eReAD ON COOPERATIVE PLAN.
How Workingmsn Get Better Loavss at
Cheaper Prices

4 SUVoR~s 1--WE
In Belgium workingmen are enjoying
the benefit of cooperative bakeries.
These establishments have brought down
the price of bread to such an extent as
| to drive many of the smaller bakeries
out of business. The cooperative bakery
is an institution that not only gives
cheap bread, but good bread. II is a
protest against the inordinate profits Of
the bakers as well as against the dirty,
unsanitary condition Of their factories.
The new system of cooperative bread
making is an unqualified success.
At such cities as Brussels, Client.
Antwerp and Liege the cooperative bak-
cries regulate the bread market. They
set the standard for both the consumers
and the producers. Their products are
subjected to rigorous analysis and criti-
cism. In these bakeries the eight-hour
work day is regulated on a system of
three shifts. The working stats par
tlcipate in the profits of the undertaking
They have encouraged the organization
OF the workmen employed in the bak-
cries into unions, which discuss. ex-
anime and propose measures likely to be
a benefit or improvement to the bread
making business.
The rules of the cooperative bakeries
are simple. They sell only for cash.
They do not sell at the lowest prices
possible, but they guarantee to deliver
bread of the very best quality and con-
tanning the highest possible percentage
of nourishment. They adhere to the
:."deration of cooperative societies and
its REGULATIONS. They allow to the en-
ployes, managers and staff share in
The profits. They distribute the profits
according to the amount of purchases.
They interest the co-operators, especi-
ally the women, in the management of
he business, and induce them to think
lbout and discuss the solution of social
problems. They exercise serious con-
rol over the business through the in
ermediary of trusted administrative
ounsel. The bookkeeping and business
arrangements are all clear and simple.
The recent exposures of the unhealthy
onditions under which bread-making is
onducted in New York have suggested
o many Journeymen bakers the posi-
ility of establishing similar cooperative
akeries here. The manufacture of bread |,
! dirty, unlighted and germ-hlled cellars

As People Come and Go,

When woman tells you she can't
understand why you care for her when
there are so many more beautiful than
she who would be fattered by your

A woman may forgive the one who has
talked about her to the neighbors, but
not the mean thing who failed to return
her call.
One reason why there are so MANY
bachelors now is that men are never
asked any more to hold skeins of yarn

Wicker Furniture.

The new wicker furniture is more
charming than ever, both in shape and
wearing, and the green, which is the
most favored color, is so much softer
and prettfer shade than In former
years. Nothing more attractive can
possibly be imagined than a screen on
view lately specially designed for an
out-of-town dining room or library.
1t was a three-fold standing one Of
wicker, about four feet high, of love
ly shade Of green. Set into each panel
was delicate tapestry square in the
lghter-toned. daintier figure effects.

BANK DEFAULTERS-
How a Conspiracy Between Two Was
Brought to Naught.

!
mo system of checks can prevent a
dishonest einploye from stealing" said
veteran business man and bank Direc-
tor of this city, land the best deterrent
| know of is an occasional overhauling
of accounts by an outside actuary. If
all hands feel that this is liable to hap
pen at any moment, they are very apt to
keep straight. The strong point about
such examinations should be their un-
expectedness. | don't believe in the TO-
tation of bookkeepers or other trusted
employees as a check on one another.
Good men in the same establishment al
ways have an aversion to taie-bearinp.
and, In nine cases out of ten, they will
fail to report little things that would
at once excite their suspicion in ledger
kept by stranger They don't want to
run the Aisk of making mistake and Sc
curing the everlasting enmity of fell
low-employe. The man who makes the
inspection should be brought, if possible,
from another city.
That reminds me, by the way, of a
remarkable story of collision which was
related to me lately by National bank
examiner of my acquaintance. One day
he was going through the usual inspec-
ton of affairs at a solid old bank in
Northeastern city, when the cashier sud |
denly toppled over in an apoplectic fit,
and died almost instantly. His cash and |
accounts were found to be absolutely |
corrsst Some months later the Inspec |
tor dropped in to make an examination
Of another bank only few doors away,
and the cashier promptly slipped out a
side entrance and disappeared. It de-
Teloped that he was short a large
amount, and, when subsequently caught
curious story leaked out. 1t seemed
hat both cashiers were defaulters, and
had been in the habit of helping each
'ther out with cash to make good when
he examiner appeared. At the time the
lrst man dropped dead he had about
10000 of the other banks money, which
lie had intended to return next day. The
ragedy left his friend in terrible hole.
IS he had to shoulder both shortages.
nd when the examiner next arrived
here was nothing to do but run. His
tatement was confirmed by ample ex-
raneous evidence. but don't believe it
'as ever given to the public in all its
etails. '-Neap Orleans Times-D Democrat.
