Anniversary Of the Supposed Appear
ance Of Virgin Mary.
Especial to The Free Press.

Mexico City. Dec. 1.-the city is
gaily decorated today and all work sls-
pended. 1t is Gualaloupe day, the most
sacred on the Mexican calendar. being
the anniversary of the supposed appear
ance of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego
in 1921. In brief the story is that the
Virgin appeared to this Aztec and in
structed him to have a church built on
the hill of Tepezac, now Guadalupe,
which church was, some years later,
erected through the initiative of Arch
bishop Iummuraga, the first Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Mexico. The Lady
of Guadalupe has always been regarded
as the patron saint of the Mexican In
dams, and. during the War of Indepenu
ence. her figure was carried on the flag
of MeXicC\by Hidalgo, and other revou-
tionary heroes as against the figure of
the Lady of Remedies. the Spanish
patroness. The veneration of the Indians
in this country, therefore, is enlivened
about the traditions as closely as is the
Spanish thought about the Virgin of
Covodoriga, who was credited with lib
Grating Spain from the MOOrs. No less
than 10000 Indians assembled in the
city today and made merry. The gov
ernmcnt however. keenly alive to the
abuses generally practiced among the
vast throng, has ordered that all Ii
censes for the sale of liquors today be
suspended and all gambling houses ana
cockpits closed

AIMED At TAVERNS
Travelling Men Prepare a
Regulation Bill.
DESIRE MORE PROTECTION.
Ask That inspectors Be Appointed to
Look Over Hotels Carefully and
Remedy Evils. 81

Members elect to the coming legisla.
ture are in receipt of copies of the new
hotel bill which has the backing of tray
cling men: The bill has been prepared
by the hotel legislation committee of
the United Commercial Travellers, of
which j. w. ', iliams is chairman. The
bill is intended as a substitute for the
hotel inspection act passed at the 800
session
The main provision OF the bill Is the
section providing for a large staff OF
hotel inspectors. 1t provides for the APP
pointment of hotel Inspector at a
salary of $1,000 and deputy for each
congressional district at salary of 800
per month, provided that the pay of the
deputy shall not exceed the amount of
fees collected. The bill provides for an
inspection fee of So for hotels of twenty
rooms. Besides the fees thus collected
the bill provides an appropriation of
$4,000 for the payment of the salaries
of the Inspector and deputies, for trav
cling expenses and for office expenses.
The appropriation and fees shall cofisti
tute the ''hotel inspection fund.-
The bill is similar to the 1905 law in
the provisions for fire escapes and SAM
tary regulations. In hotels more than
three stories it requires hall extending
from one end of the building to the 9th
er. and at each end of the hall an iron
fire escape. Every hotel of less than four
stories must provide a manila rope, with
knots and loops, for each room over the
first floor Elevators must be inclosed
with iron sheathing and have tight
doors to the shaftways.
Another section makes stringent pro-
visions for drainage and plumbing on
sanitary principles. Violation of the law
is punishable by fine of from $40 to
500, and each day the hotel runs in
violation of the act shall be considered
a separate offense. Inc inspectors are
to enforce the law and have police pow
er to enter the hotel at reasonable hours.
They must inspect every hotel once a
year.
The bill will no doubt meet with OPP
position in the state Legislature. Some of
the members say that the law will work
"a hardship on many hotels. The hallway
provision would require the reconstruc-
ton of many buildings, and some would
have trouble in installing the fire es-
capes. But the establishment of AN in
spection bureau will meet the greatest
opposition. The salaries alone will
amount to $l2,S00 year, and in addi-
ton to this would be considerable
amount for expenses.
Some legislators suggest making the
inspection of hotels part of the duties
of some of the present departments.
The labor department would be the most
logical because hotel inspection would
be similar to the factory inspections.
But the labor inspectors do not visit all
the small towns. The food inspectors
are supposed to visit each town at least
once a year. and if hotel inspection were
made part of their duties it would not
necessitate any additional travel.

Wonders Of a
Modern Factory
The Perfect Food Is Made In Abso-
lutte Cleanliness.

A visit to the greatest modern food
factory is a revelation to anyone not
familiar with the development of ma
chinery in recent years. Such a visit
verifies the claims of the manufacture
ers of Malta-Vita, that this perfect
whole-wheat food is cooked, steamed,
mixed, baked and packed in absolute
cleanliness.
Purity is the watchword of this
wonderful establishment From the
time the wheat is received in the fac
tory until the finished product is
shipped out to all parts of the world,
Malta-Vita is not soiled by human
hands. Machinery, clean, shining ma
chinery conveys the wheat through all
the long process, even to the packing
and sealing of the alright, germ
proof. dirt proof packages.
After the wheat has been thoroughly
cooked and steamed it is mixed with
pure barley malt extract and each
grain of the matted wheat is rolled
into wafer-like flake. Then it goes
to the great ovens where, under in
tense heat, it is. baked crisp and brown
Vita, the most delicious. the
most healthful food in the world.
Malta,Vita is always ready to eat.
No cooking. No Inconvenience And
you never tasted anything quite so
good. All grocers, now 10 cents.

Traits Of Norway's Queen,

In sketch of the new queen of
Norway it is said that she is probably
the slimmeSt woman in her dominion.
Her waist measures but II inches and
she is so ethereal In appearance that
even in England, where the cult of
thinness has as worshipers practical
ly all the women of the kingdom and
most of the men, she is called rather
too frail and delicate in appearance.
Queen Maud was the tomboy member
of King Edwards family. She was
the baby Of the family and its bright
est member as we'll. 1t was she who
first nicllnamed her brother, the late
duke Of Clarence, Collars and Cuffs,
a name which chung TO him through
life. She called her eldest sister, the
duchess Of Fife. now called the prfn-
cess royal, her royal shyness, on ac-
count of that retiring lady's almost
morbid dislike of appearing In public.
And 1t was this merry princess who
collected ali the quoted sayings and
doings of the royal family In scrap
book and labeled it Things We Never
Did or Said"

Some Cures for Insomnia.

There are several common sense
ways of obtaining sleep, says the
Worlds Work. One of them Is the
application of cold wet cloths to the
back of the head and neck This
treatment will not be followed by a
reaction if it Is continued for num-
Der of minutes, and it often works
surprisingly well.
Another way of solving the prob
lem is to soak the feet In a hot bath
until the veins become dilated with
blood or the whole body up to the
hips may be given q hot soak. With
some people, a two or three minute
hip bath Is the most effective rem
edy. Others find help In a few slow
exercises, which do not jar or excite
the system but simply bring some IA
tigue to the big muscles of the trunk
and limbs Friction of the skin. es-
pecially of the lower part Of the body,
is another means.

Unnecessary Fear Of Lightning.

There is something so intangible
about the bolt from the clouds that the
reasoning faculties of certain people
seem to be suspended during thunder
storms. They shrink from the mys-
terious power even though it may be
shown that more people die from the
bite of the common house cat than
from lightning. Such has been the case
in the past. Another reason for the
common fear of lightning is our un-
familiarity with 1t. If thunder storms
happened every day of the year we
should probably lose our fears. Tuber-
culosfs kills more men than war and
we do not spend the millions for fight
ing it that we do in preparing coast
defenses and erecting great navies.
People do not like to go to war be-
cause they may get killed, but they run
risks just as great in insanitary condi-
tions at home to which they give no
thought.
