The notion that a wife's advice 8 not worth taking is unhappily preva- Jent among some married men. They say, ‘Ob, thet is only a woman's fan- cy," and so reject counsel that 1s not only well meant, but eminently level-headed. How many men might be-better off today in health, purse and morals {f they had Mstened to their wives. Albert Gray of Baldwin avenue, Everett, Mase., is thankful that he Ustened to bis wife. Mrs, Gray in this modest style tells the story: “My busband was terribly afflicted, to such an extent that he could not ride In a car. He used to bear down on the seat with bis hands to break the jar. Walking was no less painful. The doctor said he had lumbago, but Mr. Gray felt sure he was coming down with Bright's disease. Fortu- bately, be took my advice and began the use of a preparation which I knew was valuable because it had done my mother so much good. “Half a bottle helped bim, and when he had taken six bottles he had mutch as a backache. Mr. Gray cannot speak too highly of Safe Cure, and he believes that {f he bad not taken it he would now haye been dead of Bright's disease.”’ ‘The everlasting wearing out of human tissue things, In a deadly poison called uric acid. If the kidneys do not take this foe to life from the blood the work will not be done at all and Bright's disease will soon be established.

GOVERNMENT ‘HASGIVEN CONTRACT Hundreds of: Applications for the Work: Being Made. WHAT OFFICIALS SAY a Gre Hundreds of women have applied for Places to pack and distribute seeds for the Department of Agriculture. The contractor, the Market Gardeners’ Association of New York, has established an office at No. 306 10th street northwest, and there all appli- cations are received and registered. From early morning until late in the afternoon girls, young and old women and men, toil up the steep stairs, eagerly seeking the chance to earn their bread. Those who do not tell in sorrowful accents some story of woe, as the majority do, find even more eloquent pleaders in their sad faces and thin, faded clothing. Among them are brave girls, striving to be father and mother to orphaned little ones; widows of men who gave their lives for their country; young women seeking to be self-supporting; men who have tramped day after day for situa- tions that never come, and even aged folks, who must work or find refuge in the poor house. Each is kindly received, and his or her 1 of need is patiently, often sympa- thetieally, heard. Those who are smart and active will very likely find employment; the others will be turned away. Of all the number only one hundred will be required, but it is probable that many of the other applicants will be afforded an opportunity now and then to earn a few dollars. The packing will not begin for some time yet, as the contractor has not received the seeds to be used. It is sald that they are now on their way from California, and that in view of the long distance they cannot be here under five or six weeks, or the first of the new year, at any rate. The contractor states that he has not yet determined what wages will be paid, but it is credibly reported to The Star that no packer will be able to earn more than 50 cents a day. One who can put seeds in 2,500 packages a day is considered expert, and for this, it is stated, the rate of 20 cents a thousand will be given. According to this, the majority who cannot keep up that pace will earn under 3) cents when they are able to work a day. Sweat Shop Wages. “Those are ‘sweat shop’ wages,” indig- nantly said The Star's informant today. “Think of it, to work all day in the midst DISCUSSION ‘OF HISTORY C. Whiskey “It pleases the eye and flatters the palate,” said an authority among good livers, speaking of O. F. C. Whiskey. The govern- ment stamp of age, purity and strength is om every bottle. Be sure and motice it. Bear in mind that O. F. C. is purest and best. Educators, Students and Authors to Meet in New Haven, Local Institutions Represented in Its Membership—List of Officers and Directors—Changes-Suggested. The annual meeting of the American His- torical Society, which will be held in New Haven, Conn., during the latter part of this month, is expected to be far-reaching in its results. The convention will be under the auspices of the faculty of Yale University and the New Haven Historical Society. The organization has a membership of 1,200, representative of all the chief edu- cational institutions of the country, and including all of America’s leading historical educators, students and authors. The Joins Hopkins University of Baltimore, the Smithsonian Institution of this city, and, in fact, almost all the well-known seats of learning throughout the land, are repre- sented in the membership by prominent Members of the several faculties, and at the coming convention will be represented, among others, by some of its most promi- nent men. The program for the various sessions is in the hands of the professors of history of GEO — STAGG CoO Yale University, and has not been a e Le °9 nounced. Of chief interest, however, will be a discussion of the report of a committee Frankfort, Ky. of seven representatives of as many promi- nent universities, recommending changes in =] present historical courses in’ secondar: ¥ maa oe schools. ‘The report will denounce the pres SE igiaiiensiipiadiait soon ent incomplete courses, and will object to s aie) euinyworeinaat precise Lansburgh & Bro. + Rome to the exclusion of more important torical knowledge. .

An important result of th meeting ts ex- pected to be the kening of wider int»r- est in the possibilities of the south for h toric and economic research. The execu- tive council, in looking about for pron fields oe work in line with the. society's objects, has determined upon the south as one of the richest in America, and the program will reflect this interest in various papers calculated to attract attention to southern annals. Efforts will be made to arouse interest among historical instructors and students throughout the south, and yal- uable literature is to be added to existent annals of th> south, from the historical and economical standpoints.
