Well, times are hard but there is

scarce.
It won’t be very long till we will
be on our way J:o the law ground

poor we are on that day. Our land
that we gave several thousand dol¬

worth a hundred or two, and our
old horses and mules, cows, etc.,
are worth nothing at ail but when
a fellow comes to buy one from us
they get to going up pretty fast.
We people are funny folks any¬
how when you begin to linker with

takes all sorts os people to make a

kind of a world? Maybe if this

and find out their ways it would
do better. We are told of a better
world but we are slow to catch on.

The hour has struck in this com¬

your daughter or son is not undei

all means know their whereabouts.
J especially at night,
Who are their associates?
Have you inquired into this
phase of your girl or boy’s welfare?
Do you know the reputation of
those with whom they are likely to
Come in contact daily, and have
you warned them of the dtreftl con¬
sequence of association with ques¬
tionable character, male or female?
If you know these things and
have NOT warned the souls in
your chasge, then you are us guilty
of wrong as the poor wretches who
would pull innocence and virtue
down to their sordid level. Fur¬
thermore, you are not fit for par¬
entage to wilfully go on front day
to day and not lend the weight ol
your example and influence in
stamping out the hydra-headed
monster of iniquity that menaces
the present and future of your girl
and boy every passing hour.

worid, leaving our children largely
to blaze their own trail, without
parental safeguard and proper
warning of the dangers lurking on

cence strive to reach the pinnacle
of right-living we would have them
occupy.

while all around us insidious poi¬

one of God’s own.

inglorious failure, we here
now CALL UPON THE
WOMANHOOD, of this commun¬

Babies’ Stomach Troubles

The season of the year is here when
teething babies die. Teeth do not

'be baby gets sick it Is diagnosed as
"Teething." Who among you recal.s
such condition In the winter time?
presume that babies never "cut teeth’*
in the cold weather. They just pos «
pone the cutting until flies come 04
purpose. Get the "teething" out cfl
your mind. Usually the baby has
diarrhoea and dysentery front want < J
proper care. Its environment, foe (
and.files are the things that give u-j
these diseases.
Hot weather alters the nursery surv
roundings, and unless mothers are ex
ceedlngly careful, disturbances of th<<
stomach and bowels will claim man;'*
victims. Milk Is the natural food fi*
children; they need and ought to havif
plenty of it. It must be clean, const -

When your baby is sick call him and!
do not neglect doing so too longj
Proper treatment given early will be*
much the cheapest and by far that
