| This shows a man utterly reck-
less in his assertions. Who can
rely on his word now?
The idea of destroying and kill
ing people here and there to bring
about a reign of terror in the in
terest Of labor unions is a foolish
one. 1t is doing evil that good
may come. And it will prove
futile. The majority of laboring
men, in the union and out of it,
are right at heart, and will not
endorse destruction and slaught-
er. They will turn adrift the
false leaders. Furthermore, !
There is a Divinity that shapes
our ends" The Almighty Ruler
of worlds and men has His eye
on human beings. Man can go
so far and no farther. THE
Power, not ourselves, works for
righteousness" and no organi-
zation can thwart the rulings of
The Almighty.
Laboring men have a right to
and unite for mutual
1elp; they have no right to des-
roy property, main and kill their
'ellow-creatures. If they do this,

will be able to detect their evil
ways.
1t is strange how people imag-

what their idea was in dynamit
ing buildings at Los Angeles.
was to create a terror and there
by enhance the reign of uniol
labor. The two brothers had n,
love for destruction and slaught
er save as the havoc would en-
harce Che union labor system
Destruction of property anC
slaughter Of life was means tC
an end. The end in view was
the triumph of the union through
terrorism.
1t may be that personal money
gain was to be part pay. Some
body paid these two brothers for
doing the job; how much is not
yet known. 1t may come out
hereafter. There was the, temp
tation to get rich quickly pre-
sented to the McNamaras by do
ing an easy job of dynamiting
buildings where non-union labor
was employed. So off they go to
Los Angeles to do the business.
Their heart, no doubt, was in it,
or else they would not have been
selected. Perhaps, however, the
selection was made by lot. We
do not as yet know the full par
ticulars. We know this much,
the Mcnamara brothers did the
cruel job, and hence we call it
the Mcnamara idea.
Is it also the idea of the lead
ling men in the union labor cause?
Of course, we know well enough
that the great majority Of ,nem-
bels are upright and true men,
men who stand aghast at the hor-
rible job done at Los Angeles.
But in matters of this sort the
few at the head of the organiza-
tion give direction. Was it some
man higher up in the union who
commissioned the Mcnamara
brothers to undertake their fiend-
ish work of destruction and
slaughter? If so, the real guilty
ones are not yet found out. We
look for more confessions ere
long.
Are we to believe that Comp
ers,. the head Of the Federation
of Labor, was in it? Detective
Burns asserts that Gompers knew
all about it before the confession
was made, but Gompers denies it
and pretends to be shocked at
the disclosure Of criminal audac-
ity on the part Of the two broth
ers. We must take Gompers at
his word until further revelations
are made,I but at the same time
bearing in mind that Detective
Burns is not a man to accuse any
body withos't some good reason
If Gompers had a guilty knowl-
edge of what was to happen at
Los Angeles it will come out on
him. If Burns can prove it on
Gompeps. the head Of the Feder-
alton Of Labov is as good as dead.
The Federation will have to have
a new head.
There is one thing obviously
against Gompers, he tried to turn
the whole cruel jobon Detective
Burns. Without a shadow Of ev-
idence he gave out that Burns
had the dynamite mt there in

tiOns made of the urine. During this period a gallon of tea was drunk by the subject in every twenty-four hours. No i'll effects of any kind could be discovered.
 Then, for the same period, the same quantities were given to other healthy persons. It was soon established that a gallon of tea daily did not in the least alter the good health of a normal body. The next step was to try tea in the cases of men and women who were not well. At first only those whose health was slightly "of color'' were given the tea. As the research progressed, with results uniformly harmless to the subjects, Japanese brewed tea was given to men and women in very low physical condition If there was any harmful effect from this free drinking of tea it could not be discovered; all these i'll ones re- covered their health as readily as though they had not drunk tea at all
 1t was also established, by numerous experiments on several persons, that no slavish habit of tea drinking was formed. Several subjects left off their tea for periods of from one day to week without feeling any cravings for the withheld beverage.
 To learn what stimulating effect, if any, lay in the tea, sphygmomanome- ter was used. This instrument records the arteria1 pressure of the blood and detects any increase or decrease in that pressure. The human subject was placed in a recumbent position and the arterial pressure ascertained. Then, every five minutes a cup of tea was given until six in all had been taken. The instrument was frequently used during and after this tea drinking bout, yet only the most trifling in- creases in arterial tension were noted. The increases were, in fact, so insigni- ficant as to create the belief that they were wholly due to the taking up of water into the blood from the intestine, thus temporarily increasing the amount of fluid in the arteries. Subsequent tests, using water in the place of tea.

Saturday may be a good time to wash the woolens and coIored clothes for these are not to be boiled and should be done by themselves, sepa- rately, and as quickly as possible. The thoughts of ''blue Monday often cloud the bright sky of Sunday, even if no actual preparation for the hard day to follow is allowed to break this rest which certainly belongs to every housewife as a precious preventive. ward to as pleasure, it may be too much for one day when to that is added the other necessary work of the house.
 When the housewife keeps to the customary days for washing and iron ing she should think twice before spending her labor for some results that profit little or nothing. Why can we not divest ourselves of prejudices that, like a ball and chain, impede progress?
 Artists tell us that fitness to purpose IS a fundamental factor in beauty. When the application of this rule ends in time and labor saved, the investment draws a large dividend.
 The primary purpose of a hand or dish towel is to absorb moisture which it does by virtue of the many loose fibers that stand out upon the sur face. Friction or gentle rub may be another desired end. This, too, needs a fairly rough surface. The woman who irons such articles, pressing down all these absorbent fbers, is unscientifc, at least. Counting the extra fuel which is often required and her labor. she may also prove to be wasteful,

upheld this view. Nor was there any notable increase in pulse or resp1ra- tion.
 The tea used by the author is an ordinary Japan black and green mix ture It makes brew of light amber shade when poured into shallow cups.
 Unfortunately, there is no chemical test, simple enough for home use, that will show the on-chemist the quantity of theirn in given tea brew. The tannin, however. can be gauged ap- proximately, and this, too, will give an indication as to the thein. Any druggist will supply a six-inch glass test tube and a small bottle of ten per cent. aqueous solution of ferric chloride. Pour two tablespoons of tea brew into the test tube and add about thirty drops of the ferric chloride solu tion. A strength of tannin about equivalent to seventy-fiv parts in the million will impart to the tea in the test tube with the ferric chloride solu- tion, light olive green color. If the addition of the ferric chloride to the tea gives the liquid very dark green color, then the brew is much too strong in tannin. If the mixture of tea and ferric chloride gives black, ink-like aspect to the fluid, then the brew Is dangerously strong in tannin.
 When, under such a test, the tannin is shown to be within safe limits, 1t is permissible to conclude that there is not too much thein present either. In the tea prepared by the author thein was found to be present to the extent of about four-tenths of a gram (six grains) in the gallon.
 The chemical test above described is useful bit of household analysis, and should by employed from time to time.
 Tn the experiments the tea was drunk without the addition of milk or sugar. Many tea drinkers imagine they would find 1t difficult to take tea without these extras. Yet one who has tried, for a week or so, the light, aromatic Japanese brew without milk or sugar is certain to find that, thereafter. he prefers his tea without additions.

and this method is very saving of space, besides keeping garments in much better order than when they are looped over hooks.
 Linen is frequently kept in a large closet built in the principal bedroom. If the door be tight, linen may be fold ed on shelves, instead of keeping it in drawers, as it is inconvenient to get from underneath when it is stored in Q drawer.
 Most small houses are built without an attic, or at best simply a rough at tic room which may be afterwards fin ished Where room is desired in the at- tic it is a good plan to have a gable roof, so that you may get light and air by windows in the gable ends.

That tea prepared in this fashion may be drunk freely by anyone is the writer's conviction, based upon experi- ments that attacked the problem from all sides.
 What about the caffein and tannin referred to in the beginning of this article? The chemistry of tea has not been studied as thoroughly as could be desired. Yet many pharmacologists and physiologists have concluded that the drug (alkaloid) in tea is thein. not caffein. Thein. according to these au- thorities, affects only the sensory nerves; while, on the other hand, the caffein of the coffee affects the motor nerves, in this latter instance giving rise to various nervous manifestations The writer is wholly of the belief that the alkaloid in tea is thein, not caffein, and that tea, properly infused, is not stimulant in the sense that coffee is- 1t follows that, in lightly brewed tea that has not had time to dissolve out large proportion of the thein, this aka Ibid is not to be regarded as harmful.
 Now as to the tannin. In samples breWed by American methods the writer has frequently found tannin to the amount of five hundred milligrams to the liter; in some especially vil- lainouS brews as high as eight hun dred milligrams. In tea prepared in the Japanese way from good leaf, the tannin does not go above seventy-f1 five milligrams to the liter; that is, sev- enty-five parts of tannin in million parts of tea infusion. This gives a tea so weak in tannin that it cannot trouble digestion or nerves. From five to eight hundred parts of tannin in the million parts of tea, on the other hand, are calculated, in sufficient time. to wreck an efficient human organiza- tion.
 The writer's experiments in drinking tea brewed Japanese style were first of all made upon himself. in condition of abundant good health. A physician with a taste for research was asked to help note results. For thirty days conditions were observed and examina-

can-brewed tea had, in a large per- centage of cases, pernicious effects. Then tea brewed according to Japanese methods was tried, with wholly differ ent results. An ordinary Japanese way of making tea infusion is to bring the water to the boiling point. next pouring it over the leaves in a teapot. The pot is covered. and al- lowed to stand for from a minute and half to two minutes. Then the tea is strained away from the leaves into a second pot.
 Most American housewives allow the leaves to remain with the brew, and in time become so addicted to this strong, rather poisonous infusion that they declare the last cup to be the best of all" Even more thoughtful housewives, who strain the infusion from the leaves, allow steeping of from five to seven minutes, thus pro- ducing a tea without the delicate aroma belonging to that beverage.
 For convenience the writer adapted the Japanese way of brewing tea in this wise: Nearly all kitchen goods stores sell tea balls. These are either of sheet metal or of wire, with aper- lures or meshes allowing the passage of water through the ball. In one of these balls two teaspoons of tea leaves are placed. and the ball closed and dropped into pot to hold eight or iiino oop,u uiS- DolliIS water IS poured over and the pot covered during the first minute of steeping During the last half minute of brewing the ball is moved up and down through the fluid by the string or chain attached to the ball. Then the ball is removed f-ozn the pot.
 If prepared from leaf not too strong, such tea, when poured into a shallow cup, will be found to be of a beautiful amber color and daintily aromatic. Poured into deep cup, the same brew will appear darker in hue A hint to the tea lover: Serve always in shall low cups, as then the aroma spreads and assails the nostrils more tempt ingly.

Drinking of Good
 Tea Is Harmless
The Strange Beverage Americans Brew from Tea
 Leaves is Poisonous Because Wrongly Made
By H. IRVING HANCOCK

nese do drink tea in large quantities. Tea is part of every phase of social life. It is served in business offices; in shops intending buyers are offered tea to sip while deliberating over pur- chases. The lone traveller carries his own brand with him. At every turn in Nippon the fragrant brew is en- countered.
 Not being a tea user himself, the writer was forced to confess that he did not know the reply to the ques- tion of the medical reviewers. Yet it was obviously his place to find the answer, and in this effort experiments on the effeceS of tea on the human body were carried on in the authors laboratories, at intervals, for a period of three years.
 Tea prepared in the prevailing Amer ican way was tried first of all The harmfulness of it's effect was found, usually, to- be in proportion to the relative health conditions of the sub jects on whom the experiments were made. The tests proved that Ameri-
