BOY WITH A BUSINESS BUMP
Minneapolis Lad Picks Up Neat Sum
Of Money by Establishing Profit
able Bakery Route.

Robert Stuart is a Minneapolis boy.
Last summer he very much wanted to
earn some money Of his own. He
thought Of all the schemes that he
ever had heard OF and then he started
an entirely new one. He went to Mr..
Townsend, who had Just opened q
bakery in Hennepin avenue, and said
that IL he was supplied with horse
and wagon he thought he could get up
a profitable route OF customers. Mr..
Townsend was little doubtful Of Rob-
ert's ability. but he said that he would
give Robert a commission on all the
customers he could get. So Robert
started out and made a thorough can
vass Of the neighborhood and he soon
found nearly thirty families that
agreed to take Mr. Townsend's goods
II they were delivered promptly. So
Robert got up every morning at FIVE
o'clock and, mounted on his wheel, he
would take a big basket of bread and
buns and deliver them to his custom
ers. The basket was firmly fastened
to the handlebars OF his machine. He
was so prompt and pleasant that his
customers increased to fifty and then
he could not carry all Of the bread In
basket So he bought a little iron
wagon and fitted large basket inside
of 1t. This he tied behind his wheel.
Almost any morning he can be seen
spinning along the streets with the
bread wagon rafting along behind him.

Cured in families in poor economic
circumstances and living under rather
unhygienic conditions. On account Of
the topography of the country the
most suitable locations for homes are
along the streams. consequently a
large percentage OF the inhabitants
live along water courses. In every in.
stance where I was able to visit the
pellagrins at their homes found
them living within 500 or 600 yards
from a stream. The question of diet
was not gone into thoroughly. but In
every instance where | was able TO
make inquiry regarding the diet OF the

products had been one OF the main ar.
ticles OF diet.
II was able TO find only sixteen pei.

Parks Lessen Fire Risks.

In connection with the parks and
the city's prospective growth II should
be pointed out that the parks have a
fire insurance value. This is fact
which. seldom taken into account. is
nevertheless. apparent on a moments
reflection. No greater fre barrier can
be made. invented or built. than a
wide stretch Of park land. The danger
OF confiagration is lessened. This was
distinctly proven in the great San
Francisco FIRE where flames stopped
short at the edge OF parkways. In
Baltimore one OF two parks would
have paid for themselves during that
citys unfortunate confiagration.

the care OF cats a special study for .
number Of years.
81 have found that there are almost
as many intelligent cats as dogs. "a
that they are about az faithful as the
average human being. II one wants
good house cats they must be brought
up from kittens. Never try to train
grown cats. and do not adopt tramp
cats. for they are impossible. as far
as training goes"
Asked about the kind OF cat that
would make the best household pet.
the woman said:
In choosing a kitten. choose one
with a wide, fiat nose; eyes wide.
apart. and wide forehead and jaw.
the muzzle not too long. This will
be an intelligent cat AS soon as kit.
tens have learned to lap milk they
may be taken from their mother. A
healthy kitten should become q
healthy cat. but II he should get sick
let him alone and especially do not
coax him to eat"
Bathing a cat. when parasites exist.
