Growth of Corporations.

The striking growth in the corpor-
ate form Of management in manufac-
turing establishments in the United
States is indicated by a comparison
Of the census of manufactures TAX
en- in 1904 with that taken in 1908.
In this comparison the term "estab-
lishment" is defined as meaning one
or more factories, mills, or plants
owned, controlled, or operated by a
person, partnership, corporation, or
other owner, resided in the same town
or city, and for which one set of
books of account is kept.
or the 26S, 491 establishments re-
ported for the census of manufac-
lures Of 1909, 65,501, or 25.9 per
cent, were under corpoI ate owner
ship. as against al per cent, under
all other forms. The corresponding
figures for 1904 were 1876 per cent
and 7G.4 per cent respectively. While
the incorporated companies controll-
ed by comparatively small portion
of the total number of establishments
/ they gave employment to a large pro-
portion, 1915 per cent of all wage
earners reported for 1909 and 7O.6
per cent of those reported for 1904.
The values of the products of the fac
tories operated by incorporated COM
/ panies represent 20 per cent of all
/ the total value of poducts for all es-
| Establishments in 1909 and 1877 per
/ cent for 1904. Between 1904 and
/ 1903 the number of establishments
operated by corporations increased
/ by 76 per cent, the number of wage
earners employed in them 29.5 per
cent, and value of products by 49.9
per cent. For all other forms OF
ownership combined the number OF
establishments increased during
these five years by 2O.5 per cent, the
average number of wage earners in
j creased only four-tenths of one pei
cent. and the value Of products ia
per cent.
The figures show that even during
the short period OF five years the cor.
porate form of ownership has in.
creased so greatly that it now con
trolls an apparently larger proportion
Of the manufacturing of the country
They also show the tendency TO con
Eclidation under corporate manage
ment. for while the number of cor
poration establishments increased
only &c per cent faster than thos,
under ether forms CT ownership, the
value Of their forms Of ownership in
: creased SIS per cent faster.
These figures demonstrate beyond
preston the need for the enforce
ment of adequate control of corpor
ations.

Leap Year Coming on Apaoe.

Leap year will soon be with us
again in its quadrennial rounds, and
the maidens who have been waiting

prerogative that only during these

ing sense of their duty in proposing
marriage.

humble almanac is again with us
with It's cures for all the Ills to
which human flesh is heir. together
with its signs Of the zodiac and its
weather forecast for the IL months.
And, by the way, these long dis.
lance weather forecasts are about as
reliable as any, and the information
they contain that the rivers of the
north and west will be frozen in
January and that there will be a
full moon in June and warm to hot
weather in August, especially in the
Mississippi valley, may, of courfe, be
relied upon absolutely.

passing. that its strength and its
weakness are coming out into the
plain white light of common day. We
have reason to be thankful that the
principles of health conservation and

Now there Is hope that the true ap-

that the results win be as satisfactory

Some Famous Ounces.

Literary history is crowded with in
stances of torpid and uninteresting
boyhood. Gibbon was pronounced
"dreadfully dull" and the utmost that
was predicted of Hume in his youth
was that "he might possibly become a
steady merchant" Adam Clarke, after
ward so deeply skilled in oriental Ian
guages and antiquities, was pronounc-
ed by his father TO be "a grievous
Ounce" and Of Boileau. who became a
model for Pope, it was said that he
was a youth Of little understanding.
Dryden was "a great numskull." who
went through a course Of education
at Westminster, but the stimulating
properties Of DR.. Busby's classical
ferrule were thrown away upon the
drone who was to be known as 'Glori

You should stop the practice. Your

his niggardliness. You are doing your
self an injustice by being generous
to one so misery, and in future you
should let him pay his own fare.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please give
me a formula for bleaching the hair;
also how to keep it light afterwards.
My hair Is light brown. BLUE EYES.
To bleach the hair successfully the

There are no friends like old friends,

And while we prize the new one.
We treasure more the old"
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have girl
living with me for whom have done a
great deal. She was homeless when
took her, and treated her the same as
I did my own children. She is great
disappointment to me. Recently have
discovered that she has been deceiving
me, and l am shocked at the stories

ously Of turning her out. Do you
think ought to do this?

To be Just is admirable, but In deal
ing with weak human nature II is de
sirable to use little kindly charity in
any punishment you may have to in
fiict. Give the girl you write about an
other chance. To assist those who &C
tually deserve help is what all kind

as they are able, but to forgive those
who are actually undeserving of for
giveness is a stage Of goodness t.
which very few ever attain. If vol
can, by the exercise of patience, pre-
vent this girl from slipping lower,
will bring you far more happiness thai

Sanitation of American Cities.

DR. W. A. Evans, in the Chicago
Tribune, in comparing the results in
the Panama canal zone and In Cuba
with what We are doing in our own
cities, draws the conclusion that
American citizens ought TO be as well
taken care of as American hogs, Pan
ana workers. Cubans. Filipinos and
toldiers along the Rio Grsnde. He
says that II anything like the amount
Of money spent in these places for the
preservation CT health We're speat in
the cities Of the United States the re-
suits would be Astonishing. IN this
connection he gives the following Eg-
urea, showing the advance made in
Chicago in the prevention OF disease
