MADISON. Wis. March Labor Commissioner J. D. Beck, in his report on the l.

license law, shows that the law has been of great benefit in compelling sanitary conditions in bakeries and in several other ways. C. J. Kremer, in liis investigation of ttie conditions in bakeries, shows that during the year bakers applied for licenses stnd that of tins number tioO were granted them. Some of the others ilid not come under the provisions of the laws and so did not need licenses.

Hecox, who for twenty-seven years has tendered the light of the Santa Cruz lighthouse, has hut recently returned to her post from the last of the six vacations she has taken during that period. Since 1881 this woman has had absolute charge of the light, and in all that time it has never gone out during the night. Miss Ilccox followed her father in charge of the light, lie was a retired clergyman, who took the work of caring for the light when his health broke down under the stress of his pastoral duties. With him went his wife and girl, who cared for him as well as the light. During the thirteen years her hither was in charge Miss Hecox was practically the real mistress of the lighthouse.

When his death came she applied for and obtained the work. Since that time she has been steadily at it, cleaning, tending and watching the light that it may be never dimmed. Then her mother died in the old lighthouse and the woman was left alone with her work. She loves it and Is never satisfied if she is away from it for long. Her only recreation is an occasional visit to her brother, who lives at Oceanside, and gathering in sea specimens, a collection of which she recently gave to the Santa Cruz library.

Fortunately for Miss Hecox the Santa Cruz lighthouse is not built on a rockbound coast, but is bowered among trees. The light is modem, of twelve candlepower multiplied by reflectors to something like 665-candlepower. During the twenty-seven years it has been tended by Miss Hecox no ship has been wrecked on the Santa Cruz Angeles Times. REALIZE How Injurious Coffee Really Was.
