HAD LOST TWENTY POUNDS

Weeks-Is Improving Every Day.

"I wouldn't take all the money in
Columbia for the good Vitona has done
me-" said ]. NJ. Kirby, 1910 Hampton
Street, and well known Columbia
citizen, few days ago.
"Yes, SIR continued Mr.. Kirby, "the
results I obtained from Vitona have
simply been amazing, for had been
going down hill fifteen months and
could find nothing tc check my trou-
bles until took Vitona I've been
taking it only two weeks and have
actually gained six pounds, already.
81 was in bad rundown condi-
ton and was losing weight and
strength every day. In fact, I fell OF
twenty pounds. I was so nervous at
night I couldn't sleep and all during
the day 1 felt tired and listless. I
was also troubled with Indigestion and
couldn't eat hardly anything without
suffering afterwards. I got so wess
it was all that could do to work and
several times 1 came pretty near Civ
ing up altogether.
az shall always bless the day I be-
gan taking Vitona for I began then
to regain my lost health after the first
few doses, and now Pm not like the
same man. l have good appetite, eat
anything I want and my food agrees
with me perfectly. I'm not nervous
anv longer, my sleep is sound and
restful and 1 get up every morning

ger a burden but instead is a pleas
ure to me. I am gaining in weight
and strength every day and am begin
ming to feel like my old self again.

ALBERT ORTIZ Is SENTENCED
TO a MONTHS
Publisher of German Language Paper
in Charleston Convicted on
All Four Counts in Two
Cases-Must Pay $1,000
Fine,

| News and Courier:
Columbia, Nov. 13.-Albert Orth,
publisher of the Deutsche Zeitung, a
German language newspaper at Char
lesion, was given an accumulatlVe
sentence late this afternoon in the
Federal District Court in session here,
amounting to fourteen months in the
federal prison at Atlanta and fines
aggregating $1,000, following his con-
viction on two indictments charging
him with aiding and abetting in the
escape of Lieue Robert Fay and Will
: liam Knobloch from tie federal prison
at Atlanta on August 90, 1915, and Of
harboring them in Charleston.
The jury received the first case, that
appertaining to Robert Fay, at 1.35
O'Clock this afternoon and returned a
verdict in an hour and twenty-five
minutes, and the other, relative to
William Knobloch, was handed the
jury at $50 p. M, and verdict was
rendered in twenty-five minutes.
Convicted On All Counts.
There were two counts under each
Indictment, and Orth was found guilty
OF all of them. Under the first in
dictment, Judge Henry A. NJ. Smith,
presiding, sentenced 0rth to pay a fine
of $500 and serve six months for each
count, the sentence on the second
count to commence at the expiration
of that of the first count. Under the
second Indictment the Charleston pub
Usher was sentenced to pay fine OF
800 and serve one month for each OF
the two counts, these sentences to be- |
gin at the expiration of the sentence
under the first indictment.
Judge Smith said that he had to be
particular as to the case in which as
sistance rendered to Robert Fay was
charged, as Fay was convicted of plac-
ing bombs aboard ships, which was a |!
most heinous offense, in that he jeo- !
pardarized the lives OF innocent people |
among them being women and chill
dren The other Indictment was not
as serious, he said
Will Appeal; Bali st 600.
The attorneys for Orth gave nctice |
of an appeal on d writ of error, to
which Judge Smith said he would con-
sent. He set the bond for Orth's re-
lease at $4,000 and remainded him to
the custody of the United States mar
shall until bond can be arranged, /
which will be before the United States
commissioner at Charleston. Orth was
not incarcerated, but went to hotel,

One hears the same joke on certain
citizens in every town he stays, but it
was in Newberry tLat young man IN
a barber shop heard farmer ask the
barber if the price of shave was not
coming down to five cents. That was
in 1914. The barber told the farmer
he was thinking of putting it to ID
cents, because the farmers had such
long faces to be shaved. The price
then went to Is cents, but the far
mers are no longer wearing long
faces.

people are the helpless victims Of
these professional charities.
Witness after witness was brought
before the committee, among them be-
ing many victimized parents. 1t was
proved in numerous cases that chill
dren were forcibly taken from their
natural parents whom they never saw
again, whose only crime was poverty,
and consigned to these various insti-
tutions to which $500 per month
was paid by Cook county for each fe-
male and $1,000 for each male child,
SO long as they remained in the in
stitution, or until they were disposed
Of to the highest bidder and shipped
into another state or away from the
city. The investigation revealed the
fact that to at least one Of these
Romish institutions THE COUNTY
WAS PAYING REGULARLY FOR
CHILDREN GONE MORE THAN A
YEAR. PROBATION OFFICERS
WERE EXPOSED WHO CON-
FESSED TO SELLING CHILDREN
AT $500 PER HEAD to persons of
whose personal lives, place Of abode,
or business they were in total igno-
| rance.

been opposed by the Roman Catholic
church which has been the most ener-
getic in the promotion, and the great
est beneficiary Of the traffic.
Other Patriots In Fight
Through committee Of patriots
known as the Chicago Law Enforce
rnent League organized for the pur-
pose Of looking isto the runors and
reports Of the activities Of the var
ious sect4rian Institutions to which
these delinquent And dependent chill
dren were assigned, as well as the per-
sonnei Of the o6ic6rs In charge, 1t was
learned that many Irregularities and
unlawful practices were being carried
on,
II was learned that the taking care
Of the children OIL Chicago has grown
into a very ext3nded, far-reaching
and, We might ADJ, a very profitable
Institution. Particularly has 1t been
found to be profitable to the various
Romish INDUSTRIAL schools and insti-
tntions, presumably much interested In

portion Of these boys and girls have

Of the court have worked themselves
into remunerative positions. So ex-
tended has become this work that to-
day its ramifcations extend into far
wider fields than any other court in
the city Of Chicago. It's files and rec
ords have become SO voluminous that
they are out-distancing any Of the
other courts.
Legislature Investigates
Through the activity Of Mr.. Dunn
and other patriots, the 1915 session
Of the Illinois legislature conducted
a vigorous investigation into these
so-called charitable organisations
licensed TO handle wards Of the state.
The findings of this Joint Commit
toe, appointed under House Joint Res
oiution No. SO Of tho Forty.Eig
General Assembly Of Illinois, contains
SOL pages filled with such q mass OF
condemning information that no fair
minded person can read 1t and not
feel Mortified. Sitting the real meat
Of the findings 1t Is easily ascertained
that an institution presumably
launched In the interests Of the chii.
dren Of the city Of Chicago and other
cities Of the state, has been converted
into q hldeOus commeFclalized business

he terms this cruel child traffic system
through churches, church societies,
fraternal organizations and other
bodies basing their right Of existence
upon humanitarian principles.
He has attempted to show that
women of gentle instincts, noble In
heart and mind, have unconsciously
affiliated with clubs and societies
many Of the latter engaged in this
child shaving under the alluring name
of child-saving-littl realizing that
they were linked to an octopus work
ing on commercial basis to a COM
mercial end, and leaving broad
swath Of bruised hearts, desecrated
mother love, ruined homes and hope
loss lives compared with which the
Juggernaut Of India was respectable.
The latter claimed almost wholly none
but voluntary victims, but the Juvenile
law, he claimed, operated on involun-
tary, unconscious and helpless human
creatures, from the babe at the breast
Of its mother up to the young man
and the young woman.
During these years Of fighting and
protesting Mr.. Dunn has been sub
jected to the most vicious opposition

805 and 834, this same Romish in
stitution was paid $97,6S4.75 in the
two years 1914 and 1915, making q
total for the four years, 1912-13-14
and 15 of $172,756.S5.
According to these same records
your commissioner finds that not only
the (Ronan) Chicago Industrial
School for Girls is being paid enorm-
GUS sums for this kind of service but
that other Roman Catholic schools
and institutions as well as some Prot
estant, have been nursing at the
breast of the Cook county tax payers
to the extent of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars per year.
the following Roman Catholic schools and IN
situations received from the public funds the
following: st. Mary's Training School. s2i1.-

Catharlna KAsper Industrial School for Girls,
ss22e6.lS; kettlsr Manual Training School
for Boys. $7S,52S.SS.
This makes a total paid out Of the
tax payers money in Cook county
alone for the maintenance of Romish
institutions during the four years
specified Of $772,545.79. Were it nec-
essary to go back for ten years or
more we could show that the amount
of funds paid out, ILLEGALLY, to
support these Romish institutions
would mount into the millions in this
one city and county alone.
OF course they would not show up
so monumental each year for the very
simple reason that the industry Of
trafficing in helpless children is a Ego
