The Kaffeeklatsch.

The difference between a 5 o'clocl
tea and a German Kaffeeklatsch is
enormous. The tea is a pleasant 60
as you please meeting where we bal
ance our teacups in. hands perilously
handicapped by our multitudinous
possessions, augmented by the frat
saucer on which a top heavy piece o.!
cake finds an insecure resting place
We may enjoy variety of creature
comforts augmented by ices and cupt
on festive occasions.
Not so the German Kaffeeklatsch
That is a ponderous affair which you
take sitting at tables. Coffee and
savories mark the beginning of the
meal, followed by numberless cake,
which the Germans know so well
how to make. This is followed by
some creamy preparation or a beauti
full device made in ice; this again il
succeeded by the choicest fruits.
The Kaffeekanne is meanwhile
still busily plying its trade. There il
a well refrain. freely translated:
Thank you, thank you. hostess mine
never drink more cups than nine."---

"MUTUALITY" IN PRACTICE.
How 1t Worked Out to the Financial
Profit of All Concerned.

William H. Tolman, director Of the
American Museum of Safety and San.
itation, New York, writes in the Cen.
fury of Prosperity Sharing" and
as an illustration of the principle of
mutually" in practice, quotes the
following instance:
Five years ago a certain employer
made up his mind that there was toe
much friction in the departments of
his factory, and something ought tc
be done TO eliminate il. First he called
another began to get closer together
and talked over the matter with them
They were deeply impressed with this
mark of confidence. Within "a hours
after that meeting, those in charge
who had been antagOnistic toward one
another began to &c closer together
and compare notes. This meeting did
so much good that another was called
week later. The output of the fac.
tory increased almost immediately. As
a result of these meetings, all began
to work together to better the condl
tons of the factory. The heads of de
partments soon realized that they
were responsible for the friction tina,
existed, and should do their best to
eliminate it. They did so, substituting
courteous, kind treatment for direct
orders as given out formerly by q
boss.
In three months the factory output
increased $4,000. Recently the EN-
ployer analysed the results of the five
months previous to the time when he
started this work. In certain depart
ments, piece workers had numbered
26S. In the same departments, piece
workers today. after three years oil
mutually. number 1873, but they have
drawn the same amount of money that
the 26S did for the same time. That is
the record for the piece workers. Now
for the time workers. During the
same length of time (three years)
under the same conditions, he found
that he had been able to increase
their salaries and wages so 1-2 per
cent. His business is larger than il
was three years ago, while he EN-
ploys about 100 fewer persons to d.
the work. This has been accomplished
on nine hours a day, working fiv,
and one-half days per week, whereas
formerly the factory was run tel
hours day for six days a week.

Mrs. MOncure bridled. She looked
at her handsome young son-in-law that
was to be, the great catch of all the
neighborhood round; unattainable he
had always seemed so far as any ma
terial schemings of her own might be
concerned; and she saw him for the

COMPLAINT AGAINST
 PURE FOOD COMPANY
United States Begin Action to Convict Connecticut Corporation of Food
 Law Violation.

The first complaint against a Con- necticut concern for an alleged viola ton of the national pure food law has been filed by John T. Robinson, Uni ted States district attorney for the dis triet of Connecticut. The complaint is against The New England Food Company of Norwalk. The declara- tions made by MT. Robinson are that The New England Food Company did unlawfully ship and deliver for ship ment from the State of Connecticut to the State of Massachusetts, the city of Boston, certain ndSbranded articles Of food, certain packages of food pro- duct known as Nivara Ceresse Food which articles of food were miSbrand- ed in that the packages in which said articles of food were contained and the labels thereon bore the following statements regarding said articles of food, to wit: The wonderful property of Nivara is that it helps to digest other foods. It is rich, concen- trated food.'"
 These statements the district attor- ney declares were false and misleading in that "said article of food did not Tn fact have the property Of helping to digest other foods and were not in fact a rich concentrated food'' MT Robinson further declares, upon irafor- nation and belief, the source of his information and belief being state ments of the Secretary of Agriculture, that the above statements are true.
