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.

Every woman, xx nether her means be limited or otherwise, can offer a husband j this appreciated, rare and price less gift. I give my husbajid and he gives me each Christmas a certain amount of money. Sometimes we spend it for personal wants; oth er times we combine the amount and purchase something suitable that xve both can enjoy. Ashburn, Ga. MRS. R. S. 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.

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.
