arc the three states in which cotton
mill child labor has acquired its most
revolving aspects. In none of these
states is there compulsory education
law. In none is there any educationa
requirement laid on the child who Is
about to enter the factory. In Ala
bama only is there an age limit below
which employment is illegal. And
what law that Alabama law is!
Children must not work IN the mines
till they are 10 years old! Such is the
protection the rising generation Of
Alabama whites receive at the hands
of the state government. To talk
about the children's not being obliged
to be in the mills is to assume an
equality of opportunity which does not
exist. The real responsibility lies on
the northern capitalist and the south
ern legislator. 1t is a responsibility
under which neither Of the two will
long remain comfortable. The public
has learned too much about the real
situation.
Black slavery has vanished from the

The National Disease.

If there is any disease entitled TO such
distinction it is certainly dyspepsia. 1t is
safe to say that not one person in ten enjoys
the blessings Of perfect digestion, strange
though it may seem. Why is this?
Digestion is a slow process by which
nature transforms the food into state
suitable for nourishment for the body. The
time required varies from one to six hours
or more according to the food. In the
hurry, worry and hustle, the striving for the
almighty dollar, the goth century American
fails to give proper heed to natures de-
mands upon his time. He gets up in the
morning, bolts his breakfast without half
chewing 1t, washes it down with hot coffee
or other liquid and rushes oil to his business

this is not done, the food passes into the

THEATERs ANO CHURCHES.

- Pittsburg minister has recently
created quite sensation by announc-
ing to his congregation that he favors
endowing theaters by Christian peo-
pie. While the Times-Recorder does
not desire to dictate nor inflct it's opin-
ion on the general public, it does not
hesitate to say that this Pittsburg
minister has unlocked the Sc same of a
very popular idea Why should the
Christian be cut loose from all the
worlds amusements? The Christian
who see the drama ben Hur" played
on the stage leaves the theater with
high ideals and feels that he is several
miles closer to God.
Is it a fact that church interest
is waning? 1t certainly is, as can be
verified by empty pews all over the
country on church days. This state
of affairs is not because the people are
less religious, for to be sure, the
mass become more religious each
year. We don't mean religion based on
creeds, but an innate religion extant in
the store, the bank and the press
room. Saint and sinner like to be en-
tertained; then if the preacher illus
trates his sermon, which is a species
of theater, it is more attractive than
if he only speaks it. The Lord has
a theater for our entertainment night
and day The curtain rises in the morn
ing and the sun comes on the stage
heraIded by an orchestra of birds.
Night drops her sable curtain and the
moon, chaperoned by stars, comes out
on the ethereal stage and the owl en-
cores.
The Passion Play lasts six months,
and people attend it from all parts of
the world. It is simply the life of
Christ from childhood to his cru
cifxion.
The Passion Play is endowed by the
people of Switzerland and draws larger
crowds than any other theatrical per-
Torrance in the world. The heroes
of the play are discussed every day by
preachers and often to small houses,
but when the characters are repre-
sented by talented actors the auditor
feels enthused and adds a new 1mpe-
tus to his religion. Why can't Chris
tian attend an amusing play like the
"Jucklins and hundreds of other plays
where right IS glorifed and wrong is
censured without feeling that his
standard of morality is lowered? The
Lord made the wild animals that are
aggregated into show Where is the
harm in going to such show?
We feel that a man can attend high
grade play and learn lesson for good
that ennobles his future.

of these juices. With the body fatigued
and continually in action, the blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur-
ally this leaves lot of undigested food in
the stomach that is not only useless but
harmful. Now what ts to be done?
1t must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest,
as it draws on the digestive juices unnatur-
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way Of treating these
cases is to furnish substitute, which must,
in order to be effectual, contain exactly the
same elements in exactly the same proper
tiOns as the natural digestive fluids.
The one preparation which can be abso-
1utely proven to meet these requirements is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t is not an expert
,ment at your expense but the result Of ex-
speriments at our expense. It Is not mere
stimulant to aid digestion, but is itself a
com bination Of all the digestants and actu-
ally digests the food by It's own individual
gpowers Of action without any aid whatever
from the digestive organs. 1t will digest
food even in bottle under proper condi-
tions, temperature etc, SO it certainly
can't help having the same action in the
stomach.

agreeable sort of man in his way-a
man who has literally risen from the

business, is man of ability, but his
business qualifications would not bring
him the honors and attentions that are

the fact that the dominent class of

represents.
After all, money counts for more than
