Diild Spoil This Story to Tell
It iu tlio Headlines.
To use, an eighteenth century
phrase, this is an “o’er true tale.”
Having happened in a small Vir-
towu ill the winter of 1902,
it is a story very much of the pres
ent. “Up to a short time ago
Mrs. John E. Harmon, of Mel fa
Station, Va., had no personal
knowledge of the rare curative
properties of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, “Last January,”
she says, “my baby took a dread
ful cold and at one time I feared
she would have pneumonia, but
one of my neighbors told me how
this remedy had cured her little
boy and I began giving it to my
baby at onoe and it soon cured
her. I heartily thank the manu
facturers of Chamberldin’s Cough
Remedy for placing so great a
cure within my reach. I cannot
recommend is too highly or say
too much in its favor. I hope all
who read this will try it and be
convinced as I was.” For sale by
all Druggists.

Adult Male Population and School
Population.
Southern Education Board.
An important factor in determine
ing a state’s ability to educate itB
children is found in the proportion
of adult males (the natural wealth
producers) to children of school age.
Where the proportion is small each
adult male must not only bear a
larger part of the burden of school
taxes ohan where it ta large, but al
so a larger part of the burden of
government and of support of the
non-produoing part of the popula
tion. The extent to which children
of school age may be freed from la
bor is also involved. Where the pro
portion is small it becomes necessa
ry for children to earn a part or all
of their living earlier than where it
is larger.
The following figures, calculated
from statistics in the United States
census, show that from this stand
point the bnrden of education in the
southern states is much heavier than
in other sections of the country. In
Tennessee there are 62 adult males
to every 100 children betwen five
and twenty years of age; in Virginia,
68; North Carolina, 66; South Caro
lina, 61; Georgia, 69; Mississippi, 66;
Texas, 66; Ohio, 91; Michigan, 91;
New York, 102; Rhode Island, 102;
Massachusetts, 108; Connecticut,
109; Washington, 126; California,
129; Montana, 166. In the states of
the East, North and West the pro
portion of adult males to ohildren of
school age is from twenty-five to
one hundred and fifty per cent larg
er than in the Southern states. In
the Southern states as a whole, but
not including any state north of the
Potomac, there are 69 adult males
to every 100 ohildren of school age;
in the North Central states, 84; in
the North Atlantic,'States, 99; in the
Western states, 116.
In North and South Carolina the
average man must provide for the
support and education of twice as
many children as the average man
of Massachusetts or Connecticut,
and throe times 0^ many as the av
erage man in Montana; the average
man in the Southern Btates for al
most twice as many children as the
average man in the North Atlantic
or the Western states. It should
also be remeniberou that one-third
of the 69 men in the Southern states
are negro men, possessed of little
property and doing, as a rule, a low
and unremunerative grade of labor,
and nearly one-fifth the remainer
are illiterate white men, whose labor
is of a similar grade;
If we had as muoh taxable prop
erty as the people of the East,
North and West, still the burden of
edneating our ohildren would be as
heavy again aB theirs.
The state senate of Missouri has
passed a bill providing for the “tax
ing, branding and licensing of for
eign lords and noblemen, both real
and bogus, found running at large
in the state of Missouri,” and pro-
\iding severe punishment for viola-
tiob of the said law, “to the end
that the young womenn of Missouri
may be protected and fully warned
against engaging in a speculation of
such risky and dangerous character
as investing in suoh enterprises.”

The most peculiar feature of the
doll trade is that no one factory
makes the entire doll. A toy turtle
with a clock in its chest has to pass
through the hands of three men and
thirty-seven girls before it is ready
to be put on the market. Some doll
makers employ many bands inside
the factories and send the different
parts to the homes of the workers to
be completed there.
