TO TAKE UP CHILD
LABOR LEGISLATION
Measure Is Restored to Its
Regular Place on the Legis-
lative Program by Senate.
POWER OF CONGRESS-

Washington, Aug. 3.--The senate
late today began consideration Of the
bill to prevent interstate commerce
in the products of child labor. The
measure was restored to place on
the legislative program for this ses-
sion at the request of President VIII
son, after the democratic CAUCUS once
had decided to let it 60 over until
December. Southern democrats are
the only opponents Of the measure,
which will be kept before the senate
until it is passed.
Senator Robinson, in presenting the
bill on behalf of the commerce COM
mittee, told his southern colleagues
there was a strong sentiment in favor
of it in their states. He read extracts
from newspapers in North and South
Carolina, Alabama, Georgit, Missis-
sippi and Texas favoring child labor
legislation.
Power In Congress.
Answering contentious that the pro-
posed act would effect an unconstitu-
tional transgression Of the rights OF
the states, the Arkansas senator as
serted that under decisions Of the su-
preme court the power OF congress to
regulate commerce is complete and
absolute except as limited by the con-
stitution itself; that the only limita-
ton is the Fifth amendment, which
provides that no person shall be de-
prived of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law; that the
Fourteenth amendment OF the consti-
tuition imposes the same limitation on
the states as hiatt imposed by the
Fifth amendment on the federal gov
eminent and that il "the states in the
exercise of the police power can sup
press evils of child labor, congress,
through its power - .sgrlate com
merce, can promote tn, sne end BY
denying the channels q; commerce TO
persons and enterprises Ia the inter
est OF the public health. morals and
safety"
Cites Other Cases.
Senator Robinson asserted that con-
gress could do indirectly great many
things that 1t could not directly per-
form.
The lottery cases and the white
slave cases decided by the supreme
court" he said, affirm the power OF
congress to enact legislation in the
nature of police regulations through
its power to regulate commerce; that
congress has as much power to sup
press recognized evils in the condi-
tons surrounding the production or
manufacture of commodities through
regulation Of commerce as it has to
accomplish the same end after trans
portation has ended"

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins il.
The best thing for steady use Is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. II makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
II leaves the scalp soft and the hair
fine and silky, bright. lustrous, fluff
fy and easy to manage.
You can get Inulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and few ounces will supply every
member of the family for months

Group Of Irish Pray.
An affecting incident took place
outside the prison wall as the execu-
ton was in progress. At the back of
the prison little distance from the
jeering crowd about the gates was a
group Of about thirty Irish men and
women. When the dull clang OF the
prison bell announced that the DOOM
ed man had paid the last penalty,
this little group fell on their knees
and with bowed heads remained for
some moments silently praying for
the repose of the soul OF their dead
fellow countryman.
Easement Shows No Concern.
Easement showed not the slightest
concern over his fate. He ate well
and chatted freely and checrily with
the warders of his condemned cell.
| After a hearty late supper he Invested
himself for the last time Of his con-
vict clothes and went to bed. He was
notified that he would be allowed to
wear his own civilian clothes for the
execution, though he would not be
permitted to wear collar.
All the members OF Easements fam
| lily were Protestants, and he was
brought up in that faith, but became
convert to Roman Catholicism with
! in the last few weeks. On June %
he was registered as member Of
the Roman Catholic church and since
that time Fathers McCarrell and
Carey of Eden Grove church, near
the prison, have been ministering to
him. He received his first and only
communion at 7 o'clock this morning
when he assisted at mass in his cell.
One Of his attendants said that his
land was most striking. According
to this attendant, the last words OF
the condemned man, apart from his
prayers, were: Il die for my. coun-
try" Father McCarrell said that he
found Easement to be beautiful
character and that he never instructed
any one in his religion who showed
himself quicker and more promis-
ing learner. N
One More Martyr, Says News.
The morning papers mostly deal
in the briefest and most matter OF
fact way with the execution OF Case
ment. The only editorial reference is
| In the Daily News, which says: We
| cannot but reaffirm our contention
that the government exhibited grave
unwisdom in exacting the death pen
atty. No evil results could have toll
lowed communication OF the sentence.
The hanging gives the disaffected sec
ton Of Ireland another martyr, embit-
tiers feeling throughout the island,
alienates a large and important body
Of American opinion and enables Ger.
many to play off the death OF Case
ment against the death OF Fryatt."

Poultry For Profit

Poultry is more profitable than any
other stock that can be kept on the
farm-if the right kind Of poultry is
kept. Even common mongrel stock
of hens will return profit, if given
good care, even at the present price Of
grain, but mongrel stock is not the kind
to keep because it costs just as much
to keep a hen that will lay from FIVE
to eight dozen eggs in a year as it does
to keep one that lays from ten to
twelve dozen in the same time. Any
one who can sell three meRgFel hens
for enough to buy one purebred u max
ing good trade, as puEebfed hen
at the present cost of feeding will make
a profit for her owner unden average
while the mongFelhen will
not pay her board unless she is given
very good care.
Putting to good use the unconsidered
feeds Is where the farm hen makes her
best showing. She consumes green stuff
that grows in places where no other
stock can get it. Grain that would 9th
erwise be wasted she hunts up and
turns into eggs or weight Around the
barnyard of a farm AZ large as eighty
acres a flock of one hundred hens will
find half the feed it consumes. Thi,
reduces the cost of keeping the flock
by fifty per cent. and makes il profit
able to keep poultry.
