There is danger of being too late in
putting restless baby into short
clothes, but the time for this operation
varies much with the season and with
the child \ large fat baby must have
his clothes shortened earlier. He can
not wear them long after he is four
months old, and delicate, puny babe
must wear them until the weather is
warm enough to make the change
without danger. Six months is an av-
erage age. 1t must not be forgot, how
ever, that in six months an infant al
most doubles in size, and in making
his first clothes this must be allowed
for. Long clothes at any age are now
adays only just long enough to thor
oughly protect the feet and legs. They
do not sweep to the floor even when
babies are on dress parade What this
sensible change of custom means to the
little one is past calculation. Many a
child has been dragged out of existence
by the long robes English fashion in

The latest theory, and AZ very ingen-
ious one, writes Frank Wilbert Stokes
of "The Aurora Borealis" in the Cen
tury, is that of Unterweger, who sup
poses that cosmic ether, which fills the
celestial spheres, when met by the
earth's movement is compressed or
condensed in front of the earth in the
direction of its movement and dilated
or rarefied, on the contrary, behind IT..
This cosmic ether is more condensed
before the earth than that which is
borne along in the whirl of the world
at from thirty-three to forty-four miles
per second and is more raretied behind.
she result is that one half of the earth,
or the northern hemisphere, will be
negatively electrified and the southern
half positively electrified with the
space regions which they are leaving
Only the magic of the spectroscope will
probably push aside the curtains of
this grand mystery and reveal the
truth.

CONVEX LABOR.
Governor of Massachusetts Proposes
to Employ State Prisoners.

0oVeruOr Oh MasknchuSettS frOpOBcS
to Employ State Prisoners.
This week in news and editorial col
umns we have explained Governor
Bates plan for employing convicts to
make desert lands and waste places
into beautiful green spots. where birds
will come and flowers will grow and
the whole state will reap some advan-
tage.
1t is worth notice how all over the
state there has been sweeping, unani-
NOUS Endorsement of Governor Bates
position in this matter. Everybody who
has had anything to say about it is en-
thusiastic in its favor We are free to
say that we had an idea that labor
unions might oppose the plan, but
there has not been one word of fight
from them. From Springfield to the
Cape everybody says it would be a
good idea and that the state should fol-
low up Governor Bates suggestions
this year.
The fact is of course that people are
coming to learn the grim, horrible facts
about prison life. They know that to
droves to the madhouse sooner or later.
They know also that the power of the
labor unions keeps the convicts from
having the common ordinary kinds of
work at which the convicts may be self
supporting. so Governor Bates in pro-
posing that the men should put in their
time at making waste land tremendous
ly valuable has struck the popular sym
pathy at once.
There has been some idea that the
people of the Cape would fight this
move. We are glad to say that this is
not so. The people on the Cape know
that only small gangs of men are to be
kept at work in any one district, and
that there will be no more danger there
than there is in CharleGtown today

Home For Working Girls.

Recently there was opened in Boston
by II corporation of benevolent persons
nonsectarian home for working girls.
The only dividend the home is expected
to pay to the stockholders is the com
Portable feeling of good work well
accomplished. Whatever surplus the
small rates charged may cause to ac-
cumulate will be used in adding to the
comforts of the home. Already for the
payment of $3.50 week a girl may get

However willingly we may concede
that compulsory arbitration is prefera-
BILE to repeated coal famines or other
famines involving any of the necessa-
ries OF life, we believe that public opin-
ion in this country is not yet quite
ready TO submit disputes between en-
ployers and their employees over
wages to courts of arbitration. That
means of settling disputes will be
adopted reluctantly if at all and only
as IA last resort. The conciliatory meth
ods urged by the National Civic feder-
alton have been surprisingly success
full, showing that in many cases it is
only necessary in order to secure ar
amicable settlement to bring the par
ties to the dispute together. In impor.
tant strikes where efforts at concilia-
ton have failed the natural course
would seem to be the appointment of u
commission of inquiry to lay the facts
before the public and recommend ba-
sis of settlement. If either employers
or trades unions should refuse to be
governed by the findings of such com
missions it may become necessary il
exceptional instances to resort to more
drastic methods for maintaining indus
trial peace.-New York Mail and Ex.

With reference to Chancellor vor
the kaisers social policy the Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times says
the condition of the German working
classes does not compare favorably
with that of the English and American
workmen, who would not change
places with the Germans for the sake
of the small old age pension and state
aid in the case of sickness.
The position of the women, he says,
is miserably inferior to that of English
and American workingwomen and the
hours OF work of English people a
whole age ahead of those of their con
tinental brethren

In 1s4S, Rev. Father John OBrien,
noble man, came to Lowell, Mass, to
do the Masters work in St. Patricks
Parish He built schools, churches and
hospitals for the sick, and lived life
devoted to his Church, and the spiritual
and material well-beng of his people
which, in his spiritual and charitable
nature and liberality Of mind, included
all mankind
Besides his duties of Church and ad-
mnistraton, he was ever visiting the
afflicted, cheering and encouraging the
unfortunate. No matter what the
weather in winters storm or summers
heat, Father John, as he was fondly
known to his people, made his daily
calls. His cares and burdens greatly
increased, and in 1854 his duties began
to wear him down. He was attacked
with serious cold which, developing
into stubborn cough and atliction of
the lungs, caused the greatest alarm for
the health of the beloved clergyman.
Medical skill seemed unable to stay
the progress Of the disease. Finally
an Eminent Specialist was consulted
The Doctor, who had been called be-
cause of his high standing and emf
nence in his profession, gave Father
John a prescription to cure the cold
and remove the lung trouble, as well
as to build up and strengthen the body.
The clergyman began to improve at
once, and the cough soon disappeared
He continued to take the medicine, and
it corrected his digestion, its food ele
ments nourished his whole SYSTEM
made new tissue and gave vital power
to the blood and nerves His people
rejoiced when he declared that he had
been made as well and strong as ever;
and his wonderful recovery was the one
thing talked Of for he was loved and
admired by all, regardless of race, creed
or class.
Father John recommended the medi-
cine to his parishionerS and friends, and
thousands were made we'll and strong
by taking it. In getting this prescrip-
tion they always called for Father
Johns Medicine and so it was named
by the people, and advertised, all with
the approval aud sanction of Reverend
Father O'Brien, because he knew of its
merit and desired that all who were
ailing might benefit by its power to
cure
This old-fashioned wholesome rene
dy is unequalled as a body builder and
tonic. 1t restores health and strength
to all run down systems. Its gentle
laxative effect strengthens the stomach
and corrects the digestion. 1t drives
out all impurities. 1t is a food medicine
and contains only pure nourishment.
1t is the best medicine ever prescribed
for consumption.
1t is not patent medicine, but the
prescription of the Eminent Specialist
who was consulted when the case of the
late Reverend Father O'Brien did not
yield to the customary treatment. 1t is
free from opium, morphine, cocaine or
poisonous drugs in any form which are
found in the majority of patent medi-
cines; it contains no alcohol or other
slimuants.
While it is not cough syrup" or
"balsam' nothing equals this pre-
scription for coughs, colds, and all
throat and lung troubles. 1t has
most soothing and healing effect, and
at the same time builds up the body
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1903-02-23

and makes strength.
This, power .to make strength at the
same time it cures the disease is seldom
found in any medicine prescribed for
colds, bronchitis, asthma and' similar
ailments. 1t prevents pneumonia and
consumption and all diseases that waste
away the body.
The faith Of the people in this val
liable prescription grew because of the
permanent character Of its cures, faith
that was increased from the fact that
many physicians prescribed it for their
patients. 1t is indorsed by Hospitals,
and by thousands who have used it, as
the following impressive Endorsements
will show:
"We are pleased to indorse Father
Johns Medicine, knowing of its Merit
and History" (Signed)
