curiosity than men, I'm certain.
He-No; but it's manifested in

For Christmas.

Do you want something particularly
nice for your Christmas dinner? Ii
you do, ask your dealer to send you a
can'of Monopole Asparagus-the finest
and daintiest dish ever set before an
American king. The label itself is
magnifcently embossed in blue and
gold, in fact, is a work OF real art.
But the contents of the can are fully
in keeping with the label. You'll
thank us for calling your attention to
it if you once begin to purchase Mono
pole groceries.
Most dealers handle Monopole goods
and if yours doesn't he knows where to
get them. We will thank you if you
insist upon his doing SO.

FRENCH COMPETITION FOR BELT
MOUNTERS-Consul W. P. AtweIl

The numerous accidents to -workmen
in establishments where belts are used
has recently brought about the strin-
gent application Of a French law, for
bidding the removing or replacing Of a
strap by hand while the machinery is in
motion.
In order to obviate the waste of time
consequent upon the stopping of ma
chinery. an association of French manu-
facurers has announced an open inter-
national competition for the best fixed
belt mounter-
The invention should be designed for
simple and not for couical pulleys, and
must comply with the following condi-
tions:
It must be simple, strong. and occupy
little space: easy to fix and use; not
dangerous in working; convenient for
any speed, width, or position of belt;
able to throw the belt off and on, and
sufficiently low in price to allow OF It's
wide use
