■ 1 J 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.

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.” J I 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 cents; cheese. 33 cents; milk, f- 70 cents; butter, $1.20; bread, 21.80; qof- fee, 70, cents; sugar, 75 cents; Heat 1* cents.

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.

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.

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.
