ND you ever walk through the
- housefurnishing department Of a
department store? You learn more about
household improvements and convent
ences in two minutes than you could
learn any other way in two weeks. Now
for instance. today I came across the
sink strainers. II is not necessary for
me to say that it is not only unhealth
full. but mighty unhandy as we'll to
have the kitchen sink get stopped up.
And yet it is easily possible. unless one
has sink straincr, which costs the
modest sum of ten cents. 1t fits over
the drain, has tiny holes through which
no hard substance can percolate and
should mean real comfort.
Then there is the rubber strainer and
Splash absorbor" that fits right over
the spigot. You have no doubt had the
experience Of turning on generous flow
of water and having ii splash all over
the floor. to say nothing of your own
skirt. This contraption, then, fits over
the spigot, as ! have said and re-
strains the water to steady, even
stream. Incidentally. being rubber il
takes away the hard quality of that
spigot and prevents your breaking dishes
when you accidentally knock them
against it. The price Of this is also 10
cents.

His tongue began to water as he sus-

Then, toward the end of the day,
when she was all dressed for supper in

Mysterious Indictments

Conferences have been held in
New York during the past week
between the officials and commit
tee of the anthracite miners and
the operators endeavoring to reach
a new contract in that field, as the
present agreement expires April l.
The miners are demanding an in
crease of so per cent.
At Indianapolis a special grand
jury created by Judge Anderson has
returned an indictment charging
conspiracy in violation of the Lever
fuel control act and the Federal
criminal code, naming l25 coal
operators and nsiners as defend
ants. Bond was fixed by Judge
Anderson at $4,000 in some of
the cases and $4,000 in others.
Considerable mystery surrounds
these indictments, as none of the
names has been made public. The
defendants are to be arraigned in
court on May 4. 1t is understood
many of the violation charges have
no connection with the strike of BIZ
luminous miners but occurred prior
to signing of the armistice.
