Kllot. president emeritus of Harvard University, holds that unless a remedy is found speedily for the evils of the factory system a terrible physical and moral degen eracy will result. "Wc have come through the period of immigration pretty saf*.” said he. "The American republic has the pe culiar function of lifting up the peo ple of the Old World. "But city life and the factory s>s- tetn. which keeps the immigrant boy and girl and man in the cities, is do ing untold harm to the newcomers physically and 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 and intelligence do not find the remedy. I foresee a terrible physical anti moral degeneracy, already visi- ' similar to that existing in the Eng lish factory centers to-day. We must struggle against it. "The family life arid family dis cipline have greatly changed. When I was a boy I went to the Boston Latin School to prepare for Harvard, as 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 a.r educated in boarding and private schools.” Mrs. F. J. Shepherd Bars Out Hunters TA RAYTOWN, X. V. Dec. 15. Mrs. Finley J.

Miss Mary Lea Davis 1 suggest that u very nice and useful present for a husband 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. Jnman, S. C. WILL EARN “HIS" GIFT. Miss Alary Lea Davis: Christmas is the time of all times to show, by your gifts to husband, that you are ever thoughtful of his wishes and de sires. Now, 1 intend to earn by my own efforts the price qf the gift I shall give him. which, l think, would be more appropriate than if he 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), I am going to give hint 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 every day in the year. MRS. B. J. Atlanta, Ga. MAKE HER YOUR "PAL."

Opelika, Ala. A WIFE’S IDEA.

Sometimes we spend it for personal wants; oth er times we combine the amount and purclia.se something suitable that we both can enjoy. Ashburn, Ga. MRS. R. S. A BANK ACCOUNT. Miss Mary Lea Davis: The first Christmas after 1 was married I gave my wife for a Christmas present a savings ac count bank book with a $10 de posit. and, as I was working for a salary, 1 asked ner 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, I 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 will be her bungalow Christmas present some day. So 1 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.

FOR HIS HAPPINESS. Miss Mary Lea Davis: The most useful present a wife can give her husband this Christ mas is a. contract, duly signed b\ her, that she will cook for him for the following year ending Christmas, 1914; remuneration to be love and affection, no more late breakfasts, no more burnt bread, no more indigestion, no more time lost looking for a new cook; a fuller pantry, a Hushed purse, a rosy-cheeked wife, and a husband filled with pride and gratitude, whose peace of mind over his savings of $4 \ or week for 52 weeks completely trans form him into a contented and happy husband. MRS. M. G. C. Marietta, Ga. SOMETHING TO SHOW.

MRS. H. R. Atlanta, Ga. < GIFT. NOT GIVER. Miss Mary Lea Davis: It isn’t the gift but the giver. T would suggest a good slimier, as husband nays for the present, any way. Why not make him happy, while he will enjoy Christmas all the more, knowing he has a wife who thinks of bis financial welfare as much so as his personal. I think a face wreathed in smiles is better than a mansion wreathed tn holly. Atlanta, Ga. MRS. F. M. A- A CHRISTMAS DINNER. Miss Mary Lea Davis: To be told and made to feel that ..it are loved devotedly and appre ciated. no matter what station in life, i* worth more than all the gifts that money can buy. so on Christ mas day 1 will prepare with my own bands h good, bountiful dinner for mv husband. I shall garnish each dish with a smile and Christmas •beer, so that he will feel it was a labor of love.
