Commissions Created.

Unemployment received the atten-
ton OF a number of legislatures. Illi-
nois established commission on I'M
employment; California and Nevada
investigated unemployment condi-
lions and Idaho provided emergency
employment through county boards.
Public employment Offices were
established by California, Idaho,
Iowa. New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Illinois, Michigan and Oklahoma ex-
tended their public employment sys-
tens. Seven states provided for IL
censing and supervising private em-
ployment Offices.
Laws relating to the employment
of women were passed by number
of states. Arkansas and Kansas en-
acted minimum wage laws and Cali
fornia, Massachusetts and Washing
ton amended minimum wage laws al
ready in force. Eleven states now
have minimum wage legislation. Ar
kansas and Pennsylvania passed
child labor legislation during the
year.
In the field of safety provision the
most detailed enactments were those
formulated by the industrial COM
missions OF Wisconsin and the in.
dustrial boards OF New York and
Pennsylvania The seamen's act, the
Alaska and Arizona old age pension
laws and California's appointment
of ascommission to report on social
insurance were other important en-.
actments.

was settled just a year ago.
The cause of strikes and lockouts
were numerous. In total of 1,2OO
strikes 300 were for wage increases,
1873 for shorter working hours;
ninety because of wage cuts; sixty
because of discharge of union men;

Wage increases were greatest In
the metal trades. many OF which
we're stimulated by war orders. Cot
ton manufacturing was the only main
industry which did not grant sub
stantial increases. The metal trades,
too, claimed the greatest number Of
strikes during the year, though many

One benefit brought by the indus

wages was the effect on unemNroy-

than were employed year ago and
the car building and repairing indus
try has increased its forces by about
the same percentage. Manufactur-

Wage increases during the year
have ranged from flve to fifteen per

Diseases That Show

It matters not how little conf

mind readers, all of us by lifelong
practice are face-readers. A consid-

in their faces. Most of us have be-

tendencies. And we also read just as
well when the face indicates either
internal or external disease. The

the blood should be nourished, as well
as purified.
One of the striking changes in
modern medication is the way the use
of iron for blood troubles has de-
creased. 1t was discovered that iron
was not blood food. When people
are suffering from poisoned blood, or
impure or impoverished blood they
need remedy that will not only drive
out the impurities but that will nourish
the blood at the same tines. s. S.,
the standard blood purifier for so
years, is purely vegetable and will
