rulers of these great nations, *
* to call for an immediate anno
.* tice, and to let the differences
* of the warring nations be sub
* mitted to the Hague Tribunal
* for amicable and just setfle
' ment, and to promise to adjust
* all future difficulties peaceful
* ly in the same way. We arc the
* children and grand-children of
* your former subjects, we are
* many of us tied by blood and af- *
* fection to the soldiers now eon

* on different sides of this terri
* f ; c combat, we implore you to *
* stop the frightful slaughter’, for *
* to us it seems like savagery *
* fighting against civilization. We
* beg cn behalf of the helpless *
* children of Europe and Asia who *
* are being deprived of their
* fathers and their education, and ’
* are being irreparably degraded *
* by the hideous conditions erect- *
* ed by war.
With the petition ttvM the children
are asked to sign there is sent a let
ter signed by a eompiittee of wo
men.
Mothers are advised to read to
their children the letter, which fol
lows:
Dear Children:
The committee are asking you to
sign this petition in the hope that
where people of high estate have
failed, the tender voices of the child
ren raised to plead for the lives of
their brothers across the water may
move the rulers to cease their strife.
This war is raging, pretending to
settle differences between races or
nations that nothing but education
will really settle. In America, where
Austrians, Bohemians, British,
French, Germans, Hungarians, Rus
sians and Servians live as neighbors
and their children meet in school
and play, we know them all as broth
ers. It is for us Americans to try to
show this loving brotherhood to the
world, so that the swords may be
beaten into plowshares and all hu
man beings work for the common
good of all.
And what is this war doing to the
nations engaged in it? The health
iest and best men of each country
are being sacrificed, either dead or,
if they return., they come hack crip
ples or with health broken and with
the stain of murder Upon their souls;
while at home the women and child
ren with their feeble hands must
reap the harvest that should he cut
by the men that lie wounded and
dead on the battlefield. The schools
are shut, the children are starving,
the factories are closed, and trade
is at a standstill.
The neutral countries of Europe
are suffering in the same way. Their
men are massed on their borders,
fearing that war may strike at them
also. Their harvests, too, are un
garnered, or t'he women and child
ren are forced to do the work of
the absent men.
And America? We, too, must pay
the price, though so far away,
'though our hearts are wrung by

the slaughter of friends or brothers.
Our mines, our factories, our lum
ber camps, are also closed in many
pliaces, our trade is impaired—only
the pockets of the farmers are made
heavier because wheat is worth
more now that all Europe is hungry.
But what American farmer rejoices
at the high price of wheat when it
means the death of thousands of
good men and the changing of happy
families into weeping widows and
orphans?
Children, we want you to remem
ber that war is always a stupidity.
The territory gained by any war
could be bought many times over by
the money spent on war. In our own
civil war the purchase by the gov
ernment of all the slaves owned by
the south at the highest market
price would not have cost one-tenth
of what the war cost, to say nothing
of the thousands of brave men whose
lives would have been saved. Our
great Benjamin Franklin said:
“There never was a good war nor a
bad peace.” War is the enemy of
mankind. We hope that as you sign
the petition you will make a silent
pledge to yourselves always to work
for schools instead of battleships,
and for libraries rather than bat
teries.
We hope that many millions of
children in the schools will sign the
petition, and that parents will read
the trillion and the letter to their
children and explain both.

I RANGE EXPLOSION
INJURES IV. 11. MILNER.
Mr. W. H. Milner was seriously
injured at his home Saturday morn
ing resulting from the explosion of
his range in the kitchen. At an ear
ly hour Mr. Milner went to the kiteh
en to make a fire in the stove. The
night being a cold one, the water in
the boiler and water hack of the
range had frozen. Mr. Milner made
a quick fire which heated the water
back very suddenly, and while yet
attending to getting the range hot,
the water hack exploded, tearing the
range all to pieces and various fly
ing particles and parts sailed out in
alj directions. Mr. Milner was knock
ed to the floor and a heated part of
the range fell upon him. He was al
so seriouslly scalded. At first it was
feared that his lfg and arm were
broken, but upon medical aid being
summoned, this was found not to
be so.
Mrs. Milner and Miss Mary Grace
were also in the kitchen at the time
hut luckily escaped injury. Dust and
ashes were blown into Mrs. Milm r’s
face so for several seconds she was
blinded, but she sounded the alarm
and neighbors hurried to the scene
of the accident. Miss Mary Grace,
seeing the situation, pulled her fath
er into another room and ministered
to him until relief came.
Mr. Milner was quite painfully
hurt and will be confined to his
room for several days, but his many
friends are pleased to learn that the
injuries he received while painful
are not serious. The explosion re
sulted in the complete destruction
of the range and various parts flew
in all directions, some out the win
dow, some imbedded in the wall and
some in the ceiling of the room.
Soon after the accident the kitchen
showed every evidence of a violent
explosion.
For indigestion a dose of Y T oung's
Liver Elixir just after eating will
always relieve.
