Readers in Cigar Factories.
From the Bookmah.


He is a singular figure this paid reader
found in virtually every one of the large
Havana cigar factories and many of the
smaller galeras. When an American cor
vana brands some time ago and housed 1t
in great new building at 10 Zulueta It
was decided that no reader would be per-
mitted to practice his calling in the gall
eras. Within a few months all the cigar
makers in this readerless factory became
mutinous and went upon a strike and as
soon as the difficulty was settled the read
ers were admitted. The factory at 10 Zu-
lucia now has three of them
ut keeps the tabaqueros quiet" explains
the Spanish foreman. The American SUI
perintendent adds that cigarmakers in
Cuba cannot talk unless they use their
hands. reading increases the output of
the plants. But the tabaquero works wholly
by the piece, SO that time wasted Is his
own loss. Reading is '.quieting," in that it
think about
The reader sits aloft in a small rallied
box resembling pulpit, placed at the CEN
ter of the workroom. SO that his voice may
carry to all parts of the galera. He reads
three hours daily. commonly in the after
noon. By long custom. half of this time
Is given up to newspapers. chiefly those of
Havana, though some readers of more than
average education read from American
papers, translating they go. The re-
naming hour and half is given up to
novels.

Boulevards and Parks.
ansas City Journal.


A notable change has come about In Kan
sas City in the last few years In the matter
of public improvements. especially in re-
gard TO bouevards and other municipal
betterments. The Kansas City spirit in
commercial enterprises has always run high
in fact it has almost become proverbll-
but In regard to municipal affairs the civic
sentiment was until recently dun and back
ward. The knockers were numerous ard
our unprogressyeness. municipality speak,
ing. was matter of just reproach
A doze years or so ago. when our park
and boulevard system was proposed, il was
bitterly opposed. indignation meetings were
held and gloomy prophecies were freely
made that the town was going to the dogs,
and that the poor man was to be taxed to
death in order that the idle rich might have
fine roads for their drives and pleasure
grounds In which to disport themselves.
This feeling was particularly strong against
boulevards. Delegations of indignant c:ti-
zens went to the city hall to voice their SOL
emn convictions that they would be ruined
II their properties were cut up to widen the
streets.
Now the situation Is quite the reverse
Our splendid park and boulevard system
Is practically completed, and its benefits
even from Il commercial standpoint are an
parent to everybody. 1t has been found
that the boulevards pay not only in The
larger sense, but in the fact that they
greatly enhance the value of abutting prop
critics And the other day, when a new
boulevard was suggested. the remarka BILE
spectacle was presented of rival bodies of
citizens appearing before the park board
clamoring for the selection of a route that
would take in their properties. 1t was a
strange and instructive sight TO the resi-
dents who remember the scenes of years
ago.

MAKE CORRECT LABELS.
Provision Of Great Service to People
Seeking Pure Foods.

From Ford's Public Opinion.
Let the label tell" This was the slogan
I raised some years ago at the st. Paul
convention of the National Association of
the State Dairy and Food Departments.
and the one that has been voiced ever since
by all the food officials who are opposed to
the misbranding of foods-a heinous Gus
tom that paves the way for most of the
other evils practiced by the food adulter-
ator. Let the label tell. and let it tell the
truth. Make it punishable offense for 1t
not to tell the truth, and when product
is labeled absolutely pure" let it be ''abso-
lutely pure"
What a blessing this would be to the
housewife? Anyhow. 1T would be great
convenience. Then, if she desired colorings
and preservatves in her food she could
select those that best agreed with her con-
stitution. Maybe she would find arsenic
healthful to her and her family, while she
would not care for wood alcohol, anilne
dyes. salcylic acid and formaldehyde, hav-
ing found them to be unhealthful in her
particular case Certainly it Is but just to
permit her to discriminate between these
ingredients. Should she in her home be
forced TO eat tabasco sauce when she de-
sired mayonnaise dressing? Should she be
forced to eat tabasco sauce when she de-
sired Worcestershire sauce? Certainly not
Then why should she be forced to imbibe
strychnne or aniiine dye or formaldehyde
1t is an unjust and arbitrary authority the
food manufacturer exercises.
A person might need muclage and gela-
tine some times. but when it comes to buy
ing mucilage and gela tine with a label cali
Ing 1t jelly, the consumer has a well
grounded protest the same he has when
he buys bone-dust for -four, glucose for
syrup or honey, or colored mineral acids
for soda water beverages. The purchaser
has a right to know what he is buying.
Than truthful labelling there could be no
other single provision of greater service
in securing pure food for the people of
America. This provision. however, is the
one above all others that stirs the food
manufacturers ire to frenzy when it is
mentioned. To keep hidden the contents OF
his food containers Is the one liberty he
cings to most tenaciously. He has come
openly out in print and said that law to
''let the label tell would be equivalent to
making him place the word poison on
many of his food packages. The manufac-
turer, in so saying. unconscously makes a
confession that ought to be more convinc-
Ing than the strongest argument yet put
forth by the pure food advocate But in
the food law that is to govern our nation
the use of all harmful preservatiVes and
coloringS should be prohibited entirely and
the label should tell exactly what kind Of
preservatives are contained in the food
