It Is not difficult for a cold wave to wear out Its welcome. There Is nothing childlike about the malevolence of Infantllo paralysis. Luckily this country raised a largo crop, for there Is a shortage In French wheat. Do not despise the humble spud. Tho crop In one county In PennsylTanla Is worth $1.0W.0O0. Missouri authorities are going to Import Mexican EÜngless bes. That will be good news for honey boy. Chicago Is to hnve a new theater designed to attract women. Matinee idols will be Its specialty, wo Infer. This aviation business is, all right, but wo do wish that tho coal people would quit trying for altitude records. The toll of death continues. It Is a case ot nip and tuck botween the speeding autos and the dashing bird men. A Colorado professor says that people get disease germs by shaking hands. La Grippe from the grip, aa It were. A Pittsburger has invented a fluid by the use of which each man can become his own embalmer. Tell the dead ones about it. However, speaking of extravagance, it does look foolish for a man to mortgage a useful home in order to buy an ornamental automobile. D" Woods Hutchinson wants to tear down and rebuild Now York city For a long time we have thought It mlg:.t be improvod In that way A' cording to a Parisian fashion Journal, the old-style hoop skirt will return in twenty years, but even so. we're too busy to worry about that sow. Even if woman Is becoming more masculine, as the Harvard man says, very few husbands will care to expatiate upon the theme by their happy firesides. A Velasquez portrait that has been missing 160 years "has come to light at the country place of the duke of Parma." The duke must live at Lonesomehurst. Berlin declares war on the deadly hatpin. Kansas City has put the kibosh on fireworks, and Chicago Is beginning to round up its crooks. Let the good work go on. Another expedition has Just started from New Zealand for the south pole, proving that thore are hardy people who on a cold day do not especially care to sit by a hot radiator. A pipe that was once used by Sir Walter Raleigh is offered for sale in London. In this connection we should like to know whether Sir Walter ever learned to roll hl3 own cigarettes. Japan has decided to let the emperor of Korea have a pentton. This 1b grnerous. It would have been too bad If the emperor had been compelled to open a laundry at his time of life. That dirigible balloon line from Dos ton to Washington will doubtless be uffl at first by people who have no prt sing engagement to dine at the "White House, as It is Impollto to keep ttc president waiting Wise in their day and generation are Paris raodiatrs who announce that thHr latest gowns are made to bu' n In front. Now there will be IfR klrking on the part of the husbands who havo to pay the bills. Prince Henry of Pnuula has been fh.rg along In military aeroplanes.

Li DETRIMENTAL State Manufacturers Would Cnange Provisions. HOLD MEET AT INDIANAPOLIS! Fredrick Declares Famlllei Are Deprived of a Part of the Income They Could Have If Children Were Permitted to Work. Indianapolis. Viewing the prosent provisions of the child labor law to be detrimental to many families, the Indiana Manufacturers" and Shippers' association. In session at Indianapolis, voted to Instruct Its legislative committee to ondwvor to bring about an amendment to the statute The members of the organization declare they do not deslro to be placed in the light of opposing the law, but rather they object to the provision which makes a flat statement that a child may work only after It attains a certain age. J. E. Fredrick of Kokomo, retiring president of the association, declared after the session that the provisions of the present law are such that many families are deprived of a part of the Income they could have if children were permitted to work, and many others, he said, are denied a proper livelihood by reason of the provisions of the law which prohibit children from working. "We do not oppose the provisions of the law which prohibit children from working In insanitary surroundings." ald Mr. Fredrick, "nor do we oppose the provision which prevents the employment of children wherp their wages are not needed by the family. The association believes that, where the wages of children are necessary to the welfare of the family and the conditions under which they work are proper, they should be allowed to aid in maintaining the family." Some of the members suggested that a provision be inserted in the child labor law to require all minors under a given age to attend night school when employed during the days, but the organization did not act on this. It was expected that the organization does not desire to see enacted any amendment to the statute which in any way will affect the present compulsory education law. Any amendment which would change the present statute. It was explained, would be applicable only to the season when school is not in session. C. M. Klmbrough of Muncle. former state senator, spoke in favor of the amendment to the law, saying that to prevent a child from working under a given age prevents the earning of a proper livelihood for many families. Urges Aid for Epileptics. The annual report of the board of state charitlee for tho fiscal year ended September 30. will urge the development of the Indiana Village for Epileptics, at Newcastle, as rapidly as Is consistent with the proper growth of the state's charities. "It Is to be hoped. the report will Bay, "that before many years every i epileptic In Indiana capable of improvement, if not cured, may be admitted promptly at the state Institution. With its largo farm and careful administration, it offers the best treatment known for epilepsy outdoor employment and proper diet." Four additional cottages will be opened for occupancy on the farm within a short time. With the present facilities the farm can care for 116 men and boys, and that number was in the village at the close of the fiscal year. The same day, according to the report, thore were 7G3 epileptics in other public institutions in the state. There were 299 In the hospitals for tho Insane. 264 In tho state School for Feeblo-Mlnded Youth, and two hundred In county infirmaries. "There is no way of telling." the board sayB, "how many others are living in homes in the state, but the number is doubtless considerable." School Apportionment Delayed. Announcement of the January apportionment of funds to the county schools by the state superintendent of public Instruction will probably not be made before tho latter part of next week, says John 1. Hoffman, deputy superintendent, who has charge of the apportionment. Tho law requires that the apportionment bo made according to tha December settlements nf the ounty auditors with the auditor of täte, and gives the county auditors until December SI to make auch settlement. Only IS of the 92 counties of the state have made their settlors ni a. and in a number of thee some chance are to be made. Pe-slons for Incfianlans. PerM us w-ere rran'ed Indian'ars r f. '..

A pretty story of Miss Ellen Terry and a gallant young playwright has gone the rounds of the Players' club. Miss Terry attended In New York the first night of this playwright's latest work and at the end of the third act he was presented to her. She congratulated hlm warmly. It Is very good." sh said. "Your play very good, indeed, and I shall send all my American frlonds to see It." "In that case." said the playwright, with a very low and courtly bow, "my little piece will sell 90.000.000 tickets." Ended the Controversy. On the steeple of an old Universal1st church In Bath. Me., there is a wooden figure of an angel. It Is not a remarkably fine specimen of art. and has always been somewhat laughed about, especially because of Its highheeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer recalls the story that a former pastor of the North Congregational church once accosted a devoted Universalist with the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you ever see an angel with high-heeled shoes on its feet?" "Why. no," answered Mr. Raymond, "I can't say that I ever did; but did you ever see ono without them?" Young Age Pensions. Young-age pensions! Why not? Titles, honors, riches, pensions and most other good things are, as a rule, postponed to a period of life when the capacity for enjoying them has been blunted. Australia was one of the first countries to adopt old-age pen slons, and now a labor member of the commonwealth parliament proposes a complementary scheme of young-age pensions. Ho would start by pension Ing tho fourth child at birth. The fact that three had previously been born showed that the parents were doing their duty and deserving well of the state. The young-age pension would "reward Industry and encourage tho birth rate." London Chronicle. GOT IT. Got Something Else, Too.

I hnd weak and hoavy spells and palpitation of tho heart, too, and although husband told me he thought it was the coffee that made me bo poorly, and did not drink It himself for he said it did not ngree with him, yet I loved my coffee nnd thought I Just couldn't do without it. "One day a friend called at my homo that was a year ago. I spoke about how well she was looking and 6he jald: " 'Yes. and I feel well, too. It's because I am drinking Postum In place of ordinary coffee." "I said, 'What la Postum?' "Then she told me how It was a food-drink nnd how much better she felt since using It In place of coffee or tea. so I sent to tho storo and bought a package and whon it was made according to directions It was so good I have never bought a pomid of coffeo since.
