Con-.

Iowa, male suffrage state, has just passed law to limit the working day of children under 16 to eight hours. Iowa stands among the leaders in Child Labor Legislation.
 Pennsylvania has passed a Child Labor bill limiting the hours a child under 16 eau work to 5l per week. Children under II cannot be employed except in selling papers for which the minimum age is l2. Pennsylvania is also a male suffrage state.
 In North Dakota Mothers Pension bill has been passed and the age of con- sent raised from 16 to Is. Women do not vote in North Dokota.
 Utah, the original woman suffrage state, has again defeated Child Labor bill closely following that recommended by the National Child Labor Commit tee. The recent Utah legislation is conspicuous for what it failed to ac- complish, in Child Labor. Prohibition, Mothers Pensions, and yet the suffra- gists continue to tell us that woman suffrage is necessary to bring about just such legislation!
 Mothers pensions were Originated by mere man, in d male suffrage state. Less than four years ago Judge E. E.. Porterfeld, of Kansas City. Mo, got a mothers pension for Jackson County, Mo. In Illinois in 1911. Henry Neil got the Illinois legislature to enact a similar law. At that time Illinois did not have partial suffrage. In Cali fornia, too the mothers pension law came in under male suffrage. Ohio, where the majority against suffrage in- creased from 86, 900 in 1919, to 182, GOO in 1914, has a mothers pension law Ill 1913, Minnesota, Iowa, Massachu- setts, New Hampshire. Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and part of Mis- souri-all male suffrage states-passed mothers pension laws, as well as Wash ington, Oregon and Idaho. where women vote. More than twenty states now have this law. Press Chairman. Hartford, Conn.

Better Paint

Better paint this year if your property needs it. Mistaken men have been waiting for paint to come down. The cost of their job has gone up not down; it always goes up by waiting; never comes down.
 Better paint than Devoe? There isn't any.
 Suppose one had waited 20 or 30 years ago for better paint than Devoe; how long would he have waited? How long would he still have to wait?
 The price gallon makes some differ euce; yes, but not much; it's the paint that counts; the quality counts.
 It's the go.far that counts. Protec- ton of property counts more yet.
 Better paint. DEVOE

 For Decoration Days weather being as follows:
 Monday belng the 31th, (the Decora- tion Day) is to be observed as the 30th decating on Sunday and which date is to be postponed for Monday, the 31th. The weather on Decoration Day is to be ill favorable condition or to say that is to be fair. It surely will give a pleasure to the people. There is no indication for a storm whatever on DecoEation Day and so you may be sure that to leave your umbrella at home for the weather is to be fair.
 From the 9th to the 9th of June, you may prepare for a general distu1b bance in the atmosphere. Said disturbance so to be followed by warm and heat. Gee, summer is here. Parasols are in great need for the fair sex.
 Between the 7th and to the 1th, you may really expected sunshine but will be intervened around the 11th. A dis turbance in expecting for a couple of days, from the 18th to the 18th. Clear ing and cool will follow.

Twenty Years from Today Baldheaded
 Man Will Re An Unusual Sight.

Man Will Re An Unusual Sight.
 One of the most prominent druggists of America made a statement a few weeks ago which has caused great deal of discussion among scientists in the medical press.
 He said: "If the new hair grower, Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases its sales as it has during the past year, it will be used by nearly every man. woman and child in America within eight years.
 "When Mildredina Hair Remedy is used almost universally, dandruff will disappear and with its departure bald ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all scalp diseases will follow and twenty years from now bald head will be a rarity"
 There is only one way to cure dand- ruff, and that is to kill the germs. There is only. one hair preparation that will kill the germs and that is Mildred. ina Hair Remedy. This unusual hair restorer with its record of thousands of cures will grow hair on any head where there is any life left; it will cure dand- ruff, stop falling hair and itching of the scalp ill three weeks or money back.
 It is tue most pleasant and invigorat ing tonic, is not sticky, or greasy and is used extensively by ladies of refine ment who desire to have and to keep their hairsoft, lustrous and luxuriant. Fifty cents for large bottle, druggists everywhere. Mail orders filled by American Proprietary Co.,, Boston, Mass.
