ana iron chocolate.
AS a result of a conference between
DR., Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, and dairy and food Off
Gals of Pennsylvania it is probable
that the confectionery manufacturers
of the Keystone state will be required
to change the coating of their Easter
goods and also some of their candies.
The principal contention has been
over the material used in the coating
of CONNECTIONS. Much of this sub
stance has been condemned by the
Pennsylvania authorities as varnish.
1t is charged also that the coloring
in many of the seductive Easter
goods is due to iron rather than to
chocolate, Two-thirds of this coun-
try's production of these goods is
made in Pennsylvania.

HIS MANY DISCOURAGING HARD
SHIPS AFTER ARRIVAL IN
THIS COUNTRY.
DEAD JOURNALIST WONDERFUL

A Penniless Immigrant, Ignorant of
Our Language. Whose Ideals and
Courage Led Him to Success After
Hard Struggles. Slept Many Nights
: ON Park Bench.
In the death of Joseph Pulitzer,
proprietor of the New York World
snd the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
which occurred while on board his
yacht, Liberty, in the Charleston, S.
c., harbor, there was closed a career
peculiarly striking as an example Of
the opportunities which have been
found in the United States for ad-
vancement from perjury and friend
lessness to wealth and power. Few
men of other countries who have
come here to make their fortunes
have been more handicapped on the
start than Mr. Pulitzer. Without
money or friends, having no knowl-
edge of our language and suffering
from defective eyeSight, this daunt-
less man made the fight and won a
great victory. The most pathetic
feature of this brilliant career is the
fact that his weak eyes, after causing
him serious inconvenience for years,
finally gave out altogether, so that
the latter part of his life was spent
in total blindness. Seldom have ones
struggles to achieve been more Sc
we're, yet it is noteworthy that at 81,
about 10 years after he landed at
New York, Mr.. Pulitzer became own
er Of daily newspaper and was on
the road to wealth.
Mr.. Pulitzer in 1877 married Miss
Kate Davis of Washington, a niece
of Jefferson Davis. He leaves five
children-Joseph Pulitzer, Jr.,
Ralph, Herbert, Constance and
Edith.
His Early Life.
Joseph Pulitzer was born at Buda-
pesth, Hungary, April 10, 1847. His
father was a business man, suppos-
eddy wealthy, but at his death, while
Joseph was still quite young, it was
found that his estate had dwindled
to almost nothing. To relieve his
mother of any burden the lad left
home and finally landed in New York
in 1864 practically penniless The
young Austrian soon enrolled and
served to the end of the war in the
Lincoln cavalry, as the regiment was
called, part of the time being under
Gen. Sheridan. At the close of the
war a companion suggested that they
go west to seek their fortunes. To-
gether they went to a railroad office,
threw down all the money they had
and asked for passage as far west
as their capital would take them.
1t was thus by chance that Mr.. Pu-
liter went to st. Louis, for there is
where they landed.
After alternating as stevedore and
as fireman on boats plying between
st. Louis and New Orleans for some
time young Pulitzer had enough
money saved to start in business as a
boss stevedore in st. Louis. This
was his first enterprise and it was not
a success. It's failure left him again
penniless and with his strength di-
minishing. He applied to an en-
ployment agency for lighter work,
and got a place as cOachman in a
private family. Here again his de-
fective vision proved a handicap and
after two weeks he was discharged
because his employer feared he
would run into something. Pulitzer
vainly sought employment in every

SUPPLY HOUSE GUTTED. Blaze Destroys New Haven Road Structure Building Inspector
 Condemned

''Let her burn," cried the employees of the railroad as they watched the flames consume the old stationery supply house of the New Haven road on Long wharf yesterday. The build ing had been condemned some time before by Building Inspector Austin and consequently its destruction meant a loss of nothing but the ma terial in it. The old building bIazed up like a bonfire and was practically destroyed before the firemen could eXtinguish the flames.
 On the way to the fire one of the horses on Hook and Ladder No. 1 was badly injured when the apparatus crashed into a truck at the corner of Brewery and Water streets, and was later shot. The horse, Charlie" was oneof the finest in the Elm City de- partment.
 The flremen busied themselves principally in preventing the spread of the flames to the freight house and other buildings nearby.

Ii you are planning to take course of beauty" treatments, either from a specialist or under your own personal care, first make sure just what you want to accomplish and then go about 1t in a systematic way and keep 1t up for reasonable length of time. Very frequently, expected results have failed to materialize, because, in period of discouragement, treatment was stopped just at the important time, or, by the persistent failure to follow the directions given.
 It Is not we'll to overdo in your efforts toward improving your ap pearance, but 1t is just as great a mis- take to only half do what you begin. If anything is worth doing at all, it is worth doing we'll, and this applies particularly to beauty treatments.
 Many professional in beauty cu1- ture has seen all her conscientious work come to naught, because her client lacked the necessary persever- ance to make the treatment a com plete success. Many a good cosmetic has been branded a fraud, because the user failed absolutely to follow the stipulated directions.
 AuiOlS tuS lllOSl dUuSCu beauty treatments Is massage, and I am be- ginning to believe that the average woman causes more harm than good by the way she manipulates the flesh on her face and throat. If she would only realize that regular massage Is beneficial and, if given every day with gentle movements and for few min utes, improvement would be very rapid and very marked. but when she uses the massage once week and goes at 1t vigorously to make up for the other six days of neglect, much harm follows.
 One woman I know laid out plan for herself and followed it re1igiously for three months with the result that her friends are all remarking about her improved appearance. She went once in two weeks to specialist for facial treatment, then she used a massage cream every other night on her face and neck, going lightly over the flesh with the rotary motion ad vised. She finished the treatment with copious spray of cold water and dried her face by brisk spatting with a soft towel folded over her hand. On alternate nights she bathed her face 1n warm water, drled 1t gently. and applied mild, nongreasy bleach allowing it to dry on and re7 main all night. The time spent each night was very little, but the regu- larity of the treatment was what counted.
 If treatment for the hair is under taken, the tonic must be used with reasonable regularity if good results are to be looked for. If massage of the scalp is advised, let it be given gently and according to the direc- tions, but do not use methods for your scalp that would take the skin off your face and do not undertake half dozen things at once to make your hair grow The chance is, that in using too vigorous measures you will remove any hair that may be tes:. and then you will have the tedi-

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

When washing fine china or cut glass a heavy Turkish towel on the bottom of the dishpan will often keep the dishes from chipping.
 When buttons are removed from a dress for future use they should De loosely strung on thread before put ting them in a button box.
 lingerie gown will look fresh much longer if care is taken to fill out the sleeves with tissue paper whenever the gown is not being worn.
 Butter is used as a garnish. Run it through a perforated crusher into ice cold water and let it remain in the water until it is quite hard
 For delicious fishballs use canned salmon, mixed with mashed and sea soned potatoes. Dip the balls in but ter and toast under the gas flame
 Cover plaster of paris figures with thick coating of starch and water; let it dry on the surface and the dirt will brush off with the dry powder.
 To bake potatoes quickly, place the potatoes on top of oven under second cover. They will bake in half an hour with a low fire in the coal range.
 To render muslins, draperies, chil- dren's clothing, etc, fireproof, dissolve a little-a good teaspoonful-of sal am- moniac in the last rinsing water.
 If windows stick and are hard to open pour a teasponful of melted lard between window frame and casing, putting a little on the rope. This works like magic.
 When pairing bananas for an invalid instead of using sugar and cream, they will be more appetizing if orange juice is used in connection with the sugar instead of the cream.
 Homemade ice cream is delicious, and not even the little bit that is left and melts should be wasted. With the addition of a little gelatine it can be made into a tempting dessert.
 When unwrapping the laundry soap save the oiled paper that comes around 1t and use it to wipe hot irons on. A great saving will be made in this way, as it is preferable to wax
 Baked sweet apples with the skins on, but with the cores removed, are improved in flavor if a little salt is put into the cavity left by the core when the apple is put into the oven
 If eyelets do not look we'll after laundering press them open before ap- plying the iron. by slipping an orange wood stick or a stilleto into them

Health and Beauty Hints

Your backbone was not made for a barrel hoop; do not curve it around but rather straighten it out God made man upright, not round-shoul- dered, humpbacked or bending over. If you bend over too much in your studies, get a lower seat. Saw the legs off an old chair, and then sit down so low that your chin will come just above the table; make the hind legs little shorter than the fore legs, and then read and write with your arms on the table, and it will take out some of the crook from your back.
 One mother whose daughter was get ting the habit of stopping, used to have her lie fiat on her back without pillow, for an hour each day while she read to her out of some interesting book. In little while she was as straight as need be, and picture of health and strength.
 In some countries the women carry pails, tubs and heavy loads upon their heads-this keeps them erect. Throw ing back the arms is another. means of keeping straight. Remember you may add years to your life by stand ing up straight; and you may not only have a longer life, but a strong CT, broader, deeper, happier, and more useful life if you go about with head erect, chest expanded, and lungs we'll developed, with rosy cheeks and fresh complexion, than if you go about bent over, cramped up, stoop- ing, fat-chested, sallow, nervous and miserable.

 The girl whose skin remains white and cool looking in the hot weather Is distinctly to be envied. For the rest, there is recourse to the powder puff to keep off the shine There is not the danger to the skin the use of powder, for powder careful ly put on will not clog the skin be- yond what is easily undone at the end of the day. Get a good talcum pow der, preferably one that has a slight flesh tint and not heavy scent
 There is a danger of making the face looked blotched if the powder is put on when the skin is moist This powder seems to collect in spots and leave other spots bare. On a hot day, when the face is damp and shin ing, keep a bottle of rose water and alcohol beside the powder box, and wipe off the face with a piece of soft linen wet in the liquid, before putting on the powder.
 A small bottle of the rose water, and alcohol together with an old handker- chief, can be carried in the shopping bag, so that the face may be wiped off with the cooling and drying liquod when one gets a chance. Then a rub With the powdered piece of chamois glVes the feeling and appearance of being presentable again for a while.

 MRS. III. 1E.: Sunken cheeks are apt to denote malnutrition of the body, and if that is the cause you will need an internal remedy as we'll as to use mas- sage cream. You will derive great bene-
 fit if you will take olive oil once or twice day two hours after the meal. A dessertspoonful will be the. right dose. Use massage cream regularly and pa t1ently for six weeks and then make comparisons with the condition as it was when you began. You will be sur prised at what you can accomplish in six weeks time if you are using the right treatment and the right creams.
 RITA R. M. The non-greasy bleach cream will exactly suit your needs, it dries immediately, and if carefully rubbed over the skin does not show any more than powder would do. It will clear off the tan and yellow spots in reasonably short time, and will not cause the slightest irritation. In fact, it is quite healing to the skin and can be used as often as desired.
 JENNIE ". L.: A good, nourishing cream is necessary for the massage Not only for it's beneficial effect on the skin, but also to aid the fingers in their work, as the constant friction would be likely to cause irritation. Only the best cream should be used, and an excellent method is to follow the mas sage with a cloth dipped in quite cole water and held against the face for few minutes, after which the skin should be gently patted dry.
 HANNAH: Probably the fault with your figure is due to the fact that you do not keep your chest up in position When the chest is held we'll up tho shoulders remain in their natural posi- ton and a rounded back is not pos sib1e. Try lifting your chest up as IT you were trying to bring it up to your chin, and do this whenever you think about it. Take half a dozen deet breaths also, several times day, ana you will be able to gradually overcome the tendency to dropping shoulders
