Walking Delegates Seek to Start
a General Strike Among Ice
Cutters on all Lakes
FIGHT HARD FOR LAB0RERS
General Strike at This Time Deemed
Advisable Because of Short Season
and Ice Companies may be
Forced to Grant Demands

There is new peril for the ice men
OF the country as the walking dele
gates Of the Chicago ice cutters
union have started to work and a
general strike Of all the men en-
ployed on the lakes in counties along
the north shore is being threatened.
For some time the men have seemed
| to be dissatisfied. The season has
been the most unusual known in
many years and the men have been
laying about the ice houses for weeks
with nothing to do. However, the
ice companies have kept the boarding
houses open and the menehave been
| Ted aud housed IN order to keep them
IN readiness to cut the ice when it
came. The wages that arebeing paid
this year are the same as last year,
but It is claimed that the leaders Of
the ice cutters, discovering that there
IS danger of shortage in ice if it is
not Cut at the present time, have de-
clded to go out on strike. 100 men
struck at one of the houses at Round
Lake on Friday, and the gospel of
strike is being carried to other lakes
as rapidly as possible.
More than seven hundred men re
now employed on the different i kGa
in kenosha county and it is prob bile
that strike at this time would ON
pletely cripple the industry. In kh
past two days every available MAJ
has been hurried to the lakes an( some
Of the companies have been making
efforts to organize crews so as to per-
NIT day and night work. Should a
strike break out it is thought that all
of the menswou1d join in it.
AT Round Lake the Armour Co., in
charge Of the big ice house where the
strike occurred, refused to grant the
demands of the men and they immedi-
ately left the lake and came overainto
this county to secure work. The men
were replaced by men from Chicago,
but it was impossible to secure men
to take the places of all the men who
left and the work at Round Lake is
being badly handicapped. Thus far
no strike has been reported at any Of
the Kenosha lakes.
The lastsstrike among the ice mer
in this county occurred four years
ago when all of the men employed al
the houses at Powers Lake quit on .
demand for higher wages. Fears 81
violence forced the employers to ask
for posse of deputy sheriffs to guard
the property Of the company. After
three days the managers gave in an6
the men went back to work on com.
promise scale.
It is alleged that the losses of the
companies have been SO great during
the early cutting season that should
they be forced to meet a demand fol
higher wages the price of ice would
be boosted next summer so that i
would be a luxury.

ORIGINALITY IN HATS.
The Charm of Lace, Old or New
New PIumage Fad.

The Charm Of Lace, Old or Neyv-A
New PIumage Fad.
Charming lingerie hats owe their
beauty partially to the exquisite bits
of old lace displayed on either the
brims or crowns. The hat illustrated
has crown of white tulle plaitings
edged with real Yalenciennes, and a
ruf1e Of old valenciennes lace, in the
deep cream that age alore can give,
falls over brim of malines folds. A
mauve feather forms part Of tie TRIM
ming, and pansies are massed on the
back bardeau.
A hat in which modern lace is used
is made OF two ruff|es, up and down,
and of princess lace, with a black vel
vet ribbon tied in smart little bow at
the left of the crown, keeping the lace
ruffies upright. The top of the crown
Is formed by medallion of duchess
lace mounted over gold cloth shot with
pink, and under the ruff1es across the
back bandeau are peoples in the same
pinkish gold. Between the lace ruff1es
are single plaitings of white tulle,
WHICH gives d greater transparency 10
the lace, and at side and back is a
third lace brim ruffle.

Romans Artificial Leg.

The Oldest artificial leg in existence

College of Surgeons of England. II
was found in tomb at Capua and is
described in the catalogue as follows
Roman artificial leg; the artificial
limb accurately represents the form OF
leg; it is made with pieces of thiG
bronze, fastened by bronze nails to a
wooden core Two iron bars, having
holes at their free ends, are attached
to the upper extremity of the bronze
quardrilateral piece of iron, found
near the position Of the foot, is thought
to have given strength to it. There is
no trace of the foot, and the wooden
core had nearly crumbled away. That
skeleton had it's waist surrounded by
belt of sheet bronze edged with
small rivets, probably used to faster
a leather lining. Three painted vases

the feet of the skeleton. The vases
belong to an advanced period in the de

keep the patient on a liquid diet"
were the doctors words to the nurse
day after day until both nurse and pa
tient were sadly discouraged, but just
as the time came when the temperature
was normal and permission was given
to try the first solid food the liquid diet
had so improved under careful expert
ments that it was no longer tiresome or
monotonOus, SO out Of her necessity the
nurse grew skillful and resourceful and
mayhap able to help another sister in
like need.
Cruel Transformed.
The physician had ordered 'gruels
and broth, no milk" What could be
done when these were the very things
least liked at any time?
We attacked the cruel first, says a
writer in Table Talk in answer to this
question. 1t was oatmeal. When the
tray was ready, with the fresh dolly
and a few fresh blossoms laid in q
wreath around the dainty bowl and
plate, the patient could not find any
suspicion Of the foundation material in
the delicate, creamy liquid seasoned to
taste with salt and spoonful of
whipped cream floating on top. But
half cupful of everyday oatmeal had
been cooked in a quart Of boiling water
and boiled in a double boiler six hours;
then it was strained and set on ice TO
be used as wanted This formed a jelly.
A couple Of tablespoonfuls were taken
out at a time, warmed and seasoned
with salt, then thinned to the right con-
sistency by adding cream and a little
hot water.
Beef Tea.
'Beef tea" became different matter
when made with scientific care from
that usual "nerveless and vaporous liq-
uid" called beef tea. Now its fragrance
was only equaled by it's flavor, which
made the steaming hot, amber colored
liquid a treat for the patient
In the first place. only the best Of
beef can make the best Of beef tea.

round Of heavy" beef, Do not chop
this, but rather cut it into cubes, re-
moving every piece of fat, Pack close

Of space at the, top, and fit on the top
and rubber. Set the jar In a deep ket-
tie Of cold water and cover the kettle
tightly, After it comes to a boil let the
water boil three or four hours. Set aside
until the water is cold and then place
the jar just as it is on ice until needed.

tracted juice and dilute with twice as

Process of Dcnaturixing Alcohol.

In Germany, where 30,000,o0o gal
Ions of denaturized alcohol are used
each year, the great bulk Of this i'm
mcnse quantity is made from potatoes.
All grains or vegetables containing
starch or sugar are suitable FOR the
manufacture of alcohol The process
of manufacture is so simple that 1t can
be carried on by every farmer. Alco-
hoi is made from the fermentation OF
starches and sugars. thin paste Is
made from molasses, finely ground
corn or potatoes and a small quantity
of malt or other agent containing dias-
tase is added The mixture Is allowed
to stand until the diatase. which is
the fermcnt formed in the termination
of barley, has transformed the starch
into grape sugar or glucose. Yeast Is
then added and the temperature main
tanned from 70 to So degrees F'ahren-
heit The glucose under the influence
Of the yeast, ferments, and alcohol
which is compound of carbon, hydro
gen and oxygen, is one of the chief
products. The next step III the pro-
cess Is to distil the alcohol. which, be-
ing more volatile than water, distills
rapidly. The product can be brought
to whatever degree of purity is de-
sired by redistribution and BY treating
it with caustic lime. the effect of
which is to remove all water inter-
mixed with the alcohol.
Decentralization is accomplished by
mixing with the spirit small proper
ton of some foreign substance, which
while not injuring its efficiency for
technical purposes, renders 1t unit for
consumption as a beverage. The de-
naturzing substance employed depends
on the use to which the alcohol Is to
be subsequently put. The denaturiz-
ing ingredients, according to the terms
of the new statute, must be applied in
the presence of government official.
The broad sandy plains of north
ern and central Germany says
writer in the Scientific American, land
in fact every agricultural district of
the empire, produce in the ordinary
years cheap and abundant crops of
potatoes from which is easily manu-
featured by processes so simple as to
be within the capacity of eNery farmer
IL vast quantity of raw alcohol. The
crude molasses left as refuse prod
uct of the raw beet sugar manufacture
contains from 10 to so per cent of SUI
gar which cannot be crystalized and
this can also be utilized as a material
for the production of alcohol"
Theoretically" says the same writer,
alcohol has only three-fifths of the
thermal value of petroleum, but 1t
has been found that for motor pur.
poses. % per cent of the theoretic en-
erGy OF alcohol can be utilized against
maximum of Is per cent in case Of
petroleum and it's products"
