captaips of industry, runs in connection Win

Mrs w H. Tolman, of the American Institute
of Social Service, met M. Mabille at the Liege
Exposition, where she spent the summer Win
DR.. Tolman.
I'M. VALERIE Mabille" said Mrs Tolman, was
among the most notable personages at the Liege
Exposition Genial and benevolent, conscious
of his power, but ever ready to use it in behalf
of his less favored fellows, he is always seeking
the best methods of social and industrial bet
terment.
Early in his business career M. Mabille
turned his thoughts to his workmen, with the
result that in 1870 definite efforts for improving
their condition were made in the direction Of
education, better housing and the organization
of mutual benefit societies. To-day his works of
amelioration include clubs for men, women and
youths, singing societies. athletic organizations
dramaties, a social secretary, library. a COM
munal home for workmen, schools, bank and
mutual benefit societies.
ION looking into the social conditions OF his
workmen, NJ. Mabille soon learned that they
were paying too much for foodstuffs, often of
an inferior quality. Weakened by poor food
they were not able to Withstand disease, and
this impaired their wage earning capacity. Be-
sides, he saw that with advancing years the
older men would be unable to work the full day.
$50 he set himself to solve for his worsmen
these two great problems of pure food and of in
surance against old age, sickness and accidents
Both objects he accomplished by means of the
Bon Grain which supplies the workman with
pure food at moderate cost and at the same time
pays him dividends and provides for his old age
I'm the course of his Investigations NJ
Mabille found that the thrifty workman who
tried to provide for old age rainy day often
did It by denying himself the necessaries OF life
thereby bringing on fastening the approach
of the evil DAYS for which he was preparing.
Under the Bon Grain system the worknlen actu-
ally increase their pensions by increasing their
supply of food, besides adding to their quarterly
dividends.
pensions are granted at sixty years Of age TO
those who have been members of the society for
at least four years the amount of the pension
varying according to the amount of food pur
chased The pension fund now amounts to $780,
$50. The Bon Grain also pays an insurance to
the widows of children of deceased worlkmen.
