Hi-Brow Chimpanzee
with Circus TODAY

More or less fiction, with some
truth, has from time to time appeared
in newspapi rs regarding the different
chimpanzees with circuses, but with
it all, there was always a tendency to
draw upon the press agents imagin-
alton. until it has become a recog-
nized fact today that there are. a
number of chimpanzees with travel
ing circuses and shows, claiming to be
educated.
But it remains for Nine. Darceis to
fully demonstrate to the critic Of all
critics, "the public" that ALEX" is
without doubt the nearest to the Miss
ing Link in America today.
Nine. Darceis has taught Alex all
the we'll known tricks or stunts that
you will see usually performed by the
chimpanzee with other circuses, and
then has perfected him in other lit
tie features so true to human life
that you wonder for once that you are
not looking at some small boy in the
pastimes Of the youth Of today.
Alex's daily life is arising in the
morning from a downy couch. at once
to the bath tub, where he spends no
less than fifteen to thirty minutes.
and would spend longer if he were
permitted, as it seems the height Of
his ambition to take daily dives from
the edge of the bath tub into it. After
his bath and dressing. he partakes of
his morning meal, which consists Of
cereal, orange juice, nuts and bread
and milk. After breakfast he is gen.
orally on the carpet for roll with
his chaperon, and then for a bicycle
ride: by that time he is ready to go to
the circus lot. Once more he sits
down to a table, especially construct
ed for him, and partakes Of lunch;
thence to the dressing room of Howe's
Great London Circus, where he awaits
his turn with other performers for
his exhibition today with Howe's
Great London Circus, at both after
noon and night performances.

Children's Work Permits
Accepted in Maine
As Evidence of Age

Collector Of Internal Revenue Leon
o. Tebbetts today received COM
munication from the department at
Washington advising him that the
Child Labor Tax Board has directed
that unless sooner revoked for cause,
the State of Maine has been redesig-
mated until June /. 1921, as one in
which work permit or vacation per-
NIT for children shall be accepted as
evidence of age.
"Evdience of age should not be
construed to mean that the holder of
a State work permit is allowed to
work nine hours per day without vio-
lation of the Federal Child Labor
Act" says the communication from
James Hagerman, Jr., deputy com.
missioner.
1.-THE Federal Act prohibits the en-
ployment of children between the
ages of IA and 16 years more than
eight hours in any one day, while
the State law permits the employ
ment of children under 16 years of
age nine hours per day.
In any state designated by the
board, an employment certificate or
other similar paper as to the age of
the child, ISSUED under the laws of
that state, and not inconsistent with
the provisions of the title, shall have
the same force and effect as certifi-
cate herein provided for.
"In other words the Federal Child
Labor Tax, 10 per cent on net annual
profits, will not be imposed upon es-
Establishments in the State of Maine
where the only employment or per-
mission to work, which would other
wise subject the employer to the tax.
, has been of child employed in good
faith as of legal age to work, and
| whose properly executed work GER
tificate' has been kept on file by the
proprietor.
ANY person who knowingly makes
false statements or presents false
! evidence in relation to a certificate
or application therefor shall be pun
| ished by fine of not less than 500,
nor more than $1,000, or by imprison-
ment for not more than three months,
or by both such fine and imprison-
ment in the discretion of the court"

When kidney diseases have been
successfully treated for a period of
more than forty years. it is reasona-
BILE to assume that the remedy there
fore must possess unusual merit.
Such is the remarkable record Of
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Remedy. Without it's ability to give
relief and benefit its users so that
they would continue its use, it could
not have existed 40 months, much
less 40 years of it's enviable record.
Many letters have come to US to
prove that it has been a household
remedy for years and years. Here is
what one grateful woman has recent
ly written:
II wish to say that your remedies
have been used in our family for if
teen years. We are never without a
bottle of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Remedy in our home, and it
has saved many a doctors bill. 1t is
a wonderful medicine for all diseases
