Vogelsang, the owner, are not concerned further
than to state that he is president of the Chicago Res
taurant Keepers Association. In this fact however,
there lies tremendous significance which we shall try
to unfold
A large proportion of the restaurants of Chicago
owned and for the most part are operated by
brewers. Everyone in Chicago knows that all these
brewery-owned restaurants have been having trouble
with their employees for nearly year; and any cook
or waiter will tell you that the terms and conditions Of
work in most of the restaurants of this class are simp
ly intolerable.
A prominent labor leader who has every facility
for knowing the facts is authority for the statement
that the great majority of the workers in these
rants have to work days a week and are COM

In view of these conditions-and they are not

Flour made from cotton seed is valuable food for general consumption. and an inexpensive substitute for meat. IL is remarkably high in pro tein. which is the fleshprodueing sub stance of meat. and is readily digested by the gastric juices.
 Cottonseed four is made from the kernel Of the seed after the oil has been pressed from it. It is highly concentrated food and is in no way intended to replace wheat flour or oth- CT cereals. It could not safely be used as such because an excess of protein is probably as damaging to the human system as the lack of it.

 The handeart was piled high with big bags filled with waste paper-a cumbersome, heavy load that would have been hard to handle anywhere. and was doubly troublesome going up the slope from Nassau street to Broad way. The handcart man had to bend over the bar and push with all his might to keep the load moving at all.
 Coming up behind him was a driver with an empty truck, drawn by pair of big horses. When the driver saw what was ahead, he started up his team a little and skillfuly set the end of the pole square in the middle of the rearmost bag on the handeart. where he could push to the greatest purpose without disturbing the load Thus the horses began to push the handcart up the hill
