JUDGE LINDSEY OF DENVER, COLO.
CALLS BOY SCOUTS HIS IDEAL.

CALLS BOY SCOUIS HIS IDEAL.
Ben. B. Lindsey, Judge of the Juve-
nile Court of Denver, Colorado, who has
become famous the country over because
of his enthusiastic work in behalf of
boys, sees great possibilities for good in
the Boy Scout movement. He is closely
in touch with the Boy Scout activities in
Denver and is advising the Scout Mas
tiers there as to the methods of handling
the boys. He has observed the appeal
that the activities have for the boys and
has perceived how, through the spirit of
fun and play, the characters of the boys
can be nodded. He likes the Boy Scout
organization because it does not preach
to the boy. 1t unobtrusively appeals to
the boys sense of honnor.
For these reasons, Lindsey, who is
member of the National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America, is convinced
that still greater things can be accom-
plished through the organization. q
am enthusiastic he writes, "about the
Boy Scout movement, 1t is doing ire
mendous good all over the country and
is just the thing that we have needed
and bids fair to fulfil a dream | have had
for a long time, namely: practical
scheme through which we can impart
ethics and rules of moral conduct that
differ from our methods of preaching
that have never taken and never will take
with boys. | only wish | had the time
to write an article upon what l mean,
and how the Boy Scouts are taking care
of the idea, that | hope can do even
more than they are doing in that direc-
tion.'

continue to be the line of distinction for legitimate business. It must be enforced unless we are to banish individualism from business and reduce it to one com mon system of regulation or control of prices like that which now prevails with respect to public utilities, and which when applied to all business would be g. long step toward state socialism.
 Importance of the Antitrust Act
 The antitrust act is the expression of the effort of freedom loving people to preserve equality of opportunity. It is the result of the confident determination of such people to maintain their future growth by preserving uncontrolled and unrestricted the enterprise of the indi- vidual, his industry, his ingenuity, his in- teIligence and his independent courage.
 For 20 years or more this statute has been upon the statute book. All knew it's general purpose and approved. Many Of it's violators were cynical over its. as- sumed impotence. It seemed impossible of enforcement. Slowly the mills of the courts ground. and only gradually did the majesty of the law assert itself. Many of it's statesmen-authors died before 1t became living fofce, and they and others saw the evil grow which they had hoped to destroy Now it's efficacy is seen; now it's power is heavy; now it's object is near achievement. Now we hear the call for it's repeal on the plea that it interferes with business prosperity. and we are ad- vised in most general terms, how by some other statute and in some other way the evil we are just stamping out can be cured, if we only abandon this work of 20 years and try another experiment for an- other term of years.
 It Is said that the act has not done good. Can this be said in the face of the effect of the Northern Securities decree: That decree was In no way so drastic or inhibitive in detail as either the Standard oil decree or the Tobacco decree; but did 1t not stop for all time the then powerful movement toward the control of all the railroads of the country in a single hand Such one-man power could not have been a healthful influence in the republic, even though exercised under the general supervision of an interstate commission.
 Do we desire to make such ruthless com binations and monopolies lawful? When all energies are directed. not toward the reduction of the cost of production for the public benefit by a healthful competition, but toward new ways and means for mak- ing permanent in a few hands the abso- lute control of the conditions and prices prevailing in the whole field of industry. then individual enterprise and effort will be paralyzed and the spirit of commer- cal freedom will be dead.

The Stomach welcomes Quick Relief
 "A Stuarts Tablet not only aids digestion put It actually does the digesting itself. In other words, 1t furnishes exactly the same clements for the direction of food as the natural juices of the stomach. The stomach. therefore, Is not called upon to do any of the work except to churn the Juices furnished by the tablet and then push the digested food along into the in- testines where it will be still further di- gested and the strength taken up by the blood to be carried to the muscles and nerves of the body.
 So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let after meal you give the stomach the rest 1t needs in which to mend itself and grow well again. And you absolutely prevent the souring of any food, the for mation of any poisonous gases, belching, foul breath or constipation.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done more for humanity and have caused more rejoicing than any other one agency that can be named.
 Every druggist everywhere sells and personally recommends Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets. The price is 50 cents per box. If you first wish to try them a [ sample package will be sent you free if Oyou write to F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15O Stuart Bldgp Marshall, Mich.

FINISH FOR CENTERPIECE.

One of the new between-meal CEN
ter-pieces in colored embroidery on
ecru linen had a finish that was an
agreeable change from the usual seal
lop and wide lace. The edge was
straight around the circle in a quarter
OF an inch band. worked solidly in
satin stitch, and beyond 1t was an
inch-wide gimp. such as is used by
upholstered to edge curtains. They
repeated the tones used in the EN-
broidery.
Another finish Off one OF these cen
terpieces is half-inch edging OF heavy
linen thread. such as is used for GER
tain edges.
A third finish, though scarcely so
good looking when fitted on the table
is a border OF white linen fringe. the
kind much in style for lamp shades,
The above can be used under a gimp
on button-holed scallop.
