The way women trifie with health
shows degree of Indifference that is
past understanding. Happiness and
usefulness depend on physical health;
so does good disposition. Disease
makes women nervous, irritable and
snappish. The very effort of ailing
women to be good-natured makes them
nervous. Write to Mrs. Pinkham, She
will help you to health and happiness.
ltcosts nothing to get Mrs. Pinkham's
advice. Her address is Lynn, Macs.

WHAT ALOAF OF BREAD COSTS
Result OF Series of Investigations by
Professor Snyder.

Result OF u Series of Investigations by
Professor Snyder.
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 cuiege. The paper contrib
uted by Prof. Snyder relates the ex-
periments made at the Minnesota uni
versity IN bread making. 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 a
pound of flour, about Is per cent OF VA
ter being added to the -four during the
process of bread making. With some
flour S to 10 per cent more water can
be absorbed. making greater weight
of bread from a given weight of -four
This additional weight is water and
not nutrients. At 9 cents a pound for
-four 1t is estimated by Prof. Snyder
that a pound loaf can be made, not
counting fuel and labor, for about .
cents, one-haif cent being allowed for
shortening and yeast The loss Of dry
matter in bread making is usually con-
sidered as amounting to about per
cent of the -four used. In exceptional
cases, as in prolonged fermentation,
under favorable conditions the loss
may amount to per cent or more.

II is said that women are much
more interested and harder working
students than men, and that brings I'D
the question about why the women in
co-educational colleges walk off with
the honors as often as they do, to the
dismay Of the men. In 4 recent peace
argument on the subject one Of the ag-
srieveG men said that it was because
the women were under no obligation
to keep up the standing Of q college II
sports, while the men couldn't settle
down to mere grinding, they are too
busy. The discussion was about one
of the mems colleges, whose students
object to the presence OF young woIn-
en-. 1t seems very unreasonable, in
deed, for them to feel that way: but
when they turn the tables and ask
how the students in a wCman'6 college
would fee! to have three or four young
men in each class; its different again.

Through the opening recently by
Grand Duke Vladimir of the new naval
stronghold and seaport Of Ekaterin-
insk, Russia may be said to enter upon
new era OF considerable Importance,
not only to Great Britain but also to
the United States. For in Ekaterin-
iHsk she obtains for the first time a
seaport on the Atlantic open -. the
year round. whence her northern fleet
can sally forth at will to The Atlantic
ocecn without any danger CT its being
shut up in the Baltic sea. Until now
the northern half of Russias navy has
been practically useless during the
whole of each winter-that is to say,
for nearly six mcnlns Of the year-ow-
ing to the ice in the Baltic, while in
the event of war it would be the cas-
lest thing in the world for Sweden and
Germany combined, or even one OF
these two powers separately, to bar the
entrance Of the Baltic and thus pre-
vent the eSress Of the Russian fleet.
The entrance to the Baltic is so mar
row and so difficult that it may be
said to be commanded by the guns of
