HEALTH HINTS

More than nine.tenths Of all ez.
pectant mothers in the United States
receive no adequate prenatal care. In
particular this is true of the working
woman.
Many times through sheer necessity
she works until the last possible mo-
mept. For the sake Of herself and her
expected child no woman should work
after the seventh month Of pregnacy.
To do SO Is only to invite disaster to
both the health OF the woman and
child.
No woman, and particularly the wo.
man who is run down" or physically
weakened from overwork. should delay
having thorough medical examina.
ton after once becoming aware of the
fact that she is to become a mother.
This examination should include
measurements of the pelvis to make
certain that there are no unnatural OBJ
structions or bone formations. Such
early examinations permit steps to
remedy conditions before 1t is too late,
The woman who is taking care not
to oVerwork or over.exercise during
pregnacy should not go to the other ex.
IRENE. Light exercise to keep the mus
Giles in condition is necessary. Benefit
is derived from sitting quietly in the
open air in suitable weather.
The woman about to become moth
er should eat simple. well-cooked food.
She should eat little meat and no
spiced dishes and should avoid foods
that are generally known to be hard
TO digest. Especial care should be TAX
ell not to overeat.
If inclined to constipation she should
drink a glass of water before going to
bed and upon rising in the morning.
If this condition exists 1t is best to
eat plenty Of fresh fruits, vegetables,
oatmeal and brown bread
The home should be well ventilated
night and day. Clothing suitable to
the temperature and supported as
much as possible from the shoulders
should be worn during pregnacy. Good
care must be taken of the teeth or

TO PERMIT STRIKES.
Senate Reaffirms Privileges Granted BY
the Clayton Act.

Senate Reaffirms Privileges Granted by
the Clayton Act.
Through an amendment accepted by
the United States senate to the New
lands preferential shipping bill peace
able striking would be permitted in
wartime among railroad men. The
amendment, offered by Senator Hollis
of New Hampshire, reafirms the strike
privilege granted under the Clayton
act
''What right has the senate to say
men must work under conditions that
may be intolerable?" Senator Hollis de
manded. I'VE have the right to say
whether they shall be allowed to use
violence In asserting their rights, but
further than that we ought not attempt
to legislate a mans Job. Under the
terms Of this bill as 1t stands we would

AMERICAN CHEMISTS.
Some of Their Big Achievements In the
Industrial World.


Industrial World.
In chemistry. as in other practical
matters, Americans have had the wis
dom to direct their energies to the
special needs and opportunities of their
country. For instance, they have built
up the greatest sulphuric acid indus
try In the world. And they have given
80 much attention to sulphuric acid
simply because 1t Is a prime requisite
for our superphosphate fertilizers, our
petroleum refining, our explosives for
blasting and the numerous other sub
stances of which the United States IL
the leading producer.
Similarly American chemists orig
mated and developed the largest alu-
minum industry In the world, which
supplies us with that lightest of all met
ais In ever increasing quantities. They
built up from It's very inception the
largest calcium carbide industry, which
furnishes us that new chemical for
producing acetylene light and which,
mixed with oxygen, permits us to weld
| and cut metals by means OF burning
jet Of xyacetylene-an entirely new
way of cutting steel melting 1t like
butter, instead OF slowly cutting or
saving 1t by mechanical devices.
They built up the largest electrolytfc
soda industry, In which the powerful
eiectrolytic current decomposes common
kitchen salt and sets free that greeny
gas chlorine as we'll as caustic soda

Suspension of the Federal Child labor
Law Not to Be Considered

Suspension of tho Federal Child Labor
Law Not to Be Considered.
In recent editorial the New York
Tribune has the following to say:
"With some OF the contentious OF
Mr.. Samuel Gompers speaking for Or
ganized labor, the Tribune has been
unable to agree. but il takes the great
est pleasure in indorsing thoroughly
and completely his protest against the
proposed suspension of the federal
child labor law As he truly says, this
nation is not facing such an extremity
as to Justify this course. There is a
shortage of labor In certain skilled
trades and branches Of industry, but
nothing that children can directly sup
ply. AS the SeIective draft comes into
operation there viii be au accentuated
shortage Of male labor in many indus
tries But still this Will not be any
thing which children can make up di-
rectly, and assuredly it will not pro-
duce an extremity for which they
should be taken.
Labor shortage where it exists, viii
have to be attacked at first Ia q num-
ber of obvious ways. There viii be
curtailment Of passenger service on
the railroads and the elimination Of
parlor ear and dining car service. as
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford railroad has already announced
There will he substitution where pos

viii be overtime work within the lin
itations OF existing labor avs There
viii be curtailment Of the production
Of luxuries, from women's hats and
suits, according to fashions changes,
to iewelry and limousines, and the
workers engaged in fabricatiug these
dispensableS will be shifted to the
manufacture Of articles really ueces-
sary to the life Of the nation And
while all or any of these changes In
the Industrial world are possible, 1t Is
shortsighted, foolish, even wicked, to
talk OF taking children out OF school to
put them into mills and factories.
The children Of today are the ma
ton Of tomorrow This country has
entered the war that future genera
tions may enjoy without limitation or
curtailmeut the rights and privileges OF
democracy as america understands it.
1t would be u sorry mockery indeed of
the principle for which we tight II the
countrys children were to be hurried
into shop and foundry mill and quarry
deprived Of the opportunity to gain
sound minds and sound bodies, cheated
Of the protection by law which the
kindest and wisest sentiment Of the
land has demanded and obtained
That would be bad enough at the worst
as a last resort The country, fortu-
nately, is far from that 1t has re-
sources uncalculated industrial capa-
bilities scarcely dreamed OF, without
feeding its children into the machln-
cry. When all else has failed-if such
q time should ever comet would be
time to talk Of suspending the child
labor law. Undl then the whole pro
posal is grotesque, monstrous."

Fisk Is director, recently introduced a
daylight saving plan affecting seventy
five girl employees whereby they re-
ported at $50 a. m and worked till 4
p. m. instead of their former hours Of
8 a. N. to p. N. The usual hour for
lunch has been cut in half under the
new system, and with the additional
half hour each morning the actual
working time is the same. The innova-
tion was received by the girls with sat
