The Strike Has Spread to All Parts
of the Kingdom Strikers Say They
Are Not Opposing Employers, But
They Are Against the Government.
Brussels, April 14. The situation
In Belgium, growing out of the so
cialistic demands for universal suffr
age, are darker than jever this morn
ing. At daylight the streets of the
city were quiet, but popular unrest
is only Blumbering; In many quarters
the belief prevails the country Is on
the verge of a, revolution. The situa
tion is aggravated today by. a strike
in many parts of the kingdom. No
sympathy is heard anywhere for King
Leopold, whose gay life has alllenat
ed the people from, him.
Big Riots at Grammo.
Big riots occurred today at Gram
mo. The police.xharged the rioters,
killing two and wounding many. The
strike has spread to all, parts of the
kingdom. The strikers .say they are
not opposing their employers, but the
government.

to act according to the best Interests
of their districts, and thus there will
be no strikeat Ghent, where the tex
tile industry of the country is under
going a crisis, but there will be dem

frage. "The workmen of Brussels, in a
monster meeting, will show to the
government the feeling that exists
here. We are urging the men to re
main absolutely pacific, but minor
conflicts, such as have occurred, are
hardly avoidable, in view of the ex
cited feeling that prevails and the
fact that the younger men are diffi
cult to control, especially in view of
the &ggressive attitude of the police."
Regarding the demonstrations
against the king last Wednesday, he
declared it was quite unpremeditat
ed. "Nevertheless," said he, "we ap
prove it and favor any demonstra
tion of a peaceful character which
will show the king that we want re
vision. It is true that cries of 'Vive
republique' were raised but wo so
cialists favor a republic, though our
immediate aim Is the revision of the
constitution."

A Few Don'ts.
Don't buy food that has been in

food; some times turkeys and llifli
are kept frozen for years. All fresh
meat that has been frozen loses Its
firmness and flavor when allowed to
thaw, which is necessary boforo cook
ing. Firm flBh and fresh moat are
essential to gobd and wholesome liv
ing. You will seo offered for sale
smelts ai.d green smelts, and many
housekeepers do not know tho diff
erence, which is just this: Green
smelts are freshly caught Bmelts;
smelts not bearing this label aro froz

foreign fresh fruits or vegetables
when tho natives are plentiful. Don't
put celery In tho refrigerator Just as
it comes from tho market; wrap it in
a damp cloth, then in paper and lay
