Jones ater: y his Lire ring ¢ his 7 PRE The Sins Of the Children By COSMO HAMILTON Author of “The Blindness of Virtue” “The Sins of the Children” is a novel of American family life, illustrating the dangers to young people that come from a lack of knowledge of sex truths. Mr. Hamilton has handled a difficult theme fearlessly but delicately, and a more charm- ing love story than that of big, honest Peter Guthrie and Betty Townsend has not been told in a long time. While its candor will be condemned by a few, people conversant with modem thought and literature will praise it without reservation, and it will cause many to ask themselves “ Have I done my duty by my children?” A BOOK WITH A BIG MESSAGE FOR EVERY PARENT AT ALL BOOKSELLERS $1.40 NET Little, Brown & Company Publishers Boston In the Millennium “ALY gracious, how cheap everything is getting!” “T understand there hasn't been a case of divorce in the last ten years.” “T think our national stability is great- ly due to the patriotic spirit of our Con- gress, don't you?" “Aren't these modest fashions just too cute for anything? I'm so glad they will stay that way.” “It certainly is a pleasure to pick up a newspaper these days—always good news and plenty of it. “Brown tells me his wife disobeyed him yesterday. Did you ever hear any- thing like it? “Yes, dear, I have to use my car all I'm a poor man, but, thank Heaven, ill have the courts!" No, child, there won't be any more wars—the rulers of the world are all good men.” “How foolish we women were to clamor for the vote, when all we wanted was the millennium!" “Dear me, what a horrible nightmare Thad last night! I dreamed I was living in the year 1916!" Edmund J. Kiefer. That Sympathetic Strike EW YORK has just been treated to a great big sympathetic strike that didn’t come off. All the unions composing the Federation of Labor were going to strike out of sympathy for the striking traction workers. But they didn’t, and anyone who has kept a close watch on the general sympathy market could have predicted that the strike would be non-forthcoming. This is not a sympathetic age. We are too busy during the day, and too tired when night comes, to be sympathetic. The intentions of the Federation of Labor were of the best, but there was against them a triple armor-plated, reinforced concrete environment that simply wouldn't sympathize. Why not try to get up an unsympathetic strike some day? It would have much better prospects of success. When Physician Meant “Physic —Dispenser” N Shakespeare's time if you were sick and went toa doctor he did one of two things. He either bled you or “physicked"® you, Physictans no longer practice bleeding. And the leaders of the profession are equally opposed to the indiscrim- inate use of laxative and cathartic drugs. In fact the habitual use of laxatives is now known to be one of the most fruitful causes of constipation, Physicians of the highest standing prescribe Nujol be- cause it relieves constipation without any bad after effects and without forming a habit. It acts in effect as an in- ternal Jubricant, preventing the bowel contents from hardening, andin this way facilitating normal movements. + All druggists carry Nujol, Avoid substitutes, Write today for booklet, “The Rational Treatment of Constipation” using cou- pon below.
