Death Roll Of Industry.

To unprecedented prosperity such
as the past year showed and the pres
ent year promises, there is a seamy
side Of which little is said. Thousands
of wage-earners, men, women and chill
dren, were caught in the machinery Of
our record-breaking production and
turned out cripples. Other thousands
were killed outright.
How many there we're no one can
say exactly. for we were too busy
making the record production to count
the dead. France, Germany, Holland
and England have come pretty close
to counting their death roll Of indus
try and to shortening it. America does
not even count the lives.-Charities

CREEPING BLANKETS.

Menaaeries and JungIes the Baby ca"
Wander in Safely.
There's a new kind of creeping
blanket. It is q big stretch OF deep
cream colored blanket material, OF .
firm consistency, 50 that 1t lies on the
door as fiat as a rug.
It is embroidered with scattering
Of animals and birds in bold outline
and gay color. No relation of sizes Is
regarded by the blanket designer.
Birds, elephants, tigers. butterflies
are drawn in any scale. They are
placed at generous distances apart to
invite a creep from the baby from one
to the other. A centre space Is LETT
free for the baby's name In easy now
ing script.
Gay colored worsteds are used Tor
the embroidery. Animals and birds
should be worked in the brightly con-
trasting colors that endear toys to
babies hearts. The worsteds are all
fast colors, for of course the creeping
blanket needs many cleanings.
The delight that babies take in these
blankets iustifies their Invention.
They pat and rub at the vivid hued
animals with absorbed interest OF
crows Of glee.
1.-The creeping blanket has saved me
no end Of effort" says young mother
1T always delights my baby and
keeps him busy for an hour at a time
I can get a deal of mending or read

A lining of some smooth. dust re

der the blanket. This lining is re
moved when the blanket is cleaned Of
washed.-New York Sun.

WHY TOAST IS WHOLESOME.
did YOU ever wonder why toast
is always recommended for invalids?'
said a chemist "The reason is that
toast is predigested bread.
What makes fresh bread trying
for invalids IS the starch in it.
Starch is very hard to digest. 1t
| needs a good stomach to take hold OF
the soggy starch in bread and change
| it to Strengthening, stimulating dext'
rine
But when you cut bread thin and
toast it brown, the fire itself changes
the starch to dextrine. That. in fact.
is what the brown color in toast in
dicates-that the starch is gone and
dextrine has taken its place. Inc
stuff is predigested.
80 we feed our invalids on toast
a dish as thoroughly predigested as
any OF the most famous break1aSt
foods"
