MOVEMENT TO BETTER CONDITION OF CHILDREN A striking develupment in the movement to obtain better conditions for children is described in the pam- phlet just issued by the Children’s Bureau of the U. S. Department of . Labor, entitled, ‘“‘State Commissions for the Study and Revision of Child Welfare Laws.” It is 9 years, acording to this pam- phlet, since Ohio appointed the first 9 commission to study conditions sur- rounding children in the State and ‘to codify and revise the laws relating ‘to children. Since that time 16 other states and the District of Columbia ‘have officially recognized the import- ance of this work by appointing sim- Ilar commissions, and altogether al- gomost two-thirds of the states have 7 now taken some definite action to- »#® wards studying legislation as it af- " Zfects children. In almost every state where such ‘commissions have been appointed a careful study of conditions in the state and of remedies that have prov- ed successtul in other states has pre- -ceded suggestion for new legislation or for the revision of existing laws, thus avoiding the danger of hasty and ill-considered action. At the same time a carefully planned educa- tional campaign has been carried on to explain the child-welfare needs of the state and the purpose and scope of the proposed legislation. The subjects covered include the safeguarding of healtli, school at- tendance, regulation of employment, protection against exploitation or corruption of morals, special provi- sion and training of dependent and neglected children, methods of deal- ing with delinquent ~children and state supervision 'of agencies and in- stitutions. E The pamphlet gives a summary of organization and plans of work for each of the-states in which commis- sions have been appointedr and an outline for an index of existing leg- islation affecting child-welfare. It contains also a list of reports and ar- ticles relating to the work of the va- rious commissions and a list of com- pilations and summaries of laws af- fecting children, VAUDEVILLE BOOKED FOR MINNESOTA STATE FAIR - St. Paul, Aug. 23.—The best vau- devile ever booked has been arranged . for the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 4 to 11, according to.Ralph Rhoades, superintendent of amusements who has spared no expense in lining up the cream of the vaudeville and circus world for the big, free open air enter- tainment in front of the grand stand. SAGE TEA KEEPS YOUR HAIR DARK When Mixed With Sulphur It Brings Back Its Beautiful Lustre at Once Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appear- ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications &t Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so natur- ally and evenly. You moisten a - sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an- other application or two, its natural . color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.

C. Harris has announced that a copy of the War Department’s official battle area map will be forwarded to each of the 9,600 local posts of the Le- gion, which are situated in every com- munity in the United States and in ninteen insular possessions and for- eign countries. “The map will be of great value as an aid to determining eligibility for battle awards in the issue of the Victory medal,” writes the Adjutant General in the letter to Franklin D.Olier, national commander of the Legion. “This office also is pleased Lo state that since the arrival at mut- ual understanding concerning the responsibilities of the American Le- gion and the recruiting service the matter of distribution of Victory medals has been progressing nicely. Notwithstanding the improvement in the situation noted by the adjutant general there still is a good deal of misunderstanding on the part of vet- erans as to the steps necessary to pro- cure their medals and the arrange- ments under way for the formal pre- sentation of medals which will take place on Nov. 11. There are two means by which ex- service men may apply for their dec- orations. The easiest method is to apply to any post of the American Legion. The War Department has authorized post commanders to draw official application forms. These forms can be executed at post head- quarters. Legion officials will for- ward them to the proper sources. The other way to get a medal is to apply at any recruiting station. There is only one way which a vet- eran may share in the formal presen- tation ceremonies, the arrangements for which are in entire charge of the local Legion officials in each commun- ity. Unless otherwise specified all medals applied for thru Legion chan- nels will be delivered to the Legion post of the veterans choice and re- tained there until Armistice Day when the formal presentation will be held simultaneously .thruout the country. Veterans who apply for their medals thru the recruiting ser- vice will receive them by mail at their ‘homes. If they desire to par- ticipate in the Armistice day cere- monies they should deposit their medals with a Legion post. The Legion makes no distinction between members and non-members in the Victory medal distribution. By the terms of the agreement with the War Department all ex-service men may apply for their decorations thru legion channels and participate in the Armistice Day celebrations under Legion auspices. Special ar- rangements are being made to get medals to gold-star mothers and oth- er-next of kin who are privileged to receive the decoration of men who died in the scervice. i TOO LATE Death only a matter of short time, Don’t wait until pains and aches become incurable diseases.

Whenever you want to see this proven out, you have only to watch how they come to good tires, when they are given an opportunity to get at them. What some dealers seem to overlook are the reasons which have led most of the small car owners to buy their cars. In building tires for the small car, the United States Rubber Company ex- ercises as much cere, as much thought, as much supervision, as if they were in- tended to go on the most expensive cars in the country. : Devoting an entire factory to their manufacture.
