Owl Claws Boy.

Moorhead-A big white owl was re-
sponsible for the severe injury of
Sen-year-old boy named Crume yester.
cay afternoon.
The boy was playing in the streets
near his home, carrying the big bird
IN his arm. Suddenly it fastened it's
long sharp claws on his wrist, the tai
ons entering nearly to the bone. The
little fellow screamed with pain, but
held tightly onto the other leg of the
bird, fearing that it would grip him
with the other claw.
Oscar Cederberg heard the boys
screams and hurried to his assistance,
wringing the owls neck. He then
with great difficulty succeeded in
loosening the claws Of the dead bird
from the boys arm, the blood squirting
from the wounds in stream. The
doctor says the boy will recover unless
blood poisoning supervenes, :,

No Drinks on Holidays.

The saloons will be put out of
business on Memorial day, Thanks
giving day and Christmas day if a
bill introduced in the house by Mr..
Sterling, of Fayette, becomes a
law. 1t provides that any person
who shall, with or without license,
furnish by sale. gift or otherwise,
any liquor to others on the days
indicated, shall be guilty OF mis-
demeanor and fined not less than
$50 or more than $500 and undergo
an imprisonment of not less than
twenty nor more than ninety days.
In the COLUMBIAN of December
27th we called attention to the fact
that the court has no power to
make an order that drinking places
shall be closed on Christmas or any
other day not excepted by law, and
urged the passage of an act provid-
ing that bars shall be closed on
Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas. We are glad to see
that such bill las been int oduced
IN the legislature, and hope it may
become law.

The Need of a National Child Labor
Law.

That child labor evil cannot be
left to the States to remedy is one
Of the important points brought out
in Senator Beveridge's defense Of
his bill to create national child
labor law as outlined by the senator
in comprehensive article appear
ing in the February number of the
Woman'S Home Companion. Sena-
tor Beveridge adds:
"The first thing we see on study
ing the child labor question is that
this evil cannot be lett to the States
to remedy. OF course there is not
the slightest reason in the world
why it should be left to the States
to remedy; but we started out one
hundred and twenty-five years ago
with the notion that each State was
little nation and that this artificial
thing called a state had certain
rights. AT that tine the idea of
this being a Nation, a people living
III one land, and flying one flag had
not thoroughly developed. There
were many great men in our con.
stitutional convention who saw this
clearly; but there were a lot of
little men who wanted to be big
men, and could he big men only in
the narrow borders of their colon
les, not icing great enough for the
country as a whole. These men
insist on the theory of the sover-
eighty of the State. These little
men had the votes, and that is how
it has happened that we started out
the way we did. I am talking
bluntly in order to tell the fact
and this is the plain fact, crude
though it be.
This child labor is not State
affair. 1t is national affair. The
practical reasons why the States
cannot deal with it is, first of all,
because they will not deal with it {;
and second, because they would not
deal with it adequately. In the
sections OF the country where this
civic pestilepce RACES in greatest
fury. the States will not act. They
will not act because the great manu-
featuring or mining interests are SO
powerful in those States that they
control or at least decisively influ-
ence the legislatures of those States.
So that in these States no effective
law can be passed. If a model bill
is proposed in any of those States,
it is killed or, what is good deal
worse than killed, it is mutilated.
That is to say, a child labor law is
passed which the people are led to
believe will end the evil, but which
has been SO cunningly changed that
it permits the evil to 60 on. Thus
! the people are fooled and the prac-
tise is not stopped"

FLOORS NOT TO BE OILED.
Aquid Drags Dirt into Stained
Wood-Wax hest for Polish.

Wood-Wax Best for Polish.
A floor oiled is a floor spoiled, de-
elares a man whose business II is to
care for parquetry and stained
wood. and whose word fs therefore
- be relied upon.
Too many women go in for oiling
any sort OF wood which has been
r,'ned and vanished don't in
the least mind telling them they are
ell wrong
In moving into new apartment
Il is sometimes thought advisable to
stain the floors. II these have not
already been subjected to such
Treatment the process is begun by
thorough scrubbing with soda dis
solved in hot water, or with any one
Of the washing powders usually en-.
ployed for such purposes. When
the floor has dried thoroughly, the
next step is the staining. Stains of
the desired colors can be had from
any paint shop, and are sometimes
better than mixed and manufact-
ured stains.
Oak or walnut is oftenest used,
tie former being made lighter by
adding turpentine to the mixture. II
4 very dark oak stain Is wished the
dealer will supply 1t.
No filler is required for the floor.
Amateurs do not succeed we'll with
hllers, and they had best let well
enough alone. Putty is sometimes
used as a filler. but II any crevices
and any specially wide places are
visible, it will be found to serve
very nicely. After the stain has dried
n may be shellacked or waxed.
The former finish is better unless
one Is housewife built upon New
England lines, ready to have the
waxing attended to with stated reg
ularity and more than ordinary
use of "elbow grease"
Wax Is the best OF all floor poll
ishes. 1t may be used, and is in
deed best used without having first
applied varnish, simply being
rubbed over the stained surface.
Prepared wax is put up In cans and
looks like pomatum olive polish. Il
is applied In Just the same way
that is, smeared over the floor sur.
face, allowed to dry slightly and
then polished. with heavy flannel
cloths or mops, which are to be
bought for the purpose.
AS for oil, 1t must never be used
on any floor. 1t does not cleanse,
hut carries the dirt and dust into
the wood as 1t becomes absorbed.
If shellac surface finish is used,
o. floor may be wiped up with a mix
ture of water and milk, half and
half, and dried with a clean flannel
cloth.
The milk has efficient grease to
cause a polish and is not the dirt
carrier" that oil is said to be.
Wax is not always satisfactory II
applied over shellac surfaces. 1t is
Gpt to cake and peel OF after q
time, therefore the milk and water
Giet" is recommended for such
floors.

New Food Laws.
Grocers and Other Interested People Gettir Q
Posted.

The grocers and druggists
throughout the country are busy
these days stamping their goods
with the cabalistic formula. 20. II.
1873 'o6," which being interpreted
is, "On Hand, December 3Ist,
1906" The regulations of the
pure food law require that all goods
',p hand at that date must be so
stamped. If stamped they may be
disposed OF until October II, 1907.
After that date all foods must con-
form with the pure food bill. Groc-
ers are receiving their shipments
of goods stamped or ticketed the
same way. This will continue un-
til October II, 1907, alter which
all the goods must have date Of
package or preparation and formula
used in manufacture.
A circular of advice TO buyers OF
food products covering the main
features of the National Pure Food
Law has been issued through job
bing grocers to the retail grocers.
The circular is in many respects
identical with the bulletin issued
to its members by the National
Wholesale Grocers' Association.
Members of this organization have
been incensed in the last few days
because of certain inaccurate and
misleading statements made regard
ing the position of these organiza-
tions on the pure food law.
1t is pointed out that these asso-
Citations have at all times worked
in thorough accord with the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and have from time to time instruct
ed their members how to proceed
to meet all the requirements of the
law.
The circular issued reads as fol.
lows: -"The national law does not
apply to goods which you have re-
ceived from us prior to January l.,
1907" the circular letter says.
"You can sellthem after that with
in your own State even though they
do not technically conform to the
law.
"You should, however, take the
precaution Of selling stock on your
shelves and in your store room be-
fore the supplies which you will re-
ceive from us hereafter. This will
avoid possible confusion between
old and new supplies when the gov
ernment inspector or collector
comes around.
"If government inspector OK
collector calls upon you and pur.
chases samples for analysis by the
Department of Agriculture see that
he does not receive any goods pur-
chased by you prior to January /,
| 1907. No inspector will wish to
| take samples of goods in stock prior
to January /, 1907, if you call it to
his attention. because the samples
would not be good ones under the
law. Kindly instruct your clerks
on this point, as there are many
technicalities of law in relation to
labels which old stock may not full
ly meet"
The circular then goes on to give
in concise form the rule Of the De-
partment If Agriculture as to the
collection of samples by the pure
iocd inspectors. and also gives
many other valuable points con-
cerning the food laws that are now
in force.

NEW BRITAIN DETHRONED.

Hartford, Dec. 19.-Hartford's roller polo team took the lead in the race last night by defeating New Britain. It required four seconds of overtime to win first place.
 Lincoln had been capturing the rushes right along and the best that Schiller could do was to have two ties When Tommy Leahy blew his whistle for the final rush, Lincoln and Schiller darted from the cages as if they were shot out of gun. It was a great race to the spot but the Hartford man won out. He hooked the ball up, juggled it on his stick until he reached the first line of the New Britain defense, then he hooked the ball up over the heads of the players, skated around the backs who tried to block him and with one swift poke shot the ball past Mitchell, who had no chance to ward off the blow The lineup and summary:

BOWLING
RECORDS OF THE PLAYERS
Watt of Bridgeport Is the One Best Player in the
 League

New Haven holds undisputed sway in first place in the State Bowling league, but the rest are fairly well punched. The latter team trimmed Waterbury three straights Tuesday, and the latter rolled an even 2800- that's going some. The former team, however, went some better and es- tablished new team record for the league, 2884.
 Watt still leads in the individual averages with 201, falling off from the week previous. By the way, if it wasn't for Jimmy, Bridgeport stock would be on level with or below that of New Britain.
 Johnson of New Haven holds sec ond honors in the individual list with an average of lo5.3, while Riddell of New Britain is but one-tenth of a point behind. The former has the high pinfall of the league.
 Two men increased their high sin. gles Tuesday night-Beardsley of Waterbury and Walker of New Brit ain, the latter joining the 200 class with string of 225.
 The following figures tell the story of the struggle for honors among the pin artists to date:

POLO NOTES.
New Haven here tonight.

New Haven here tonight.
 We will make up for our defeat oi Tuesday.
 The flying George Bone will be ill the visitors lineup.
 New Britain has at last been de. throned and by her next door neigh. bor, Hartford.
 George Bone never was lover ol Waterbury and vice versa, the locals never fell all over George with congratulatory messages of love. He will be here tonight.
 Jimmy Burns of the Springfield base ball team has purchased the Meriden State Polo league team. Whoever thought that "Chimmie' would become a sporting magnate?
 The injury to Bob Loxson is re- ported as not so bad as was first thought. He may get into the game this evening and he may not. It all depends on the advice of the physi- clan.
 New Haven will do her level best to beat us this evening. The Bone players have been up against it for the past two games and they are get ting a few tips from the fans down that way to go in and win.
 Save us or we perish is the vail that is again coming from the west Two cities will surely drop out next week and then they are going to try to form a combination and dis tribute the players around the cir cult.
 Jason and Kid Duggan are the ehummiest of friends. and reports tJ the contrary are absolutely false. The older player has a lot of admira- tiOn for the Kid and predicts that he will be one of the wonders of the polo world with a bit more experi- ence.
 According to dispatches. Curtis drove a goal from the spot in three seconds against PawtHcket the other night. Tom Cotter eaged a goal in exactly three seconds in old days, not leaving the cage until the ref eree's whistle blew. Whether Curtis had got started before the whistle Is not known Phil JssOn's goal in two seconds was not legitimate, as he was on top of the ball with the sound of the Waistle-
