sive, or even cruel, but Is the state to take charge of the family? It can inter- pose only in the rarest cases and cruelest conditions.
 Whatever may be said by mistaken phi lanthropists, the state is not going to interfere to prevent parents from requir- ing their children to work as a help to the family support It never did and never will, and it would upset society if it did. If children are not taught to work, and even forced to work, as they grow up-none of us when children liked it. they will be useless after they are grown up, and the greatest injury that can be done to child is to teach it that 1t Is pitiful and baleful necessity that would require it to work, and that the state should interpose it's authority to protect the child from any work it is reasonably able to do.
 Sentimentalism in such a matter is all ways misleading. The practical facts of life control all. Over matters of this kind the state can have only the most general regulations; 1t can interfere, if at all, only in extreme cases. Parents must be held to responsibility for children and they who suppose the state can be kinder to children than their parents make the most grievous of mistakes

SOME OF THE TROUBLES
 OF THE BOSS BARBER

or sorry to hear that he'd lost a GUS toner, and said so.
 q suppose we lost lot of trade be- cause men go too much on their first im- pressions of barbers," he went on. Now, I suppose that friend of yours will never come here again.
 But what can I do? Shall fire that barber who, he says, nearly scraped his face off? Of course not. If I did I'd lose your trade, wouldn't I? Well, that's the sort of trouble I'm up against all the time It's because no two races are alike.
 But 1t isn't the only trouble I have. The other day met a man who had been A regular customer here for several months. but who hadn't been in for two or three weeks
 "'How do you do? l said to him. Been out of the city,?
 '''No,' he said.
 Well, haven't seen you at my place lately
 NO he said; I've quit going there t !" Why's that?' I asked.
 1" Well, don't like the only barber in your shop I ever did like.
 Whats the trouble?' I asked
 He's too persistent he said.
 How? What do you mean?' l asked
 Too persistent about begging me to get sorfething else done to my face or head. So I quit
 Now, why didn't that customer come to me and tell me that the barber was an moving him? I'd have stopped it in a moment. No; he didn't do that-he just

From the Washington Post
 The boss barber, who worked at the first chair in the intervals when he was not punching the cash register, stepped over to an old customer who had just entered, and said, in low tone:
 Your regular barber is sick today. Try that man on the fourth chair He's 6 good shaver"
 He is not said the customer. I've tried him. Guess I'll let em grow until tomorrow"
 Wait minute, and I'll shave you, said the boss, and because of this the old customer waited.
 ITO tell the truth" began the boss, as he was tucking the towel into the mans collar ten minutes later, II can't tell which of my barbers are good shavers-
 '"rhe other day l was shaving man who told me that that man on the fourth chair was the best barber he'd ever struck. But l also have heard men say, like you, that he was bum workman.
 It's the same about all the men in this shop Some men will wait a long time for a chair that you couldn't hire other men to get into a second time"
 "I know that to be true,'' said the old customer, flor a couple of weeks ago told one of the men in our office to come here and try this barber of mine, and when he got back Ito the office, rubbing his face he swore that the fellow had about scraped his face off.
 The boss barber didn't know whether to be pleased at this proof of his accuracy

THE cHILD-LABoR PROBLEM.
A Question to Be Settled by Parents,
 Not the Government.

So long as parents continue to bring children into the world without fore thought for their welfare or provision for their nurture and education the diff faculties and sorrows of child life will continue. and any general attempt to put the state in the place of the parents will only multiply the evils and consequences of irresponsible parentage-the source of the whole distress. For the state can sup ply no remedy for the consequences of delinquent parenthood
 No city charter that ever may be made will cure an evil that lies far beyond its reach and scope. The state is not op- pressing the children; it is the parents who are doing it. or permitting it to be done. Moreover, most of the cries made in the name of the state against ''child labor" are purely hypocritioal, partisan, demagogical, or inspired by socialistic purposes. Most children have to work. It Is necessary. All children in the ear- Her time were required to work, and were better for it. Conditions of life have changed since, but work is still the com mon lot Parents sometimes are oppres-

DOCTOR CURES BY SUGGESTION Natural Force Exists. In All
 of Us" ASSERTS DOCTOR ASH Thought and Power of Suggestion Are Important. Physician Declares That Many Diseases Are of
 Mental Origin.
ASSERTS DOCTOR ASF

London. Oct 10.-Curing by insulting the curative idea" is the latest develop ment of psycho-t therapeutics, and Dr. Edwin Ash, of Harley street, London Is it's chief exponent Describing it's meth ods he writes of "the natural curative force that exists in all of us,p and con tinues:
 T place the patient in a reclining posi- ton in low arm chair and tell him to relax his muscles and to concentrate his mind on. the area of pain. At the same time an attempt Is made by earnest yer bal suggestions 10 get in action the natu- raj curative powers of the patients own praln This suggestion may be assisted by slight electrical stimulus al the seat of the pain. 1 always make passes while giving the suggestion of cure, if only to concentrate the patients mind more deeply on the experiment
 ''The possibility of cure by direct sug- gestion in such cases as mental break down, alcoholism, the drug habit, nervous debility. insomnia, neuralgia headache, and certain forms of paralysis is estab- lished beyond question.
 "A man on the verge of madness came to me once. His delusion was that every time he went into room voices mocked him from behind the door, When he went there nobody was to be seen. impressed upon him that when he left me he would no longer be troubled; the voices would become fainter and then disappear. He sent me a very long and grateful letter, telling me that he was cured, and I saw him no more,
 "A girl who had injured her hip joint went to hospitals and doctors for two years without relief. She was then cured at two or three sittings by the simple pro- cess of direct suggestion-just a few passes over the joint and the reiterated assurance that she would be cured.
 "A man who had the cigarette habit to such an extent that 1t had become vice wrote to me asking if I could cure him. was anxious to try, but he did not keep his appointment.
 Suggestion should be used in combina ton with more orthodox remedies, and it would be found to be a powerful aid to them Set up the cure idea In the pa tients mind and the battle is half won Permit the invalid idea to remain there and the work of the doctor becomes enor- i mously more difficult.
 'Indireot suggestion plays an important part in all cures. and 1t has an even wider field than direct suggestion. It re- ouires the most careful observation or in- dividual patients if it is to be successful. It is brought to bear by cheerful de- meanor on the part of the doctor and the relatives. by wise arrangement of sur roundings and by establishing constant atmosphere of the cure idea. Its chief use is in organic disease, especially Tn certain forms of dyspepsia and heart trouble which have a mental origin. It is of great use in consumption cases.

Minor Poesy.
Erop p11pk

From Puck "
 A thought once stole, by mistake into the mind of minor poet. It was very little thought and 1t was frightened at the vast empty spaces, and covered tim idly into dark corner, where 1t hoped to escape observation.
 But in moment the poet had discov- cred it and straightway he bounced upon it avidly, and mauled, damned, cut, squeezed and otherwise tortured it.
 The thought suffered greatly. but the poet did not desist until he had achieved his purpose, which was to grind out an other sonnet and keep himself before the public.

 "But, as I said, when it comes to opin- ions about the ability of certain barbers. that's a hard problem for us bosses, for opinions about them are so different. I've got to go by the majority.

Boxing Game in West Ham
mond Receives a Body
Blow.

Since the West Hammond boxing
bouts which were put on last Sunday
proved to be something of failure and
were not attended by the crowds which
were expected. it is doubtful If the box
ing game in West Hammond will be re-
vived
1t received bad setback when a dis
gruntled hall owner over across the line
squealed to the county sheriff just be-
cause he was afraid he was not GETTING
his share of the rake-off nthe way OF
hall rent.
After the Chicago fans had beer
brought all of the way to Hammond
only to be disappointed they were no
very keen for another fiasco of the
kind.
The local support which is given tn,
boxing contests does not amount Il
much and as a result the chances ar,
that there will not be many more box
ing contests in West Hammond
The various arrangements hardl,

FURNACE No. TWO
IS BLOWN IN
Rapid Progress Is Made in
Work at the Steel
Mills.

The second furnace, No. IL, of the
Indiana Steel mills at Gary was blown
In shortly after o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t, as the first, was very sue
cessfuI. there being no accident to mar
the lighting of the new furnace.
The blowing in of No. IL furnace will
mark the lighting of other furnaces
and the employment of men at inter
walls as the steel company officials see
best fit 1t was said by the officials
of the plant today that the power plant
supplying gas to the entire plant, will
be started within few days. AS soon
as the second furnace is in operation
thtre will be a supply of gas sufficient
it is thought. to operate several of the
gas engines AS other furnaces are
lighted the supply of gas will be in
creased thus furnishing increased
| power for the plant In time this will
be sufficient for the company to dc
away with steam power and these en-
gines will be turned off and only ustd
| in a case of emergency.
The first furnace of the mill has beer
| in operation over a week and there
have been no accidents to prevent tn,
operation of the second furnace today
This will be done without any cere
mony, only the officials of the mills be
| ing present at the time. The dali!
capacity of the first furnace is abou
| 800 tons of pig iron per day This will
| be increased. however. until the norma
capacity is about 500 tons per day. Th'
| second furnace will have the sam,
capacity. but it is thought that it viii
| be a month before the two furnaces
| will be turning out their full capacit,
| of 1900 tons per day. At the presen
! time No. II is turning out three ladle
i of pig iron every six hours.
1t is said that furnace No. IL wa
really lighted by accident yesterday
but no credit can be given the abov
report. IT is said that employees wer
busy charging the furnace preparator,
to lighting 1T when a workman wa
