The strike began among tie en-

eminent modified the strikers but the
tramway conductors refused TO take
the cars out under military orders and
were arrested and taken to the fort

Finally the Madrid government
obliged the light and power company
to concede the demands Of the men
hut the army authorities refused the
demand of the union that the impris-

The general strike ensued and the
city was left without lieht. power or

for stating that the strike leaders had

FOOD EXPERT WRITER
SAYS THAT JIFFY-JELL
BARRIER TO GLUTT0NY

Alfred w. Mccain, the food expert,
writing in the New York Globe, says
that the greatest virtue of Jiffy-Jell
is as a barrier to gluttony.
The average persons greatly over
eats. One follows a big dinner with
a hearty dessert, too tempting to
refuse. And that Is often the final
straw.
Jiffy-Jell supplies a dessert which
is healthful and enticing, yet it does
not tax the stomach. The body OF
the dessert is formed by a little CELIA
tine, sweetened and calculated, dis
solved in pint of water. The flavor
is a fruit juice essence made from the
fruit itself.
A few years ago a large wholesale
grocery house in New York discontin-
ued the sale of all so called fruit flaw
ors save lemon and orange The
reason given was that other fruit
flavors could not be manufactured,
so synthetic others, etc, had to be
substituted.
But the makers of Jiffy-Jell have
found a way to supply these true
fruit flavors. They make them by
condensing fruit juice. Then they
seal them in glass vials-a bottle IN
each package-so they keep.
Thus Jiffy-Jell is bringing to mill
lions, a true-fruit dinner-ender. 1t
supplies the delights and the health
fitness of fruit. And, like fruit, it
does not tax an overloaded stomach.
Mr.. Mccain says THAI Jiffy-Jell
has done more to put Waukesha on
the map than all the Waukesha
