The Cause of Many Hog Ailments.

Hog dyspepsia is the forerunner of
many hog ailments. 1t throws the
system out of condition and hastens
the disease. The dyspeptic hog is an
unthrifty one, he is always hungry,
continually eating, if he has an oppor.
tunity, but the food does him no good,
as it is only partly digested. He actu-
ally seems to dwindle in size, instead
of to grow, and becomes ''pot-bellied. -
He is uncomfortable himself and rem.
ders his companions as much SO as ne
possibly can. The cause of dyspepsia
is overfeeding or rather irregular
feeding, allowing the hog to become
very hungry and then gorge himself.
When the internal machine of the hog
is once thrown out of gear, like any
other machinery, if continued TO run
out of gear. will rapidly grow worse.
The preventives are better than cures.
Keep the hogs we'll supplied with char
coal, wood ashes, salt and lime to keep
them well toned up. If they are suffer
ing from the disease, reduce the food
to very ligh. diet, give plenty of char.
coal, and watch the condition closely,
and by regulating the feed they can be
gradually brought up again. .--Colman's

poor condition of affairs which to read
ers in country towns will seem almost
Incredible.
In a tumble-down cottage in one of
the most miserable parts of the city the
committee discovered n little girl,
eleven years of age, Ida Harris by
name. who was engaged in sewing but
tons on the finest class of trousers.
Working with her in the filthy room
were six men and six women. The
little girl was required to toll from
seven o'clock in the morning until nine
at night in order to earn two dollars
per week She considered herself pret-
ty well off, however, and stated that
she was doing much better than most
girls, who receive but six cents for sew
ing on dozen buttons, whereas she
was paid ten cents for the same work.
The men In the same shop earn from
S. to SO week, and the women and
older girls from SO to S4.
Another woman seen by the commit
tee, one Josie FredericlSa, was pants
finisher. She and her mother occupied
a small, dark back room. Josie earns
| rs cents week and her mother $3.50.
They eat, sleep and work in the one
room whose dimensions are Ia by 20 feet.
Two little children just beginning to
walk were also taught to consider this
place home.
These poor toilers make the goods
sold by the leading stores OF the city.
They do not receive their work from
the large firms directly, however, but
are engaged by middlemen, commonly
known as sweaters" who take the
lions share of the contract price of the
work. A Sweater" will make an ar.

ments for a certain sum. Instead OF
being satisfied with small profit, an6
paying fair wages to his employees, he
will grind them down until absolute
necessity compels them to work fol
anything he may be inclined to pay.
That women cannot sustain theil
self-respect under such trying circum
stances is evident, and the only wonder
is that the moral atmosphere of the
neighborhoods where these unfortunate
workers live is not more offensive.
The time was when tailors earned
fair wages in Chicago, but since womer
have been found to do the work at al
most any price they are no longer EN-
! ployed by clothing manufacturers ex
cept for the finest grade of goods. Al
effort was made some years ago to or
ganize trades union among the female
workers in clothing shops, but the ven
ture proved unsuccessful. For some
reason women have not yet learned te

ton to housework and thus relieve the
pressure. The only argument advanced
against this theory is that for every
woman who leaves the ranks of the
toilers two arrive in the city to take the
vacant place. Large cities seem to
have fascination for country girls who
think that the noise and glitter of the
downtown streets will make life con-
tinual pleasure. BY the time they realize
their mistake, they are broken down in
health; their energy is gone and they
are as helpless as the slaves born and
bred in the city.
Pinched, hungry-looking faces every
where. Nothing to relieve the disheart-
ening monotony. Such is an outline OF
the sweaters districts" of Chicago.
Would that the thousands of young
women who are ambitious to live in
this city could be induced to look upon
the dark side of the picture, and much
misery might be avcrted.
"Ten women for every place, no mat
ter how poor it may be-" is the plain,
yet eloquent, statement of an official
who has made the question of female
labor a special hobby. "Hundreds OF
girls wreck their future every year
and destroy their health in the stuffy,
| illy-ventilated stores and shops of Chi
cago. And yet scores of recruits arrive
from the country towns every week tc
assume the places vacated by these vic.
Tins of greed"
Women who arc so anxious to secure
bargains never give thought to the
sad fact that every cloak and JACKIE,
and every piece Of underclothing they
buy has in all probability been satu
rated with the tears of the six or seven
women engaged in the manufacture OF
the article Neither do they pity the
poor girl who sells the goods. They
are after "bargain," and usually they
get it; but, alas, at the expense Of mem
bers of their own Sex whom stern ne
cessity compels to labor for IL pittance
II has been suggested that shoppers
boycott all stores employing sweaters
and underpaid salesgirls. The move
ment might be productive Of some
good, but after carefully examining

existence becomes fercer and woman
has to enter the labor market to pro-
vide the means for her subsistence.
Twenty years ago female labor was no
factor in the manufacturing interests OF
the west. To-day tens of thousands OF
girls are compelled to earn livelihood
in the shops and stores of our cities and
villages.
The result Of her competition has
been n general reduction of wages in oc-
cupations enormously called ''genteel,"
such as Office work, selling goods in
stores and bookkeeping Employers
know from experience that a woman
will take smaller wages than man, and
consequently they pay her mere frac-
ton of what they gave her male prede.
cessor. The wage-earners of America
have never seriously objected to female
competition. Their criticism has al.
ways been directed against woman's
weakness in consentiug to rate herself
lower than man by accepting less re-
muneration for performing similar du-
ties. The objection is well founded. If
awoman does the same amount of work
she is entitled to the same pay as her
brother or father, and if she accepts less
she is guilty of depriving a home.
maker of his position and income No
young man can to-day afford to engage
in stenography or typewriting or in
selling dry goods and similar merchan.
disc. Women have monopolized these
two callings, and wages have been re.
duced fully 100 per cent.
The reason is obvious Scores of
girls employed in the large stores OF
Chicago live at home. They work
merely to secure spending money.
-Four or six dollars week is all the
pay they ask; and other girls who are
dependent on their wages for living
are compelled to accept the same pay.
In years gone by men received for the
same class of work from Sl2 to S1S per
week. The system which encourages
such state of affairs is bad and will
eventually reduce women to the posi-
tion they now occupy in Europe. Home
making has already become secondary
consideration. The ever-growing de-
mand for the luxuries of life will keer
the ranks of female workers supplied
from class which should withdraw
from the field altogether. The prepos

Saleswomen in cities who have no
other income than their salary are
among the most unfortunate victims of
the present state of affairs. They do not
