The reason is plain--the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "Take for •Sample Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years end never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as jwiny of my customers testify.

If coffee disagrees drinks Postum >VV'S <1 court has declared unconstitutional two acts to that end passed by congress. The stage is all set for attempt No. 3, in the next congress. This time, a constitutional amendment in the foregoing form is the •elected method. In the closing days of the last congress Senator Shortridge of California, from the committee on the Judiciary, submitted a report on senate joint resolutions 200, 224, 232, 256 and 262, proposing an amendment to the Constitution conferring on con-egress power to legislate in respect to child labor, in favor of submitting to the legislatures of the. several states the following proposed amendment to the Constitution: "Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled (two-thirds of each house concurring therein). That the following article is pro* posed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution: « "Article. The congress shall have power, concurrent with that of the several states, to limit or prohibit the labor of persons under the age of eighteen years." 4 It appears that the several senate J|olnt resolutions were referred to a sub-committee consisting of Senetors Shortridge, Colt of Rhode Island and Walsh of Montana- liieir conclusions and recommendations are made a part of the report. The several Joint resolutions were Introduced by the following senators: 200, Senator Johnson of California; 224, Senator Townsend of Michigan; 232. Senator McConnick of Illinois; 256, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts; 262, Senator Walsh of Montana. There is the same basic idea In all as in the form recommended by the committee, with the exception of that of Senator Walsh which would declare the power of congress to regulate commerce among the several states to embrace the power to prohibit transportation in interstate commerce of commodities being the products of I any employer of child labor. It will be remembered that the act of September, 1916, "undertook to prohibit child labor by prohibiting transportation In interstate commerce of goods made in factories where child labor was used. The Supreme court held this act unconstitutional because it exceeds the constitutional authority of congress* Mr. Justice Day delivered the opinion of the court ancTTJBed the • following language: "In our view the necessary effect of this act is, by means of a prohibition against the movement in Interstate commerce of ordinary commercial commodities, to regulate the hours of labor of children in factories and mines within the states, a purely state authority. Thus the act in a twofold sense is repugnant to the Constitution. It not only transcends the authority delegated to congress over commerce, but also exerts a power as to a purely local matter to which the federal authority does not extend. The far-reaching result of upholding the act cannot be more plainly indicated than by pointing oat that if congress can thus regulate matters entrusted to local authority by prohibition of the movement of commodities in Interstate commerce, all freedom of commerce will be at an end and the power of the states over local matters may be eliminated, and thus our system of government be practically destroyed." The act of Feb. 24. lfilfl, undertook to prohibit child labor by imposing a tax of 10 per cent of the net profits of the year upon an employer using child labor. The Supreme court held It unconstitutional on the ground that "It is not a valid exercise by congress of its powers of taxation under United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8. but is an unconstitutional regulation by the use of the so-called tax as a penalty of the employment of child labor In the states, which, under United States Constitution, tenth amendment, to exclusively a state function.** The report of the committee contains the following exposition 6f the necessity for protecting the child life of the nation and explanation of the HILL PRAISE IT TO HIS DYING DAY Tanlac Put Him in Perfect Trim , After Years' Suffering.

HELD labor must go! Such seems to be the sentiment of the Ameri- ,U s can people, notwithstanding ther fact that the United States Suprem^^^^^ f^^he fonnflf tfce constitutional smettQ» adopted: '"Inasmuch as the congress has twice considered It necessary and wise to enact a law for the protection of the child life of our nation it would seem to be the mature and deliberate judgment of the people that such a law would be beneficial. We must assume that the congress considered that It had the power to enact such laws and thought it tor the welfare of the nation to exercise that power. But Inasmuch as the Supreme court of the United States, In Hammer v. Dagenhart and Bailey v. Drexel Furniture co. decided that the congress under the existing Constitution did not have that power, it is proposed to confer or delegate that power by way of a proposed amendment. "First. It cannot be questioned but that lt4ls a "paramount duty of government to guard and protect the welfare of its children to the end that they may have the utmost opportunity possible to attain the maximum development of their moral. Intellectual, and physical beings. This is manifestly the due of all children since they are brought into the world without their volition, entirely helpless and dependent. But this Is not alone simple Justice to childhood. It is also of the greatest Importance to every state that Its citizens should attain the highest development above indicated. And It may be observed that while under our dual system of government the power and duty to make adequate provision by law for the accomplishment of those most desirable ends are nbw vested in the several states, nevertheless It is as important to the national government as it is to the government of every state that its citizenry be afforded every opportunity for legitimate development, and that such development should neither be stunted nor destroyed. "Herein there lies the Justification for the go»- fllnment of the United States in asking of the states that upon it be conferred power concurrent with their own to legislate fipon this matter so vital to both. If the states shall have passed appropriate laws. It Is safe to say that any legislation of congress will march side by side with such laws. If a state has been unmindful of its duty, then such congressional legislation will work no Injury but ratWr a positive benefit to the state Itself as well as to the national government. "Hence your committee reports in favor of the Submission to the legislatures of the several states Of some form of constitutional amendment conferring power upon the congress to legislate upon the subject. "Second. What form shall that proposed amend- Ment bear? Unquestionably it shouid take the form of a grant of power, and unquestionably the limitations of that power should be precisely defined. Beyond peradventure It should contemplate the future as well as the present. Indisputably It should be a power concurrent with that of the. States, since its purpose Is not to deprive the states of any of their powers but only to confer Uke powers on the national government. "Still further. It will not be questioned but that that power should be given to control, regulate, or sren to prohibit the use of such labor In all cases -where the character of the labor Is dangerous in Itself or may become dangerous through the Inexperience or heedlessness of childhood; where In Itself or in its surroundings it Is detrimental to the physical or moral welfare of childhood, or where It is in character too onerous for the growing bodies of youth. Equally manifest is It that tar-all occupations where child labor Is permitted, legislative authority should have a determinative •olee as to the terms, times, conditions, and environment of Its use--such as day and night work, reasonable hours, dangerous machinery, hygienic conditions and the like. | "These are the fundamental considerations fwhlcb have controlled the action of this committee. It has given painstaking consideration to the varying phraseology of the five concurrent resolutions set forth herein above and to be found in part 1 of hearings; it has made extended re- {search into the legal and popular meanings of 'vurds whose use has been recommended, and it has decided to submit the following as the form Iof the proposed constitutional amendment, which [it approves: Freezing Eyeglaeees. Since optical glasses cannot be cut unless they are fixed in an immovable position, it has been the practice to glue them to iron frames of various sizes and shapes. Until a few years ago the plates of glass, when finished, were knocked off the frame by means of a light mallet, the blow being delivered cautiously upon the edges of the plates. Naturally enough, this was a delicate and dangerous bit of work, and unless perfomed by the most expert of workmen resulted, of course, in the injury of the Tens. But the discovery was made that the - blocks of crystal separated more readily when they had been exposed to a certain degree of cold. The result has been what might be called a revolution In £he making of special glasses. Aspirin Say "Bayer" and Insist! YA2VR The congress shall huve power concurrent with that of the several states to limit or prohibit labor of persons under the age of eighteen years." "A few words may be pertinent here to explain the reasons which Influenced the committee in the adoption of the particular form of verbiage in which the resolution Is cast. "The use of the words 'power,' 'concurred*' speaks for Itself. The amendment is not designef to deprive the states of any of their police poweri but only to have them confer on the national government the right to exercise similar powers. That In so doing they will not deprive themselves of any of their own powers may be taken as conclusively adjudicated by the Supreme court of the United " States in the'case of United States v. Lansa, decided December 11. 1922. "It seemed wise to adopt the word labor* In lien of the word 'employment.' The former word expresses precisely the matter of the proposed amendment. It is the use of the labor rather than the matter of Its employment which Is of direct concern, and to state it thus, avoids all possibility of the shufflings and evasions which might follow the adoption of the latter word. a. "An age limit Is declared. It unquestionably would have been simpler to have provided for the regulation and prohibition of the labor of children and to have stopped there. But your committee became convinced that In asking for this It might fall utterly. A marked difference of opinion was developed at the hearings before the sub-, committee, it being argued on the one hand that after eighteen years of age. girls and boys had passeu the period of dependency and were physically and mentally capable of fending for themselves. so that the power to protect them which was sought by the amendment could safely be limited to the indicated age; while, on the other hand, it was argued that many cases and classes merited protection after the age fixed, and that as the state's police power embraced the protection of. Its children during the period of their nonage anf up to the Instant of their majorities It was reasons able to ask that Identical police power be conferred on the national government. "Season Is found In both points of view.' But your committee finally concluded to Insert the eighteen-year llmltathm; because such limitation would certainly embrace the vast majority of case^ calling for protection and remedial legislatic%> while the exceptional cases calling for legislatloik^ after that age might arise in one state and not in unother. and therefore might safely be left t« the wisdom of each state. And, finally. In con* temptation of the opposition which almost certain' ly would arise should the word 'child' be used, and having In mind the common-law definition of the word 'child' and the many decisions of courts as to the legal meaning of that word. It was thonght expedient to ask for that which would; accomplish the greatest good while being sub- Ject to the least opposition. In order to remove all doubt as to the power to be delegated, it was thought wise to use the word "persons.' " A conference of "progressive" governors of both parties Is to be held this summer to agree on certain amendments to the Constitution. "Restriction of Child Labor" Is one subject certain to be Considered.
