No Dust-Fyee Air

Dust-free air does not exist any
where in nature, though 1t can be OBJ
tanned by certain altering devices in
the laboratory, says Nature Magazine.
From the earth's surface up to regions
far above the highest clouds every
cubic inch Of air contains dustmotes.
Near the earth the dust Is mostly
blown up from the soil by the winds.
Far aloft the millions Of mete0rs that
enter the earth's atmosphere every
day contribute their quota Of fine solid
matter Lastly, every great explosive
volcanic eruption spouts up enormous
quantities Of dust to great heights.

HOW THANKFUL | I'M To-
THE MAKERS Of KARNAK'

how miserable it made me feel. My
liver was so inactive that Iwould
be dizzy and sluggish, and just felt
weak and wornout all over. My
suffering got on my nerves so l

have been in such condition know
how wretched / felt.
"But this glorious Karnak has
simply overcome all nly.suffering.
The stomach trouble and indiges-
ton are gone completely, and l eat
and enjoy my food like | had never

splendid condition, my nerves are

A PRESCRIPTION.

It's tonic and it's antidote-
It warns the heart like wine.
There's nothing like a good broad
smile
For helping things along;
1t makes the darkest places light
And tunes your soul to song,
There's nothing like kindly word
For bucking up a chum;
The beaming eye the friendly grip
Can help a fellow some!
With work, good cheer and kindness,
And laughter up your sleeve,
This queer old worlds not half so bad
AS some folks would believe!

HAVE YOU GIVEN?

Have you given so that the plan
for christmas in Every Home" in
Hamilton can be carried out to the
fullest extent? No! You haven't i?
And why not! Surely not because you
are so selfish at this time of the year
as to think only of yourself or your
own. Of course not. 1t is only be-
cause you have neglected or just did
mt think. Isn't that the real reason :?
And you ARE going to do it now, at
once, aren't you, brother? Why, you
konw you wouldn't enjoy your Christ
mas to the fullest if you thought, be-
cause of your negligence or tight
ness" some poor kid or woman wasn't
having something unusual that they
too might feel glad for the coming
of HIS day.
The men and women in charge have
worked faithfully and hard that the
Christmas spirit be present in every
home. Two hundred homes is the
mark set by these workers to bring
the gladness of the day. A huge
undertaking, indeed. The workers
must have the support of all citizens
if their plans are to be carried.
Contributions of money, food, cloth
ing, ETC., are needed in great amounts
especially cash. With cash, those in
charge are in better position to
know what is really needed for filling
the 200 baskets, so that if you are
willing to help, send in a donation of
cash.
1t is not yet too late-but do it
quick. The more money the more
good can be done, and the most good
done is too little at this time. Send
in, AT ONCE, your donation of cash,
food or clothing, and then see how
much more you enjoy the day for
having done so.

Washington.-A report by the COM
missioner of pensions shows that last
years operation Of the federal retire
ment law for civil service employees re-
suited in the collection of $10,000,-
900 more than expenses.
Under the law the government is
supposed to make up any deficit to
meet retirement charges, but it is es.
timated that it will be at least 25
years before the government will be
called upon to pay.
When the act was passed in 1926
provision was made for an assess
ment of 21a per cent on wages of al
employees. Last July this assessment
was raised to 31a per cent. The sur.
plus totals $55, 100000.

SENSE FROM CONGRESS

"We have much for which to blame
ourselves in our failure to solve the
emigrant problem. We, not they, have
often been the means of their sub
stituting the material for the spirit
ual. The foreigner is not now so
much to blame for failure to become
Americanized as are we in America,
because of the barriers we have
erected and the handicaps we have
placed in the way of his opportunities
to learn the English language and
to become full-fedged American citi-
zen. Our attitude has been one of
commercializing the immigrant rather
than encouraging him and giving him
opportunity to learn our language and
customs. Senator David |. Walsh,
of Massachusetts,.
What we want to do is not to tell
the farmer to quit producing any
thing but the problem which confronts
agriculture is how to handle what it
does produce in such way as not
to break the price, unsettle the mar
kets of the. world, and leave agricul-
ture languishing, something in which
the business man, the lawyer, the
railroad man, and everybody else has
a selfish interest" ."-Representative
Otis Wingo, of Arkansas.
'It is true that the direct primary
is no automatic device for the pro-
duction of good government. It is
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-12-24

only an agency for the use of the
people in expressing and enforcing
their will If such tool is not used,
it will be valueless, but when used it
will accomplish anything the people
really desire" - Representative M.
Clyde Kelly, of Pennsylvania.

CHILD LABOR INCREASES

The United States children's bureau
reports that Child labor in industry is
on the increase throughout the coun-
try.
This information does not accord
with predictions that agitation for the
federal child labor amendment will re-
suit in improved state child labor
laws.
Instead, it again proves that prof
iteers in child labor can not be trust
ed. 1t is all the same to them whether
the federal government or the state
checks them. They use different ex-
cuses, but they have one purpose.
1t remains for the people to decide
whether a physically stunted and an
illiterate citizenry of the future jus
titles continuance of present condi-
tions.
Congress attempted to debar the
products of child labor from inter-
state commerce, but the supreme court
said this was illegal. Lottery tickets
can be debarred, bnt not commodity
that children make.
Congress then attempted to tax the
products of child labor, but again
the supreme court interfered. The
court had previously ruled that it is
| legal to tax state banks and oleomar-
garine out of existence. In these
cases the court held that the intent
of congress can not be considered. 1t
| reversed itself in the child labor case
by holding that while the law claims
it to be tax bill, it is an attempt to
accomplish another purpose.
The child labor evil calls for insist
ent protest by every citizen who con-
siders the welfare of future genera
tions and his country.
! Courts and profteers have been
known to bow to an intelligent public
opinion.
