A Good Sleeper.

The lawyers got a tartar when, in
a recent trial in a southern city. they
summoned to the stand an aged darby
who had been an eyewitness of fight
that had occurred between a number
of persons.
"Tell us what you know about this
fight" said the counsel when old Nose
had been placed upon the stand.
"Fight?" asked Nose, apparently
greatly surprised. What fightT'
"You know very well what fight Is
meant" said counsel. "Tell us about
It,"
81 don't know nothin' about no
fight" insisted the witness. What
was it?"
"See here, Nose" exclaimed the
lawyer, mo trifiing! The fight day
before yesterday. You know all about

said Nose. "Well, sub, you see. rs

SHORTER DAY PAYS.
Steel Plant Gains by Adopting tho
Eight Hour Shift.

Economy in production as well as
eisure for workers has followed the
adoption of the eight hour shift in one
steel center. In describing Granite
city, H.. as one of the satellite cities"
which industry is developing on the
edges of st. Louis. Graham Romeyn
Taylor in the Survey says:
perhaps the most striking contrast
in the whole round of Granite City's
community life is that here is a town
with the most meager provision for rec
rention and with only the beginnings Of
1 public library and no Y NJ. C. A, IA
town singularly barren of resources for
the utilization of leisure, yet in this
very place are to be found advanced
labor experiments in the direction of
giving greater leisure to workingmen.
Some of the steel plants have demon
strated to the satisfaction Of their Off
-ias the economic advantages of three
two twelve-hour shifts In continuous
processes. According to its superin-
tendent. one plant has actually saved
money, for the waste and inefticfency
Tue to negligence and fatigue are re-
,luced enough to outweigh the 20 per
cent addition to the payroll of the men
affected. The change was accompanied
by an average advance Of % per cent
in hourly rate Of wages. but the four
hour reduction meant that the daily
wage decreased about 20 per cent.
When the question was submitted to
the men. however. a unanimous affirm
alive vote was the result.
1--WE want the leisure to be with our
families and do odd jobs around the
house., some Of the open hearth men
said to the superintendent. That there
has been little bad use of the leisure
the officials of the Granite City compa-
MES all agree.
The success of the eight hour shift
in a city so poorly equipped for the Use
Of leisure would seem to promise much
if the schedule were inaugurated in
communities where recrea ton has de
veloped more fully"

Bouillon Cubes Have
Little Food Value

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-Commercial
bouillon cubes contain little or no real
food value, say the chemical experts Of
the Department OF Agriculture. who have
just completed an examination and re-
port on the subject They declare that
the home made product is far more val
liable and less expensive than the manu-
featured one.
The commercial cubes, the report con-
tinues, contain from one-half to three
quarters OF table salt and. as their price
ranges from 10 TO 20 cents an ounce, ''pur-
chasers are buying salt at a very high
price" The cubes are-said to be valua-
BILE as flavoring agents and that they
do contain a small quantity OF muscle
building material.
According t0sthe analysis of these cubes,
besides common salt. (which constitutes
from 40 to " per cent OF the total weight,
the amount of meat extracted ranges
from per.cent In the poorest brands to
IS per cent in the very best Plant or
