A WAY TO STOP IT

The propagandists for Federal
regulation Of youth up to IS years
Of age declare they will continue the
campaign for it, Notwithstanding it
is evident that they may succeed on
ly by securing a reversal Of >judg-
ment in a number Of the States that
have, already rejected it.
Such unwillingness to abide by a
decision, about which SO much has
been said pro and con, is really an
expression of contempt for public
sentiment. 1t indicates confidence
in a weakness often noticed, that
which will finally yield it's judgment
TO a desire to be "let alone"
Any communities that have toler-
Ated. any exploiters of child labor,
will in effect aid and abet these
seekers for a constitutional amend
ment by tolerating a continuance Of
the evil. II State authorities will
properly regulate the labor of chill
dren under the age of fifteen or six
teen they will deprive the propon-
erts Of the amendment of ammuni-
ton. If they do not clean their
skirts they eventually will find SAL
aried officials from a Washington
Bureau seriously advising families
how to bring up their 1S-year- old
children. That would serve the Of
tenders right but would be hard on
the great majority of people; also,
we believe. anything but beneficial to
the grown-up youth.

Heat
For pain - soreness

rheumatic pains, soreness, aches
etc, call for heat. The best way to
apply it is Red Pepper Rub.
This is the modern way. 1t so ex-
GELS the old ways that there is no
comparison.
Nothing else creates such concen-
trated, such penetrating heat as red
pepper. And heat that doesn't hurt
you
You feel that tinglin heat in an in
slant. In three minutes it seems to
penetrate the depths. Circulation is
started. congestion is relieved Pain
and the soreness go.
What folly it is to suffer pains so
easily and quickly stopped. What
folly to let cold in the chest go
neglected. When trouble starts at
night what folly to wait until morn
ing.
Keep Red Pepper Rub on hand
Homes which do that save a great
deal. of pain. Get it now-the very
utmost in help Of this kind.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas. sourness ana Paia
How To Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nine tenths OF the cases of stomac h
trouble, indigestion. sourness, burning,
gas. bloating, nausea ETC. are due to an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach and not as some believe to a lack of
digestive juices. The delicate stoma cl,
lining is irrtated, digestion is delayed
and food sours. causing the dsag cable
symptoms which every stomach Sufferer
knows well.
Artificial digestcnts are not needed in
such cases and may do real harm. Try
laying aside all digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist a few ounces of
Bisurated Magresa and take a teaspoon
ful in quarter glass OF water right after
atlng. This sweetens the stomach, pre-
vents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness. gas or pain. Bsu-
rated Magnesia lin powder or tablet form
never liquid or milk is harmless to the
stomach, inexpensive 10 take and is the
most efficient form Of magnesa for stom-
aeh purposes. 1t is used by thousands Of
people who enjoy their meals with no
more fear of indigesti on-Adv.

INTELLIGENCE TEST

Much Is said to be expected from
the intelligence tests being carried
on at Harvard Of 5000 children.
Nevertheless. as the investigation
proceeds its completely becomes
more apparent. this is illustrated
by the ways in which one of the
factors. maturity. may operate in
establishing racial differences during
the period Of growth"
To quote further from the investi-
cation:
"G4rls mature much earlier than
boys and a careful examination OF
school accomplishment as regards
sex difference shows the girls to be
slightly superior to boys. and in the
results thus far reported for the in
dividual intelligence tests the girls
are also superior to the boys by
about a point or two in intelligence
quotients. In one recent study with
q sroup test Of intelligence. a dit.
ference of as much as one year of
mental age at the thirteen years of
age level has been reported. but,
with this exception, neither In school
accomplishment nor in Intelligence
are the girls so superior as their
relatively great maturity would lead
one to expect. A possible explana-
ton is that since girls enter school
at the same age as boys and are
promoted at only slightly faster
rate than boys they are not able to
profit by their relatively greater
maturity. And since the intelli-
gence, as at present tested. depends
so largely on schooling, they again
are prevented from making a better
showing"
Reviewing the method DR.. Dear
born, professor of education at
Harvard, says, in speaking OF studies
in a certain community. where the
number of Italian, jewish and
American children are about equal:
1.-THE Jewish children rank highest
in mental age and In intelligence
quotients, then come the Americans
and last the Italians. In anatomical
development, the Jewish children
are far ahead of the other two
groups.s The Italian boys appear
slightly more developed than the
American boys, whereas the Ameri-
can girls are a little more developed
than the Italian girls
Naturally, the professor concludes
further investigation is necessary,
that a further analysis of the rela-
tive influence of native endowment,
physiological maturity, health and
environment, by means Of repeated
tests is present need"

"Gracious goodness me-" eXciaim-

Just then the telephone bell went,

"Who is calling little me:

answered the little rabbit, just like
that, quick as the wind that blows

The little rabbit had not mis-

NEED OF A PLAN

History does not record that this
country in time Of peace ever pre-
pared for war. notwithstanding the
admonitions Of experience. But his
tory does record that 1t has in every
war save that in which it establish
ed the right to be a country, for
which It was in a meas(f prepared
by recent experience in war, sacri-
feed thousands to its unprepared-
ness. This. Notwithstanding it is
true with regard ID the profession of
arms as of other professions, that
they are inclined to overestimate
their part in the entirety.
A controversy has recently arisen
over. the subject of aviation. 1t has
attained such widespread interest
that the country can not come to I'M
derstanding Of the situation unless it
may obtain disinterested information
as to the real conditions. Commits
sions and investigations are not in
higl, repute by reason Of the publics
experience with them. jut it mani
testify has become -. essential that
some method should be adopted for
securing the information needed.
While the doctors are disagreeing
practical nursing of what we have
would seem advisable. The Presi-
dent has concluded from the EVIL
deuce which he commands that the
battleship is not obsolete. The naval
hoard reported that battleship Is
capable Of withstandtng aerial at
tack. Il is not improbable under
conditions existing that greater i'm
provement win be made in the Of

turs than may be made in the de-
fensave Of water craft. Data that Is

cra4 supposed to be essential to
theit defense. A. illustration it is
said that the Panama Canal is sup
posed to need observation and pur-
suit planes and has none; that the
Philippines are in similar predica :
ment. and have but ten lombard
merit planes in place Of the 1S esti-
mated to be needed.
It. is said the congressional COM
mittees are badly muddled by the
conflicting testimony of so-called ex-
perts. Surely the public is likewise
muddled and getting in deeper. Out
of all this comes the impression that
we do not know what we are about
witt regard to measures for national
defense. Why should not a joint
committee Of House and Senate be
made up and assigned to the duty
of collecting data and from that
formulating comprehensive plan on
which the next Congress may act,
insofar as it may be capable Of act
ing? There should not rest in the
public's mind or in the mind Of any
other people the idea that the United
States does not know what it wants
in the way Of preparation for nation
al defense
