Illinois school law targets truancy and child labor limits
A 1906 Illinois reform sets fines for parents who keep children 7 to 16 from schooling and bans employment of under 14 year olds while in session. It also endorses reporting violations, and shifts county asylum care to state hospitals for the incurably insane to cut costs and improve conditions. The piece notes rural mail carriers seek federal aid for horse feed and cites 1905 USGS data showing Illinois mining output surpassing California and Colorado. It discusses postage stamp licking as a health concern and mentions printing services and trucking office notes.

A rustic verse warns against talking back during quarrels and abuse. It suggests silence and calm as powerful responses, stating a loud mouth worsens conflicts and that restraint can outshine aggression. The snippet then shifts to a Cherryvale postmaster who sells general goods and touts Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a trusted product.
