A PRACTICAL ICE HOUSE.

Assuming that there is still prospect for
an ice crop throughout the country the
plan here suggested for a small but COM
plete ice house will be found not only
useful but decidedly q reliable guido to
builders. Tho manner of construction is
as follows: Figure 4 in the illustration
shows tina part Of the wall extending two
feet undo the ground and Is composed Of
loose stones ahmed into a trench. The
top Of the wall, figure 8, is built one foot

Edif0ri0I Comment.
The Senatorial Situation.

Several gentlemen have signified a
desire to be hit by senatorial lightning as
successor to Senator Alger, but during
the last two months very little has been
said openly on the subject, and il any of
the candidates are doing any organizing
it is done without noise.
Lately the rumor has gained ground
that Senator Alger has regained his
health and that he will be a candidate
for re. election by the next legislature,
while another story yesterday says that
he is still a sick man and will not go be-
yond his term. One state politician said
on Monday that if Senator Alger decided
to make the effort for another term there
would be no opposition, but this state
ment is likely to be subject TO revision.
1t is reasonably safe to guess that there
will be opposition, and that at least one
of the aspirants to the honor isn't going
to lay down in any event. At least
close friend of Arthur Hill of Saginaw,
is authority for the assertion and he is
in position to know. There isn't any
doubt that at the proper moment the
aggressive candidacy of Mr.. Hill will be
Launched regardless of any other as.
pirant for the honor. Mr.. Hill is re-
sourceful, and has not only intellectual
and political attachments but the financial
condition to put up strong fight
The other gentlemen who would like
to occupy the seat now held by Senator
Alger will do wisely in discounting any
rumors that Mr.. Hill is going to let the
game take to cover.
No matter who else takes up the con-
test, it is clnch that Arthur Hill will
be in it from start to finish. The Tribune,
mind you, isn't saying that he will land
the prize, but the other candidates who
let the grass vegetate under their pedal
appendages in the expectation that it
isn't going to be much of cyclone will
get their understanding badly joIted
latrr on.-Bay City Tribune

Dundee is the only port in the Brit
ish isles that owns whaleships. To-
ward the end of the century before
last nearly all the east-coast ports had
whalers of their own. London had
thirty-four ships. The falling off of
the industry is due chiefly to the
scarcity of right" whales; but the
turning point of the decay was taken
when coal gas was discovered and
there was fall in the importance OF
oils as illuminants. But each season
Dundee sends her whaling fleet to the

What wOmens clubs Can Do.

Miss Alice Lakey, one of the committee
on pure food appointed by the general
confederation of women clubs, has been
making an Investigation and reports that
the amount expended in this country for
adulterated food and drugs ranges from
100000 S75OOO0OOO annually, an
appalling but smaller sum than the male
experts and the government estimate.
Iron filings, sawdust, sand, wood alcohol,
charred matter, olive stones, husks, bark,
are some of the ingredients she reports
as discovered in foods A baking powder
analysed 10y the New York health de-
partment contained 30 per cent of pull
verified rock, and in almost every case
where food samples have been analysed
they have been found to contain harmful
constituents or preservaties.
In taking up this matter the women's
clubs have entered field which is pecu-
liarly within their province. The wife
and mother is particularly interested in
the health of her family, and this mat
ter of food adulteratino is one of great
Importance. The adulteration of drugs is
of even greater Importance, as often it
may be matter of life and death.
Many of the states have laws regulat-
ing the sale Of impure and adulterated
products, but to efficiently deal with the
matter a national law is necessary. The
Interstate traffic in foods which have
been harmfully adulterated should be
prohibited altogether, and those in which
the qualifications are noninjurious should
be properly labeled, so that the purchaser
may know exactly what he is getting.
These propositions are 50 clearly right
that one would hardly think that anyone
would dare oppose legislation to give
them effect. They are opposed, however,
and by powerful interests, interests so
powerful that all attempts at national
legislation have heretofore been defeated
The womens clubs can, if they choose,
play an important part in this pure food
campaign. While the women do not vote,
they exercise a power which is greater
aud more effective 10 such matters as
this than that Of an equal number of
voters. 1t is a matter which ought to
appeal to them with peculiar force, and
as the question is now very soon to come
up at Washington they should at once
organize for action.-Grand Rapids
