UNION RECOGNITION
 DEMANDED BY MINERS
Settlement of Difficulties Not
 So Near, It Appears.

Complete suspension of the coal min ing industry of the United States for at least two weeks resulted from a wage scale compromise effected by the bituminous joint conference in Cleve- land, following by eight hours a sus- pension order closing all the anthra- cite mines
 Almost 670,OOO miners in the hard and soft coal fields became idle pend ing the taking of a referendum vote on the question of strikes in both the hard and soft coal fields.
 Arrangements were completed for a conference of anthracite miners and operators to be held in Philadelphia at noon April 10, when negotiation will be resumed in accordance with the an nOunced agreement of President White of the miners and President Baer of the Reading company for the opera tors.
 Hopes Ol an early settlement of the anthracite coal strike, however, have given way to a feeling of depression on all sides. It is generally admitted that the miners will insist that the anthra- cite operators offer recognition to the union, and as a consequence even the most optimistic admit that conditions have taken a decided turn for the worse. It is not deemed likely in Scranton that the operators will easily given in tC the demanded recognition of the United Mine Workers.

To Whiten tho Teeth.

To whiten the teeth an excellent pow
der is made by mixing one ounce of
chloride OF lime, ten ounces of prepared
chalk. half ounce of Peruvian bark
and one teaspoonful of myrrh. This
should be used once day until the
teeth are sufficiently white, when 1t is
best to discontinue 1t for an ordinary
tooth paste.
To remove tartar, the disfiguring and
obstinate yellow discoloration which
forms at the base of the teeth, try dip
ping the brush in powdered magnesia
and rubbing 1t up and down over the
teeth as well as across. Dental floss
should be drawn between the teeth
at least twice week to keep them
free from food distractions, such as
bits of meat gristle or the seeds of Der
ries.
One of the most satisfactory and ben
eficial mouth washes is peroxide of
hydrogen. Many object to its use be-
cause of the peculiar sensation known
as splitting cotton" present only when
peroxide is particularly active. To
counteract this effect neutralize the
wash with another made by dlssolving
common baking soda In water. Perox.
tde of hydrogen Is both deodorant and
an antiseptic and Is one of the In
dispensable remedies to be included
in every medicine chest.

Skin Beauty.


For the yellowish skin nothing is so
satisfactory as fruit juices, and the
woman who pins her faith to this de-
lightful remedy will surely reap the
reward Of her trust In nature.
Fruit juices are beneficial principally
In that they stimulate the sluggish liv-
er to renewed activity, thus throwing
on the poisons which accumulate, and
are distributed along the surface OF
the skin.
Orange juice poured into cup of hot
water and taken before breakfast each
morning brings almost immediate re-
suits, Grapefruit has much the same
effect. but should be taken more spar
ingly. the juice of half a fruit to one
fourth OF cup of hot water being the
correct proportion.
Peaches. plums, grapes, raspberries,
blackberries, cherries, lemons, lines,
all offer excellent opportunities to pur
cue the fruit juice cure.

California Is Working For Better Bath

California has placed herself among
the western states which seem to be
awaking to new policies in their prison
administration. For some time there
was considerable complaint of alleged
Anticipated and brutal methods in the
treatment of inmates at Folsom prison.
The resignation of the warden fol-
lowed, and successor, ]. A. Johnston,
was secured and was thought to be
thoroughly in touch with modern re-
formative practices and ideals.

Quently than once In every two months.
Mr.. Johnston has had plans drawn for
a new bathhouse containing showers,

work of construction and furnishing
will be done entirely by convict labor.
Another projected improvement is
the installation of an automatic yenti-
lating system which will alleviate the
Objectionable conditions now existing.

cupied by from four to six men each.
These cells are closed by boiler plate

STATE FEDERATl0N'S FRIEND.
Delegate McHush Tells How Senator
Briggs and Governor Murphy Aided
In Abolishing Child Labor.


Senator Frank o. Briggs was II firm
and powerful friend of the New Jer
sey State Federation of Labor when
about eight years ago. the federation
needed friends"
Thus spoke Thomas J. McHugh OF
Newark In an interview.
Mr.. McIiugh has for nine years pas
served as chairman of the resolutions
committee of the state labor organiza
tion, the committee which virtually
directed the policies Of the annual con
ventions of the state labor men.
But In no sense shall this statement
be construed as an attempt on my
part to commit either the State FEEDER
alton of Labor or any of its affiliated
bodies to the candidacy of Senator
Briggs for reelection.
at Is plain statement of facts" he
continued.
about eight years ago, when the
federation took its stand against the
exploiting Of child labor In our state,
Senator Briggs was state treasurer.
The entire state administration was
Republican governor, senate and as
sembly.
1--WE sought legislation at Trenton to
kill the child labor monster.
"Our bill, the object of which was to
wipe out the child labor stain TINT had
for years married the name and fame
of our commonwealth, was urged to
passage by all the energies and InHu-
ence that we could command.
1--WE met with an opposition that
was stubborn and determined that our
bill should not become law.
Indeed, so potent and so persistent
was this opposition to us that the tide
OF battle seemed more than once TO be
drawing from us, and threatened us
with disaster upon the shoal of defeat
But In our darkest hours there came
to our side powerful re-enforcements
IN the persons of Senator Frank O.
Briggs and former Governor Franklin
Murphy, and we won the day.
New Jersey now stands out In the
front rank OF states that have taken
maternal interest In their children and
their welfare. And the state, In her
proud position. Is deeply indebted to
Senator Frank O. Briggs for the proud
position she occupies"

Women Who Wear Well.

IL is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of MANY
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron Is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF It's freshness and the form OF its
fairness.
