OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

Sioux City, Ia, July 26.-Possi-
bility of a binding twine shortage
during the coming harvest was voio-
ed today by C. P. Kilborne, general
agent in Sioux City for the Interna-
tional Harvester Company. The
amount of Irvine required to care
for the small grain in the south CEN
trail states was greater than that es-
timated by the manufacturers. In
spite of the wet weather conditions
which prevailed over the middle
western states, farmers will be able
to harvest their small grain with
out much loss, Mr.. Kilborne stated.

REV. T.P. HOLLOWAY FOR
PRESENT juvenile court

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-I have been asked by friends
of Juvenile Court idea and law to
write public letter in favor of main
tanning the court for morally delin-
quent children entirely separate from
the Municipal Court. AS a member of
the Committee on Legislation Re
garding Welfare Laws and an en-
thusiastic believer in the Juvenile
Court I am only too glad to snatch
a little time to comply with this re-
quest.
/ advance the following reasons for
continuing our Juvenile Court as an
Independent court altogether sepa-
rate from the Municipal Court.
!. Specialists on Juvenile Court
work everywhere contend that when
the Juvenile Court is connected with
the criminal court the youthful Of
fender. however trihing the oflense
when brought up before il is branded
a criminal in the eyes of the child
himself as we'll as the public. And
right at this point the underlying
purpose of the Juvenile Court is viii
ated. To the child. under such condi-
tions. the Judge, however kindly and
gracious he may be personally. stands
solely as a power TO punish and not
reform.
3 The people who have made pos
sible the Juvenile Court movement in
this State demand that il be kept
separate from the Municipal Court.
These are the persons, above all 9TH
ers, to whom our law makers should
pay heed.
3. This position is not held be-
cause of any antagOnism to Judge
Churchman, but solely on the funda-
mental reasons above stated II af-
fords me pleasure to express sincere
admiration for the able manner in
which this gentleman has done his
part to conserve the moral interests
Of our city.
4. Keeping the Juvenile Court sep
arate from the Municipal Court saves
il from deleterious political manipu-
lation.
5. The splendid results attained
already in this city by the Juvenile
Court as a separate institution prove
the folly of uniting it with the Mu-
nicipal Court.
Our worthy solOns at Dover may
find il not amiss to carefully deliber.
ate before they harmfully amend any
of our preesnt welfare laws. The
ghost of a reactiOnary political rec
ord has been known to embarrass the
future of ambitious Office seekers.
