The strike at the Zicglcr coal mines,
in Franklin county, ILL.,, which has
been going on since last July, is
growing daily more serious. State
troops have been sent there on the re-
QUESTION of the Sheriff, and reign
of lawlcssncss is said to exist. The
Mine owncs lay it to the striking union
miners, and the latter place the blame
on the mine owners, who they say
have instigatcd or are responsible for
the disorders in order to create sit
uation that would give them an excuse
to ask for the militia to guard their
works ut the States expense and save
the $500 a day which they have been
paying to hired guards.

the glass, the presence of sort of impurity or
adulteration is indicated usually terra alba and
while the aduteration may not be exactly harmful,
the child is not taking pure sweets into the stomach
Since we are told that it is not the candy but the
adulteraton that is injurious it is well to have at
hand a simple means for determining whether one
is eating pure sugar, with harmless havoring, or
some one or more of the many ingenious adutera-
tons which are sold under the name of candy in
these days.

EASY HPURE FOOD
TESTS FOR THE
HOME KITCHEN

ME question of pure food is in which
every intelligent woman is interested now
adays.
She reads with horror the account Of
the workingnans lunch which, when the test was
applied resolved itself into little heap chemicals
and baked potato.
She shudders in secret-and resolves to preserve
all her own supplies during the coming summer,
when the lniquies of inferior timed goods laid
bare.
As a general thing however. her interest is not
practical one It is apt to end here
She never thinks of doing a little pure food cru
sadlng on her own account in the home kitchen.
In reality the purity of many everyday edibles
can be ascertained with the least Imaginable ex-
penditure Of time It is worth trying, and here are
the several tests:
A test for coffee: When purchasing coffee, gather
little of it in the palm Of the hand, after it has
been ground, and press firmly; if it falls loosely
apart when the hand is opened, the coffee is unadu
terated but when the particles adhere the fact that
it cakes denotes the presence of some substance
other than coffee.
simple method of determining whether one has
purchased butter oeomargarine, is to put little
of each in two small tins and heat over gas burner
The oleomargarine will boil while the butter will
bubble up and burn. Good butter has a sweet fresh
