This is what
/ /-'T/ a. prominent physician says: “I
m/gj"' <T have given my own children the
benefit of very careful study in
/ y 4 the matter of absolute cleanli-
( I | \ ness in bottle feeding. I have
\ I V studied the so-called easily-
\ y cleaned nursing bottles, and I
-—- ; i=r _ZZ=r- i long ago came to the conclusion
k that a little Pcarline would ren-
J (;r ordinary nursing bottles the
safest utensils of them all. I firmly believe that childien
properly fed and cleanly fed will avoid the. majority of the
difficulties which they encounter during the first two years of
life. I believe that if every feeding bottle was washed with
F’earline, many innocent lives would be saved.
Surely, this is a matter to interest every mother. Notr mg
so thoroughly cleanses as Pcarline. 510
thoir arms, making a "chink-chink” noise, I
each child placed his offering on a basket
and marched down from the rostrum. I
These banks were broken open behind the |
scenes, the money counted, a rcord made
of each offering and read out to the
audience. Some of the banks had as much
as $2 In them, while one little tot had only
4 cents.
The last piece was “The Harvesters,”
which was sung by twelve, of the larger
girls, each of whom carried a basket laden
with ripened grain and products of the
soil, which they lifted at Intervals tn the
song to display. The Idea of plenty was
carried out in every detail, and I know
everybody there felt more thankful to the
Heavenly Father for His rich and bountiful
blessings, especially after the beautiful les
son then being illustrated.
The, children’s "fruit offering” contained
$17.50; so the Juvenile Missionary Society,
under whose auspices the entertainment
was given, has reason to feel proud and
fully repaid for the time and careful re
hearsing such an undertaking entails.

Lula and Lillian Greer, Huntsville. Miss.-
Dear Junior: We want to join the Grady
Hospital Club. Please lind enclosed our
little mite, 10 cents. We are aged respect
ively eleven and thirteen years. We are
now going to school. Can Aunt Susie or
any one else tell us something that? will
cure asthma? Our poor mamma suffers
dreadfully with it. She 19 confined to her
bed a. good deal of the time. Can any one
tell us of a late book published on asthma.
Tho little ones of the Grady hospital should
fed very happy to have such a kind, noble
I l.idy to watch over them, as Aunt Susie.
We would like to correspond with some one
near our age living in the mountains of
Georgia.
Tiffin Gladney, High Shoals, Ala.—Dear
Junior: I take for my subject three ol tho
most beautiful words in tin.' English lan
guage—“ Mother, Home and Heaven." What
word strikes so forcibly upon the heart as
“mother," coming from childhood’s sunny
lips? Mother is tho truest friend we
have. M’iien trials heavy and sudden fail
upon us, when friends who rejoiced with
us in our sunshine desert us, when trou
bles thick’ n around us she will cling to
us and endeavor by her kind precepts to
dissipate the clouds of diii'kness. In her
bands are placed minds to be mold’ d and
lilted to shmo on earth. However dark
our sins may be. they will nil be forgiven
and forgotten by mother, and when we
stand beside lu r grave we will think of
her many acts of kindness toward u«. It
is an inspiring hope that when we separate
here on earth at the summons of death,
we shall meet again In heaven, our eter
nal home, there to dwell forevermore in
j the presence of our heavenly Father.
I Correspondents solicited; either sex.
I Wallace, and Jacob, Hahira, Ga.—Dear
! Junior: We take for our subject “Friend

■ friend? To gain friendship wo must be a.s
I true to others as wo are to ourselves, lov-
I Ing and kind. We must prove It by cur
; daily walks through life; must show it in
action and in dec’ 1 . How h ippy wo are to
meet with 'at friends. There we know
! we have those that wo can trust. Who
will symp ithize with us in our sorrows?
Who will ch'-er us up and advise us when

Erm st King. Sequin, Tex.—Dear Junior:
My fntlier is a farmer and lie tak’-s The
Constitution. I read the Young Folks let
ters. My eldest brother and I went to the
fair last week and had a nice time. There
were ’ many k.n’’*i o stock and pou try,
| and oh! such a fine white Norman horse.
■ 1 have only two brothers, Ralph and He.-
bert, and no sisters. My father owns 2)J
acres of land and a bunch of catt e. He re
wards us when we help hoe and pick tli’-
cotton, so between us we have saved $5 and
had an acre of land grubbed. We w;l pl m
and plant it and w th tho proceeds intend
purclinsmg i-ome heifer y> arl.ng.-. as ’.ve
only own one each ye'. We live on the
edge of a good range and some daj’ I hop.
to be a cattle man. as there is mot” mo ey
in that than in raising cotton. We ha e
advantages here as we.l 'S the reverse.
For instance, southwest Texas is not a
good fruit country; owing io late frosts W'
only have a peach crop about once in f.iar
years. Eastern Texas is bettor to” fruit.
I will send a contribution io the hospital
next year from my crop. I live about two
miles of the Guadalupe river and ten miles
south of Sequin. I don't think I wi U d
like city life very much. 1 am elev n jeirs
of age. Best wishes for all.
Mamye C. Tvcy, Warrenton, Ga.—Dear
Junior: I live in the country, just two
miles from the town of Warrenton. I at
tend the Warrenton 11 gh school there. T
am in the eighth grad’ . I want to te!l you
cousins of an entertainment we are going
to have In our school a month from now.
We are going to have a. “Grassliopper Can
tata,” a play called “Chinese Wedding,”
which will be very pretty; a “Sweet Home
Drill,” and many other little things which
will make the evening pass very pleasantly
to all who attend. I wish Aunt Susie and
all the cousins could come and be with
me.
I think Goldie Bell’s letter in the last is
sue of The Constitution very nice. We
have not been taking The Constitution very
long, but long enough to love it so well
that we would not lie without it for any
thing. Every Tuesday when we get it tho
lirst place I turn to is The Constitut. on,
Junior. And oh! bow Ido enjoy read.ng
the nice letters. I think the girls are get
ting ahead of the boys now; they do not
seem to take much interest in The Junior.
Do all of the cousins like to read. 1 do
for one. I have just flushed rc! V l ’ n ”
“Psyche,” and think it very good. lam
anticipating a nice time Christmas. I_h°l _■

It was a small village in or near a swamp.
I was met there by relatives, and as it
was very warm in the day, we continued
our Journey that night, as we had sev

Just at dawn we camo to a place known
as R.ver Falls. The river and all t lie lit

Some of tile neat little houses were m ar
tho banks of tho river and just beyond
tile falls was a large farm. I spent sev

not have be<-n spent more pleasantly, as t
was the lirst one I had ever attended.
Chinquapins and other nuts are plentiful

Jeff K. McCarty, Dothan, Ala.—Dear Ju
nior: I have been a const mt l oader of th ■
dear old Constitution ever since I learned
how to read. And with great lntere-t I
read the many nice letters from tho
cousins every week and notice the im
provement of the young people's <1 pirt
ment and I think it Is the best I have ey- r
seen of its kind.
I often wonder how many young peopl >
read with Interest the same nice letters I
do, and how many hearts are mad gal
to sei their letters in print. I aonde:- 'f
Aunt Susie ever tires from leading, cor
recting and preparing Hie many htindre Is
of letters from her young people forth ■
newspaper press from one y*’ar unto I'ti
other. I know how bad she must ■ <‘l
when she finds om so bad that she has. t i
throw It into the waste ba-k”t. I hoio
none of the cousins ever got offended when
their letter falls to appear In the tnp'r. I
think If they wi 1 only stop and think <or a
moment they can certainly excus” A mt
Sus e. I think it very helpful to yo-tn r
1. ’ ,le to etinage in letter writing, and I
think The Constitution Junior a fl e medi
um for begiunei . I would be please 1 to
correspond with some of the cons n- for
pastime and improvement. Success to Aunt
Susio and The Junior.
Zalda Moon, Lineville, Ala —Dear Ju
nior: I will take for my subject “The
Study of Nature." Since the early morn
ing of tb.e i re.'iti’in of man th.- beauties
and wonders of nature have charmed and
enlightened tho human soul. And It has
b en by the study of nature’s book that
the world has' been brought from the mid
night darkness of ignorance and supersti
tion into the glorious light of civilization.
O what a book is nature! Let us for a
moment view her wonderful pages ami
bi auliful paint it ' Tin univ: t is spin ad

etir Th” earth. - '•! In ; e ri. irb if l.i it

ments, her hills niM dales, sparkl.ng rivu
lets and thundering waterfalls, verdant
li”lds and sultry plains. Iles before us,

day 1’ arn someth ng from the things
around us. !-• t us bring down some use
ful knowledge from the sun, moon and
stars. From Hie trees, herbs iml flowers
let us learn of tli” Iwiautiful in nature.
From the list..- birds that slug around our
doors tus learn of the music of tieavi tl.
From the flying moments let us learn the
important les-on of the prop r application
of our time, and from tho ' hang's in na
ture learn of the unstabllity of mortal
affairs. Hi” line: rta. nty of this life and
tli” certainty of death. And thus, by me
diation upon nature. We shall become b t
t’ f l:oys and girls; our souls will be fulb r
of love for tile good and reverence for
the sublime.
Sara E. Staggs. Hilham. Tenn.—Dear Ju
nior: Georgk: Girl has placed a subject
before us which, like all topics of the
kind, will r.'Wer be de-aided positively In
America, where all are allowed freedom
of manner and thought. But with my
limited vision 1 heartily agree with her
that compulsory education would place our
citizens on a h'gher and more intellectual
plane. Only a few nights since our little
debating club here wrangled over "The
L’enetlts of Compulsory Education" as ap
plicable to our stiii • and to my regret the
judges favored those orators on th< neg i
tivc of the question.
ljuite often we nice with the Bavarian
or German Jew pack peddler and usually
lind him w.tli a store of knowledge, sur
passing often that of our college gr.uiuale ■.
T:.e excellent education fie received in his
native country stands him in good set
v ce when he rises to position of command
and wealth. On the other hand, 1 am told
tli.u many of these German boys have th”
a:I.-’.’ll’■” ot their par’ .its to emi.;rat"
to America to escape this very law. If
parents only would se< that a few years
g.ven to study in the youth would prepare
their ctilldrcn lor a grander, I’ett. r l:fe.
ui manhood when they could enjoy the
bles.-’itie that prosperity brings. The acme
of pleasure was reached wh* n T read tile
description of St. Augustine liy the St.

Strang-e New Shrub That Cures Kid
ney and Bladder Diseases, Klieuma
tism, Etc., Free.
We have previously described the new
botanic discovery, Alkavis, which proves a
speeiue cure for diseases caused by I rlc
aeid m tile blood or disorder ol Hie Kid
neys or urinary organs. It is now stated
that Alkavis is a product of the well
known Kava-Kava Shrub,'and is a specllic
cure lor these diseases Just as quinine is
lor miliaria, lion. R. L. Wood, of Lowel 1,
Ind., writes that in four weeks Alkavis
cured him of Kidney and bladder disease
of ten years' standing, and Rev. Thomas
M. Owen, of West Bawlet, V t., gives simi
lar testimony. Many ladles also testily
to Its wonderful curative powers in dis
orders p’culinr to womanhood. The only
importers of Alkavis so far are the Church
Kidney Cure Co., of 41S Fourth avenue.
New York, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send a free treatment of
Alkavis preptiid by mail to ever}’ reader of
Tile Weekly Constitution who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder dis
order, Bright's Disease, Rheumatism,
Dropsy, Gravel. Pain in Baek. Female
Complaints or other affliction due to im
proper action of the Kidneys or Urinary
< >rgans. W'e advise all sufferers to send
their names and address to the company,
and receive the Alkavis free. It is sent to
you entirely free, to prove Its wonderful
curative power. . , ,

John T,. James. Milford, Tex.U. nr Jun
ior: I will drop a f.-w remarks concerning
books and reading, not that I’m an author
ity on the subject, but I differ with so:::’.' ’
of tli. Juniors, p.rhaps, on this subjie>.
One ot thorn seems to think that novels '
form the very best of reading. Certain (
novels ate very good; some are Very bad. I
Many of the so-called standard works, ad- .
vi't'tis. ,1 in the numerous story papers, are '
Hie Veriest trash. I think one of the
curses of our times is the pt "..ileiieo o.
blood and thunder detective stori silly .
love stories, sillier romances anil stories ot’
adv. mure. If a novel does not teach a.
moral, or tend to make you better, throw
it away. There are works of Action which
are el’ \ating. but they come to the public,
recommended by good and ■•ar.’ful thinkers. ■
The idea of a novel being more bon tieial i
“than a hundred serinonsl" Do you ’
pose to say th.'it the Imagination of 111:111 is ;
superior to the word of God’.’ Never! \V!i!«'ii I
is tho more beiielleial. to spend an hour 1
reading the florid descriptions in som. New i
York or European novel, or to spend ti e 1
time listening to som.” preacher whose one I
sermon may turn many to better Ilves? Tb.e (
reading of Action may polish our lives,
but the happiness of life must come from 1
deeper sources.
Thomas J. Chastain, Gentry, Ark.—Dear j
Junior: I choose for my subject “Gossip.” *
1 hate the word so much 1 dislike to write |
Very much about it. If it was possible to '
crush all the gossip in our beloved United I
States and have none for a year. it. would i
simply be a heaven, compar’d w:th wli.it
it now is. If you can't say something goo:'
for your neighbors, my advice would b" mu '
to say anything bad of ’.hem. Gossip is i
something that is practiced a great deal. ;
Many lives it has blighted. How nice it
w”tild be if ev. ry person would just re-
