THE WORLDS BREAKFAST.

Battle Greek, Michigan, helps to di- gest food for millions of people scatter ed over the world Every day the rail- way brings to it's ravenous grain ele- vators, from the western farms, thou sands of bushels of wheat and corn, and every day long trainload of cook ed cereal foods leave the city for the worlds markets. The stream of raw grain, as it flows through the mills, is converted by various cooking pro cesses, into foods for epicures and in valtds,-foods that few years ago were unheard of. Out of the Utopian dreams of dietetists clear cut idea has crystallized, upon which there has been builded a new industry. Physi- clans in their laboratories converted indigestable cereals into foods that they could give to invalids under their care; now, scores of factories on the borders of the wheat country are pro- ducing millions of packages of semi digested food for the worlds breakfast. Big plants for preparing variety of breakfas foods are situated i'll St Louis, Niagara Falls and Buffalo, and smaller places near the great wheat belt kept up an untiring variety. This novel industry has furnished a new field of operations for men of money, and has given employment to many skilled male and female workers. It has awakened improved scientific ideas in cooking, and a man or woman, to- day who can invent method of pre- senting a new breakfast food will be listened to eagerly. American "bredk- fast foods'' have travelled around the world in the wake of American grain ships, and American breakfasts are now to be had in Cape Town or Hong Kong or Carlo.
 To create hundred-million-d dollar industry in ten years, or to find a mar ket for the vast product of this new industry, is a distinctively American achievement. It is a striking illustra- tion of the yigor of the country's con- mercial vitality. The story of the rise of the cereal industry is a story of in ventive genius, mechanical dexterity, and commercial daring. It needed men of lively imagination and quick perception to discern the industrial possibilities of a medical dreamer's hobby; it needed men of mechanical skill to embody a laboratory idea in maze of machinery that would eco nomically handle thousands of bushels of cereals day; but more than this, it needed men of ingenuity ants daring to put the product on the market and persuade millions of people to buy it. A staple like iron or oil can be sold by simply taking it into the mart, but a new breakfast food'' finds it's way from the factory to the kitchen only through strenuous and costly publicity. The eighty million prosperous people within three days ride of Chicago af- ford the richest market in the world for an article of merit, and the secret of commercial success lies in making these eighty millions know what you have for sale.-Frank Fayant, in May Success .|. ....

WATERTOWN JOTTINGS
Locomotive Whistle Out of Order,
 Alarmed a number of People.


 Alarmed a number of People. The residents about the depot were exceedingly startled last evening at about 7:3O by the continued screech ing of a whistle which they at first thought was 8 fire alarm signal. A large number of people crowded to the depot to find what was out of order, only to find that the whistle lever on the locomotive had been caught upon something and thus caused all the noise. Not having a sufficient amount of time to repair the part out of order the engineer was obliged to run back to Waterbury before the whistle could be repaired.
 One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place at St Johns church, Watertown, Wednesday, April 29, the contracting parties being Daniel Shan non and Miss Annetta Quinn. The nuptial mass was celebrated at 3 o'clock by the Rev Father Loftus, rec tor of the church. The bride was very becomingly dressed in white and car ried bouquet of white roses. The bridesmaid, Miss Sarah Neeson, looked very pretty in pink and carried pink carnations. The groom's man was William Monahan. The ceremony was performed inside the altar rails, the bride being a member of the Children of Mary. A wedding breakfast was served at their newly furnished home to the friends and relatives of the young couple. They were the recip1- ents of almost numberless presents both useful and beautiful.

A labor exchange tells union men not to forget to look for the union la- bel before purchasing goods. Organ ized labor is beginning to realize the importance of putting it's trademark on every article which it aids in nak- ing. It practically makes every union man a member of great cooperative society whose members trade with one another. The labor man or friend of union labor who buys a labeled article makes a market for union labor to that extent. As soon as manufactur- CTS and dealers find that there is spe- cial demand for labeled goods they will hunt for union labor to make these goods. Instead of opposing the employment of union men, as some of the less intelligent manufacturers do at present, they will be glad to seek union labor because of the increased market 1t will bring. Every labor uTl- ion should put it's label on the goods 1t makes, and every friend of organized labor should look for that label before purchasing goods.

 been sold him then. If it is illegal and un-American for body of men to refuse to patronize certain firms, is it not as much so for members of an association to refuse to sell to parties who have the money and are ready to pay for the goods desired?

Professor Robert E. Ely, the secre
 tary of the League of Political Educa- tion, has been making some scientific examinations into the earnings of workers, and presents some conclu- sions which are necessarily much con- densed. It is proper to note that MT Ely's figures are drawn from the fed eral census: The wage earners of the United States number fifteen million men, women, boys and girls of ten years or over Their average individ- ual earnings are S400 year, but on an average two persons are dependent up- on each wage earner for support, which means that three people must live on that average nonthly wage of $33.33. Investigation has shown that about a quarter of workingmln's wages goes for rent and about half in food and fuel. Thus the average work ingman, with his family of two, will have left each month after paying for the roof over his head and the food needful to sustain life, about $S.30 a month for clothing, medicine, recrea- tion and a bank account against a rainy day or the time when he shall become superannuated. Professor Ely very naturally says in the face of these figures that, "the terms of our economic problem cannot be solved by thrift alone" And indeed the poorest encouragement to thrift is the know Hedge that with the utmost pinching economy for years the savings of a family will be inadequate to meet the needs of six months of idleness or two months of costly sickness
