It means that manufac- turing and working conditions in Eng- land are such that it is impossibie to compete therewith and maintain the conditions which prevail here as te hours of labor and wages and in both these instances are New England industries feeling the effect of the new tariff. It is a situation which has even brought forth democratic criticism in the. Massachusetts legislature and the voting of a rebuke to Secretary Dan- fels by both parties, These are not the only industries which are aiready feeling the effects of the unpatriotic and unjust tariff conditions if the hosiery and under- wear manufacturers are to be be- lfeved. What the new tariff means to this industry is revealed by the statement of one man to the effect that he, is confronted with haif time for the first year since Cleveland's seécond administration, by that of an- other who has gone out of business rather than attempt to continue un- der the conditions prevailing, and by the import records which show that the hosiery imports for March were 72.8 greater than in the same month last year. It is no wonder that bus- iness conditions are discouraging and that both parties are protesting, for with the lesséned business there comes no reduction in the goods which are sent in from abroad. The American people are the losers and the losers at both ends. A CRYING NEED. LAttle has been heard at this ses- slon of the national legislature in re- gard to the establishment of a budgetl system for the regulation of the ex- penses and appropriations in accord- ance with the income. A recognition of the need of such an aid to business- like methods was recognized during the last administration and a strong effort made to secure its adoption, but without result. It is not a mat- ter which will improve through pro- crastination, but it is a matter which should be taken up and put into oper- atfon at the earliest possible moment that the nation’s business may be car- Ted on with a knowledge of condi- tions, what is being done and what there is to do it with, Just how wrong is the present meth- od and how great is the need for re- form is revealed by the recent ex- perience .of the Springfield Republi- can which as it says “had occasion to seek certain figures relating to one of the largest appropriation bills, now pending. It is not important to spe- cify which bill, for while the secretary of the committee in charge individually exhibited ' incompetence the results were in the main symptomatic of gen- eral conditions. So far as congress was concerned sufficiently detailed figures as to the cost of work under- taken and new work to be authorized ‘were not to be obtained. Yet they ‘were exactly such figures as any board ot directors or executive committes would expect at once to be set befors it in eonducting any private business.” This shows how much floundering around in the dark is being done when approprialions are heing considered. For the bemefit of legislators and the elimination of waste the budget sys- tem is one of the crying needs of con- gress, aET THE BEST.

There was a time when kindergartens were few and far be- tween and they are not particularly numerous today, but in ten years kin- dergartens in this country have grown from 3,244 with 205,000 children to 7,557 kindergartens enroling 364,189 children. And yet with all this in- crease in the number of these schools and the encouragemeént which goes with it, the great majority of the chil- dren are still without the, advantages of kindergarten training. Despite the increase of over 100 per cemt. in the number of schools only nine per cent of the children of kindergaften age— 4 to 6—are in kindeérgartema. Kindergartens like many other good things have progressed fmom private philanthropy to public support. First there were private kindemgartens, re- garded as more or less of a luxury for the well-to-do after which good men and women began to provide “charity” kindergartens for the poor and neglected children; churches, set- tlements, Kkindergarten associations and mill ownérs gave and continue generous support and then:through the recognized good and need of such in- struction it has gradually found its place in the public school swstem with increased attention for its sup- port and betterment, & While the figures show it to be a growing department of school work the fact is as stated by ome of the experts that the surest guarantee of kindergarten extension rests with the teachers and the good@ work which they do.

Also, why would he oppose improving our municipal wharf and outlet to the Franklin street sewer and go to Washington at the head of a committee on a four days’ excursion at an expense of $400 to the taxpayers to boom a canal to Putnam?

Wheeler, president of the national chamber of commerce and vice-president of the Union Trust company of Chicago, says: “There is every cause for a conservative opti- mism in the business world.” AMr. Wheeler adds an interesting “conservative firm belief in the soundness of basic reckiess speculation.” The confidence of Mr. Wheeler seems well placed. Careful investigation re- veals nothing in nationwide business ought to furnish grounds for alarm.

You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. Thanks to a remarkable new sclen- tific discovery, ibl combine into simple form th e ments needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into Tieh, fat-laden blood. This master-stroke of modern chemistry is called Bargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh- builders. Bargol aims through its re- generative, reconstructive wers to coax the stomach and intestines to lit- erally soak up the fattening elements vision street sidewalk has been seitled perhaps the city officials (under his guidance) might have time to take a walk over the municipal sidewalk from Laurel Hill bridgs to River avenue af- ter a rain and compare it with the walks they now have on Division street and see if there are any less holes fill- ed with water to step over or_ into.

One hundred and eighteen years ago to-day the world’s first vacci- nation by a physiclan was per- formed. On that day Dr. Edward Jenner, an English doctor, who had devoted 8 years to studying the subject, drew lymph from the hand of Sarah Newles, a milkmaid who had contracted cowpox while milk- ing cows., He applied it to the arm of an eighteen vear old boy, named James Philipps. It was the be- ginning of the conquest of small- pox. At that time small-pox was causing one-tenth of all the deaths of th:‘mmm race, It had destroy- ed or disfigured more than a fourth of mankind. It killed more than 50,000,000 KEuropeans during the eighteenth century. The absence of pock-marks in those days was a means of Indentification. The Lon don peélice department issued the following description of a criminal sought in the seventeenth century: “Thomas Bayly, a shert, burly man, fair and fresh-colored, without pock-marks——" Before the als- covery of vaccinatien, smali-pox was as prevalent as bronchitis is to-day., A half century before Jenner gave his discevery to the ;voovrld.. the dread “'f:n. wiped I;ilt per cent of Green] a- tien in a single xo‘r, The m explorers carried it to the New ‘Werld, and three years after Cortes had landed in Mexico over 8,860,000 natives -had falien vietims to the sceurge, Mere Nerth American Indians fell befere its invasion than fell befere the white man’s n, !‘h..no umber is eStimated as fl.tl has also been very the citizens putting their sidewalks in proper condition, and now that the Di- THEN——and NOW To-day vaccination has made small-pox a negligible factor in the list of human ills. It has prac- tically driven it out of existence as a. scourge of nations. Backed by the authority of law in many ¢oun- tries, medical science has inoculat- ed the civilized races and made a pock-marked face a rarity to-day. Before Jenner discovered vaccina- tion England reported small-pox cases at the rate of 4,000 to every million inhabitants. To-day the vaccine point has reduced the rate to 20 to each million. Unlversal vaccination is compulsory in Ger- many and the rate has fallen to less than two to a million. It is rated at one case in a mlillion peo- pleé in Sweden to-day.
