WAITING AT THE CHURCH.

Here is an instance Of mail-order

in jefferson county.
Two jefferson county men, we'll
call them Mr.. A and Mr.. B, needed
the same article. Mr.. A sent away for
it while Mr.. B went to local store
and bought it.
1t was necessary to have the article
quickly to make good use OF 1t this
summer. And while Mr.. A was I'M
patiently waiting to hear from the
mail-order people, Mr.. B was making
good use of the article.
This lasted week and half. by
the time A got the article, B had got
ten four or five times the value OF
the article in service. He had been
"making it work" while A had been
watchfully waiting.
The best part Of the story is that "a

Yes; people learn every day.

PROBLEM OF CHILD
LABOR IN ENGLAND

correspondence of the Associated Press
London, July 16.-Child labor is one
oc the subjects touched upon in the
annual report of the General Fedora
ton of Trade Unions dealing with
problems to be solved after the war.
The report says:
1.-THE management commi tee has
never ceased to emphasize the gravity
Of the industrial problems with which
the country will be faced at the end
of the war, and the presence of chill
dren in agriculture and industry ere
ates one of the first difficulties which
will require attention. 1t will be
monstrous if the trade unionist SOL
der returns to find his children
placed as barrier between him and
opportunities of employment. To
prevent such catastrophe it may be
necessary to provide measures for re-
turning employed children to school,
for raising the leaving age, and for
making this age uniform throughout
the country. Such policy will meet
violent opposition from employers
who seek juvenile labor because it is
cheap to them, although it may be
dear to the child and to the state.
Trade unionists are in this matter
custodians of vital interests, and they
should Immediately seek an educa
lional program which will relieve IN
dustrial congestion, provide the chill
dren with liberal education and give
the state a largely decreased aggre-
gate of general knowledge and intel
ligence.
ut is frequently said that matters
concerning the education of children
are outside the consideration of the
trade unionist; that his concern lies
only with wages and working condi-
tons. Fortunately the trade unionist
is wise enough to know that the child
competing against him injuriously at
fects both these, while the child i'll
trained and growing into the thought
less and inefficient adult is potent
factor in the hands of those who
would keep down wages and debase
working conditions"

You Can't Fool your Liver
You May Deceive Yourself.

There are many so-called liver
medicines on the market that have no
action whatever on the liver. These
medicines act quickly on the lower
bowels and the patient believes he is
getting the desired results, but he is
only deceiving himself and the result
is that his liver becomes more inactive
each day until he finally has to take
a medicine that really acts on his liver.
To avoid this unnecessary trouble,
expense and delay you should get a
bottle of Lemolac, the medicine that
possesses the merits of calomel with
out its dangerous and unpleasant eff
fects of your nearest druggist. 1t is
a real liver regulator and is sold under
a positive guarantee to please you by
Central Pharmacy, Pine Bluff, Ark.
P. S.-If you forget the name spell
calomel backward. (Advt.)

1t is not surprising that Charles E.
Hughes, Republican nominee for the
presidency, is combining his campaign
speeches to criticisms of the Demo-
cratic Administrations course without
offering constructive idea for i'm
provement; nor that he is endeavor-
ing to appeal to the prejudice of the
people of the North and Northwest by
asserting that Southern Democrats
are in control of the nations affairs.
and attempting to make capital out
of the fact that observing Demo
Gratis" have replaced Republicans in
many appointive positions.
Mr.. Hughes finds himself in di-
lemma. He is unable to suggest how
President Wilson might have handled
the international and Mexican situa-
tions differently unless he declares
the country should have been plunged
into war, as he strongly intimated, IN
a speech at Tacoma, Wash, Tuesday
night, he would have done had he been
president. Mr.. Hughes knows that
the mass of the people approve Presi-
dent Wilson's course, and he's afraid
to openly espouse the cause of his
corporation and Wall street friends
whose interests are opposed to those
of the common people. Hence, Mr..
Hughes is forced to limit himself to
criticism, and appeals to sectionalism
and prejudice course that is weak
ening him with members of his own
party.
President Wilson is seeking re-elec-
ton on a program of achievement IN
four years unsurpassed by the Re
publicans in the entire period they
had control of the federal government.
Secretary of War Baker outlined
briefly the issues on which the Demo-
Gratis will conduct the campaign, plac-
ing first "the fact that we are at
peace"
Other trump cards to be played by
lative accomplishments Of the Demo-
Gratis, who have given to the country
The federal reserve bank act.
The rural credits bill.
Amendment to the ship registry act.
The Underwood tariff bill.
Preparedness policy.
The child labor bill, now pending in
congress.
When it is recalled that the Repub-
licans failed during their long tenure
to give the people the benefits and
protection accruing from any one OF
the measures or policies enumerated,
it is not surprising that the candidate
of the G. O. p, over the party of the
"big interests" finds it impossible to
but forth one sound reason why ne
sAauld ,be. chosen president over that
great statesman, constructive captain
and peoples friend, Woodrow Wilson

predict the outcome OF the negotla-
tions today because everything de-
ponds on the decisions of the mana
gers and the employees.
1t was stated that for the present
the situation was at deadlock, but
that hope for a peaceful settlement
had not been abandoned.
Among the railroad managers today
there was discussion of a proposal fol
some sort of a permanent commission
to consider all railway wage disputes
in the flu ure, and that it should begin
with the present one. Whether it
should be a semi-p1ivate tribunal or
ganized by agreement between the
railroads and the men was not made
clear, but there seems &c be some
sentiment in favor of having it created
by act of congress, somewhat in the
nature of an enlargement of the
present board of mediation and con-
Citation.
Bro, h4rhood leaders would not say
whether q compromise might be
reached by putting an eight-hour day
into effect for six months for trial
and allowing pro rata pay for over
time as has been suggested, but they
said that such system would have
decided advantages over the one un-
der which they now are working.
Under that plan, man earning 81
in ten hours would make the same
amount in eight hours, and Ove.tlme
would start at 80 cents an hour III
stead of 40 cents. Thus at the end
of ten hours he would have earned
S. instead Of 81 as he now earns, and
be getting enc and one-quarter pay
fer overtime.
A large force of statistioians en-
ployed by the federal mediators was
today preparing tables for the presi-
dent, showing the costs to the rail
roads of an eight-hour day. The rail
road managers already have present
ed information of a similar nature.

willing to admit he was tired. He
was willing to admit he wanted to go
to sleep. Why, then, he so intensely
disliked to get into bed, the natural
refuge of the fatigued and drowsy,
was mystery to the authorities. His
only objection was, "But it's so soft"
Finally, according to the Chicago
Tribune, another of the boys explained
in this wise:
"That kid amt never slept on bed
before, and he's scared of it. And heS
scared to sleep on the floor, too, be-
cause no one else does it. He says
he'll stick his nose in the pillow and
die if he sleeps in the bed. But he
won't, will he, mister?"
Poor youngster! Afraid of the bed
because of the habit of his young life
experience of sleeping on the floor.
Afraid of the floor because of the
force of present, surrounding, public
opinion. What was he to do?
Doubtless by this time his problem
has been solved by the kindly folk N
charge.
But-as you relax comfortably to-
night on clean sheets and comfortable
mattress fortified by springs, suppose
YOU mediate for a moment or two ON
whether there isn't some little thing
YOU can do to make life sweeter and
easier for some of the kiddies who
have never slept upon bed.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE HOUSE OF LES
 WITH EDNA GOODRICH

Edna Goodrich recently eXemplified some of the risks a star faces in mak- ing q big rhOtoplay.
 In her latest Morosco- Paramount photoplay The House of Lies" at the Lamara theater, Miss Goodrich as sumed q risk that might have ended seriously.
 The plot requires that Edna Good rich show a big scar on her face. This appeared at first to be a serious obstacle but Miss Goodrich voluntarily placed herself in the hands of q spec ialiSt who made a very ugly appear ing scar. The scar being formed by tho contraction and discolOration of her skin under the action of chemi- calls. In this way a genuine scar was formed and convincing realism adie to the strong plot
 Fortunately as anticipated. nc mark was left after the specialist had com pleted his treatments.
 Miss Goodrich's heroic action has resulted in a powerful picture that shows a strange condition of modern society met and overcome in a unique and dramatic manner
