MUST READ 26 BOOKS A DAY.
That Stunt Necessary Just to Keep Up
with the American Output.

Somebody has just figured it out that
a man will have to read at the rate of
twenty-siX books a day to keep up with
American literature alone. Last year,
according to The Independent, We broke
the record; 2iSl more books published
in the United States than i'll 1906; far
ahead OF any previous year.
The total number for 1907 was J62O,
from which may be subtracted CD now
editions, leaving 500 really new books
appearing in the United States.
OF these GJlI were by American au-
thcrs or were new editions manufa cturcd
in the United States. the Others being by
English or other foreign authors or con-
sistng of imported editions, bound or in
sheets.
We are gradually making good our lit
erary declaration of independence, every
year producing a larger proportion of
the books we read, especially fiction. In
quantity if not i'll quality we are catch
ing up with England, where last year
9914 books appeared. only 234 ahead of
us. whereas in 1906 the English publca-
tons outnumbered the American by
l4G4.
The French in 1907 produced 1O7S5,
of which. however. 1000 or 1900 We're
mere pamphlets. The Italian book pro-
duction for the same year was 1O4O. In
the American list fiction of course stands
at the head. with iii titles. Next to
il and rapidly gaining on it is theology
and religion, with SIG.
The classes following are law, physical
and mathematical science, poetry and
the drama. Why is it that people will
continue to say that religion is a dead
issue and that nobody reads poetry in
face of the fact that last year in this
country the number Of new publications.
in religion was more than 40 per cent.
greater than the year before. and the vol
umes of poetry more than doubled

Most Likely To Follow Proper
AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not oyertax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishmcnt.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking ana action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up under
the bran-coat of the wheat, are includ-
ed in Grapc-Nuts, but left out Of white

ing of brain and nerve cells.

It would save them many a dollar

When a manufacturer adopts q
trade mark he assumes the entire re.

light-"on the square" with the buy

with himself
The other manufactureT-the one
who holds out inducements, offer
ing to brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers brand - sidesteps
responsibility, and when these infe-
rior goods come back" it's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead COmpany's adver-
tising of pure White Lead as the best
paint material.
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark is an absolute guaranty of puri-
ty in White Lead is proved to the
most skeptical by the offer National

tions how to test the white lead for

Sleeves to Be Lonuer.

The vexed question as to the cor
rect sleeve length has been answered
at last with no uncertain voice. Sleeves
are to be long, so long that not only
are the elbows covered and reach the
wrists, but the point must fall over
the knuckles, and in some instances
there are actually concealed thumb
holes in the cuffs, through which the
thumbs may be passed in order that
they may help to keep the sleeve down
to their fullest extent.
This particular vogue adds not a
little to the studious suppression of
all efforts after display that character.

compact into which a woman has
wheedled a man by means of paint,
powder, perfume, cosmetics, artificial
teeth, false hair, corsets, hoops. high
heeled shoes. low-cut waists, lace or
rainbow hosiery, or by any other arti-
fetal means or practices. Why not
limit the woman's "wheedling" priv
ilges to the method of absent treat

at least a ten-mile start.
