The house of tatives has approved of it, and the senate is quite likely to do so. The propaganda in favor of it has really been actuated, apparently, by splendid inspiration. Of course we must make it poseible to protect the children; of course they should not be allowed to Jabor at a time when such labor might Injure their health or morals for life.

Should the pare ents do it, of the state or the national government? Unfortunately it has been found that parents in some sec- tions do not consider sufficiently the welfare of the children. They allow them, generally, to work and to work hard. In 33 states night work by hildren under the age of 16 is pro- hibited, and 30 states forbid by law the employment of children more than 8 hours a But the cotton states and the states afy. where the beet industry flourishes do fot want to pass laws Hmiting child labor, and in other states the laws are not uniform. There scems no way to makes the siates nor the parents protect the children and so congress wants to do it.

It is quite easy, however, to burn Buckwheat in ordinary heating equipment, and thereby effect a great saving on fuel bills. As these small sizes of coal pack more closely than the larger sizes, they simply require more draft and a little more attention.
