 The profiteering principle extends to. the smallest articles-a lead pencil for another instance. Pencils have gone from five to ten cents not because the extra lead costs a fraction of a cent more. but because to raise the price from five cents to dime is the dealers notion of a proper war profit
 There is some excuse for I salaried man or wage earner who demands an increase Tn pay, for the leaping cost of living is forcing such demands, but there IS no valid excuse for the man who merely seeks to increase his profits. It is a crime against the help less when dealers and manufacturers deliberately conspire against the fan1i- lies ot the soldiers who have gone away to fight against military des- p0tism.

RESTRICTING CHILD LABOR.

Action of the right kind is that which has been taken by the war la bor policies board in deciding that there must be no child labor in con- nection with the carrying out of gov ernment contracts, This does not concern the sections of the country where similar regulations restricting child labor are in force, but applies to every state in the Union and it is interesting to note that it is in keep ing with the provisions of the Keat- ing child labor bill now before con gress.
 This is a new measure which has been drawn and presented with the idea of meeting to some degree the provisions of the biH which was de- clared unconstitutional. It has the endorsement of the president and it provides that during the war and for a period of six months following there shall be no child under II years of age employed in any industry, none between the ages of IA and Is for more than eight hours daily and none at all in mines or quarries.
 The war labor policies board does not go farther than to say what shall | be done in industries which are en- gagged in war work. but the pending bill plans to include all industries. In both cases recognition is given to the 1 necessity of stopping the child labor practices which are still resorted to l in many states. The bill is certainly worthy of early action but there is need for it's application at all times | for certainly if child labor should be
 restricted at a time when the indus 1 try of the nation is being pushed tt
 it's limit for national welfare it cer-
 tainly should be at other times. Ii
 would be simply justice to the chil,
 dren and the future of the nation.

If You Take Bitro-P Phosphate
 Says Dr. F. s. KoIle

Judging from the countless prepara- tiors and treatments which are con tinuallv being advertised for the pur- pose Of making thin people f1eshy. de- placing ugly hollows and angles b4 the soft curved lines of health and beauty. there are evidently thousands of men and women wfo keenly feel their ex- cessive tfinness.
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this de- fciencv so well as the organic phosphate known by The Lee & Osgood Co and druggists as tro-phcsnhate which is druegists under a guarantee of satis- faction or mpney back.

Views of the vigilantes

inE STiM OF PHCFi EE Ht tNG. By Hamlin Garland of The Yigilantes.
 To my mind, one of the noblest
 phases Of this war is the outburst of generous giving on the part of the great merchants and manufacturers of America. II would be an injustice not
 to admit this.
 The impulse which leads a man to
 forego a salary of seventy-f1ve thous- and dollars per annum or 10 neglect an enormoes business for a position on the government roll at one dollar per year is ma gniicent. I for one am not disposed to cavil CT criticize by say ing: Tt is easy to give up a salary of that size because it argues a 1 wealth which is sufficient without it" I am willing to grant the fine spirit l which leads men like Baruch. Rosen- 1 Wald. Crane and House to give of l their time and money and genus to tf1e i cause for which we are fighting. My 1 only care is to see that I give in the i same proportion and in the same mood. 1 Without doubt there Is less of con l scianeeleSs profiteerlng in this war | than in either the Civil war or the 1 Spanish war, but having granted this, we arc still confronted with the fact l that there ere ir America today a 1 great many men seeking ways to levy 1 tribute on those who are unable to elnde their derna nds

MEDICINE FOR THE HUNS.

That there is a demand for the sending to Germany of an ultimatum to the effect that it must stop the ruthless destruction of cities in Bel rium and northern France or the al lied nations will retaliate by causing similar destruction to cites in Ger many is right in accord with other moves Of 2 similar nature.
 There is absolutely no justification fer the wanton blowing up and burn :rg of the cities, towns and villages which the Teuton forces leave They may be anxious to get rid of certain supplies which they are unable to take away for they are of course de- sirous Of leaving nothing of value for the allies, but that should be confined to things of military importance.
 Germany is gaining nothing by the studied plan of leaving nothing but desolation in its wake It is going to he made to pay for all the waste when the day. reckoning comes, but it has been found from experience that Eothing brings the Germans to their senses like giving them a taste of their own medicine. This has been disclosed by the bombing of the Rhine cities and by the use of poisonous gases, and it is time that Germany was informed that if it continues to carry out the practice of applying the torch that it can expect to see just such things done under the policy oi an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
 Enough has already been done tc warrant the allies in deciding on suct reprisals. It is showing more than a spirit of fairness to give it warning hut no harm will be done by giving Germany notification of the allies in. tontions and doing it in the straigh from the shoulder method which Sec. retary Lansing but recently employed

 These are times when bravery and generosity are in the ascendant AS the war goes on the need of these great virtues will incr=ase. but also and alas! the opportunity for profiteerins will augment and unless some check is placed upon 1t we will feel the pinch of the prufteering greedy claw. We must back up the government in it's work but we should also character ize clearly and strongly our hatred of tine robber no matter where he may be found.

GERMAN CABINET CHANGES.

After having been predicted for a long time Chancellor von Hertling of Germany presented his resignation and at the same time Foreign Secre- tary von Hintze. who had held office but a short time did likewise. The dropping out indicates that they have not been satisfactorily meeting the re- quirements of the kaiser and at the same time the people. Von Hertling had made a number of addresses, and they were apparently inspired. which failed to meet with acceptance. The conditions have been going from bad Co worse and there remained noth ing else but to get out. The test to rhich von Hintze was put quickly de- hded his fate.
