LIQUID BREAD.

l once remember once seeing over a
public house door in Liverpool: GOOD
ale is liquid bread" l went into the
house and said: "Get me a quart of
liquid bread"
The landlord said; "Ah, first rate
sign, isn't itp"
Yes" said l, "If it's true"
'oh, it's true enough, my beer is all
right"
well, give me a bottle to take
home" He gave me a bottle of this
liquid bread. l took it to DR.. Sameul-
son, an analytical chemist, and | said
to him: II want you to tell me how
much bread there is in this bottle.n
He smelled 1t and said: ITS beer"
mo, no." l said, tits liquid bread -
WELL" he said, "if you come again
in a week, I'll tell you all about it,
lie charged me three guineas. In a
week 8 time l went to know all about
the liquid bread. The first thing about
it was that there was ninety three per
cent. of water.
Its liquid, anyhow" I said, "well
pass that. Now let's 60 on to the
bread"
alcohol, five per cent
"What ia alCoholpD I said.
There's a dictionary, you can hunt
it up for yourself" l hunted it up,
and found alcohol described as a pow.
erful narcotic poison" "Well," |
thought, this is the queerest descrip-
ton OF bread / ever read in my life
Then he gave me a number of small
percentages of curious things, which
he had put carefully down on each
corner of a piece of white paper, and
which amounted to about a quarter of
a lhimbleful of dirty looking powder.
That was the bread-two per cent.
And there would not be so much as
that said DIR. Samuelson, "if it we're
Bass or Allsopp's. This is bad beer.n
$50 the better the beer the less bread
there is in it?n
Certainly. 1t is the business of the
brewer to get the bread out of it, not
to put bread into it," This is the sim
pie, scientific truth with regard to beer
n the case is stronger with regard to
wine and spirits. There is practically
no nourishment in them at all.
AN APPEAL To WOMEN.
Do you realize that not less than ten
million birds are killed every year to
stock the millinery stores of civilized
Europe and America, that you may
decorate your hat or bonnet with their
feathersp
Do you realize that for every murder.
cd bird there are left at least two young,
helpless, starving nestlings to die, cry
ing piteously and in vain for food?
Do you realize that insects multiply
prodigiously-many at the ratio of one
to one hundred thousand or more every
year-that if not checked, vegetation
would be ruined; that the cutworms
alone, to say nothing of the gipsy
moth are destroying whole crops, and
that these ten million birds would have
eaten and fed to their young not less
1000, 600, 900, 900 insect pests every year?
Yet the birds were killed that YOU
might wear their e Gathers, and m
times their whole bodies, cured with
arsenic, on your bonnets. Millions of
sweet notes hushed, and trillions of in.

horses and cattle. For WHAT A cruel

Do you realize that no musical in
strument ever invented can begin to
equal the melody of our native warb.
lers, and that within the last ten years
100, 600 900 of these sweet songsters
have been killed for you? Are you go
trivial and cruel as to kill a song bird
for the sake of wearing its fea.hersp
Mother heart, do you realize that
whole species of plumage birds have
been exterminated, that their bleeding
bodies decay in heaps on the coast of
Floriday, Louisiana and California,
and that every egret plume that you
wear represents a murdered heron, and
is an incentive to your boy or some.

what does 1t cost, this garniture of death?
1t costs the life which God alone can give;
1t costs dull silence where was music's
breath
1t costs dead JOY that foolish pride may
live.
All, life and JOY and song, depend upon it,
