CUSTOM STRONGER THAN PRESENT LAW Mornay William Says it is Hard to Enforce Statutes

NEW ORLEANS, March 19. "Custom is often stronger than laws," Mortiay Williams, chairman of the New York Child Labor Committee, told the delegates to the National . Child Labor Conference here yesterday. He was explaining why statutes protecting women and child are so difficult of enforcement. He said, in part: "In the ca6e of any legal reform, there are always two sides to be considered, the enactment of the reformatory measures and the enforoement of them. Under the stress of strong public feeling, either of sympathy or indignation, it is sometimes comparatively easy to secure legislation. But unless the legislation is of such a character as to commend itself generally to officials, it is not easy to secure its nnforcement, if it runs contrary to old usages and vested Interests. This is the chief difficulty of enforcing adequate child labor laws. Jlen are trained under customary laws. Added to this, in the case of the courts, is a fact that the whole genius of Anglo-Saxon law has been enlisted on behalf of personal liberty and the preserving of the rights of private property. The more thoroughly a judge is instructed in the history and spirit of Anglo-Saxon law, the loss likely is he to break away from what seems to him the cardinal principle of the law. namely: the principle of individual freedom and individual right to property. "Over against the crystalized fortification in defence of personal liberty there has been growing up in all the great mercantile and manufacturing communities an increasing sense of corporate responsibility for the unnecessary burdens placed upon the shoulders of childhood and womanhood, and a growing apprehension that the individual must even be protected against himself, by society as a whole."

Health and Beauty Helps By Mrs. Mae Martyn

Felice: Yes. all face powders give mi artificial complexion, but the daintiest complexion will be given an aildf ti touch of refined elegance if you use this spurmax lotion made by uissohing 4 ounces spurmax (which you can net. at the druggist's) in pint hot water or witch hazel. This lotion dispels tho oily, shiny, "muddy" condition ami sixes to a rough, unlovely .kin a velvety smoothness and exquisite clnrni. The spurmax lotion dries quickly and cannot be detected when on, and itn regular use guards against complexion upsets. Ara 1..: You can remove your wrinkles and regain your youthful complexion hy a short course of treatment with an almozoin jellycream. This is made by dissolving 1 ounce almozoin (every drug store carries thisi in pint water to which is added 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. Best results follow when you apply this jelly-cream at. night. Rub well into the skin and do not remove until morning. This soon banishes pimples, blackheads, blotches and wrinkles and leaves the skin clear, smooth and velvety. Nothing can ecpial it for reducing large pores and restoring the youth tint, to the complexion. lira: Try a plain crystos tonic for your sore eyes and I am certain you will obtain quick relief. This is made by dissolving an ounce crystos (which I get at the druggist's) in a pint cold water. Its use will make the eyes bright and expressive and for all minor eye troubles such as weakness, aching mufcles or granulated lids, is superior to anything you can buy. A. B. X.: Yes, the parnotis treatment for weight reduction is entirely harmless and does away with dieting or violent exercise. It is easily prepared just dissolve 4 ounces paruotis (which you get at your druggists) in l1 pints hot water. When it cools, take a tablespoonful three times daily until your weight is satisfactorily reduced. With this treatment your skin will be left smooth and free from wrinkles and no ill effects are experienced.

Married Life the Third Year "There. Is that even?" asked Hlem. "I can't see, mikm," said Drtla. "You're standln' right fn the way:" Helen climbed down and viewed the curtain she had just hung with frowning disapproval. "No, It's still a Mttle too long." "It's about as good as we can get It," protested Delia. "No, I WILL get that even,' and for the third time Helen took that particular curtain down. On account of the window seats in this apartment, all the curtains had to be shortened. Helen had spent the whole morning, bnt had only hung those in the front room and library, and she had hoped to get them all up before lunch. "No, that OUGHT to be "Eft, when she once more mounted the ladder and slipped the curtain rod into ttc onvat "Vm thnt's even at last.

viewing it from the floor. Now, Delia, bring the ladder into Mr. Curtis room. I'll put those up next. As they went into Warrens room, Helen's foot caught in the wire and almost pulled over the large mirror that was propped up against the foot of the bed. "Oh, Delia, we MUST hang this mirror before it gets broken. Wed better do it right now." "Ain't that too heavy for lis to hang?" grumbled Delia. 'Til set it back of the bed. It won't get broken there." . "No no, T want it hung! I want to get Mr. Curtis' room all in order before he comes home. This won't be hard to hang." But the ceiling was higher than in the old apartment, and the wire that was on the mirror was too short. "Bring in that box of nails and things. There's some picture wire in that." , . "This won't be strong enough, objected Delia sullenly, as she brought in the box. "It ain't as heavy as heavy as what's on there." "I can double it. There!" as Helen twisted the wire and fastened it securelv. "That'll hold it. Now, how'll I cut this? See if you can find those old kitchen scissors." nt inst thpn the doorbell rang and Delia had to answer it. "A man to see you, ma'am." Helen took off her working gloves, smoothed back her hair and went to the door. But it was only a man from Clear Creek dairy soliciting their milk trade. "We serve most of the families in this house, ma'am. We'd like you to give us a trial. You'll find our milk the very best." It was the third dairyman who had been there that morning, all claiming that they served "most of the families in the house." "Delia, find out what these men want before you call me to the door again," instructed Helen impatiently. Helen was on the step-ladder and Delia was just handing up the mirror when the bell rang again. "Oh, what a NUISANCE!" exclaimed Helen angrily. "It's a spring water man, ma'am," hand her a card. "He says he'd like to speak to" you." VERY, VERY, BUSY. "Tell him I'm too busy to see any one. Besides, we don't want any spring water." "No, do hold this?" as Delia came back. "We'll never net this mirror up. Oh, my. I believe it's still going to be too high. I didn't make that piece long enough." But Delia showed so plainly that she objected to again taking down the heavy mirror that Helen reluctantly let it go. "Well, I suppose that'll have to do now; I'll get Mr. Curtis to lengthen it tonight. At least it's up out of the way. Now let's get to the curtains." As there were no window seats in the bedroom the curtains were just the right length, so It took only a few moments to put up the rods and hang them. "There, they hang beautifully!" exclaimed Helen. "And don't they look well? Nothing improves a room so much as curtains. Now let's see about the ones for the dining room." But the woodwork in the dining room was Flemish oak and so hard that it was almost impossible to screw up the fixtures. "I can't get that screw in, ma'am," complained Delia, who hated to put E. G.: Nature never intended wom an to have fuzz on her cheek. Get from your druggist a small original package j of delatone and mix a little of the powder with water. Apply the paste to the obnoxious hairs and in 2 or 3 minutes rub off and the hairs will come with it. After the skin is wash ed and dried it will be velvety and free from hair or blemish. O. I).: Tour dry. dandruff-laden scalp will yield uickly to a treatment with a plain quinzoin tonic which can be cheaply made at home as follows: To ys pint alcohol add 1 ounce quinzoin (get at druggist's) then pour in U pint cold water. A little of this should be massaged well into the scalp at. frequent intervals. This will stimulate the scalp-tissues, overcome dryness, banish dandruff and encourage a lovely growth of shimmery, silky hair. This quinzoin tonic will benefit even the healthiest scalp and hair. Molly: When I feel that all-gone feeling and note a sallowness of chin and neck, or a breaking out of pimples at this time of the year, I get an ounce of kardene from my druggist's, dissolve it in a half pint of alcohol (not whisky) add cup of sugar and hot water to make a full quart. A quart costs very little made in this way. A tablespoonful should be taken before each meal. This old-fashioned kardene tonic expels poisonous accumulations from the blood, builds up waste tissue and restores full health and strength to weak, worn bodies. Miss B.r I have found no hair cleanser of as great benefit to my hair as canthrox shampoo. Just dissolve a teaspoonful canthrox in a cup hot water, then pour slowly on the head and rub gently. Tlje lather thus created is very cleansing and invigorating, and rinsing leaves hair and scalp immaculately clean, while the hair dries quickly, with a delightfully soft fluff and rich glossiness. The regular use of canthrox is the very beat health-insurance for scalp and hair of which I know. Read Mrs. Martyn's book "Beauty," f 5. Adv.

up curtains and had been grumbling all day. "You've got to have semething to make these holes." "Yes, I know.'.' admitted Helen. "I Intended to get a lktle gimlet but forgot it. Yom get downI'll try." Helen worked until her fingers aehed, but the screw made hardly more than am impression in the hard wood. Yet when Helen undertook a thing she rarely gave it up. And now she finally struck on the plan of driving a nail and then drawing it out, which left a holt and made it easy to start the screw. But it was a tedious process, and It was after four o'clock before the curtains were up on the three dining room windows. "Now. Delia, let's see if we can't get these shades on the lights in the front room. Those white globes are so glaring." "But we won't have time, ma'am. I ought to be seeln' about dinner." "Yes we will, if we hurry. I want to unpack that box anyway, and get

It out of the hall." AN IMPORTANT FEATURE. The proper shading of electric lights, Helen always considered most important. She had bought a number of rose colored globes for the other apartment, and now she was eager to put them up here. The fixtures were different, and they were hard to adjust, but Helen, who really loved to tinker with things, finally got them on. "There, now!" as she climbed down and touched the button by the door, flooding the room with a soft rose light. "Aren't they lovely? See how much better they make everything look? Oh, there's NOTHING that helps a room so much as the right kind of light! Now let's get this box out of here and you can go on with the dinner." They took out the wooden box in which the shades had been packed, and Delia went grumbling into the kitchen. j But Helen worked on, hurriedly getI ting things into place, trying to make ! everything as attractive as she could before Warren came. The men had not brought all the things in until late the night before and in the morning everything had been in hopeless disorder. Now almost everything was j unpacked and even the curtains were ' up. Surely Warrent would be sur1 prised that she should have done so much in one day. She turned on all the light so he would get the best effect the moment he entered, gave a last glance about and then hurried in to dress. If only she would have time to get into her new dinner gown! She told herself joyfully that he would expect tq find her tired and disheveled, with the apartment only half in order and packing boxes still strewn about. How surprised and pleased he would be to find everything to rights. And they would have a wonderful first evening in their new home! The hall door opened and closed. It was Warren. A few last hurried touches to her dress and hair and she i ran out happily to meet him. She had pictured him standing at the door of the front room looking around with pleased surprise. He might even say, "fine, Kitten!" which from him was the highest praise. BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT. But he was not at the door of the front room. He was not in the front room at all. She hurried through into ! the library. He was standing with j his hands in his pockets looking frowningly at his desk. "See, here, Helen, this won't do! Why on earth did you put the desk that way? Can't get any kind of a I light on it there. Here's the place for it," pointing to where the book case stood. "I didn't think of the light, dear, it looked so well there. But it. isn't heavy we can easily move it." "Yes, but you can't budge that book case now with all those books in it." "Delia and I can take them out and move it tomorrow," murmured Helen, Or weak blood governs for good or ill every part of the body. The ; medicine that makes weak blood j pure and strong Is HOOD'S !

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-hall before they are fifteen 1 We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do wo hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, bul you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria

causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of
