Few people know that all plants contain dlges-
tive principles. They cannot absorb their food
until it is digested any more than animals can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have learned the
art of extracting and utilizing these digestive
principles and IL is for this reason that their
Shaker Digestive Cordial is meeting with such
phenomenal success in the treatment OF dyspel-

tains food already digested, but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the digestion of
other foods that may be eaten with it. single

Justice Hay Unable to Collect n Fine
from u Lads Parents.

Three months ago the Goldstein and Sol
ONION families, of Massachusetts avenue,
aired their differences in several of the JUS
tees courts. 1t began over the arrest of
the eight-year-old son of Joseph Goldstein
at the instigation of David Solomon. The
latter is a shoemaker at 14115 Massachusetts
avenue The case came up in the court of
Justice Hay, where it was shown that the
Goldstein boy had, on numerous occasions.
provoked Solomon and his wife by calling
them names and interfering with them in
their work. On one occasion Solomon
caught the boy and gave him a shaking
and the boy then secured a baseball bat and
struck Mrs Solomon with it several times
For this he was arrested and fined 81 and
costs.
The father of the boy stayed the fine,
which, with costs. amounted to about 500
for ninety days and the boy was allowed to
go home. Monday the time for paying the
fine expired, and a constable was sent to
the home of Goldstein to collect it, but was
unable to do so. The boy was then taken
from school and to the county jail, where
he was kept until Tuesday, and again re-
leased.
The Imprisonment of the boy, and es-
pecially the act-of the consta BILE in taking
him from school. has caused more or less
&C mment and some adverse criticism. One
citizen, in u communication to the Journal,
denounced the action of Justice Hay as an
outrage and one of fragrant heartlessness,
He said the parents of the boy were toe
poor to pay the fine. Justice Hay was
asked yesterday about the case. He said
the boy was about as mean as the mean
est, and that the quarrel involved boil
his parents and the Solomons. he felt tina
a fine which the, BOYS parents would hav,
to pay would doc just When the fine was
stayed he said. it was the agreement that
Goldstein should pay So a week until it
settled, but he had not paid anything, anG
the boy was sent to jail to force the par
ents to settle.
I'm the first place" said Justice Hay
when the complaint was made against tbs
boy / declined to issue the warrant, anC
sent the constable to his parents but they
did not seem to care what the boy did
and made no effort to stop him. Solomon
came again and again. and finally the boy
was arrested. 1t was the only thing that
could be done. The evidence was con-
elusive and there was nothing to be done
but 10 impose a fine.
Since then the Goldsteins have had Sol
ONION arrested, and he has been fined il
several justices courts for his part in the
aSe. The boys parents ought to be made
to pay the fine assessed against the boy il
this court They are simply taking ad-
vantage of the fact that, on account of his
extreme youth, he will not be compelled t.
serve it out. The case was really as mucl
against them as the boy, but as he was the
defendant. the fine was imposed upon him
