ben declared by the Christian Scientists
OF South Dakota. who have their head
quarters in Sioux Falls, against a bill
which was recently introduced in the
state Legislature, and which is now pend

The Objectionable measure provides that
section 341 of the revised political code Of
the state be amended to read as follows:
Section Sal: Every parent of any child

band of any woman who wilfully omits
without lawful excuse 60 perform any
duty imposed upon him or them by law,
10 furnish necessary food, clothing, shell
ter or medical attendance for such child
or wife, shall or conviction thereof be
deemed guilty Of misdemeanor."
The Christian Scientists detect in this
bill an attempt to legislate against them
in the matter of caring for their sick. They
declare that the enactment OF the pro-
Posed Measure would be an invasion of
their constitutional rights, and would give
Il monopoly to the medical fraternity to
the exclusion of other methods of heal

An appeal accordingly has been sen
