THE ATLANTA UEOKUIAJN AND NEW IS
Vanderbilt Sociologist, However,
Does Not Depreciate Impor
tance of Labor Laws.
ASKS NATIONAL MOVEMENT
Dr. G. W. Dyer, Here for Big
Congress, Would Give Each
Family Plot of Ground.
"The salvation of the poor Amer
ican child will be found in the coun
try,” was the declaration to-day of
Dr. G. W. Dyer, of the chair of so
ciology at Vanderbilt University,
Nashville. Dr. Dyer is in Atlanta to
assist In making ready for the great
Southern Sociological Congress,
whose sessions will begin in this city
April 25.
“I am not minimizing the impor
tance of obtaining sweeping child la
bor laws,” added Dr. Dyer. "They
are Jmperative and the South has
been a little backward in adopting
them, but I deprecate the tendency
of families to flock from the coun
try to the city, where the children of
the poorer classes are herded in the
slums and alleys and are not given a
chance at life.
"The flow f the population should
be the other vay. There is the op
portunity for file young people of the
nation. I think some of your influen
tial men in Atlanta should put them
selves at the head of a movement to
place hundreds of the poorer families
on the suburban roads leading out
of town. Every family in the nation
should have a home of its own. When
this consummation is approached
there will not be much talk of a child
labor problem.
“If the poorer families of Atlanta
in some manner could be furnished
each with a small plot of ground in
the country or in the suburbs, say an
acre, and each could be provided with
a means of owning their own home
Atlanta would be benettted.”
Georgia Behind.
"Georgia is a little behind some of
the other States in its child labor
laws. Personally, I am in favor of
very rigid measures dealing with the
employment of children, but 1 appre
ciate that in our enthusiasm we are
apt to be unfair to the employer. If I
had my way about it and could do so
without working any hardship on any
class of people, I would have the age
limit shot right up to lti years, but
this can not be done all at once. It
must come gradually.
“The reform must be a general one.
Otherwise an injustice is worked and
the cause is harmed. If the manu
facturers in one section are deprived
of the use of children under certain
ages, they are placed at a disadvant
age in respect to the manufacturers
in another seotion.”
Dr. Dyer was one of the speakers
last night at a dinner at Durand's,
where he outlined the work that could
be accomplished by the coming Con
gress and described the problems that
are confronting it.
W. Woodv White presided at the
meeting and James E. McCullough, of
Xashville, general secretary, gave a
brief talk. Others at the speakers'
tablg were Mayor James G. Wood
ward, Hollins X. Randolph, Linton C.
Hopkins, E. C. Callaway and Joseph
C. Logan.
ALABAMA SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION IN SESSION
HUNTSVILLE, ALA., April 15.—
Every incoming train last night and
yesterday afternoon brought large
numbers of delegates from all parts
of Alabama to attend the thirtieth
annual convention of the Alabama
Sunday School Association, which be
gan here to-day in the First Meth
odist Church. R. O. Morris, of Mo
bile, is president.
Gadsden wants the convention in
1914 and has a strong delegation.
■AND 8 UFF
GERMS MUST GO
In America the dandruff serins
roust go. The war of extermina
tion lias been declared. The battle
1 as begun, and already thousands
°f intelligent Americans have per
manently rid themselves of this
filthiness.
To-day it is no more necessary
for a man to ha^re dandruff in his
hair than to have tartar on his
teeth.
Dandruff can never be cured un
til the small, aggravating and in
domitable dandruff germ is con
quered and destroyed.
And millions of dandruff germs
have been destroyed, thanks to
the great scientist who gave to
the world Parisian Sage, the only
t’cal dandruff cure and hair grow
er the world has ever known.
If you have dandruff, Parisian
Sage yill cure you in two weeks,
or your money back.
But besides ridding the scalp of
dandruff. Parisian Sage is guar
anteed to stop falling hair and
itching of the scalp, it is not a.
dye. It is a prime favorite with
^omen of refinement. 11 makes the
hair soft, lustrous and beautiful,
and is not sticky or greasy.

He “Shot” His
Patron and Lost.
A regular patron of one of the city
restaurants was In the habit of giving
his waiter a dollar each Sunday
morning.
Last Sunday morning, when he
took his place at table another waiter
seryed him.
Where’s Jerry?" asked the regular
patron.
Well, you see, boss, We done- shoot
craps las night. When Jerry went
broke he shot you, an' I won. So yo’
see I gets his tip dis morntn'."
How One Woman
Takes Her Tonic.
A new and cheap way of taking a
spring tonic has been discovered by a
woman who doesn’t want to carry her
dose bottle around > with her. She was
advised to take olive oil before each
meal and. being a business woman,
she eats wherever it Is most conven
ient. Anybody knows It would be
unhandy to carry a bottle around all
day long. It happens that certain
cafe and restaurant tables are pro
vided with olive oil and before each
meal she calmly takes her dose. No
menu has any such separate Item' on
it, therefore no charge Is made.
Of Course Her Opinion
Couldn’t Have Been Biased.
An EpiscopaJ rector in a town not
thousand miles from Atlanta was
unable -to preach on a recent Sunday
on account of a death. He asked his
curate to preach for him. On his re
turn he inquired of his wife what sho
thought of the curate’s sermon. >
“The poorest I ever heard,” she de
clared. "Nothing in it at all.”
Later, tliis rector meeting his curate,
asked him how he got along.
"Finely, Dr. , finely," replied the
curate. “I didn't have time to get up
•one of my own sermons, and in, the
robing room I found one of your ser
mons laid away in the drawer,'so 1
preached it.”

Two Prepare Ten-Cent LUnches
for Two Hundred Delegates to
Baptist Training School.
How to sw^t the high cost ( of liv
ing is being demonstrated successfully
to-day by Gilijs Mary E. Ccgfter, of
193 West North Avenue, and Miss
Emma L. Daley, of 342 West Peach-
trey—an! in' a church, at that. At
t.he head,of the auxiliary for the At
lanta Baptist - Training School, hold •
Ing lts fourth annual session at the
First Baptist Churfch, they furnish
luncheon every afternoon to more than
200 visiters at a cost of 220—or some-
thipg less than 10 s cents for each
lunch. j
“It's a good lunch, too,” said Miss
Comer,:Who Is the purchasing agent,
"and’ I don't see why 'it costs some
people so much money to get along.
"We have either chicken or' potato
salad, beef gnd cheese sandwiches,
veal loaf and coffee or tea, nnd the
portions are healthy ones. Of course,
we do not sell the lunches, but we
have to buy them and know what
each costs. It was something less
than'220 yesterday and we tied over
200, so that would make it a little
lees than 10 cents for each one.
Halved Lowest Estimate. ■,
"We thought at one time we would
buy the lunches doA-ntown and have
them sent out, but we found ft would
cost a little more than we could af
ford, so we decided to try It our
selves. We've cut the lowest estimate
In half and we think we ary doing
better than If we had bought the
lunches already prepared.” j
Miss ■ Comer furnished her' list; of
purchases for the first day: y J
Meats. 29; potatoes, 70 cents; eggs.
11.25; celery, 21; mayonnaise, ! 60

This Should Keep
The Bahy Healthy
When. It is Ill Don't Become
Alarmed But Give This
Fine Laxative
It isft" often ' difficult to tell just
what is the matter with a crying,
peevish baby 441- child too young
to express its feelings in.words, but
as a-, general rule,, the mother, will
find that there is a tendency to con
stipation which has brought on ,1
headache or nervousness. The lit
tle one - has no-pain, but feels “out
of sorts.”
The first thing to try is a family
rertfeliy 'containifig '‘godd blit mild
laxative properties, and many moth
ers will say that their choice would
. be JD.r. Cab?weft's , Syrup Pepsin.
Thpusands of mothers keep it in the
.house. for.,sucil, emergencies, among
whom may" be mentTohod Mrs. Jen
nie Manuel, Altamont, Ill..-who b-V
gan to give her , baby, Frederick,.
Syrup Pepsin when he was 6 months
old, and has used it ever since with
gratifying, results. She writes that
Frederick was not growing well and
threw up his food, but after a few
days' use of Syrup Pepjsin he was
able' 1 'to retain his food and gained
rapidly in weight. Thousands of
others are,glad to say that Syrup
Pepsin saved them many an ill
ness and many a large doctor bill,
for by administering it promptly,
when the first symptoms of illness
were noticed, they prevented a seri-
ohs ailment.
It is so pleasant-tasting that no
child will refuse it, ;fnd as it does
not gripe, the child is glad to take*
it again. A bottle can he obtained
of any druggist for fifty cents or
one dollar, th^ latter being the size
bought by families already famiiia-;

with its merits'. Results are al
ways guaranteed or money will bo
refunded.
Syrup Pepsin is for all the family
from infancy to old age, and be
cause of its mildness families
should prefer it over all other rem
edies. It is absolutely safe and re
liable. You Will never again give
cathartics, pills, salts or such harsh
physics, for they are usually un
necessary, and in the case of chil
dren, women and elderly people are
a great shock to* the system, and
hence should be avoided.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal jtrial
of it before buying it in the regular
way of a druggist, send your ad
dress—a postal will do—to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell. 417 Washington St..
Monticello, Ill., and a free sample
bottle Will be mailed you.
