CAUSE OF CHILD LABOR.

There will be general agreement
with the statement made by Mr.. Dan.
tei A. Polling, the noted Christian En-
deavor lecturer, that the cause for
child labor abuses is directly traceable
to the liquor trafic.
Drink" he says, has impaired or
cut of entirely the earning power Of
the natural provider: the father has
lost his job because of drink. But the
fact that the natural provider has lost
his Job does not at all indicate that
his children have lost their appetites.
Child laborers are working to feed
hungry stomachs, to clothe naked
bodies"
