Here ia clever trick Which may
10 performed With an ordinary dice
box and three dice. Place the dice
and ho, on q table and request one
Of the company TO throw the dice.
While be- l. DOING this you must
turn your back 60 ~ table % ihsi

what he throws. Tell him 20 re-.
member carefully how many spots
be- has thrown.
Then. nachirg back with YOUR
hand. bat without turning around,
pick up one Of the dice. turn up the
side which rested on the table. have
the number on that side added to
the number which the throwor male
IN his first throw Now tell huu TO
put the dice which YOU hold in your
hand into the box and throw Il
again and add that also to his count.
You now tdrn around. count the up.
pcrmo.t spots on the dice ~ they
iay. add seven and announce the
sum. which will exactly tally with
the count made by the person who
threw the dice.
Thi. seeming example Of second
sight may be clearly explained by
the following example: suppose the
first throw to consist Of 3. I and |,
altogether 10. Pick up the and
turn the bottom up, which is 3.
This makes the count -. This dice
is again thrown and turns up a 6,
making 10 in all. On turning
around YOU see on the table 5, ! and
G-that is, l9 spots. Add ; and the
result is also 10, the sought for
number. This trick depends upon
the very simple but little noted fact
that the two opposite sides of dice
always count seven.

BY NEWSPAPERS

II is an established custom that mes
sages of the president. public docu-
ments and various official announce
ments by officers OF national, state
and city governments are given as an
accommodation 10 the newspapers In
advance OF the date of publication.
In return for this courtesy, the
newspapers give a pledge OF honor not
TO publish such communications, In
whole or in part or In any guise, nor
to make public the import thereof, un-
til released" by the authority from
which they are received.
The violation OF this trust is regard
ed as the most reprehensible act 81
which a newspaper can be guilty. and
punishable by expulsion therefrom.
In accordance with this custom,
Gov. elect Higgins yesterday entrusted
TO the recognized representatives OF
the Providence News Democrat, Jour
nal and Tribune and the Pawtucket
Times the official announcement OF his
appointments for executive secretary
and members OF his STAFF; and from the
representatives OF each of these news
papers he received the customary
pledge OF honor that these appoint
ments should not be made public be-
fore the afternoon editions OF today.

tions OF today.

been given to Gov. -elect Higgins by

so. and in violation thereof the Provi-
dence Tribune yesterday afternoon, "a

hind an indefinite form OF statement.
This characteristic act was not un-

In similar violation OF it's pledge of
honor to Gov.-elect Higgins and its
further pledge 10 the representative OF
the Boston newspaper referred TO, the
Providence Journal this morning, in
advance OF the time set for release,
and in spite OF the protest OF its rep
resentative through whom its pledge
had been given, published an official
announcement OF the appointments and
the portraits OF the appointees
This paper heretofore has had n de-
served reputation for honorable deal
ing. both with public officials and with

which though relating TO the regular de-

Government by injunction is another
burning subject that is TO be discussed"
he said.
Mr.. Belmont said he hoped committees
will be appointed to investigate the saw

Citations. industrial insurance and old-age
pensions.
MIR. Belmont said that he was not sure
that President Roosevelt's proposition for
compulsory investigation of industrial dis

wisdom OF government interference. but
the greatest justification for such n pol

one former dealer Informed inspector
Scott that "only fools who are Wiling 10

as he was no fool. he gave IL up.
The wholesalers are now paying the
farmers from 81 10 43 cents for lO-quaf I
can OF milk, and charge storekeepers o
cents per quart, and householders cents
for milk measured out, ana cents tor
bottled milk.
profit OF from II 70 % cents per can on
milk sold TO storekeepers and considerably
more on the sale Of milk at retail
Mr. Scott has obtained the names or all
producers whose milk is sold In this city
and OF each OF them asked questions as
to the number of milch cows kept; daily
milk products, care Of cows, kind OF food
given and OF bedding used, whether brew
cry grains are fed, cleanliness OF nnlkers
storing, straining and cooling Of the milk
washing and airing OF utensils, character
OF water used, sanitary conditions, meth
DDS of shipment, price charged Tor milk,
etc.
Some Of the replies TO these Inquiries
are surprising, and show that unsanitary
conditions exist on nearly all the farms.
Mr. Scott will send a copy OF the milk
laws and literature relating TO the sub
ject 10 each of the producers, with the
rules they have violated underlined.
He undertook this crusade On account of
the fact that about 2l per cent, OF the
milk sold in this city could not be sold in
Boston and other places where the laws
are rigid. and he hopes to have the milk
here brought up to higher standard.
Many OF the producers whose milk Is
sold here have farms outside OF this state
much OF the milk being brought here a
distance Of nearly SO miles
While the inspector has no direct juris-
diction over these farms he can compel
the local dealers 10 buy milk only from
those whose farms are sanitary; and thus
he has an indirect control over them.
In his report 10 be presented TO the
board OF aldermen next month, Inspector
Scott will make several recommendations
including the adoption OF a rule that all
bottles and other utensils must be proper
~ washed before being refled by milk
men, and that no licenses be issued 20
men who refuse 10 comply with the law.

GOOD ADVICE

During the recent epidemic OF rabies.
many persons bitten have hastily applied
to the city health department office for
ADVICE. not knowing what TO do: and these
quotations from the article referred to are
worthy OF notice:
'IfRn animal has viciously bitten dogs

IL has rabies and may have transmitted
some OF the virus into the wound.

this: but encourage the bleeding.
"As soon as the bleeding ceases. the

ASKS RESTRICTION
OF CHILD LABOR

One OF the important bills 10 be urged
by the labor leaders OF this city and state
at the coming session OF the legislature
will be one aiming directly at the employ
ment OF child labor and of women In fac
tories.
The labor leaders have everywhere been
fighting for the reduction OF child labor
IN this country: and the bill or bills TO
be presented here are only step In the
general move OF organized labor through
out the country.
The extent 10 which child labor is em-
ployed I'm this state may be estimated
when n is stated that in the factories OF
Rhode Island there are now at work over
600 children under l6 years OF age.
This is In addition 10 the many thous-
ands employed in mercantile establish
ments. IN some OF which a large proper
ton of the employees are children under
the school age.
The legislative committee OF the state
branch OF the American Federation OF La
Dor will have In charge the work OF di-
recting the local campaign against child
labor.
Through the affiliated unions and all
