bad cause might be defended when
Hanna made his statement. Now no.
body knows what to do in order to
counterfeit its effect.
Anybody who watched the action
of the recent repu blican congress
could have no doubt on the matter.
The last congress held up all
antitrust legislation that came to
the surface, and it killed every piece
of labor legislation that came before
it. Still it is just as well to have
Hanna put the matter bluntly and
crudely.

Forcing Tribute to Coal rrust.

According to the report of the
Pennsylvania bureau of mines, only
$50 days of labor were permitted in
the anthracite coal trusts mines last
year. This fact is the key to the stu
alton. not only in the coal region, but
wherever a powerful trust has its
grip on the production of a necessity
of life. See how it works. The
trust. to prevent natural supply
that would enable all to buy at rea-
sonable prices, takes the tools from
the man who does the producing and
forces him to be Idle Until the con-
sumner, unable TO stand the forced adj
vance in prices, ceases to buy. even
though the article is such a necessity
as coal. The scheme is 10 reduce the
outlay for production until the pro.
duct reaches the highest price that
thu consumer can be bled for. Every
body is thus forced to pay tribute to
the trust.

The proper way to press embroid-
cry on linen is to lay the embroidery
face down on a clean cloth spread
over an ironing blanket, or two or
three thicknesses of flannel; place
thin, dampened cloth on the back of
the article to be pressed, and then
use a hot iron deftly op the wet sur
face until it is perfectly dry. A steam
ing process is thus engendered,
whereby the embroidered linen is
rendered smooth and the effective

M. Jules LeJeune, minister of
Justice, gives the following statistics
of the conditions of Belgium: Seventy
five per cent of all convictions in the
criminal courts come from the use of
alcohol. Seventy nine per cent Of
all paupers are drunkards. Eighty
per cent of all suicides have similar
origin. Forty five per cent of all
lunatics come from the excessive use
of alcohol. He concludes that the
drink problem is a very serious ques-
ton in the deterioration of the coun-
try. Yet, governments, national,
state, and municipal, make no at
