MEDFORD, MASS., Dec. 1.7. -Dr.
Charles w '. ElTot, president emeritus
of Harvard I’niveraity, holds that
i unless a remedy is found apeedily for
i tiie evils of the factory system a
; terrible physical and moral degen
eracy will result.
“We have come through the period
"f immigration pretty sa!'\" said he.
1 "The American republic has the pe-
i uliar function of lifting up the peo
ple of the Old World.
"But city life and the factory *>*-
tem. which keeps the immigrant boy
and girl and man in the cities. i» do
ing untold harm to the newcomers
physically arid morally. The factory
system is one of the greatest curses of
civilization in this respect. The mill
industries and city life combine to
promote, propagate and preserve con
ditions that unfavorably affect the
vitality of our modern population.
“If men of public spirit, of fore
sight nip] intelligence do not find tee
remedy, 1 foresee a terrible physical
and moral* degeneracy, already visi
ble within the next hundred years,
similar to that existing in the* Eng
lish factory centers to-day. We must
struggle against it.
“'The family life and famih dis
cipline have greatly changed. W hen
I was a boy I went to the Boston
Latin School to prepare for Harvard,
us did many other boys of my time
who intended to go to college. To
day the children of the rich do not
attend the public schools. They arc
educated in boarding and private
schools."

Therefore, if your letter isn’t print

but, confidentially. I was not prepared
for the flood of communications
which followed close upon the heels

Some admirable suggestions have
been made, and I trust they have
been of real benefit to the married
folks who have been worrying over
the present-giving problem this

were received;
FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the most simple and ap
propriate gift a wife could pre
sent to her husband 1* a combina
tion collar, cuff and tie. and collar
and cuff button and tie clasp box.
Then he will not have to be run
ning all oxer the house hunting
them up when needed, and an in
dustrious wife can get up the sim
ple material and make this box a:
home. Also in connection wit 11
this box is all the heartfelt love
and encouragement she enn be
stow on him. as it takes this to
make a home happy. Also a
year's subscription to The Geor
gian. MRS. M. M. B.

AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
1 think the best present that
a wife can give her husband is
something to wear that he needs
at Christmas time, aid every
wife knows what he needs most
of all. For my husband's Ghrist-
mas present I am going to give
him an overcoat. T. J. U.

STOVE OR FURNITURE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
i suggest that a very nice and I
useful presen*, for a husband I
would be a nice suite of furniture
or a good cook stove, as either one
could well be appreciated and
seen every day the year round.
Either ’would not be a very ex
pensive gift. H. E. H.
Inman, S. C.
WILL EARN “HIS" GIFT.
Miss Mary l-#ea Davis:
Christmas is the time of all
limes to show, by your gifts to
husband, that you arc ever
thoughtful of his wishes and de
sires. Now, I intend to earn
by my own efforts the price of
the gift I shall give him. which, I
think, would be more appropriate
than if lie had to pay for his own
gift. As my husband is a great
lover of a certain breed of chick
ens and has several nice hens, but
is unfortunate in not having the
male bird that he wants (and 1
believe we should let circum
stances guide us in the selection
of gifts*. 1 am going to give him
a fine male bird that will be “a
thing of beauty and a joy for
ever." and at the same time it
will be a source of great pleas
ure and profit to him everx day
in the year. MRS. B. J.
Atlanta, Ga.
MAKE HER YOUR “PAL."
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best present a husband can
present his wife is to let her
share equally in the joys and sor
rows of her husband. Take her
into his confidence. Never go out
on a pleasure trip nor visit any
place xvhere she can not go. Let
her be your partner in business;
let her know your exact financial
affairs; give her a reasonable

THE VERY THING.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
For my husband I have had
made a small picture of myself
and baby, and have put it in a
little gold locket that can be at
tached to his watch chain. Mv
husband travels, so when tired
out after a hard day’s work he
ha* nothing but the bare com
forts of a hotel to greet him. But
let him open his locket. Presto,
change! He is at home in his
lounging robe and slippers, play
ing with baby, while 1 read The

he is!

A MORRIS CHAIR.
M.v Dear Miss Davis;
f would give my husband a
handsome Morris chair, a good
dinner and & good cigar for bodi
ly refreshment after a day of toil.
If it were possible. F would re
move everything that causes him
■unhappiness or suspense: bu‘.
above all. I would h.ve him have
the "best gift"—the 'ove and
peace of God to keep him at all
times. MRS. \Y. E. D.

AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis;
The most useful present for a
Wife to give her husband is
something he really needs, be it
small or great. She should make
or sax - the money* herself and
give according to her means. One
('hristmas 1 gave a tie and some
handkerchiefs. This Christmas 1
am going to give an overcoat.

A WIFE'S IDEA.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most perfect and appre
ciated gift, to my mind, that a
wife can give her husband on
('hristmas morn is to have the
home in perfect order, a place
for everything, and always keep
it there, well-cooked meals for
that day and a promise to have
the home and meals in above

A BANK ACCOUNT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The first Christmas after I was
married I gave my wife for a
Christmas present a savings ac
count bank book with a $10 de
posit. and, as 1 was working fora
salary, I asked her to let’s re
member her Christmas present at
least once a month until we get
old or when she is left a. widow,
and now, as it is our greatest as
set. 1 think she thinks of it and
appreciates it daily.
At other Christmases since I
have bought her several little
presents, but I don't think she
could show you any of them ex
cept the first one, which she says
xvill be her bungalow Christmas
present some day. So I haven't
decided yet what to give her this
Christmas, but as she is figuring
on the bungalow, I think I will
just give her another fence on the
old present. J. O. M.
Macon, Ga.
A SET OF FURS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A husband should ask his wife
to name over the things she
wishes Christmas. He can then
give her the one he can afford. I
gave my wife a sectional book-
ease last Christmas, as she had
been wanting one a long time.
This. Christmas I am going to
give, her a set of furs that she
longs for. G. \Y. J.
Opelika, Ala.
A ROLL-TOP DESK.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
1 think a roll-top desk and re- j
volving chair, with flexible desk
light with green shade a useful |
present for a husband.
MRS. G. G. P.
Macon, Ga.
FOR HIS HAPPINESS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful present a wife
can give her husband this Christ- 1
mas is a contract, duly signed by
her, that she will cook for him !
for the following year ending
Christmas. 1914: remuneration to i
be love and affection, no more i
late breakfasts, no more burnt
bread, no more indigestion, no
more time lost looking for a nexx
rook; a fuller pantry, a flushed
purse, a rosy-cheeked wife, and
a husband filled with pride an 1
gratitude, whose peace of mind
over his saving* of $4 per week
for 52 weeks completely trans
form him into a contented and
happy husband. AIRS. M. G. ('.
Marietta, Ga.
SOMETHING TO SHOW.
Miss Mar> Lea Davis:
I think the most appropriate
thing to give a husband is a heart
full of love, and get him some
thing within your means, yet
something that he xvill lie proud
of and not ashamed to shoxx his
friends or tell them about.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. C. 11. L.
A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best Christmas gift for my
husband is a dinner cooked by
my oxvn hands, inviting less for
tunate* to partake of the meal
with us. MRS. F. C. L.
Atlanta, Ga.
THE “COMRADE HEART."
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Let husband ami wives seek
their gifts from The Georgian's
advertising columns and they
“shall not err therein." The “com
rade heart" is, after all, the great
est gift in the world. C. B.
Talbotton, Ga.
CUFF BUTTONS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Cuff buttons are a nice pres
ent for a husband. They can be
had with red labels cut from
baking powder cans, or other
coupons. AIRS. S. F.
College Park, Ga.
HER GIFT TO HIM.
Miss Alary Lea Davis:
I think the best suggestion for
my husband would be a year's
subscription to The Georgian and
Sunday American, as he likes to
know the news about the Amet
•leans in Mexico and business af
fairs. AIRS. H. R.
Atlanta, Ga.
GIFT. NOT GIVER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
li isn't the gift but the giver. I
xvould suggest a good dinner, as
husband pays for the present, any
way. Why not make him happy,
while he will enjoy Christmas all
the more, knowing ho has a wife
who thinks of his financial welfare
as much so as Ids personal. I think
a face wreathed in smiles is better
than a mansion wreathed in holly.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. F. M. A.
A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
To be told and made to feel that
you are loved devotedly and appre-
(dated, no matter what station in life,
is worth more than all the gifts
that money ran buy. so on ('hrist
mas day I w ill prepare with my ow n
hands a good, bountiful dinner for
my husband. I shall garnish each
dish xxitli a smile and ('."hristmas
• heer. so that lie will feel it was a
labor of love.
I shall tell him. too, that T ap
preciate him, and 1 am sure this will
gladden Ids heart and cause it to
throb in unison with my own and
we can both realize the true mean
ing of “Peace on earth, good will to-
waiiH men." MRS. C. M. I’.

A KITCHEN CABINET.
Miss Alary Lea Davis:
1 have made my wife a nice
kitchen cabinet for a Christmas

useful present I could give her for
a poor man. T had $2 for material
and $1 for paint and 50 cents for
other material. C. -V. H.

The great popularity of the

better class of stores will
not try to fool you with these
imitations. They will be
offered to you principally by
street fakirs, peddlers and
the candy departments of
some 5 and 10 cent stores.
These rank imitations cost

any price. If you want
