A round object, white and glistening'

A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house OF Walter Baker & Co..
whose manufactures OF cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was estab-
lished one hundred and twenty-one
years ago (17S0) on the Neponset river
! In the old town Of Dorchester, q suburb
of Boston. From the little wooden
mill "by the rude bridge that arched
| the food" where the enterprise was
first started, there has grown up the
largest industrial establishment of the
kind in the world. 1t might be said
that, while other manufacturers come
and go, Walter Baker & Co., go on for
ever. -.. ...=,.. ass
What is the secret of their great sue
cess? 1t is a very simple one. They
have won and held the confidence of
the great and constantly increasing
body of consumers by always main
tanning the highest standard in the
quality of, their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles of good quality can be put
upon the market They welcome hon
est competition; but they feel justified
in denouncing in the strongest terms
the fraudulent methods by which in
ferior preparations are palmed OF on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting the genuine articles.
The best grocers refuse to handle such
goods, not alone for the reason that,
in the long run, it doesn't pay to do it,
but because their sense of fair dealing
will not permit them to aid in the sale
of goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made by
the Walter Baker Company bears the
well-known trade mark La Belle
Chocolatiere," and their place of manu-
facture Dorchester, Mass" House
keepers are advised to examine their
purchases, and make sure that other
goods have not been substituted.

RAILROADS AND ACCIDENTS.
Corporations Busy Contesting Damage
Suits and Paying Costs.

Enormous sums are distributed an.
nually by the railways of New York in
damages. Every one knows the great
number of trolley victims, but few
realize how dearly the roads pay for
accidents. During the past year the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit system. it is
estimated, paid out s1,O0O,O00 as dam
ages. The various roads employ a
corps of lawyers to defend damage
suits. This staff works in connection
with a force of detectives or run
ners," who hold themselves in readi-
ness at all hours to rush to the scene
of accidents. They follow up all injured
passengers and in every way work to
reduce their claims. And, Of course,
there are lawyers who rush about quite
as actively looking up damage cases to
take on speculation. During the year
the value of all verdicts rendered in
court against the company was s197,-
aO0.46. There were, fn!n1aIl forty-six
judgments. The aaw and detective
force succeeded in settling twenty-six
cases, even after the claims had reach.
ed the courts. The larger part of the
claims were settled out of court. to the
number. of 1928. The verdicts varied in
amounts from s39.46, the smallest
sum, to $22,50O. The sums asked for
varied from $1,000 to 100000. The dam
ages settled upon out of court were
in the majority of cases much less
than the damages allowed in court
The claims settled in this way which
became public varied from $25s to
$4,000. "A law has been passed recently
which provides that unless the Appel
late division of the supreme court is
unanimous in allowing an appeal the
decision of the lower court shall stand.

he has been officially degraded. He
was NOT severe enough to please tine

AN uNTRAvELED PRESIDENT.
Head of French Nation Makes Up for q
Deficiency.

Head of French Nation Makes Up for a
Deficiency.
/ President Loubet of France is as
little of traveller as the ex-president
of the United States. Writing of him
in the Century, Baron Pierre de Cou-
bertin says:
In our age and generation Emile
Loubet is one of the high priests OF
Reason-not. it is true, after the fash
ion of Jean Jacques Rousseau, who in
pontifical fashion was wont to evoke
that same Reason when it had nothing
to say; but, on the contrary, after the
fashion of man who is well balanced,
sound in brain and body, and has made
habit to consult reason when con-
fronted by each difficulty, listening to
its voice and never acting eX-
cept in line with its counsels.
In our country it is oftener than
otherwise that one meets this
type of man among those who live, or
have lived; in contact with the soil.
From this contact they draw a taste
for peace, and the habit of carefully
lllt SAlIlt HOIlLoh anu w.
sidering the arguments for an against
every question. When, in addition to
that, they have goodly share of edu-
cation, and strive continuously to add
to their knowledge, SO that in way
they keep well creased the machinery
of thought, they become at once mark
ed by an extraordinary superiority
over their fellows. President Loubet
is literary man. He has read enor-
mously, and because of his habit of
early rising, quite common among
country people, even at the Elysees
Palace, he finds time to read; and not,
only read newspapers, but the reviews
and books. He reads quickly, seizes
we'll the gist of writing, criticiZes
fairly, and in consequence gets much
profit from his reading. Besides that,
he is assisted by fine memory, which
not only recalls to him what he has
read, but also every scene through
which he has passed. In that way he
has accumulated a vast experience re-
| lating to men and things. Only in one
point would this experience be likely
to prove weak. He has Travelled little,
or rather, unless am mistaken, he has
not travelled at all; and in order to
preside over the destinies OF country
like France, which, owing to its i'm
portance as colonial power, its past
history, and its geographical position
on the globe, is obliged to have very
active foreign policy, this lack Of ac7'
quaintance with other lands is a seri-
Gus inconvenience. Luckily the presf
dent has quality which is precious
beyond others, and one that permits
him to overcome this very inconveni-
ence. He understands admirably how
to listen. .r.
