South Carolina Official Sees
Practical Elimination as Re-
suit Of U. S. Law.
MAKES DENIAL OF CHARGES
Asserts Act Is Not Deliberately
Violated by Operators or
Owners.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 3.-The en-.
actment of the Federal child labor
law will practically eliminate child
labor from the cotton mills OF South
Carolina, according to the report of
George ID. Brown, state supervisor of
mill schools, to the State superin-
tendent OF education.
The enactment of this law, declares
Brown, has added much to the posi-
bilities OF the mill children. The re-
port goes on to say:
No Open Violations.
Tho mill operatives are not mis-
treated and the child labor law 10
not openly and deliberately violated.
as many politicians and presses
would have you believe.
This oftrepeated statement II not
true, for three reasons: First, mill
operatives would not stand for Il;
second, the mill officials are humane;
third, the mill managers are wise,
knowing that the most profitable
work Is that given by the most
above sixteen years OF age.
EVERY hope IL entertained that
children under sixteen years Of age,
affected by the above laws. will ind
a profitable place In school. with
OF age In the mill schools, IL will be
possible in the near future to add
manual training and domestic science
to the course OF study In these
schools.
Interested In Child.
"The mill man In interested In his
child and his home conditions. The
mill people are not different from
other people of the State. They are
citizens, they have pride, they have
honor, they have aspirations, they
have all the hne qualities OF any reo-
Pile. They have an occupation which
In distinctive, but that occupation
maintains our chief manufacturing
industry. Il Is not destructive OF hu.
man life and energy.
1.-THE mill school has great oppor-
tunity to teach the child to emulate
tho admirable traits OF the mill opor-
alive, TO know that cotton mill labor
In honorable and that his hand and
brain should be trained through the
channel of n school to better MI the
place In the mill which will be made
vacant by his father"

CANCER RoENTGEN RAYS.

DR.. Francis l. Satterlee. Jr.. Of

He is about to undergo his third op-

writer. It was customary to test
the rays by exposing the hand OF the
operator. Like hundreds of other
physicians, Dr. Satterlee adopted this

455.O0O,O00 pounds-a goodly
amount of food sent to our friends
across the seas. But last year We
sent exactly 1.3S9.OOO.OO0 pounds or
nearly three times as much. Fresh
beef alone jumped from 100000
pounds in 1914 to 100000 pounds
last year.
But the report is still more start
ling when the two years prior 10 the
war are considered. Since the war
started we have sent abroad % times
as much meat as we sent during a
similar period before the war be-
gan, for the exports in 1914 were
abnormally large.
The warning nations must have
meat at any price. and the packers
of course know it. The packers are
unduestionably securing better
prices than we have to pay in this
country. But by receiving these bet
ter prices abroad. they are draining
this country and boosting prices

abroad as is possible. In other
words. IL they can get 20 cents a

The farmer is profiting to some
extent through the increased price
of meat in Europe, but he is not
getting all Of the benefit TO which
ne is entitled. Great as is the price
of live stock upon the farm, there
is a greater difference between the
amount received by the producer
and the amount paid by the con-
sumner than ever before. If the far
mer received nearer the price paid
by the consumer it would not work
such a hardship in this country for
the farmer would then have the
more money TO spend in local mar
kets for other things. But the truth
is the farmer, when he pays the
increased cost OF everything he him
self must buy. isn't profiting as
greatly as many suppose.

touching human nature is that al

people wish TO be fatter. il not fat.
Margaretta explains this tendency
asst relates 10 women. She says all
the clothes for women are designed
over thin models, and that all styles
are for slender women: that fat
women may adopt them and look
absurd, or adapt them and look fat.
IL Is obvious that thin people may
pad out the vacancies If necessary,
and that fat people can't UNPAID. so

your fifth glass; eat a hearty supper
early, followed by your sixth glass
Of milk. Go 10 bed early and just
before you tumble in drink your
seventh glass of milk.
If you wake up at night. have
glass of milk at your bedside. and
gulp it down. Should you be dis
turbed by a bad dream, wake up
and shake off the sense of oppres-
sion with a milk shake.
Maybe you think you couldn't
swallow this much milk daily but
that is a mistake. Men have been
known TO drink the same quantity Of
booze daily and 20 survive much
longer than their service 10 human
ity.
Finally. hurry never rest much,
strain never; laugh at every oppor-
tunity. and remember that the world
