Amsterdam, Dec. 10-—The business

Paris, Dec. 10.—Telepraphic com-
| munication with Portugal is being re-
I established, according to a Havas dis-
patch from Jose, Spain, near the fron-
I tier.
Lisbon dispatches say the uprising
there was among the military, the en-
tire garrison taking part. The gov-
ernment troops were defeated after
24 hours' fighting when the govern-
ment resigned and its force surren-
dered.
The revolutionists have published a
manifesto affirming all allied causes
and promising to maintain the inter-
national obligation of the nation.
to three billion marks distributed over
12,000 breweries. The latter control
wholly or partly 330,000 retail busi-
ness. employing some 800,000 per-
sons.
Concentration of labor and saving
of fuel is the line which the authori-
ties have adopted with ever increasing I
severity; needless severity, so the I
brewers say. The f-ct that tht coal
supply has been cut down by one-half,
solved i na measure the concentration
problem, because it ha sautomatically
brougth numerous small breweries to
a standstill.
Among tht north German beer pro-
ducers, a bitter feeling exists against
the Bavarian brewers. The former
complain tftat the Bavarians have
been, and are being, unduly favored
in the matter of obtaining barley and
malt. Rumors are current that it has
been found necessary to placate the
people of Bavaria, who have suffered
cruel losses in men during the war.
Meanwhile, Bavaria remains the para-
dise of beer drinkers from the Pros-
sian point of view, although the qual-
ity of the beverage is such that the
popular verdict is "that it is fet and
that's about all."

London, Dec. 10.—The center of re-
volt in southeastern Russia under the
leadership of Generals Kaladines,
DutofT and Kornloff is apparently
aimed at sesession, and breaking the
Bolshevikl authority in that region
and cutting off the food supplies from
Serbia.
According to the Bolsheviki proc-
lamation the Kaledine forces are men-
acing Ekaterinolav, Kherkiv and Mos-
cow, and the province of Oredenug
where the Bolsheviki has been over
thrown by Dutoff.
The proclamation claims a constitu
tional democratic party is providing
for a revolt.

HANDS NEVER TOUCH THE
DOUGH OR BREAD BAKED
AT BUSY BEE BAKERY
The most modem appliances for
baking has been established in the
Busy Bee bakery on North Ohio ave
nue, so that all bread and pastries
turned out are absoluely sanitary. In
stead of putting the hands in the
dough as was the wont in baking the
Busy Bee now has machinery to do
this.
From the time the flour is placed in
a vat ready for mixing until the bread
is wrapped for sale the hands never
touch it. Machinery mixes the
dough, chopps it into loaves the regu-
lation size; they are put into the oven
on sanitary scoops, taken out by the
same method and wrapped in paper
by machinery.

a steady improvement, falling from
78 to 1,000 men in peace times to 56.

Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. 10.—The
city's industries as well as the opera-
tion of several mines in the county are
completely paralyzed as the result of a
general strike inaugurated Saturday
by the central trades and labor as-
sembly, in sympthy with the striking
girl employes of the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company.
Because of the interference with
coal production, the traction com-
pany's power plant which furnishes
power for operating the mines, hopes
to secure the fuel administration's in-
tervention to the extent that power
and light may be had. The city was
in complete darkness last night.

pany left this morning for Mineola,
