THE VALUE OF COOPERATION
LARGEST Grange In the World Gives
a Striking Example of What
Can Be Done.

A striking example of what q
Grange can do in financial co-opera-
ton Is furnished at Houlton, Me-,
where the Grange that Is the larg-
est in the world is doing some won.
derful work along cooperative lines.
This Grange runs regular store,
conducted by a manager, backed by
a supervising directorate, has
grinding mill with complete equip,
ment, and also carries on various CO.
operative buying and selling enter
prises In the last six months this
store did nearly 100000 business, of
which almost $4,000 was for seeds
alone. These goods were all sold at
2 per cent advance on cost. which
carried on the business and gave the
farmers a big saving over regular re-
tail store prices.
During the same six months the
mill ground over 10000 bushels OF
grain and charged its patrons but
three cents bushel. Just sufficient
to cover actual cost The latter
plant is operated by electricity and
run on strictly business methods.
Farmers from wide area patron
ize the mill, which has practically
no competition, because of its ad'
vantages in low priced work. The
store also easily distances all rivals
in that vicinity, and has almost the
entire patronage of every farmer for
miles around.
The Houlton enterprise has been
successfully conducted for many
years, and is distinctly the result OF
good management Every six months
a financial statement Is issued that
shows the complete transactions OF
the double plant ana this year the di'
rectors are confident that the 1911
business will amount to rot less
than 100000. While other similar
cooperative enterprises In various
states have failed. the Houlton con-
Germ has been conspicuous success,
and universal confidence in its opera.
tors Is felt by the farmers In that
portion of Maine.

Motherly Admonition.

A New York woman of great beauty
called one day upon friend, bringing
with her her 11-year-old daughter, who
gives promise of becoming as great a
beauty as her mother.
1t chanced that the callers were
shown into room where the friends
had been receiving a milliner, and
there were several beautiful hats ly.
ing about. During the conversation
the little girl amused herself by ex.
aiming the milliner's creations. OF
the number that she tried on she
seemed particularly pleased with a
large black affair which set off her
light hair charmingly. Turning to her
mother, the little girl said:
II look just like you now, moth.
er, don't II"
SSH" cautioned the mother, with
uplifted finger. Don't be vain, DEAR
Lippincotts.

Fifty per cent of the children In
the tenements die in infancy because
they are born into conditions of dis.
ease, malnutrition and neglect"
Such is the astounding presentation
of conditions now existing In New
York city, according to DR.. Abraham
jacob, a physician of prominence In
the metropolis. Continuing, he says:
Our hospitals, insane asylums and
penitentiaries are filled with the re-
suit of children brought into the
world to swell families already too
large for their means of support; or
where their homes were too small:
or where disease resulted from lack
of ventilation and general unceanli-
ness, or the mother was either too
busy, too careless Of too ignorant to
give the proper care to the child.
Hence. in many cases there was no
education. A puny, ill-nourished body
went hand in hand with a puny. i'll
nourished brain. Exit the subject
into crime, disease and insanity.
"And this sorry stream emanates
not alone from the poor, but from the
rich as WE'LL only the rich, because
they are rich, are allowed to walk the
streets.
"The state sees that people who
commit crime are attended to so that
the public good will be protected, The
state takes charge of the peoples
mail Why should 1t not take charge
Of the health of those same people?
Fifty years ago, statistics showed.
out Of every 100 children born In the
tenements 46 died before the age Of
5. Now the mortality Is 20 to every
100 That's a big improvement. but
It has been slow making
I'VE are endeavoring to take care
of the babies. The various societies
send nurses into the tenements to
teach the mothers there how to keep
the place clean and wholesome They
try to show the women that sewing
the baby's clothes on for the winter
Is not wholesome. They educate
them in the proper sterilization Of
milk bottles, how to warm the milk
and dilute it with barley water and
bit of salt, perhaps
at Is likely that in every hundred
tenement dwellers there are several
consumptives. They cough and ex.
pectorate and spread infection about
them. Whatever one coughs into the
air remains there five or six hours
before 1t sinks. Then it settles in
the dust and is just as deadly That
Is another evil which the puny baby
must combat"

KIND PEASANTS OF BRITTANY

Not Ask for Pay.

In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives; and as for forks, they
have no use for them. George Whsr>
ton Edwards tells, in Brittany and
the Bretons," of a visit to an inn
where he met with the proverbial
Breton hospitality.
An old withered Breton woman sat
at the fireside, busily knitting at Q
jersey Of blue wool, and three men sat
at table. playing some sort Of game
with dominoes.
The men gave no apparent heed to
our entrance, but knew we were be
ing discussed in their patois.
We asked for bread, butter and a
pitcher Of cider, which was forth.
coming, but no knives were brought
Noting our predicament, the three
men at once produced their knives,
immense horn-handied affairs, and aft
er wiping them very carefully and
considerably on their coat sleeves
they opened and proffered them to us
"And now, madame" said I. "whai
shall I pay your"
"Five sous for the cider, m'sieur
There is no charge for the bread, fol
is not that the gift Of bon Dieu?"
Thus 1t is throughout this strange
land of Brittany. One may travel
from end to end away from the large
cities, and everywhere meet with the
same hospitality. The peasant will
willingly share with you what he has
in the cupboard, and will not ask for
pay.

either the host or hostess.
Frank, l want you to listen to me.
began Mrs. darlington, opening the
subject again.
Her husband looked up from his
rural journal. He was deep in the
mysteries of how to prune fruit
trees, but he suppressed sigh and
looked across the reading table to
ward his wife.
I'm serious about Polly-we must
find husband for her"
Ibid she say so?' asked the man
blandly.
Mrs. Darlington wlthered him with
a look. Does Pauline ever say any
thing foolish?" she asked.
mot often enough-that's one oi
her faults"
"Her principal fault, so far as
can see, Is being entirely too good
and conscientious and capable fol
any mere man. No one appreciates
her." retorted Mrs. Darlington.
Her husband rolled his precious
magazine into a tube and frowned
We'll? What can we do? can't
go around the world dragging men
out here to meet her and extolling
her virtues. You know how a man
takes to the sort Of girl you have to
do that for"
. "Of course not-but there must be
subtle ways of getting at IT." Mrs
Darlington said vaguely.
You'll have to do anything subtle
that's done in our family. dear. I'm
as far from being subtle as-as q
blow on the head"
His wife did not hear him; she
was thinking. Suddenly a smile
flashed across her face.
"Polly is grand cook" she said
"But who knows it?" asked Frank
mo one but you and me, and-her
family, perhaps. Most Of Polly's
charms-if cooking may be called q
charm-are hidden under the proven
bial bushel." sighed Mrs. darlington.
Her husband agreed with her.
"And I think oh. Frank, couldn't
you invite the boys and men Of the
choir of st. Paul's to a-well say, a
pancake supper, and we'll have Polly
make the pancakes?" Mrs. Earling
toms eyes fairly danced at the pros
pect.

Clean Paint and Good Health.


Great care should always be taken
in the cleaning of paintwork and
baths, especially as this is often neg.
lected on account of the trouble and
danger of discoloration and wearing
the paint which Is caused by the use
Of strong soaps and unnecessarily
hard scrubbing. There is an excellent
cleaner now on the market specially
made for saving labor, which at the
same time preserves the paint, and
should prove to be great boon to
woman whose greatest aim In life Is
to see her house clean and the paint
always spotless. 1t is also highly ef'
ficient for cleaning silver and plated
ware, and answers double use, and
should always be In the store-cup'

Defects That Cause Failure.

Failures which man makes In
his life are due almost always to
some defect in his personality, some
weakness Of body, mind or character,
will or temperament. The only way
to overcome these faillngs Is to build
up his personality from within. 1t is
only those efforts the man himself
puts forth that can really help him."
