DYSPEPTICIDE Tha greatest aid to DIGESTION- CHILDREN FED TO MOLOCH D:\ Felix Adler Thus Characterizes the Labor of Children. Humanitarians as well as material ists have raised their voices in pro tost against the laws that permit the traffic in children's strength at the expense, not merely of the child, but of the community. Collier's Weekly voices this protest and makes incidental comment upon conditions in Pennsylvania in the fol lowing editorial: ChiM labor in England began when modern machinery brought a demand lor cheap operatives. Then, as Dr. Felix Adler has said, somebody had the idea of shoveling all the unowned find unloved children into factories. "Children were fed to machines as lit cralb as in ancftuit idolatry they were fed to Moloch." They worked for four teen hours a day and rotted by tha thousand. A parliamentary inquiry showed the case of a seven year-old boy whose lather used to wake him before daybreak, carry him to the mill and leave him there to tend a ma h ne for sixteen hours a day. Woi::u crawled through two-foot galleries on their hands and l:ne: dr. ;ging by a long (haln attached to a lecther belt n cart holding three hurdred or four hundie l pounds of coal. "How is it," asked the strong Jewish thinker, "that human beings are capable of such bru tality?" Why is ii that in Kngiand, an Anglo-Saxon country, where woman is supposed to be a kind of goddess, the womanhood was crushed out of little girls and grown women groveled and dragged carts?" Two years ago there were 20,000 children under twelve years of age at work in our southern states. Pennsylvania has 35,000 under sixteen, the greater number of th'-m under twelve. Elizabeth llarrett Erownlng once asked of England, "llow long, oh cruel nation, will you trample on a child's heart?" "This," says Dr. Adler, "is not Russia. What do vcu think of our own czars of in dustry?" tDATENTC tra d d¥.'SXlks 11 :i AI til 10" M „s§ H,s i y ADVICE AS TO PATENTABILITY ■"■Hfl" < ► Notice ia " Inventive Age " pi Bk Hpi < ► Book "Ltonr tooblaiu Patents" ( llfalla 1 i Charges moderate.

Let an EXPERT BUGGY MAKER "T.nT INSIDE FACTS of our vehicle interests, bought two buggies from the same house the other day. One cost $ 18.00 more than the other. Theft he took the buggies all apart to see just why one was higher priced than the other. Here is what he found out : Both buggies had exactly the same seat and back, same size body, same wheels, shafts and everything else, except that the higher priced one had 14-oz. cloth trimmings instead of Keratol, found in the cheaper ; a leather boot, instead of rubber ; a better axle, and the finish on the woodwork was slightly better, but not very much.
