E HOT BREAD.
Agrieultur Department Publishes . Bui.
lstin on the Subject.

Helen ". Atwatcr has written foi
the agricultural department a bulletin
in which she takes a position that will
be approved in the great hot bread
belt Of the south, at least, says the
New York Sun. She says that hot
bread in itself is not injurious.
She argues that it is not the fact
ofits being hot which makes the bread
injurious. Hot bread may be- injurious
just as old bread may be. and the cause
is identical in both cases. She says:
"Thc fact that the bread is hot has
little to do with the matter. New
bread, especially that from a large
loaf. may be readily compressed into
more or les solid masses. and it is
possible that such bread would be
much less finely masticatcd than
crumbly stale bread. and that, there
fore, it might offer more resistance to
the digestive juice, Of the stomach.
However, when such hot bread a.

The invaders could move but slowly

The Wages of

LACKS EITHER THE TO TAKE DUE PAYMENT
OR TO KEEP IT. The commercial instinct of a man of talent Is.
as g rule, of a negligible quantity, and he is the victim of men wholly

such a man genius is a poor capital.
