CHILDREN UNDERFED


Washington.-Th national child
health council states that at least
20 and, according to some estimates,
possibly 33 per cent of the nations
children are suffering from malnutri-
ton. This term is generally under
stood to mean general physical under
development, and is not confined to
any one class or race; in some cities it
is apparently as prevalent in the
homes of the well-to-do, as in those
of persons of more limited means. The
condition is evidenced not only by
weight and growth records, but also by
listlessness, lack of color, dullness,
and sometimes by restlessness and ir-
ritability.

Physical defects, faulty environ
ments, faulty food, and faulty health
habits are causes of malnutrition.
They include too little food, the wrong
kind of food, and bad food habits,
whether due to ignorance, poverty, or
lack of home discipline; and also faul-
ty posture in standing, sitting, or
walking, all of which interfere with
the normal functioning of important
organs of the body.

STATE COSSACK
SCHEME
For Ruling Illinois Exposed
By UniOnist

Chicago-The Illinois State Fed.
GRAFTON of Labor will not compromise
in its opposition to the state cossack
scheme, writes Victor A. Olander
secretary of the federation, in an
swer to@printed statements that the
Illinois Chamber of Commerce pre-
diets this compromise.
The trade unionist said that "the
attempt to convince citizens that there
is nothing involved in this question
except difference of opinion between
organized labor and certain organi-
cations of employers, is merely the
Tapping of the vampire wings by
which citizens may be lulled to sleep
and thus be easily victimized."
The cossack bill, said the unionist,
has been copied from the Pennsyl-
vania law, and that law, according to
its hackers, has been modelled upon
the Royal Irish constabulary, that eX-
listed prior to the Irish free state.
1t is we'll known that the Irish con-
stabulary was political force, said
Secretary Olander.
Attention is called to West Virginia
where it was found necessary to pass
law that the state cossacks could
not remain at or near polling places
at election time.
'In other words, it was recognized
that statewide highly centralized
control, which is part of any state
police system, carries with it the
power of political control over the
citizens"

Phoenix, Ariz.-Copper barons in

would permit inhabitants of houses

when they can force employees to leave
