COST OF A LOAF OF BREAD.
Result OF Series of InvestigationA
by Prof. snyder, OF
Minnesota.

An interesting contribution to a Sc
ries Of publications being issued by the
department Of agriculture, embracing
investigations into the food and nutri-
ton of man, has been made by Prof.
Harry Snyder, of the Minnesota agri-
cultural college. The paper contributed
by Prof. Snyder relates the expert
ments made at the Minnesota univer-
sity in breadmaking. The average
pound loaf" of fresh bread as sold by
bakers, says the professor, weighed on
an average about one pound one ounce.
a pound loaf OF bread can be made from
about three-quarters of pound of
-four, about 25 per cent. of water being
added to the -four during the process
OF breadmaking. With some -four five
to ten per cent. more water can be a b.
sorbed, making a greater weight of
bread from given weight of -four.
This additional weight is water and
not nutrients. AT two cents pound
for -four, it is estimated by Prof. Sny-
der that pound loaf of bread can be
made, not counting fuel and labor, for
about two cents, one-half cent being
allowed for shortening and yeast. The
loss of dry matter in breadmaking is
usually considered as amounting to
about two per cent. of the -four used.
In exceptional eases, as in prolonged
fermentation, under favorable condi-
tions the losses may amount TO eight
per cent. or more.

Dom Paul's Cold Feet.

his feet. The weather was cold and
there was a blazing fire. He no more
saw the harm of toasting his unshod
feet than his ungloved hands before it.
Dom Paul had principles and stood by
them. Whenever his eye caught lady

NO RICE OR OLD SHOES.
Rev. Father G,llen Prohibits Their
Use at Weddings In His Charch
at Paterson, N. j.

Persons contemplating matrimony
will be interested to learn that an anti
rice ordinance has been promulgated
by Rev. Charles p. Gillen, pastor of ST..
Joseph's Roman Catholic church. Pater-
son. N. j., and that he stands ready TO
call upon the police for help in abolish
ing the old pagan practice. On Sunday
night he said from the pulpit: ''Such
scenes as have been witnessed at some
weddings here are nothing less than a
scandal to the church. IL it were not
for the antiquity of this silly custom OF
throwing rice and old shoes after u new
ly-wedded pair it would be incompre-
hensible that members of any church
should mar one of the most solemn
and beautiful occasions of life by an ex-
hibition of stupid and vulgar and ir.
reverent horse-play."

ENGLISH AND IRISH.
Been Able to UnderstanA
Each Other.

That the English and the Irish, liv-
ing under the same physical conditions,
should have the most opposite charac-
teristics of any two people in the world
is one of the mysteries. The physical
conditions of the two races are almost
Identical. Ireland, like England, being
insular, with surface marked by mod
crate Irregularities and possessing a
moist and equabl climate, the chief
differences being that Ireland is rather
more mountainous than England and
its climate being little milder and
wetter. Yet the two peoples are sharp
ly contrasted in temperament and char
acter. The Irish are as impulsive, mer-
curial, humorous and unme tiiodical as
the English are stolid, orderly and prac-
tical. In war the Irish are most sue
cessful in attack, the English in de-
fense. The Irishman enters into matri-
mony with his heart only, the English
man calculates the cost of marriage be-
fore making a proposal. Irish liter
ature is more witty, more tender, more
glowing than English, but is less solid
and enduring. The contrast of charac-
ter is most strikingly demonstrated by
the fact that the two nations, during
an intercourse of more than seven CEN
turies, haze never been able to thor
oughly understand each Sther. and,
apart from artificial difficulties manu-
factured by nnscrupu}ous agitators, the
real differences between the two coun-
tries have been entirely due to mutual
Misunderstanding of each others char
acttrjs3;cs.

A Calling That Is Full Of Hardship
and Makes But Small
Return,

The amount of st,.F that is written,
and presumably read, about models
nowadays leads one to suppose that the
life of these men and women is very
pleasant and delectable. Like most fig
ures of realistic" fiction, says the Phil
adelphia Press, this one is not quite
real. One of the few good models of
Philadelphia said the other day: "For
class work get four dollars week and
work as many hours day, going on
the stand at s:45 and posing until 12:45,
with a rest of ten minutes in every 60.
The head model has to do just as much
posing of the body as any other, and
gets less money. However, it's one OF
the few lines of business where women
do better than men. The latter don't
seem to have the required bodily en-
durence. Put yourself in the most COM
Portable position and try to remain so,
unmoved, for five minutes, and you'll
understand something of what have
to go through for ten times that long
without break. For that reason most
models prefer to pose for male classes.
Men, always Aave more consideration.
A woman painter will make you stand
till her own hand is tired with the
brush. Yet in the studio of the most
considerate one must undergo torture.
There is lot Of pity given to factory
girls, of which little might be ex-
tended to us, for the fact is that there is
u
gage where she will suffer so much fa-
tigue and get SO little remuneration as
that of an artists model"

HOW TO HAVE A PICNIC.
Those Who Follow This Advice Will
he Sure to EntOy the
Occasion.

Before many weeks we will wake up
some fine morning to find out that the
leaves on the trees have begun to
blush with pride just before their fall
and that summer has gone. Then we
will hear from all sides: "Oh, why
didn't do this or that? intended to
all summer-but didn't get around to
it, and now il is too late!" says the
Detroit Free Press.
One of the things to be deplored will
be that more time was not spent in the
open air-at the parks, on the river
and at nearby country places. 1t is so
easy to set out the summer doing
nothing. But it is bad habit, for
when winter comes again ii seems like
an old story and isn't half so welcome
as If the summer had been spentin COM
plete change. This is genuine old-fash-
ioned picnic season, and the picnic
ought not to be despised. Nothing is 80
delightfully."- unconventional; and re-
taxation, of course, is the basis of rest.
But 1t is great mistake to think that
q picnic is not success unless the en-
tire party is reused out of bed at sun
rise and the lunch big enough to feed
regiment. Quantity there must be, of
course, for everybody expects to eat too
much, but more than anything else,
have the lunch q dainty one. One
doesn't mind grasshopper or two in
the lemonade or a family reunion of
ants on the cake-but if the sandwiches
are thick and the cake is dry and other
things are in the same black list not
even picnic appetite will be satisfied.

CL ARK BABY IS FOUND
Little Marion Shows Much Rouph
Handling.
IN A NEW YORK VILLAGE
Was Discovered at Farm House With
the Woman Who Abducted Her.
She Gives No Ex-
PLANTATION

Garnerville, N. Y June 1,-Marion
Clark, the 21-monthsold cbi1d kid
mapped from her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Clark of New York city. on
May 21, was discovered two miles
south of Sloatsburg, village about
eight miles from here, this afternoon
She was found at the farm house of
Charles Youmans and was in the cus-
tody of Mrs. Jennie Wilson, who took
the baby to the place during the early
part of last week. Mrs. Wilson was
accompanied by her husband and stat
ed to Mrs. YoumanS that she wanted
board for the little girl for the sum-
mer.
Mrs. Wilson said that she had made
arrangements with her husband to send
all correspondence to her by way of
the st. Johns postoffice, which is a few
miles from Sloatsburg Mrs. Wilson
called at the ST. Johns postoffice a
number of times during the past few
days.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Wilson went
to the postoffice, taking Marion with
her, as she had done on several occa-
sions before.
The Clark baby attracted the country
people by her appearance, her large
blue eyes and pink complexion being
particularly noticeable The curiosity
which the child aroused made her cap
tors grow uneasy and they kept her
closely confined at the Youmans
home
AS soon as the story of the abducted
child reached the neighborhood, the
people began to suspect that the child
was Marion Clark They felt positive
of it, because the child wore the same
clothes as at the time when she was
stolen. AS soon as Deputy Sheriff
William III. Charleston learned of the
abduction, he taking his clues from pic
lures of the child and the descriptions
given him by people who saw her, went
to the farm house of Charles Youmans
and found Mrs. Wilson, from whom he
demanded the child.
Mrs. Wilson was indignant and
claimed she knew nothing whatever of
the child. The deputy sheriff produced
warrant, arrested the woman and de-
manded information as to the where
abouts of the child.
At this Mrs. Wilson weakened and
| made a confession The baby was then
produced and the sheriff took both
prisoner and child to Magistrate Her
bert at West Haverstraw. Mrs. Will
son refuses to make a full statement.
She is the daughter of Mrs. J. J. Nc
Nally of Goshen. n. Y, to whom she
wrote a letter explaining her plight.
Marion Clark, the child, is in good
health. She has no hat and she shows
much rough handling. Her clothing is
also much soiled. The identified ton is
complete, even to the red birthmark
described in the circulars issued by the
chief of police Of New York
Arthur Clark, the father Of the ab
6ncta6 babv arrived here at 40
o'clock this evening, accompanied by
Sergeant Morris of Captain McClusky's
staff. Mr.. Clark Immediately identified
the child as his lost Marion.

faces and that they would find out to-
morrow that there were no differences

and such organization would win for
them the confidence of the president

street this morning that Ackerman had
committed suicide, but DR.. Holt C.

death was due to heart trouble. from
which Ackerman was a sufferer for
several years. Mr.. Ackermap was ap-

AT any rate, he lapsed into a condi-
ton of unconSciousness soon afterward,
from which he never recovered.
DR.. Holt G. Wilson was called at II
o'clock, and seeing that his condition
was critical had him removed to the
Good Samaritan hospital This morn

MOSS INDIGNANT.
An Ontburst of Anger at His Treatment
by Witnesses.


New York, June 1.-The session of the
Mazet committee to-day was noticea-
BILE mainly for two points, one the turn
ing at bay of Mr.. Moss and the other
evidence regarding the existence in this
city of the most frightful forms of de-
pravity.
By far the greater part of the ses-
sion was devoted to the examination
of President Feitner and Commission
ers Hoey, both of the tax board. Their
evidence merely went to show the long
established inefficiency of the system
of personal taxation and resulted in
nothing sensational.
Mr.. Moss opened the session with an
outburst of indignation against the
way in which witnesses had treated
him. He demanded the protection of
the committee and announced his in
tention of bringing Police Captain
Price before the committee to make him
prove the charges he made yesterday
against Mr.. Moss. During this heated
appeal from the committees counsel,
DR.. O'Sulivan. who appears for the
city departments, frequently in
terrupted and in intense anger Mr..
Moss demanded that DR.. OSullivan be
denied the privilege of participating
in the proceedings.
Mr.. Mazet upheld Mr.. Moss and Dr.
O'Sullivan was rebuked, but allowed
to remain in the committee room. The
evidence regarding the fragrant exist
ence of the worst forms of vice was
given by two of Mr.. Moss agents. 1t
established the fact that under the eyes
of the police there were running on the
Bowery the vilest OF, resorts patronized
nightly by persons of the lowest social
standing

message in bottle if possible. She

portion of the crew, reached one of
the Aleutian islands and are still alive
