CHILD LABOR LAW
DEFENDED BY SMITH
October 10, 1917,

October III, 1917,
Editor Glacier: Please, permit me
to say a word or two in reply to an
article which appeared in your paper
Oct. 3, Federal Law May Hit Can
ners.
Yes, Mr.. Gamer Man. if you disobey
the law, you will not be very long sin
doubt. You certainly will be investi.
gated by the federal grand jury.
The child labor law is the most
righteous piece of Legislation that has
been passed in the United States since
Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proc
lamation broke the shackles of eight
million slaves.
Now let us not forget that there
were many strong reasons for such a
passed in my life time that has been
any greater relief to outraged and
helpless humanity than the present ma
tionaI child labor law. If anyone
doubts my statement, go to the county
library, get the final report of the
Commission of Industrial Relations,
turn to page Il and there you will find
a gold mine of information on this SUBJ
ject.
| hope that no such thought is in the
mind of anyone to question the wisdom
and justice of this law. This was one
of the questions which was thoroughly
and impartially investigated. The re-
search and Investigations of this COM
mittee cost the federal government
something like million and half
dollars.
The evil treatment and vicious con.
dition in which the children were
found by the commission are the direct
cause of President Wilson insisting
that congress should pass this very
law.
Yes, enforce the law. Make the big
captains of industry obey the law; the
lance corporals of industry also shall
be compelled to obey the law by all
means. The welfare and happiness of
the children of our land are by far
more vital to America than industries
which to live grind out the gladness
from the hearts of the children and
take from their faces the | smiling
health and happiness of childhood.

The oldest, the most widely used, the

backache and during that trouble, my
kidneys acted irregularly. l felt de-
pressed and had no ambition for any
thing. After / had taken two boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills, l felt like differ

stopped and my kidneys haven't caused
me any trouble SINCE"
Mrs. Douglas is only one Of many
Hood River people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II your
back aches, if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for a kidney remedy

REWARD OFFERED
FOR ALL SLACKERS

Every man who failed to report TO
his local exemption board for military
service when notified to do so is listed
in the army draft records as a desert
er. A rewardIof $50 Sin cash will be
paid for the delivery of any such de-
serter to the nearest army camp or
post.
Notification of this reward and in
structions to begin at once state
wide hunt to round up slaekers of this
type have been received by the Adju-
tant General from the Provost Mar
shal General at Washington.
The instructions emphasize that the
reward will be paid over upon delivery
of the deserter, regardless of whether
he is able. to prove later that his fail
ure to report was not willful. The $50
is to include expenses incurred in the
delivery.
Though Oregon has a much better
record in this respect than most other
states, there are about 30, or $500
worthsof this kind of slacker-deserters
in the state at present, that number of
men who werescalled having failed to
report .to.their local exemption boards.
Their quick apprehension and delivery
to the military authorities is on the
program.
If ordinary methods do not prove ad.
equate to run them down, individual
descriptions and pictures of each man
wanted will be sent out through the
state. To permit one of these desert
ers to defy the call to military service
would be unfair to every man already
drafted, or subject to draft.
The military authorities are desirous
that every police officer and individual
citizen as well join in the campaign to
catch these deserters and turn them
over the to military authorities for
punishment.
Of course, there are some cases
where failure to report may have been
unavoidable. The government is de-
termined to round up every deserter,
but it has no desire to be harsh with
men who can prove that their failure
to report was not wilful.
If, after such persons are brought
to military authority" say the in
,structions on this point. "it appears to
the military authority that their delin-
quency is not wilful they will be for
warded to a mobilization camp and
their local board will be given credit.
If it appears that the delinquency
was wilfuf they will be prosecuted be.
fore court martial as deserters.
''In either case the reward is pay
able. -

MOther Praises Remedy
 That Relieved Her Baby
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Ks a Dependable Family
 Laxative.


 Nearly all the sickness incident to baby's life is due to constipation, or inaction ohthe bowels. At the first in- dication of irregularity in this import ant function, relief should be afforded promptly. A mild laxative should be administered to gently carry off the congestcd waste and leave the sto- mach and bowels free to perform their allotted tasks.
 Of the various remedies recom- mended to relieve constipation, the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, as prescribed by Dr. w. F.. Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is tho most effective. It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the taste, mild and gentle in action, and quickly brings the desired relief in an easy, natural manner.
 Mrs. c. J. Douglas, Mason, H., writes that she cannot say enough in praise of pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin as dependable family laxative. Little Mary Eva had been badly constipated until they tried Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which brought the first nat ural relief the child had had in two weeks

SOLDIERS NEED NOT
 WORRY OVER FEVER
Isolated Case at State Armory
 Not Dangerous

A case Of scarlet fever in the family of Sergeant Rice, quarter master at the State Armory on Arch street. has thrown . slight scare into the members of Company E, First In- fantry. in barracks there. According to Dr. T. E. Reeks. superintendent of health. there is no occasion for alarm and no reason to believe that the con- tagion will spread. especially since the patient Is a small boy and lives on the third floor of the armory building, far secluded from any of the soldiers.
 Need Four New Men.
 Determined to bring his command up to the authorized strength of 100 men within the next twenty-four hours. lieutenant Ashley J. Grimm to- day made preparations to try to in- duce four more mon to enlist This mornings report gave Company E ninety-six enlisted men and two ohl- cers, the last recruit being Walter Drzonsc. Four more men will bring the company up to full strength, but the officers in charge desire more men then this because two of the present number are almost sure to be discharged.
 To Discharge More Men.
 
 An order from the war department provides for the discharge of all en- listed men who have dependants who are subject to aid from the state or nation. There are qualifying clauses in this order. but the sense of 1t will mean that Company E is to lose Ser geant Smith and Corporal Simons. Even this will affect Company E less than majority of the commands in the regiment for I company alone will lose four men, 1t is said. In some of the companies, 1t was stated at the state armory in Hartford, the com. panies will be depleted by twenty-five per cent. and. seemingly. this will par ticularly affect the non-commissioned officers. Another new order from the war department absolutely prohibits the enlistment of any youth under eighteen years of age. Previously youths under that age could be en- listed if they obtained their parents consent.
 Company E kitchen is the busiest place at the armory these days and the kitchen detail has enough to do to keep the men going from morning sun- til night. Private Thomas O'Brien has been appointed company cook to succeed Orville S. ventres who again takes his place as private.
