The Forgotten Woman.
In the effort at improving farm
conditions, which the agricultur
al department is making in
many ways, a new departure is
chronicled. Heretofore, aside
from the police work of pure
food inspection, agricultural
quarantines and the like, the ef
fort has been chiefly toward
promoting the science of produc
tion on the farm, and the promo
tion of knowledge of shipping
and selling. So we are having
consideration of better markets,
better shipping facilities, the ex
tension of rural credits and so
on. ttut now Secretary Houston
calls attention to that long
talked|0f subject, the position of
w&mienmn the farms. One sen
tence of his statement is this:
“On many farms where there
is always mjoney enough to buy
the latest agricultural appliances
there is seldom a surplus to pro
jvide the womjan in her produc
tive work with power machinery
that will lighten her physical
1 labor, or running water that will
relieve her of the burden of car
Tying from the pump all water
that is used in the household.”
For years this has been dis
cussed. The insanity of farm
ers’ wives from lonliness and
bard work has been one phase of
the crying evil and need for bet
ter social conditions in the coun
try.
The department sent circulars
to 55,000 farmers’ wives, asking
them to state their needs. The
response was large and pathetic.
The overwork of farm women,
and the fear of the effect of it on
their children, was the burden of
many replies. Many asked the
department to prove to the men
that the women’s work is worth
something in dollars and cents.
Others said that their own lot is
hopeless, and asked only that
better schools, cheaper books,
more lectures, libraries and mu
seums be provided for their chil
dren.
The conclusion is what has
been recognized for years, that
the neglect of women on the
farm is an atrocious reality, a
'serious indictment of our civili
zation. More comfort, more con
j veniences, more company are
crying needs in the life of the
! farmers’ wives. Bathrooms are
| worth more than automobiles,
running water more than some
rifViov thinors
It is in keeping with the
American spirit of optimism to
feel that things are not so bad
! as they have been with all of the
recent acquisitions of the far
mer. But these are only feeble
beginnings. If social workers
want to reach one of the sorest
spots in our civilization, and
want to save the fine woman
hood, that is wearing itself out
in hopeless and largely needless
drudgery, let them seek to know
the routine of daily life among
women on the farm It is a na
tion-wide condition, and a pitiful
one.—Memphis News-Scimitar.

Initiate Child Labor Law.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 3.—An ef
fort is being made to initiate a
| child labor law in Arkansas, and
(petitions are now being circu
lated. H. H. Jones, special a
'gent of the National Child La
bor Committee, has just come
to the state from the National
Conference on Child Labor in
New Orleans, and is directing
the campaign.
“The present law in Arkan
sas,” says Mr. Jones, “is for all
purposes as bad as the laws in
the Carolinas, Alabama or Geor
gia, which are a disgrace to the
nation. Every bit of vitality
in it is destroyed by exemptions.
The fact that child labor is not
now as serious a problem in this
state as in some others, is no
excuse for our being indifferent
to the need for better protective
legislation. It is probably much
more serious right now than
some of us realize, and now is
- - -*
! the time to get a good child
| labor law instead of waiting
I blindly until the evil grows and
Testers, as most of the states
have done.”
The bill which has been pre
pared in the form of a petition
under the initiative and referen
dum law,wa^drafted by the State
Federation of Labor in co-oper
ation with the National Child
Labor Committee. It is based
upon the uniform child labor
law drafted four years ago by
the United States Commission
ers on Uniform Legislation, and
endorsed by the American Bar
Association. Though much
more concise, it contains the
principal provisions of this law.
WISHED SHE
COULD DIE
And Be Free From Her Trouble*)
but Rods Better Way.
Columbia, Tenn.—"Many a time,"
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, or this place,
"I wished I would die and be relieved
Of my suffering, from womanly troubles,
I could not get up, without pulling ai
something to help me, and stayed in bed
most of tne time, 1 could not do my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and 1 would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally. 1
took Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
am not bothered with pains any more,
and I don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
I am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.

found in that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to

after using them found I had never
