Large Italian Families
Palazzolo dello Stella, Udine prov-
ince, Italy, with an average of more
than nine children, all Fascist, to every
family, claims to come closest to
Mussolini’s ideal of a prolific Italy.
Its population is about 2,800, divided
Into 4G8 families. Of these, three
have 10 children; one, 14; eight, 13;
eleven. 12.
The lesser tribes, says the St. Louis

with an even dozen; twenty-two with
11 offspring, and thirty-four with 10.

Tells Story
Nature controls nil
the functions of our
digestive organs ex-
cept one. We have
control over that, and
it’s the function that
causes the most trou-
ble.
See that your chil-
dren form regular bowel hubits, and
at the first sign of bad breath, coated
tongue, biliousness or constipation
give them a little California Fig
Syrup. It regulates the bowels and
stomach and gives these organs tone
and strength so they continue to acl
as Nature intends them to. It helps
build up and strengthen pale, listless,
underweight children. Children love
Its rich, fruity taste and It’s purely
vegetable, so you can give It as often
as your child’s appetite lags or he
seems feverish, cross or fretful.
Leading physicians have endorsed
it for 50 years, and its overwhelming
sales record of over four million bot-
tles a year shows how mothers depend
on It A Western mother. Mrs. It. W.
Stewart, 4112 Raritan St., Denver,
Colorado, says: “Raymond was ter-
ribly pulled down by constipation. He
cot weak, fretful and cross, had no
appetite or energy and food seemed
to sour In his stomach. California
Fig Syrup had him romping and piny-
ing again In Just a few days, and
soon he was back to normal weight,
looking better than he had looked In
months."
Protect your child from imitations
of California Fig Syrup. The mark

Overcrowded Lives One of the Greatest Menaces
to the American Home
By REV. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK^jJaptist), New York.
\K of our most important modern problems comes from the
fact that we have an outer world of multiplying complications
trying to crowd into a day that will not grow longer, and into
a capacity to pay attention that will not expand. In conse-
quence we are like subway trains in the rush hour. Open our doors even
a little and endless, pushing things crowd in until (lie space is jammed
und nothing more can enter.
As a result we live cluttered lives, frequently with lovely and excel-
lent things pushed out and things about which we do rot care entering.
This is the secret of failure in thousands of American homes, many going
to pieces because love and romance are crowded out.
The schedule, that tyrant of modern life that tells ns what we must
be doing every half hour for weeks ahpad, wrecks our homes, the hus-
band and wife having different schedules, and both forgetting to save
the situation by scheduling time with each other. Any man who is too
busy to schedule time with his family i« too busy.
Materialistic atheism and beastliness a?e two kinds of religion, but
most irreligious persons are neither atheistic nor beastly, and merely
have allowed their time and thought to he pre-engaged. Let the great
reverences stand at the center of life, and never let the jostling crowd of
things pull and haul you until you yourself become a mob.
Nation’s Business Standing By to Assist in
Stabilization of Agriculture
By WILLIAM BUTTERWORTJI, President U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
The throes of depression ia which some b/aneh of farming finds
itself are merely growing pains caused by the increasing efficiency and
magnitude of modern production. It is as much the concern of business
as to agriculture itself, that agriculture be prosperous. An awakening
to the fact that those dollars which come from the creation of agricul-
tural wealth are new dollars has established a new conception on the
part of business men, and they now regard it not only as an obligation,
but a golden opportunity to aid in enhancing the purchasing power of
these dollars.
Business, recognizing and subscribing to the principles of interde-
pendence of agriculture and other industry, has not been content to stop
ttmre. It has translated that recognition into action. Chambers of com-
merce and like organizations in all parts of the country are teaming with
farmers to strengthen agriculture, the basic American industry.
The tendency to write a ‘‘blanket prescription” for all agricultural
groups is the only issue I would take with so-called “farm relief,” for
the problems which affect the cranberry growers of New Jersey would
have little or no bearing on the problems of farmers growing wheat foi
export.
Something has happened to agriculture and to our manufacturers.
It is the working of a new industrial revolution. The truth is that many
uf the sore spots in American industry today are growing pains incident
to an almost unbelievable increase in the efficiency of production. Wf
cannot expect to progress as a nation without such growing pains.
Trial Engagements Among Remedies for the
Present High Divorce Rate
By DR BEN.TAMIN R. ANDREWS, Columbia University.
Trial engagements, instead of trial marriages, democracy in deal-
ing with the financial affairs of the family, a more exact appraisal of the
services rendered by the housewife and a scientific study of the causes
of family disruption are arn-ng remedies for the high divorce rate.
The American urban family is passing through a period of read-
justment and the remarkable fact is that in so great a majority of cases
it survives intact rather than it frequently is broken up in the divorce
court.
The months immediately preceding marriage are a crucial time,
when the couple should examine carefully the cost of living and their
assured income, at the same time laying out a financial program. If
they find that they can come to a perfect agreement on this they can look
ahead with more certainty to a successful arrangement of family affairs.
Every prospective bride should put her future husband to a simple test
which will afford her a picture of his character by saying unexpectedly:
“I think I’ll go on working after marriage.”
If he says enthusiastically, “Good for you,” she can be sure she’s
got a prize. If he says “Woman’s place is in the home” or “Think what
people will think about me,” she has uncovered a weakness in his char-
acter.
Organized Labor Making Substantial Progress
Toward Five-Day Working Week
By WILLIAM GREEN, President A. F. of L.
Substantial progress has been made towards achieving labor’s goal
of the five-day week and is a necessary accompaniment of the increasing
use of machines and mechanical power.
Five hundred and fourteen local unions report that their members
are now working a five-day 40-hour week, A total of 165,02!) members-
of organized labor have won this new advance in shorter working hours.
These gains, made almost entirely since tiie federation announced
its five-day week policy at the Detroit convention two years ago. prove
the establishment of the five-day week is both practicable and possible.
The federation will continue to work for further introduction of the
shorter work week in industries where the adjustment can be made.

The whole world, including (be oft-abused younger generation, is
growing better. The young people of today are much wider awake and
much more serious than they ever wore before. It seems ihe popular
tiling now is to condemn the younger generation, but I am not one of
those who (ind if a pleasant occupation. For mv part, I find them more
admirable than any young generation that has yet existed.
i have three sons, and it is no secret to me that they are better men
than I was when 1 was their age. In fact, it is a good world and getting
better every day.

TSCUISl'HIWAl'KKl, uu Indian
* name, meaning a highly salted hudy
«»t water, has been contracted to
Chesapeake, the name of that allur-
hit! Inland sea that cuts Virginia in
twain and almost bisects (be stale ot
Maryland.
No wider than a river at Its bend,
the Chesapeake broauens to u width
of 22 miles in the 11)5 miles to its Join-
ing with the sea. Its maximum depth Is
Km feet and gross urea about 5,000
square miles. It Is fed by some 50
tributaries, ranging from two to 100
miles in length, the chief one of which
Is the historic I’otonuic. These trib-
utaries harbor many quaint villages
of quiet charm that hold undent oo
lonial homes of rare beauty.
This romantic bay became known
to white men quite h.v accident In
1(507 when some passing vessels were
blown Into Its mouth. It figures prom-
inently In the development ot the sur-
rounding country, has a war record
of renown and is known for the un-
usual colorfulness of its sunsets.
The Chesapeake is a great sea-food
bin, producing more oysters than any
other body of water tn the world. Dur-
ing one year. Maryland and Virginia
which embrace It. produced oysters,
clams, crabs, terrapin and fish valued
at almost $14.0(10.000. It also is a
great wild fowl refuge, Its shelters be-
ing famed as habitats for myriads ot
the winged tribes. Again. It Is an out-
standing commercial utility, bearing
upon Its bosom great cargoes of the
world’s goods between Baltimore and
other world ports In both this anf
foreign lands.

Forty-Second Street
E'VERY large city has a street which
for one reason or another has
beer, smiled upon by fortune and en-
joys a national prominence. It nat-
urally follows that the larger the city
the more famous the street, ns a rule.
If Is running true to form, therefore,
when a street—Forty-sechnd—In our
metropolis, reached the importance
that if is advertised as “The World’3
Greatest Thoroughfare.”
And what a transformation It has
had! Only a few deendes hack, the
eastern portion of Forty-second was
dubbed “Shantytown.” It was one of
the most unsightly sections of the
city. But as “Uptown” New York re-
sponded to the urge of progress, Forty-
second developed into a grent, cross-
town truffle artery—from the East
river to the Hudson—and today the
former slovenly section of It has be-
come the most high toned and carries
the greatest buildings.
Only about two miles long, but ap-
proximately 100 feet wide, with ele-
vated railroads running over it, street
cars opern‘ing on it and subways bur-
rowing under it, Forty-second has be-
come such a necessary thoroughfare
that New York would be bard put to
get along without it.
It has been estimated that more
than 250,000 persons and upwards of
25.000 vehicles use it every twenty-
four hours; that probably 1,000 000
persons live within convenient walk-
ing distance and another million with-
in a few minutes ride.
Shops of every nature imaginable
line its sides, along with great ter-
minals, churches, theaters, loft and of-
fice buildings and monstrous hotels—
at one of which 10.000 people are
said to dine daily.

SPIRIN
To break a cold harmlessly and in a hurry try a Bayer Aspirin
tablet. And for headache. The action of Aspirin is very efficient,
too, in cases of neuralgia, neuritis, even rheumatism and lumbago!
And there’s no after effect; doctors give Aspirin to children—
often infants. Whenever there’s pain, think of Aspirin. The
genuine Bayer Aspirin has Bayer on the box and on every tablet
All druggists, with proven directions.

What Doctors Think
of the
Laxative Habit
in ail history, no Indian was ever
known to have constipation. Nor
need YOU. He chewed the bark of a
tree called cascara. Today, we have
the candy Cuscnret.
Cascarizing the bowels never forms
a laxative habit. If already formed,
an occasional Cascaret will usually
break the habit. For cascara strength-
ens the muscular walls of the bowels,
and their need of any aid at all
grows constantly less. What other
cathartic has tills characteristic?
Tile writer knows of none.
An evacuation brought gently about
by cascara will, nine times in ten, be
followed by full functioning of the
bowels on the morrow—and for days
after. For there Is no REACTION as
witii sickening salts, or any of the
man made purgatives Hint go through
one’s system like a bullet.
Physicians tell us cascara Is the
ideal laxative—and Hie tongue tells
Cascarets
They Work While You Sleep!
us candy Cascarets are its Ideaf
form. At least a million people know
this; what a pity there are any who
don’t! Especially parents; because
children love to take a Cascaret. Aft-
er which, for days-on-end, the bowels
will lie seen to work of their own
accord.
The only habit from cascara Is
that of regularity! Cascarets tone
and train the bowels. But at the first
sign of returning sluggishness an-
other Cascaret is as effective as the
first.
There isn’t a druggist who hasn’t
Cascarets, so WHY experiment with
laxatives?

such suffering.] “I [eel better now than I did

I now eat everything—no matter what it is.”
[You can imagine Mrs. Robb’s joy at
PE-RU-NA’S wonderful relief] **You don’t
have to have faith in PE-RU-NA—if you will
take it, it will surely relieve.” [Signed: Mrs.
Sally Robb, Hawesville, Kentucky.] [And it’s

and effectively. There is every reason in the
world why you should have it in your home
