If your child is under eleven-be, careful what laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa tive-a child's laxative.
For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause him griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine,
But such things need not be. For there is one laxa- tive that is perfect for children... Castoria! Castoria is made especially for children-from babyhood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con fidence, Castoria is gentle-yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" taste!
In more than 5,000,000 American homes, mothers give their children Castoria for consti- pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach
and the first symptoms of a cold.
Get a bottle of Castoria today. Be ready for the little upsets that come to every child. Give Castoria -the laxa tive that is made especially for children.

NOT ACT
New York, Apr. 1. A NEW form of boot- legging has grown up
in America. The authorities] are afraid to act, for they know that if they do there will be riots.
to
Fourteen thousand destitute coal miners help themselves five million tons of hard coal every year and receive £7,000.000 for it.
The mine owners in North East- ern Pennsylvania were indirectly responsible for starting what has been described as "the worst out- break of lawlessness since the Civil War." Now they can't stop it.
MINES REOPENED
Six years ago, in those dark days of the depression, the owners allow- ed their discharged employees to mine coal for their own use.
The miners begun to acll it. News of the movement spread. Mines which had been closed were re-opened, and the bootleg coal was taken to neighbouring States and sold at ten shillings a ton under the legal price.
Owners dismantled thei machinery, but the men installed petrol engines from old motor. cars and used back axles of "flivvers" to wind the pit cages| up and down.
Mine owners are urging the civic; authorities to take action, but there is great popular sympathy with the
men.
RETORT TO THREATS Governor George H. Earlo, of Pennsylvania, has flatly refused to do anything about it,
'Bootleg coal has brought some semblance of prosperity to Ameri- en's anthracite towns, where the miners are earning an average of El a day.
Threats of prosecution have met with the retort that the miners, if necessary, will use violence to protect the only means of livelihood they know.

Convicts Play Poker, Take Drugs, In Jail
many
Joliet (Illinois), Apr. 1. SENSATIONAL disclosures showing that convicts dressed how they pleased, played poker for large stakes, and obtained drugs, have been made by the commission investigating the murder of Richard Loeb in the prison at Joliet,
Loeb, condemned to life imprisonment for the "murder for a thrill" crime twelve years ago, was stabbed to death by one of the other prisoners, James Day.
Members of the commission report that before the appoint-i ment of a new governor a few months ago, the "prisoners ran the prison."
Convicts played poker with as much as £320 on the table. The warders, who had been bribed, looked the other way. As much as £3,000 circulated in the prison at one time. Favoured convicts wore white shirts and flannel trousers in the summer.
Drugs were obtained at 59. a shot while the convicts made alcohol from sugar they took from the prison kitchens. This was sold at 5a. á pint.-United Preas.
