BAKERIES ARE CLEANER
STATE INSPECTOR GIVES OUT A
REPORT OF PROGRESS.
Child and Female Labor Decreasing and
Shops Are Improving in Sanitary
Condition.

MADISON, Wis, July 5.-[SpeciaL i
The state bakery inspectors report just
published reveals the fact that the pres
ent inspector reached 2Tl more bakeries
during the year than the inspector Of
two years ago.
The report shows that child labor has
decreased nearly 80 per cent. Most Of
the increase in adult labor has been
males. Fewer women are now in the
bakeries. Most of the bakeries in Mil
waukee require from ten to twelve hours
a day work. About IS per cent. of the
bakeries inspected were found to be III
an unsantary condition. The percent
age in Milwaukee was larger than out
side of the city.
During the year there were fourteen
prosecutions for failure to comply with
the bakery inspection law.
The Legislature has changed the bak
cry inspection law materially. Under the
old law it made no difference what the
sanitary condition OF bakeshop was,
the proprietor could not he prosecuted
until after thirty days notice had been
given him and not incorporating the
order had been complied with in the
meantime. Now, when a bakeshop is
found In an unsanitary condition, the
baker can be taken before the court
without notice, and upon the second of
Tense, his right to run u bakery may be
taken from him.

spOrtsmen have turned their attention
from the northern lakes to the Illinois
rivers and neighboring lakes. For the
small lakes all along the rivers show
the same wonderful increase in PTS
catorial population.
Complaints of the alleged effects on
Lake Michigan fisheries at first were
ridiculed by tie drainage canal trus-
tees, but they have become so numerous
that these officials have been forced to
take cogniZance of them. The rivers
gain is Lake Michigan's loss, it is de-
clared, and how to prevent the exodus
of lake fish Is a problem that the SAM
tary trustees are now wrestling with.
so far, the only solution of the prob
lem that has been suggested is the
and locks along the artificial water
route. But this, it is feared, would
weaken the dams, and it is doubtful If
it would be possible to construct them
in a manner that would permit the fish
to make their way back to Lake Mich
igan, once they had wandered so far
away as the Illinois River. Two meth
DDS Of constructing the f1shways have
been proposed-one consisting Of what
IS known as fish ladder, which would
consist Of series Of steps, over which
the water in descending would turn the
fall into cascade, and thus permit
the fish to climb back in pursuing
their return journey to the lake; the
other comprising chute with sinu-
Gus track for diminishing the velocity
and assisting the passage of the fish to
the level above the dam. Because of
the nature of the locks and dams, their
width and number, it is doubted If this
device would prove successful even if
the construction did not interfere so
materially with the mechanical opera
tions.
The appearance Of the new types Of
fish, entirely different from anything
recorded by former naturalists, has
stirred up the scientists, and the here
tofore dcSpised DeS PLANES River has
come into prominence as the center of
piscatorial interest, for 1t Is here that
the new types and increased number Of
fishes have attracted widespread atten-
ton.
The strange and new types of fishes,
never noticed to any great extent until
this year, are undoubtedly the result
Of the intercrossing that came about
after the invaders from the lake had
accustomed themselves to the new en-
vironments. On finding it impossible
to make their way back to the lake,
they settled down to make the best of
their life in the narrow confines of the
rivers and accept the condition of mis-
cegenation with the river fishes as the
best for all concerned.-St Louis Globe

Benefits of Learning How to Sew

Two generations ago In a famous
school for girls In an Eastern city sew

A tradition fingers in one family Of q
daughter who went to that school when
she was 6 years old. SO well did she
sew at that age that she was excused
from making the shirt, and set at once
to a bit of fine needlework-a wide
muslin collar, covered with embroidery
as exquisite as lace.
The promise of the G-year-old child
was richly fulfilled, and her needle was
for a long lifetime a high satisfaction
to herself and Joy to her fortunate
family and friends. Sewing was never
a slavery to her, but always fasci-
mating creative occupation. The patch
on a jacket, the darn Of stocking or
the embroidery Of gown or Il napkin
were alike welcome calls upon her ca
pable fingers. When people spoke Of
her ability to turn off sewing, she used
to say:

There are two ways of preparing
