-' - V TAX CHILD LABOR GOODS 10 PER GENT VMII1HIB 4- .1 f 1 TV I W2 flfTI TTTt 1TTOQ O V . A . J a. fa a in Simmons and Overman Both. Oppose ; Measure In Not for ReTenae But To Take Place of Defunct Child ' Labor Law. : "Washington, Dec. 18. Adoption of a - committee amendment imposing a 10 per cent tax on profits from child la bor products entering interstate com merce, was the only action by the sen ate on the war revenue bill today. The t Tote on the amendment was 50 to 12 wjjth democrats casting all the nega tive votes . Debate on this contested provision and two hours' unexpected discussion' of other subjects delayed the progress of the bill, but leaders still hope for its passage by next Monday. Tomorrow the senate plans to take tip the amendment for a repeal next January 1 of the existing zone system j of second-class postage rates and sub- i stitution of a modified zone system. j fThe child labor amendment, drafted j jointly by Senators Pomerene of, Ohio, ; Lenroot of Wisconsin, and Kenyon of Iowa, is designed to replace the child labor law declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Senators Hard wick of Georgia, and Overman of Sorth Carolina led the fight on it and n the roll call these senators voted against the adoption: Bankh,ead of Al abama, Beckham of Kentucky, Hard- wick of Georgia, Martin of Kentucky, Overman of North Carolina, Pollock j 5f South Carolina; Simmons of North j Carolnna, Smith of Georgia. Smith of j South Carolina, Thomas of Colorado, t Underwood of Alabama, and Williams of Mississippi. The amendment whrcn. will go to conference when the senate passes the revenue bill, is said to have the presi dent's approval. Constitutional ques tions principally were raised by sena- j tors speaKing against tne amenamem. They, also declared that its primary purpose is not to raise revenue, but to meet the decision of the supreme court in holding the former child la bor act unconstitutional. Advocates of the legislation, includ ing .Jits author, declared congress had the right to use its raxing power to deal with other subjects and confident ly predicted amendment would be sus tained by the supreme court. As retained in the bill, the amend ment imposes the 10 per cent tax on profits from products entering inter state commerce from mines and quar ries employing children under 16 years of age and from mills, factories and similar industrial establishments em ploying 'children under 14 years or those between 14 and 1G years for more than eight hours daily. An amendment to the postal zone section of the revenue bill, was intro duced today by Senator McKellar of Tennessee. It provides for a zone sys tem with the committee's provision for a rate of 1 cent a pound for the first 150 miles retained. In lieu of the rate of 1 1-2 cents beyond that limit the amendment provides for a graduated increase in rates, the max imum being six cents a pound for second-class mail matter sent 1,800 miles or more.

Pale Faced Women Take Phosphates to Make Rosy Cheeks and Beautiful Forms. Men Need, Phosphates to Make Strong, Healthy, Yigorous Bodies. Athletes Increase Their Strength, Energy and Endurance 200 Pet. Or More by Simply Taking a few Weeks' Treatment of Argo-Phosphate. Atlanta, Ga. Dr. F. A.

''The lack of Phosphates is the cause of all anemic conditions and the adminis tration of 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tab lets will increase . the strength-and en durance of weak, nervous, care worn men and women 300 per cent, in two or -three weeks' time In-many instances, arid their continued use will build-up the whole nervous system, and give new life, vim, vigor and vitality to the , whole body.

The big new bill inaugurated ' at matinee yesterday will be on again today and tonight at the Royal. It's a whale of a show for the money, with some outstanding features that places it in a class distinctly above all others that have been seen here recently. Al.

It seems that the people are more than ever interested in the official gov ernment war pictures being shown at the Bijou, since the armistice went into effect.

An appeal for punishment of the masked men who lynched a discharged negro soldier at Hickman, Ky., on Monday, for resist ing arrest and beating a sheriff, Juas been telegraphed to Governor Stanley of Kentucky by the National associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced here tonight. "If such atrocities are possible in future, the ends for which this war was fought will have been defeated," said the telegram. . by, it is a sign of anemia. When, the phosphates go from the blood, the pink cheeks go tpo. The muscles lack tone. They become nervous, irritable, de spondent, melancholy, the brain fags, and the memory fails. Therefore if you wish to preserve your youthful vim, vigor and vitality, to a ripe old age, you must supply the deficiency of Phos phates lacking in your food by using Argo-Phosphate, the form of Phos phates most easily assimilated. NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate which is recommended and prescribed, by phpsi cians.in all anemic cases, is not a secret or patent medicine, but one. that is sold and recommended by well known drug gists everywhere, and physicians are daily prescribing the constituents con tained in it. Being entirely unlike many other Phosphates, it is easily as similated and will be found effective in the treatment of Indigestion and stom ach troubles, as well as for care worn, nervous conditions. The manufacturers of Argo-Phosnhate will' forfeit to any charitable institution $200.00 if they cannot treat any. man' or woman under 65 who lacks Phosphates,..and Increase their strength and endurance from, 100 per cent, to 300 .per cent.

Today the latest issue of the Allied pfficial War Review will be on the bill, and it contains some of the most, stupendous war scenes ever photo graphed. The photographers who take these pictures are official government cameramen right with the army, and go where no private photographer could gain admission to go. They are surprisingly realistic . and in many places beloved relatives have been seen and recognized in them. If you went to - the Bijou Tuesday and saw "Madame Spinx" you saw a wonderful picture and were surprised that the Bijou could put on such fea ture productions at- such low prices.

New York critics who saw this pic ture in pre-view have commented favorably on this sensational innova tion, and Miss Phillips is hajy over the fact that her theory has been par tially proven., on the screen at least. "The Mortgaged Wife" shows Miss Phillips in an entirely different sort of a role from her past releases, and promises to add greatly to the pres tige ,she already enjoys in the world of films. CONDUCT OF HUNS IS GOOD ALONG THE RHINE Lart Sunday They Exhibited Only Cari osity Toward Americans Children Make Love to Soldiers; Coblenz, Dec. 18. Throughout the sector held by the Americans the men have settled down to what may be weeks of occupation. Ems and Nassau are two important towns which have fallen to the French who were sent .into the American sec tor, but Neuvied, a. big industrial cen ter and all the other towns in the northern half of the sector are held by the Americans. The Americans have promulgated no drastic rules to govern civil life and in every way have endeavored to make the inhabitants feel that they will not be molested so long as they do not interfere vwith, the military. On this first Sunday the results of this policy were shown. While the people of Coblenz are. somewhat re sentful in their attitude the citizens of the smaller towns evinced none of this hostility. Dressed in their Sunday clothes the Germans attended church service and appeared surprised to find among the congregations in some of the places a few of the enlisted men. . In the afternoon the children in the villages made love frankly to any of the soldiers- who would permit it, clambered over the trucks and de manded theirtturn' to snuggle into the seats on the guns in the artillery parks. And they were unreproVed by their parents, who smiled, their toler ance. The older among the then' and women not only made no objection to billeilngs as , did "many in Coblenz and Treves, but, frequently showed a de sire to make the men feel at home. Wherever bands were in action the people crowded the street corners to listen to the music, instead of hurry ing to their homes," a situation that did not exist when the invasion of German territory was begun two weeks ago. Applications for leave of absence are already largely on the. increase but.it is notable that the men are' not ask ings for permission to visit distant points, but merely to make excursions into the picturesque Rhine regjons, where almost every ivalley is , guarded by. the ruins qt a medieval- castle.

A. safe at Ippe court, France. They give the only clue to one of the unfinished romances of the war. Each is addressed and ready for mailing to a' girl back in America. Each contains a diamond ring and more than a thousand francs. They will have 'to lie in that Red Triangle safe until the last casualty lists are publish ed, for they were turned over to the "Y" secretary in trust by two young officers just a day or two before the fighting ceased. "Say, doc," said the spokesman, "We want to leave these with you in case well, you know. In the morning we're going after Heinie again. If we don't come back, send these things to the addresses on them." They haven't come back yet, but the 'Y" man is not sure. Rings diamond rings should be messengers of joy to American girls, not harbingers of tragedy. So the "Y" man is keeping the rings until the officers turn up or until the last casualty lists their tale of supreme sacrifice. tell The inventors of the famous toilet water called Cologne, from the city of that name, were Paul Feminis and Ma- TTia Clementine, a nun. They began on a small scale, with few persons em ployed, who mthey did not initiate, into the secrets of the whole process, the last and most important mixture being made- by the inventors themselves. Paul Feminis left the secret with the Farina family, while the nun bequeath ed 'the secret to one Peter Schaeben, who had been her assistant for many years. WHAT ABOUT YOUR INCOME?
