Milwaukee journal.
OF 800 murderers sent to Waupun in
recent years, 9 out Of every 10 were
set to work before Is years of age.
One-third Of them have never been sent
to school; fewer than in 30 finished
high school. This is a heavy indictment
of someone beside the convict. We
must be careful Of figures that are not
conclusive, but 30 per cent is a terribly
convincing proportion 1t shows that
society has not done a small part Of its
duty to these men. Because of this
269 lives have been taken in violence
and 259 other human beings have been
deprived of liberty and the pursuit of
happiness
If there is any question of our obliga-
ton to our fellow men. any question
that it is our business 20 look into the
lives and the conditions 2f living of
children and to make those conditions
better, it is surely answered by these
figures Can any man or woman, who
has had the advantage of high school

$4,000 VOICES!
And Many are Ire Voices of Mineral
Point People.

Thirty thousand voices What a
grand chorus And that's the number
of American men and women who are
publicly praising Doan's Kidney Pills
for relief from blackjack, kidney and
bladder ills. They say it to friends.
They tell it in the home papers. Min
eral Point people are in this chorus
Here's Mineral Point case.
William Hammill, High ST., Mineral
Point, Wis, says; 81 had weak kid
neys. The kidney secretions passed too
frequently and bothered me especially
at night. The secretions were highly
colored and scanty used Doan's Kid
ney Pills as directed and my health
improved. The trouble with my kid
neys was corrected too. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are certainly all right.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't ask for kidney
remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the same that Mr.. Hammill
had-the remedy backed by home testi-
mony. so cents, all stors. Foster-Mil-

Old and New Violin.

An interesting test of the relative
merits OF old violins and new was
made the other day by the American
guild OF yiolinists in session at Chicago.
It may be recalled that some years
ago some experiments of the same
sort were made in Paris, With the I'M
expected result that listeners not
knowing what sort they were hearing
awarded the palm to the new instru-
msnts. This is absurd, Of course, for
II a Sradivarius costs $4,000 or S10,-
GOO, how can Il fail to be better than
q new victim worth only few hundred
dollars or perhaps less? Yet there is
q hereti0al sect which holds that thu
superiority Of the old Cremona max.
ers is myth. and the Chicago ex-
pertinent was meant to settle that
point It proved, however inconclu-
siYe, for while the old yiolins as
rule carried off tho honors the first
prize fell TO violin only three years
cid, Nineteen instruments were en-
tered, Including Nicholas Amau OF
tS4S and a Jacobus S;ainer Of 1850.
