CHILD LABOR A SERIOUS PROB
LEME f.9

Congress does not know how to cam
bat with the chiid tabor slavery which
is going on in our country.
AT the date of the last sensus the
the total number OF children between
the ages of 10 and Is years engaged
in gainful occupations was 1850, 17S
The mapority of these were employed
on the farms We do not see how that
can be avoided. 1t not to be avoided
unless the children are overworked.
for there is no such good starter for
a child as to do farm work
The cotton mills furnish employment
to children to greater extent than
any other manufacturing industry.
re total number of children en-
ployed in cotton mills s0.4 rer cent
were reported from the small areas.
New England reporting 9O.S and
North Carolina. South Carolina and
Georgia 1875 per cent.
1t comes down to question for the
states to settle. That was one OF the
anxieties of President Roosevelt wnen
he, but youth, was a member of the
New York legislature.
We think that every state should
pass law that in no manufacturing
establishment should any child be
worked to exceed eight hours per day.
and the law should carry a penalty of
fine, and if necessary, of imprisonment
to make its enforcement sure.
On the farms the hardships to child
rem are often severe, but they at least
have life in the open air, and plenty
of food for their lungs, while the man.
ufacturers are notorious, unless very
rich, for working boys and girls in
cramped and lily ventilated rooms,
and not infrequentIy with poor lights.
1t is hard question to handle but
every state in the Union ought to be
big enough and brave enough to COM
pei the right to children. It does not
matter much what comes to old fell
lows but the children should not be
handicapped with something which
may make them invalids so long as
they live.

WHAT ScIATICA is.


Sciatica often called sciatlc rheu-
matism, is in nearly every case the re-
suit of pressure on the sciatic nerve,
or on one of the nerve strands that
leave the lower part Of the spine to
form the great sciatic nerve. This
causes congestion of the sheath sur
rounding the nerve, resulting in severe
pain and muscular contraction with
apparent shortening of the affected
limb in severe cases. Curing the trou-
BILE therefore depends upon locating
and removing the pressure from the
nerve or nerve strands; and such pro-
cedure is to the skilled osteopath a
comparatively simple matter and is
accomplished by means of suitable
manipulations and adjustment of the
defective parts. Osteopathy has made
a good record in the treatment of this
stubborn disorders.
