Child Labor Laws Wanted.

Mrs Florence Kelley, secretary of
the National consumers league. ad
dressed a small audience in the Con
gregational chapel Monday evening
under the auspices of the Woman s
club. She presented interesting facts
regarding the employment of child
labor and the sweating system of tene-
ment house work, the two great evils
which the league is attempting with
moderate success to diminish. She
made plea for the adoption of add
tional legislation in Vermont. admit
ting that abuses of HID labor were
not general in this state. but urging
the Importance of good example upon
such states as Georgia and Mississippi
where the legal conditions in Vermont
were used as an argument against
adopting new laws, although in these
states child labor is common by night
and by day. Mrs. Kelley hopes to in
terest Vermont people especially the
women's clubs in thework of the Con
sumers' league sufficiently to warrant
the formation of branches in the larger
towns and cities. The methods of the
league consist of agitating and enforc-
ing legislation, and in inducing manu-
facturers to make and dealers to sell
only goods that are produced under
healthful and legal conditions. The
label of the league attached to garments
is guarantee that the manufacture is
properly conducted After Mrs. KEEL
iey's remarks Rev. Mr. Mathison of
the Episcopal church gave some facts
from his own personal knowledge and
stated that an effort would be made to
rave additional child labor Legislation
by the next legislature.

SENSIBLE WAY TO CURE CATARRH
Hyomei Medicates Air You Breathe
and Kills all Catarrhal Germs-Costs
Nothing Unless il Cures.

Do not take medicines into the stom-
ach to kill catarrhal germs in the head
and throat. Air alone can reach these
germs. Medicated with Hyomei and
breathed through the neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit, the air goes
to the most remote air cells of the
head, throat and lungs, and complete
ly destroys the disease germs. Hyo-
mel is the only sensible, yet scientific
way to cure catarrh. Other remedies
may fail; Hyomei will cure
1t helps at once, and you get the
vitalizing and invigorating effect from
the first few breaths of Hyomei. If it
should happen that Hyomei did not
give you the same good effects that
it has in many other cases right here
at home. George L. Greene will refund
your money without question or argu-
ment. You will be the sole Judge as
to whether Hyomei costs you a penny
or not.
The complete outfit consisting of
medicine dropper, and inhaler that can
be carried in the purse or vest pocket
and bottle of Hyomei sells for only
one dollar. The inhaler will last life
time, and extra bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained, if needed, for fifty cents.
When you get Hyomei out
fit, George L. Greene will give
you signed receipt, agreeing
to refund the money in case it does
not cure catarrh and other diseases of
the respiratory organs. This is the
strongest evidence that he can offer as
to his faith in Hyomei-to pay for it
himself in case it does not cure.

COLLEGE WOMEN IN PANIC.

Way During Play.

Beloit, Wis, Feb. 23.-One entire
section of an amphitheater erected in
the gymnasium of Emerson hall, the
girls dormitory of Beloit college. col
lapsed just as the curtain was about TO
be raised for performance by the
Shakespeare club. Every chair was
filled when the crash came and the
sixty women seated in tn center Sec
ton were dumped in a confused mass
onto the floor below.
The fall was about six feet and this
prevented any serious injuries. but all
were more or less bruised and several
painfully cut by the splintered timbeTs.
The productions of the Shakespeare
club are among the brilliant events al
the college and special interest was
lent this one because of the selection
of one of the classics of William B.
Yeats, the famous Irish poet and dra-
matist, who lectured here only a few
nights ago. His Land Of the Hearts
Desire was the program, and the hall
was crowded with women. as no men
are allowed at these performances.

enblatt, the organ of the German gen
eral staff, has published an article dis
cussing Russia's prospects Of reinforc
ing her army in east Asia. The paper
takes a pessimisJic view of the capac-
ity of the trans-Siberian railroad and
especially of the section crossing
Lake Baikal, where it says the Difficult
ties to be overcome are enormous.
According to the papers estimates it
will take until April 20 for Russia to
raise the strength of her east Asiatic
army to $4,000 men.

a correspondent of the Associated
