School Boy Faints
From Lack Of Food.

The day time. as was said before. Is
the time when our girls and boys should
have their amusements, still here too,
judgment should be exercised. p re-
member a certain school picnic which
/ chaperODed last year, when one OF
the boys became very IN. Upon investi-
cation it developed that he had eaten
no breakfast that day, had beaten heavy
rugs the entire morning, and then with
cut a mouthful OF breakfast or lunch
in his stomach, that boy had been al
lowed TO 90 on a picnic. 10 eat the food
usually provided on such occasions.
When I look into some of these cases
the only wonder 20 me is that the chill
dren ever live TO tell the tale
II naTeuts would consider their chill
dTen's amusements, regulating them
carefully until the child is old enough
20 regulate them wisely for himself, we
would have more graduates from our
schools and more pupils graduating at
sixteen and seventeen instead of at
nineteen and twenty, as IS now the case

Every demand for union label
goods is an added asset to the or.

The number of strikes and lock

mand for this emblem of fairness

testified to by those having to do
with the Settlement of disagree
mcntS between employers en-
ployces.
Were all trade unionists to
bear in mind when making pur-
chases that every time non. union
goods are bought, encC uragement
is given to some labcr-depriving,
proflt-making INSCRIPTIONS in

Its employees, and that many
good unionists are compelled to
exc cut mere existence because
of such thoughtlessness of careless
ness on the part of their fellows
perhaps there would be less sim

DUTY VERSUS RIGHTS.

Since the birth of the American

supreme the doctrine of ..the right
of liberty and the pursuit Of hap.
plness', says the Rev. Chas.
Stelzle. In our system of ju1is-
prudence, and in our treatises
upon statecraft and sociology, the
emphasis has been upon the
rights of the child. the rights of
women, the rights of capital, the
rights of labor, civil rights and
political rights, until the doctrine
OF human rights has become a
thing working endless confusion
and hatred.
In sharp contrast with this
method Of securing better CON
ultlonS for mankind and a more
harmonious spirit among men, is
the doctrine taught by God. In
the sacred word there is practical
~ no reference to the rights of

duty of man.
Nhe" the strong Cypress the

that there has been a transgression
of rights. The New Testament

brotherhood has been violated
If the rich operator Expresses

nlpulates the market and closes

thought that in the treatment of
his men he is to follow the law of
love and Of brotherhood.
Human rights will never suffer
If human duties be performed.
The time has come when duty
must be emphasized. The duty
of the employer to the employee,
of the employee to the employer.
Duty, then, and not rights; is
the supreme need of the hour.
For the doing of ones duty will
carry one farther along than the
