William Allen White
 Denounces Wool Barons

New York. Feb. 29-After making personal investigation of the strike conditions in Lawrence, Mass, Will liam Allen White, the Kansas editor author, said today, that the cause or the strikers was a just one He said that he was convinced their wage de- mands were reasonable and that there has been no excuse for the violence shown toward them by the police and militia.
 Said White here, today: 'The enor- nous profits of the mill owners, out of which they brag they have erected new mills and extended their old mills without using additional capital, makes it obvious that the mill opera tives have not received what they have earned. The wage fund in Law renee has been diverted from the workers to the surplus of the capital ists.
 For the men sent by the state and city to keep the peace to club the women to drive women through the Common like sheep, to treat the strih- CTS inhumanly as they are treated in Lawrence only breeds anarchy and disresDect for the law

HOME HINTS.


 To prevent the bedclothes pulling out from the foot of the bed and leav- ing the feet cold, take half an old sheet, put one end or half of it under the foot of the ma attress, and let the other half hang over the footboard while you spread the sheets and blan- kets as usual; but before putting on the spread, bring the other end of the half sheet up over the clothes as far as it will come, then put on the spread. It will take more than an ordinary amount of kicking on the part of the most vigorous boy to tear the clothes loose.
 To let air into the sleeping room in winter, find that muslin tackled on a removable screen and placed in the window is a success, as there can be no draft or snow admitted: it can be removed in the daytime
 To steams velvet, instead of using a dauron, try your soapstone and See how much better and smoother the velvet will he.

PLAsTERs AND PoULrIcEs.

Tn making mustard plasters. mix flour of mustard into a stiff paste with Iuke-warm water, or with vinegar, and then spread it on a piece of muslin or linen that has been folded two or three times. Place a piece of gauge or thin muslin over the mustard and then apply the plaster to the part of the body it is intended to medicate Its action is that of a powerful rube- facient and counter-irritant, and it's application should not be continued long except in extreme eases.
 One of the finest substitutes for a mustard plaster, held to be, by those who use it, far superior to the mus tard product for the reason that it neither blisters nor breaks the skin and yet it accomplishes the same work, is the red pepper plaster. This is made by taking equal parts of red pepper and flour and mixing them into a paste with warm water, or warm vinegar, spreading it on the thinnest sort of gauge, muslin or yelling and applying it to the skin. This is the first time this recipe has been given to the public, but the inventor of it and others who have tried it are en- thusiastic over it's medical properties.

THAWINC
 BY ELECTRICITY
 NOT USED HERE
(Danbury News. Feb. 27.l

(Danbury News, Feb. 27.)
 The electrical pipe-thawing appara- tuS recently purchased by the Dan bury & Bethel Gas and Electric Light Co.,, was given it's first assignment yesterday afternoon, and it worked with the service pipe leading from house in a near lot on Morris street to the main in the street. This ser vice pipe: which was a 4 inch pipe, was 150 feet long. It had been frozen solid for two weeks Connection was made with the service pipe just in side the cellar wall, and another con which was situated 300 feet from the point where the service pipe and the 6-inch water main were connected, making a distance of 45O feet be tween the two points of connection. Although the currehI had to run 300 feet from the hydrant, through the service pipe, the water flowed in the frozen pipe in seven minutes from the time the current was introduced
 MT. Chas. A. Paul, manager of the United Illuminating company in this city was asked today by a Farmer representative whether anything Of the sort was used in this city. In reply he said that in his work he had seen to it that the lines were all so well laid that there was little danger of any need of such apparatus. He knew of the machines and was very enthusiastic about their use where the weather became cold enough to freeze the underground mains. In Torring- ton and Winsted he said that they were used regularly with great sue cess.
 Albert E. Lavery of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company said that his company uses steam apparatus in thawing frozen mains. While the electrical apparatus is much more modern, there is not enough cold weather in this city to warrant the purchase of any new apparatus at present, and the steam method an swers the purpose and probably will for some time to come. He has noted it's use in Torrington and other towns in the northern part of the state and so far as he knows the new electrical appliance is very satisfactory and is rapidly being introduced throughout the country.
 George w. Roberts, treasurer of the Bridgeport Gas Light Company was also asked about the use of the cleo trica1 appliance and while he recog- nizes the fact that the new method is very efficient and Is being used with great success in all parts of the coun- try, especially in the eastern states, he feels that the present method used by the Gas company is entirely ade- quate for their needs. Alcohol, forced through the pipes at high pres sure is used by them, but it is not often that their mains become frozen.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW

of the feminine pop 'ulation-means breakfast in bed. a des- cent to the living room when a desire for slumber has been entirely routed, and after that, of course the guest will comply with any thing planned if not too arduous, but experience has taught us that both as hostess and visitor, the less planning the better.
 To say, Were at home, and we wish you were'' does not exactly signify the true spirit of hospitality, But on the other hand, though crude, it is much better than to confront the guest with a programme Of entertainment, the ex- actions of which asks the visit pen ance rather than a pleasure

 Washington, Feb. 29-Oratorica1 bIudgeons in defense of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson fgurativelY whacked the heads of Representatives. today, when Representative Higgins, House. Higgins 'swanoped'' Chairman Moss, of the House Committee inves- tigating the Department of Agricul- ture scandal, denying "Tamma Jim" is a "tool of the great corporations, a corrupt administrator of the law and the enemy of pure food refrm.'
 He criticised Moss for attacking Wilso nand Solicitor McCabe of the House for "gIorifying Dr. Wiley and charging Wilson with wilful assump- tion of power in defiance of law
 That elimination of a $30,000 appro- priation for continuance of the referee board in charge of the pure food work would contribute to the gratifying of the food adulterators,' was assert ed by Higgins.
