THEY FOUND OUT WHY THE KIDS
HAVE to WORK
Many children below the age of 10
have been picked up on the streets
selling newspapers and other articles
and the cause of their necessity of
doing SO has been Investigated by
the Bureau of Public Welfare.
Here are findings in cases they
have investigated.
A big Saginaw street lumber mill
has employed one Joseph -- as
checker for % years. The highest
wages he has ever received is $12.65,
which he is now getting.
Joseph is foreigner. He has nine
children. Three daughters and one
son under 10 years sell papers in the
loop to aid in their struggle for exist
ence.
The same firm has employed an
other foreigner, Thomas --, for
nine years. At present he works as
a loader, getting So a week. He has
seven children. The youngest, four
months, is i'll. A little daughter and
son hustle papers to help the family
along.
These conditions exist in practic-
ally every lumber mill in Chicago"
the investigator said. It's a case
where the employer forces the chill
dren to make up for what they ought
to pay the father for his labor"

With the power of sight fast fad
ing from her eyes, Anna ROcOr plead
ed in morals court this morning for a
chance to get away from the evil in
f1uence of her husband, who, she
said, has kept her in life of shame.
Anna, who has been growing blind
for years, was the principal witness
against his husband, Morris ROcOr,
ALA S.. Fifth av., who was in court
on a charge of pandering. He was up
on the same charge in 1912, but the
case was nOnsuited on a legal tech
nicality.
The wife told of years she had
spent plying her nefarous trade
under the direction of her husband.
She mentioned that in Superior, Wis.,
she had given him $18, her earnings
for two days. Last January she was
established in a fiat on 31st ST., Chi

She said if she could only get out
of RocOr's power she felt she could
regain her sight.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR BACKACI1E, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou- bles bring misery to many. When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, l.eaviness, drowsiness. irrita- bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu- matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and loins, distressing bladder disorders and sometimes obsti- nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma- tism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to send Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N Y, 10c for large trial pack age of "Anuric."
 During digestion uric acid is ab- sorbed into the system from meat

CRIME EXPOSED BY WIDOW
Claims Tragedy Enacted In May, 1914, and Kept Secret Due to Fear -Son-in-Law Named, Who Is
 Said to Have Confessed.

Batavia, N. Y.-Luigi Matroni was buried alive in the cellar of his home near Corfu in May, 1914. His body was trampled into newly made grave while he still begged for mercy, according to story told by his widow to District Attorney Coon. Antonio Boliya, the alleged murderer, pointed out the spot where the crime occurred and a body was found which Mrs. Ma troni identified as that of her hus- band. Boliva has confessed, the dis triet attorney said.
 Boliva, who is Mrs. Matronis son. -inlaw, is serving a six months term in the Monroe county penitentiary for stabbing affray. Mrs. Matroni came here from Syracuse to tell the story of the murder, which, she declared, was witnessed by her and her young son, Charles. Her long silence, she said, was due to fear of Boliva. When she learned he was in prison she felt safe to tell.
 Mrs. Matroni said that her husband W NdS lcIlSu Uy d DIOW lfOf0 plckdX handle wielded by Boliva He was knocked unconscious, but revived be- fore the grave had been dug in the eel lar. He pleaded with Boliva for mercy just before he was thrown into the pit and trampled under the ground, she declared
 After hearing the woman's story District Attorney Coon and Sheriff Ed gerton took Boliva to the farm where the Matronis formerly lived Boliva at first denied knowledge of the mur- der, but later District Attorney Coon said he confessed and told the men where to dig. They found the body under nine feet of earth The house had been torn down and the cellar filled in after the Matronis moved away.
 Boliva killed Matroni, he told the district attorney, because after his marriage to Matroni's step-daughter she told him Matroni had attacked her the day before their wedding.

Many women have looked askance at the very short skirts to which oth- CTS have given a cordial welcome. Many women wear them, and some do not, but none has failed to notice the trim boots that have grown higher as skirts grew shorter Little feet that peep in and out are a thing of the past, for little feet now are in full view at all angles and are required to be more than slightly.
 No feet are so well shod as those of Americans, and designers of shoes have met the demand for footwear that must bear the most critical scru- tiny, with the trimmest and neatest of shoes Many oddities in cut have been introduced, many elaborations and decorations. Contrasting colors in feathers, and combinations of leath- CT and cloth, have added variety to variety.
 For evening wear satir pumps to match the gown, or high satin laced shoes, are worn. Gold or silver cloth pumps are also liked for evening W~fdTt dIiu lOOh WclA Wilu any COlOI.
 For street wear high boots. either laced or buttoned, are to be had, show ing combinations of cloth and leather, two colors in leather or in all gray or all tan kid. They are plain and give the foot a slender appearance. The all-black shoe is worn with col ored spats, and bronze shoes remain ir demand for wear with afternoon gowns and especially with the popu- lar dark browns in satin and velvet.
 A laced street boot is shown in the picture with patent leather vamp and gray leather top.

expenditure Of time and energy will
suffice to rid the city of flies. A few
things must constantly be watched and
the following rules should be strictly
observed:
>Ffrst.-A1l stable waste should be re-
moved at least twice week. No ma
nure or damp, decaying straw should
be left. The stable should be absolutely
clean. If it is impracticable to remove
the waste it should be freely sprinkled
with lime and kept in large closed
box or buried. It is far better, how
ever, to remove the waste altogether.
Kerosene should be poured in all drains
that cannot be cleaned.
Second.-An garbage should be kept
In closed cans which should be re-
moved from the premises three times a
week. This accomplishes double pur-
pose. Not only will tightly closed
garbage can remove favorite haunt
Of flies but it will lessen their food
supply. A fly can be killed by starva-
ton as surely as by fly paper. The
garbage can used should be of metal,
water tight and with closely fitting
top. The top should always be kept on
the can. A leaking can is an unmiti-
gated nuisance.
Third.-The yard should be swept
regularly, and no waste should be al
lowed to accumulate. Flies will breed
in the potato Feelings, the waste paper
and the usual litter Of yard. These
must be removed before the eggs laid
in them by the flies can hatch. In ad-
dition the ash barrel should carefully
be watched.
