STATE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
is INVESTIGATING EMPLOY
MENT CONDITIONS.
ElGHT-HOUR Law is FAVORED
Minimum Wage Question Will Be
Taken Up-Hearings to Be Held
in Different Cities of
Wisconsin,.

Madison-The Wisconsin industrial
commission has big program OF OPP
erations scheduled in investigating
the eight-hour labor for women.
Members of the commission have been
holding hearings in Milwaukee re-
Gently and these Investigations will be
conducted in different cities of the
state.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to secure such data as vii enable 1t
TO take action on the eighr-hour prop
osjtion and in order to secure this, IL
dustries and employments for women
generally will be investigated.
Peculiarly, in connection will the
work the commission is now doing in
the way of investigation, Commission
er Beck seems to indicate that the
commission in Wisconsin has already
arrived al conclusions favorable to the
eight-hour work law fof women. As
stated in interviews credited to Com
missioner Beck purporting to be his
conclusions he quite specifically in
dicated that the Wisconsin commits
sion favored the eight-hour require
ment.
This interview was commented up
ON here, because, If the commission
had arrived at conclusions the neces-
sity of holding further Investigations
and devoting time TO the proposition
seemed not only futile for the com
mission but to those appearing before
it,
Coupled with the eight-hour PROPOSE
tion is the minimum wage for women
question. AS soon as the commission
reaches conclusions upon the first, it
is probable that Investigations will be
made of the wage question. The com
mission has full power to act in in
itiating the eighthour law

Unfcrmented Crane Juice

By JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG, M. d.. I

THE Farmers Bulletin, No. 17S, issued
L by the United states Department of
Agriculture, gives the following method for
putting up unfermented grape juice, sup
ply of which should be kept in every house
hold:
-, Use only clean, sound well.ripened,
but not overrpe grapes. The grapes may
be crushed and pressed in a portable
cider or wine mill or by hand. These can
be put in cleanly washed cloth sack and
hung up, or the sack can be twisted by
hand until the juice is expressed
The juice should be gradually heated
in a pan Of hot water. so that It does not
come in direct contact with the fire, at
a temperature of los degrees to 200 de-
grces Fahrenheit If there is no ther-
mometer at hand, heat the juice until it
steams, but do not allow 1t to boil. Put it
In n glass or enameled vessel to settle for
twenty-four hours; carefully drain the
juice from the sediment and run it through
several thicknesses of clean flannel or a
comic filter made from wooIen cloth or
felt may be used This filter is fixed to
a hoop which can be suspended whenever
necessary.
Fill into perfectly clean bottles Qeav.
ing little space at the top for the liquid
to expand when heated Fit thin board

fill with water around the bottles to With
in about an inch of the tops and gradu-
ally heat until it is about TO simmer. Then
take the bottles out and cork seal i'm
medately. Grape juice prepared in this
way will keep perfectly fresh for an in
definite time, and will always be ready
for immediate use.

Not all Of the thirteen original States
have flowers and there is no printed record
Of their flags or COors. The Historical So
c!ety upon being consulted about this, sug-
gested that one would have 10 write 70 the
various State houses in order 10 get this
information. The flowers of those States
that have them are as follows: Maine
pine cone; Connecticut mountain laurel :;
New York, rose; Delaware peach blossom ;
Maryland, Black-eyed Susan; Georgia,
Cherokee rose; Pennsylvania, GOLDEN
rod, and New Jersey, sugar maple tree.
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia have
no State flowers.
more intimate way to picture the States
than by depending on color or flowers would
be to pick out some bit of history for
which the State is famous. For instance.
in the case Of Massachusetts you might
make the Boston tea party the subject of

OF Penn with the Indians: in New York.
