The bread looked good and was good.

The curiosity of a man who saw the

There's, nothing remarkable about
it." said the proprietor, with laugh.
II simply buy it for horse feed. We
grind the bread up, and mix it with
other feed and it makes first-class food
for horses. 1t is stale bread and costs
us 40 cents a barrel and there are fifty
or sixty loaves to the barrel, so you see
it comes pretty cheap. Some of the
bread is only a day old and Is good
enough FOR any man to eat, but the
bread factories cannot sell it. What
you see here are returned loavcs from

The last month Of the year Is one when
the business world cleans house and
makes preparations for the new year, and
q slight lull is noted in some branches
of trade. Manufacturing plants which

During the present month the greatest
activity will probably be in the retail

HARD WORK.

Compared to These the American La.
borer Is Fortunate.
At least 100000 Chinese earn liv
ing by the most arduous labor. They
are carriers and their task Is to trans
port from 100 to $50 pounds from 1 to
40 miles. In Canton, carrier thinks
nothing of burden of the latter weight,
and men can be hired who will
transport 100 pounds 60 miles in
two days at a lower cost than
1t could be sent by freight in
this country. In Russia 1t is not an I'M
common sight to see women working
in rock quarries. A vast amount Of the
hardest work on the canals of Central
America has been done by men, women
and children, who carry away basket
loads of earth on their heads. 1t Is a
fact that the development of South
America has been retarded by the work
of these people. A vice president of the
Mexican, National Railroad has said
that the poems were dangerous rivals
in the transportation business, and that
il they could be kept idle for the next
three years there would be three times
as much activity I'm railroad develop
ment. Not only this, but the turning Of
a man into n beast keeps the people
ignorant and the country backward.
This feature of labor in South Amer
ica is remarkable. Roads and trails
have been cut across the Andes, not for
horses nor for railroads. Over them
thousands of men travel bearing enor-
nous loads, and their endurance is
greater than that of animals. In Qua
temala almost all the transportation is
done by the people. Produce is carried
on the heads of men and women, and

God Needs the Help OF Mothers.

1.-The grave mistake Of depressing
children" writes Barbetta Brown in the
Ladies' Home Journal, us caused by
the mothers failure to be keen enough
to see where she may touch a child's
life and where she may not; where it is
for her to guide, to help. to encourage,
and where the child-life is sacred to
Itself alone. That the child is another
individual never occurs to some moth
ers, nor that he has his own posi-
bilities for growth, not to be tempered
with; his own privacies. not to be in
vaded his own holy of holies,' to be
held holy. The Power that Is working
in the vast life Of this universe Is work
ing In your son or daughter as part of
1t; and 1t has its own purpose in regard
to each child life as surely as for each
planet In it's orbit. God needs mucf
help from mothers. but God does not
intend to be effaced by mothers. Co
operate. then, with the Power working
through your children. mothers. DO not
make the great mistake of attempting

Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for a child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able tc
control the passage, and it is yet afflicted
with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the
cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble
and the first step should be towards tbs
treatment of these important organs This
unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased
condition of the kidneys and bladder and
not to a habit as most people suppose,
If the adult has rheumatism pain Oh

in irregular quantities; or at irregular
intervals or has bad odor; if it stains the

make butter and cheese fol the entire

that interruptions mon have cornered
