new YORK GODDESS IS HAPPY
Wardrobe Of Miss Liberty Costs the
Government 100000, but 1t Was
Worth It.

The happiest woman In all New
York today is standing out in the mid
die of the river, with one arm raised
over her millions of fretful sisters to
show that goddess still can be a
goddess even If she does have to wear
made over clothes winter and sum-
mer, the New York Herald remarks.
Miss Liberty has just had $4,000
spent on her wardrobe, and although 1t
was only a patching up of the clothes
which Mr.. Bartholdi gave to her when
he left her here in 1886 she is con-
tended,
T.; For five years she has been CON-
planning, groaning occasionally and
feeling creepy in her joints after the
stiff winds had driven the rain
through little weak spots in her COP
per clothing. Her clothes were sadly
in need of repair, but Uncle Sam did
not give heed to the needs Of his
daughter. until one day her arm began
to weaken and it was found that she
could no longer hold up twelve per-
sons in her right hand. Then the lad
der up the inside Of her forty-flve foot
arm was closed to the public because
the brawny arm wobbled, and it was
deemed best not to tax it too much.
Small holes appeared here and there
in the copper sheath skirt and some
of the braces on the steel frame work
came loose. Uncle Sam found that he
must send for the dressmaker.
The copper envelope which forms
the goddess gown was repaired piece
by piece, all the steel work was
painted, all the missing rivets were
replaced, all places where the cop
per was so badly damaged by corro-
sion that the light could be seen shin
ing through the shell were patched
properly with soft copper. Great care
was. taken that none of the small
holes intended to drain the pockets
formed by the drapery were closed by
mistake.
The stone work around the goddess
feet has been repaired and two
turnstiles placed In the stairways
leading to and from the head of the
statue This was found necessary be-
cause 50 many persons did not read
the directing signs and went up the
wrong way, with the result that there
was great deal unnecessary CON
fusion and some anxiety on the part
Of persons meeting on the narrow

Cook Ovens In Mexican VILLAGES

COOK ovens III MoXtcah villages.
In nearly every Mexican village
may be found rounded structure of
dried mud resembling an old-fash-
Toned bee hive with a small opening
near the ground. 1t is the oven which
is utilized by the village for general
culinary purposes. Early in the day
the oven is thoroughly heated by
building a fire In it, and after the
Goals are brushed down all the pots
and pans containing the food to be
cooked are placed inside and the oven
is closed up. No further attention ia
paid to it until dinner time.

Many chicken-breeders are abandon

Matching, but instead are supplying
one-day-old chicks. One of the early
experiments in dealing with the tiny
birds was the sending Of batch in.

MAKERS OF FOODS
ARE RESPONSIBLE
Manufacturer Directly Liable to
Consumer, Is Decision in
Wisconsin Court.

Word has been received here of a
most important decision in a pure food
law case by the supreme court of Wis
consin.
Under the pure food law of Wiscon-
sin, II was held by the court that a
manufacturer who sells to a retainer a
food product that he knews, or should
know, to be so prepared as to be in
furious to health, is liable to a GUS
toner of the retailer for damages, even
though there was no contractural rela-
ton between manufacturer and con-
eumer.
This decision was in the case of Haley
by Guardian VS.. Swift & Co. Swift &
Co. have cold storage warehouse al
Ashland. Wis. The company shipped
and this merchant sold some of the
sausages to a family named Haley A
child was made severely i'll by eating
the sausage. The father sued Swift &
Co, on behalf of the child, for $4,000.
The supreme court held against Swift
& Co. While the case was under the
Wisconsin law, the question is raised
whether the same rule does not apply
to the Federal law. That the case will
be appealed to the Supreme Court Of the
United States IL any Federal question
can be raised, is expected.
1t is pointed out that IL the courts
Federal law, the pure food problem Will
cease to exist 1t will be made impossi-
bic for manufacturers TO prepare food
products that are not healthful without
subjecting themselves to suits that
would bankrupt them.
