C, Jan. 25 and 26, 1909. Syllabi of Conference Resolutions. 1. Home Care. Children of worthy parents or deserving mothers should, as a rule, be kept with their parents at home. 2. Preventive Work. Society should endeavor to eradicate causes of de pendency like disease and to substi tute compensation and insurance for relief. 3. Home Finding. Homeless and neglected children, if normal, should be cared for in families, when prac ticable. 4. Cottage System. Institutions should bo on the cottage plan with small units as far as possible. 5. incorporation. Agencies caring for dependent children should be in corporated, on approval of a suitable state board. 6. State Inspection. The state should inspect the work of all agen cies which care for dependent child ren. 7. Inspection of Educational Work. Educational work of institutions and agencies caring for dependent child ren should be supervised by state educational authorities. 8. Facts and Records. Complete histories of dependent children and their parents should be recorded for guidance of child-caring agencies. 9. Physical Care. Every needy child should receive the best medical and surgical attention, and be in structed in health and hygiene. 10. Co-operation. Local child-caring agencies should co-operate and estab lish joint bureaus of information. 11. Undesirable Legislation. Pro hibitive legislation against transfer of dependent children between states should be repealed. 12. Permanent Organization. A permanent organization for work of these resolutions If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest or you belch Gas and Eructate sour, undigested food or have a feeling of Dizziness, Heartburn, Fullness, Nausea, Bad taste in mouth and Stomach headache this is Indigestion. A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs only 50 cents and will thoroughly cure the wrorst case of Dyspepsia, and leave sufficient about the house in case some one else in the family may suffer from Stomach trouble or Indigestion. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on these 50-cent cases, then you will under stand why Dyspeptic trouble of all kinds must go, and why they usually relieve a sour stomach or Indigestion in five minutes. Get a case now next meal. They are harmless and taste like candy, though each contains pow er sufficient to digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food yoi eat ; besides, it makes you go to the table with a hearty, healthy appetite; but, what will please you most is that you will feel that your Stomach and intestines are clean and fresh, and you will need to resort to laxatives or liver pills for Biliousness or Constipa tion. This city will have many Diapepsin cranks, as some people will call them but you will be cranky about this splendid stomach prescription, too, if you ever have Indigestion or Gastritis or any other Stomach misery, and eat just one Triahgule of Diapepsin.

Suggest special message to con gress favoring Federal Children's Bureau and other legislation apply ing above principles to District of Columbia and other Federal territory. Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, Pres- dent of the United States. Sir: Having been invited by you to participate in a conference on the Care of Dependent Children, held at Washington, D. C, Jan. 25-26. 1909. and having considered at the sessions of such conference the various phases of the subject as stated in the mem orandum accompanying your letter of invitation, and such others as have been brought before us by the execu tive committee, we desire to express the verv great satisfaction felt by each member of his conference in the deeD interest you 'have taken in the well-being of dependent children, me proper care of destitute children nas indeed an important oearmg upon tne welfare of the nation. We now know so little about them as not even to know their number, but we know that there are in institutions about and that many additional thousands are in foster or boarding homes. As a step, therefore, in the conservation of the productive capacity ot me people, and the preservation of high standards of citizenship, and also oe cause each of these children is en titled to receive humane treatment adequate care, and proper educa tion. vour action in calling this con ferencc, and your participation m onen ntr and Closing sessions, have, we believe, a profound effect j upon the well-being of many tnous- ands of children, ana upon me na tion as a whole. Concerning the particular objects to which you called attention in the invitation to this conference, and the additional subjects brought before us by the executive committee, our con clusions are as follows: Home Care. 1. Home life is the highest and finest product of civilization. It is the great molding force of rnind and of character. Children should not be deprived of it except for urgent and compelling reasons. Children ot parents of worthy character, bund ing from temporary misfortune, and hiiHrpn of reasonably efficient and mothers who are without suitable homes fo rthe rearing of the children. This aid should be given by such methods and from such sources as may be determined by the general relief policy of each community, pre ferably i nthe form of private char ity, rather than of public relief. Ex cept in unusual circumstances, the home should not be broken up for reasons of poverty, but only for con siderations of inefficiency or im morality. Preventive Work. 2. The most important and valu able philanthropic work is not the curative, but the prevenive; to check dependency by a thorough study of . its causes and by ef fectivcly remedying or eradicating them, should be the constant aim, of society. Along these lines we urge upon all friends of children the pro motion of effective measures, includ ing legislation, to prevent blindness; to check tuberculosis and other dis eases in dwellings and work places, and injuries in hazardous occupations; to secure compensation or insurance so as to provide a family income in case of sickness, accident, death, or invalidism of the breadwinner; to pro mote child-labor reforms, and gen enerally, to improve the conditions surrounding diild life. To secure these ends we urge efficient cooperation with all other agencies for social bet terment. Home Finding. 3. As to the children who for suffi cient reasons must be removed from their own homes, or who have no homes, it is desirable that, if normal in mind and body, and not requiring special training, they should be cared for in families whenever practicahle. The carefully selected foster home is for the normal child the best substi tute for the natural home. Such homes should be selected by a most careful process of investigation, car ried on by skilled agents, through personal investigation, and with due regard to the religious faith of the child. After children are placed in homes, adequate visitation, with care ful consideration of the physical, men tal, moral, and spiritual training and development of each child,- on the part of the responsible home-finding agen cy, is essential. It is recognized that tor many chil dren foster homes without payment for board, are not practicable imme diately after the children become de pendent, and that for children requir ing temporary care only the free home is not available. For the temporary or more or less permanent, care of such children different methods are in use, notably the plan of placin them in families, 'paying' for their board, and the plan of institutional care. Contact with family life is pref erable for these children, as well as for other normal children. It is neces sary however, that a large number of carefully selected boarding homes be found if these children are to be cared for in families. The extent to which such families can be found should be ascertained by careful in quiry and experiment in each locali ty. Unless and until such homes are found, the use of institutions is ne cessary. , ' ENTIRE ATTENTION devoted to fitting glasses. Eyes ex amined carefully with latest methods Glasses fitted correctly.

So far as it may be found neces sary temporarily or permanently to care for certain classes of children in institutions, these institutions should be conducted on the cottage plan, in order that routine and impersonal care may not. unduly suppress individuality and initiative. The cottage unit shuold not be larger than will per mit effective personal relations be tween the adult caretaker or care takers of each cottage and each child therein. Twenty-five is suggested as a desirable cottage unit, subject to revision in the light of further experi ence in the management of cottage in stitutions.
