The issue is clear; United States

ton, is unaItetably opposed to the
court or any other foreign, entang-

1t is evident that the people Of Hi

Chinese Baby Labor
Now To BE Forbidden

Chinese labor, after centuries OF
nineteen-hour-days and seven-day
weeks, with no vacation, sees hope for
better labor conditions at last through
Chinese membership in the League Of
Nations and hence automatically an
the International Labor Organization.
Royal Meeker in the current issue OF
the League OF Nations News, pub
lished by the League of Nations Non
Partisan Association, outlines the
new factory regulations" recon
mended to the Chinese Government
by the last International Labor Con
ference.
Chinese employers, who for years
have employed at heavy tasks children
of five TO fourteen years of age, and
who have required employees 10 stay
by the job nineteen hours a day, are
now adopting labor regulations limit
ing the age OF child lab0refs to boys
over ten and girls over twelve, aud
restricting hours to eight day for
young persons and ten a day FOR
adults.
Very young children who formerly
began work at three o'clock in III
morning will now be forbidden u
work at night between 3 p. m. and
a. m. II tae conference factory
regulations" are adopted by the Chin.
ese Government as they bid fair 10 be
according 70 Mr.. Meeker.
Not only is the Chinese employer
urged by the international Labor
Organization 10 adopt more humane
policies with regard 10 hours anC
labor, but he is also urged to pro.
vide facilities and defray the cost Of
further education for young person.
and adults who have not completed
their education"
Mr.. Meeker concludes his article Of
Chinese labor betterment with a re
minder that Americans should no
forget that much remains TO be don'
in the way Of labor Law enforcement
in this country. Many labor laws OF
the statute books Of the states, while
mandatory in form are utterly in

Substitutes Can Not Take
The Place of Cows Mill,

Statement regarding butter, by ;. j.
Stanard, Director. Illinois Department
of Agriculture.
ln answer To recent widely pub
lished statements which wefe appar-
emily intended TO discourage the use
of creamery butter, desire to call the
public's attenticu 10 the following
facts:
Milk has been ralute's most perfect
food since prehistoric times. First it
was goats milk and in more recent
times. cows milk. MIX is complete
food, the first received BY the infant,
and the most beneficial food which We
receive in life.
Butter Is the fsl of the milk and l.
| the most healtbfdY ard desirable fa'
consumed by man. Creamery butter
is the safest and best butter obtain
able. II is manufactured in a most
careful and scientific manner II Is
manufactured insmtd
thoroughly pasteunzed, rendering 1t
-erfectly healthful and if consumed
while fresh, cannot be eXcelled as a
palatable, reliable and desirable food.
More effort has been expended to i'm
prove this product during the past
several years than any food product
with which | am acquainted. In my
opinion there are no substitutes for
milk and milk products.
Then we hear that butter subsu-
tutes are derived from the farm and
should be supported by agriculture.
In this connection ! will merely say
that the number of farmers In the
United States who are partially OF
entirely dependent on their cream
check can be counted by the millions
while the amount of beef fat used IN
butter substitutes is not sufficient t.
seriously influence the beef market.
Beef fats, cocanut oil and the like are
not to be condemned, but they are not
milk fat and are in no way related
to that splendid product Of the COW.
