GOOD BREAKFASTS.


The breakfast is perhaps the most i'm
portant meal of the day. Europeans
usually eat a very light breakfast. Many
Americans have stomach trouble because
they eat too much or food of not the right
sort for the morning meal. An ideal
breakfast is a baked apple or some other
fruit, dish of Grape-Nuts Food with a
little cream, and cup OF Postum Food
Coffee
Leave off all meat, hot biscuits, etc.
Grape-Nuts and Postum both furnish the
phosphate of potash together with other
food elements that go to make up brain
and nerve centers as well as muscle and
tissue. and both can be dgested by the
stomach of an infant.
1t Is the part of wisdom nowadays to
are food especially selected for nourish-
ment and that can be easily digested.

fully admits that the divorce evil is rapidly
growing more popular and continues
st1'he returns of 1890, the latest We have,
showed that in that year two in every 2,072
of our population were divorced persons; thai
3, 402 persons were divorced in the Stale OF
Massachusetts alone, and that the total mum
Der of persons divorced in the United States
annually was 60, asa. Taking into account
our increase ofpopulation since 1890, it must
be approximately true that $4,000 persons
will be divorced during the current year in
this country.
ssThe increase of American divorce has been
remarkably rapid No longer ago than 1870
only 30 per cent. of marriages were dissolved
by the courts. In 1900 the percentage was 8,
and if the same rate of increase is kept up the
closing year of the twentieth century will find
58.8 per cent. of all American marriages DIS
solved by the courts In other words the year
1000, if we go on as we are going, will find
more divorced than married persons living in
the country.
''The divorces granted in all other civilized
countries put together do not equal the num-
Der granted in the United States. And while
our population is growing at the rate of %

The Ballot, Not the Strike.

Some $4,000 machinists went on strike last
Monday, to enforce demand for nine-honi
day with ten hours pay. The result, as usual,
will be loss Of time If the machinists event.
ually win, the probability is that the loss Of
wages during the strike will scarcely be made
up in two years.
And in ninety mine times out of hundred
labor loses in conflicts with capital. There is
nothing so irresistible as capital. The only
place where labor is equal to capital-in TACT
superior-is at the polls. There the ballot OF
the laborer is equal to that of his employer.
But at the polls is the place where labor loses.
The laboring man, instead of standing firm
and independent, allows himself to be infiu-
enced against his own interests. After his
vote is obtained he can lookout for hiuself the
best he can. He can work for whatever is
offered him, or he can quit.
The strength of labor lays in the ballot, not
in the strike. The laboring men will not
prosper much until they know the value OF the
ballot and use it for their own interests.

The city Of Cumberland did well last Mon
day. when il voted by more than one thous-
and majority against accepting a gift OF s2o,-
600 from Andrew Carnegie for city library.
The gift was accompanied by a proposition
that Cumberland provide $1,000 a year to
keep up the library. In other words Andrew
Carnegie was to perpetuate his name at the
exnense of the citizens of Cumberland and
the voters saw through the scheme.
Andrew Carnegie some ten or twelve years
ago was loo poor TO grant his employees
small increase in wages. On the contrary he
hired Pinkerton detectives to shoot them
down like dogs. We do not endorse the acts
of violence by the men. They were wrong.
There would not have been any violence If the
small demand of the men had been granted.
Carnegie said he could not afford 10 increase
wages, but few years later he discovered that
he had so many millions Of dollars he did not
know what TO do with them. He then be-
came philanthropist, and began giving away
his money, provided that the cities in which
he proposed to establish Carnegie libraries
would provide money TO maintain the libra
ries.
II would have been better had Mr.. Carnegie
paid living wages to his men, rather than
starve and shoot them down, than to now be
giving away millions to perpetuate his mem
DRY, with provisos that cfies to-receive MS
bounty must put up money to maintain them:
The maintenance is very expensive.
We have not much faith in Carnegie's phi
lanthrophy. If he wanted to do something
for humanity, he should have given sufficient
money in every instance TO have made the
libraries self-sustaining. That he did not IS
sufficient proof that he was aiming 1t the
perpetuation ofhis own name at the public
expense rather than aiming at good to the
general public.

buildings, Fort McHenry and Locust Point.
At the latter place the German steamer Der

Standard Oil Trusts Profits.

"On March Is last, notes the Phiadelp hia
North American, ''the Standard Oil Trust
paid a dividend of $40, 900, and another
dividend of $12, 600, 900 has been declared for
the two months ending Nay Is, making to-
tai of $252, 900, 900 in seven years.
"John D. Rockefeller, who owns nearly a
third of the trusts stock, takes $40, 000 900 as
his share of the profits of five months bust
ness. That is at the rate of $24, 200, 600 for
the year; and it is probable that the years
actual total gains will be even greater.
mr. Rockefeller recently stated that the
Standard Oil Trust pays about $22, 900, O0s II
year in wages TO workingmen, little less than
his individual share of the profits. and that in
80 years he has paid between 5000, 0OO, 900
and 500, 600, 600 to laboring men. He did
not say what the profits of those 30 years were,
but as dividends amounting to nearly half the
wages of 80 have accrued In seven years it is
probable that the profits have equaled the ex-
penses of the trust. :"
