COMMUNITY OF TEMPERANCE
ADVOCATES THRlvEs.
Vice unheard Of In Benedicta--ls
Without Jail, Poorhouse, Free
from Debt and Has Cash
on Hand.

Boston.-Behedicta, in Maine, Is the
Roman Catholic Utopia and the dream
Of the w. C. T. U. come true. It is
tabloided Home Rule. Irish Catholics
settled in It. Their descendants,
sturdy Americans, run it. Only Cath
olics live there now, and probably
only Catholics will ever live there.
Il is crimeless. jailless, poorhouseless,
free from debt and ideally admins
tered
AS community Benedicta Is more
IDEAL than Moore's Utopia or Ba-
cons New Atlantis" Though 40
miles from any other town and 100
miles from a railroad. Benedicta has
electric light service. a municipal
water supply several fine buildings,
and all the conveniences Of a thor
oughly modern city.
Benedicta IS not only free from
debt, but has surplus in the treas
ury. Moreover there is not a poor
family in the place and there never
has been any occasion for the estab-
lishment Of any Of the usual institu-
tons for the poverty stricken or peace
breakers.
When Fenwick started his colony
he purchased more than 1900 acres
Of fertile timber lands, comprising
the western half Of a township in
Aroostook county. There he began
to build up an ideal community Of
temperance residents.
Though many Of the younger gener-
alton have gone to cities for work,
leaving their elders on farms. the cen.
sus OF 1900 showed that the colony
numbered $50 persons.

Pure Food Law VIII Raise Price Of
Desert and Other Things.

Washington.-The operations Of the
federal pure food law are plainly going
TO add still further to the cost Of
living in American homes How much
the increase will be can only be esti-
mated thus FAR.
The manufacturers whose products
and methods viii require to be
changed in order to comply with new
regulations can only guess at the ex-
pense Of the changes. But speaking
broadly. the use Of preservatlyes and
coloring matter has made It possible
to sell many staple articles to the
public for less money than they can
be sold for when these are not used.
Take the single list Of canned fruits
and vegetables, pickles, preserves,
jams. jellies, catchups and the like.
Coloring and preserving matters are
used in these. Some manufacturers
claim to produce them without pre-
seryatiyes, but the housewife who
wants to know how much is saved by
the privilege Of using these things
VIII be able TO learn BY asking her
grocer the difference In price between
the goods that are guaranteed to be

which are not.

10 SAVE THE COAL SUPPLY.
Crude Methods Of Production Have
Caused immense Waste.

Washington. ~ The government.
through the United States geological
survey, is planning with the producers
Of coal to place far in the distance the
day when the ccuntry's coal supply
shall be exhausted. Crude methods
Of production. with more attention
paid to cheap production than to say
ing and scientific methods Of mining
have resulted in an astonishing waste
Of coal This will never be recog.
nized. for ii lies buried deeply III
abandoned mines now filed in Also.
It is planned to prolong and regulate
the supply Of coal by new methods
Of mining which will, no doubt, result
In adding many years to the existence
Of the now available supply.
The extravaganza in the production
Of coal, amounting to almost criminal
waste, has not had the effect OF re
ducing the cost to consumers. This.
at least, is the opinion Of Edward w
Parker, Of the geological survey. whc
was member of President Roose-
yelt's coal strike commission. and pro
baby is more familiar with coal con.
ditions than any man in the country.
One Of the greatest problems to
overcome in theproduction Of coal. .
said Mr.. Parker, is reduction in the
waste Of mining. Only a few years
ago only 40 per cent. of the coal in
a mine was marketed. Sixty per cent.
was lost Cheap mining methods
caused this waste. Under improved
methods the waste has now been re-
duced to from 30 to 40 per cent"
