CHILDREN WHO TOLL,
Public Conscience Awakening to the
Extent of This Evil.


Extent of This Evil.
An encouraging sign of the times
is the awakening of the public coa-
science to the evil of child labor in
this country. Somewhat over a
decade ago brief period of agitation
resulted in the passage of no little
prohibitive legislation, directed moro
especially against the factory owners
Iof New England and some of the
middle states, and the evil received a
temporary check. The recrudescence
of this particularly vicious form OF
wrong-doing, striking as it does ct
the foundation of the nations pros
perity and perpetuity, the well-being
of our future men and women, has
again aroused public opinion to
action, and several state legislatures
have recently taken steps toward
curbing the greed of employers of
child labor.
1t is startling to learn from the
census bureau reports that, notwith-
standing the many attempts at re-
form in this direction, one million.
seven hundred and fifty thousand
children between the ages of ten and
fifteen years were reported in 1900 as
engaged in gainful occupations"
writes Robert Webster Jones in the
Housekeeper. Not all, of course, are
subjected to such deplorable treat
ment as is described in that re-
markedly striking book, THE Woman
Who Tolls" The author, who OBJ
tanned her information at first hand
by entering factories as an ostensible
wage-earner, says of one of these
places: Among the older hands VIII
have begun work early there is not a
straight pair of shoulders. Much of
the work is done by children~ from
twelve to fourteen years of age On
their slight, frail bodies toll weighs
heavily, the delicate child form gives
way to the iron hand of labor pressed
too soon upon it, Backs bend eartn,
ward, chests recede, never to be
sound again. Born into dirt and ugli-
ness, disfigured by effort, they have

the same heritage as we: joy and
sorrows, grief and laughter Grief is
doing her ugly work; following
round cheeks, blackening bright eyes,
putting her weight of leaien loneli-
ness in hearts heretofore light with
youth"
And We have not yet done boasting
because negro slavery was banished
from the land,

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents

Many mothers are ignorant of the seri-

the clothing of an infant with strong

this reason it should be Numbered at

81 hired a girl to mind the chill

could. | couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as | was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones So
/ got up after few days, and let
the girl go. l had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to anv of the Others Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
Seeth, l didn't think much of that.
Even when rash broke out on his
face l wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew

and thought nothing about it.
"But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,

faint and my back throbbed with

to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
II believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching. they told
me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and

Some People
Can't Eat
Bread

Bread is reputed to be the "staff
of life" yet there are some people
who never eat bread. We allude
to this because of a curious paral-
lei fact in medicine. If even bread
does not suit quite everybody, we
don't expect one medicine, even
Vinol, to cure everybody.
But we recommend Vinol and
sell it on a guarantee of money
back if it does not benefit the user.
Though we can't expect all to
be cured, yet, strange to say, out
of every one hundred bottles sold,
less than two per cent proved
unsatisfactory. In other words,
ninety-e;ght out of every hundred
found Vinol of value - many of
them of very great value.
We want to say that if you are
rundown, weak, too thin, ailing,
with bad stomach, poor appetite,
cough, nervousness, that we think
Vinol will help you. At any rate,
it will cost nothing to try it. =
You can have your money back if
you say it doesn't help you. Vinol
has a pleasant taste, and is recon-
mended by physicians as safe
ndunusually effective body-builder
and general tonic.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vinol's companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee.
