PASS IT AROUND

1t has been figured that man who
bought parent stock in the United
Shoe Machinery Co. in 1899, as well
as later allotments, today has nearly
three dollars for one, in addition to
having, through this time, drawn 8
per cent cash dividends steadily and
a number of small cash dividends
extra.
The same man, if he had bought
into Eastman Kodak in the same
way, would now have nearer forty
dollars for one, in spite of cash divi-
dends which in late years have run
as high as 40 per cent.
So it goes with many trusts"
based on patents. Rarely has the in
ventor profited. Mostly the "fat"
has gone to the promoter, the specu-
lator or to the courageous or merely
dumb-lucky first stakeholder.
The labor in these patent-right
trusts is sometimes well, more often
i'll. paid, as compared with labor of
equal skill in free industries, but in
no instance has it shared in the prof
it's as the parent stockholders have.
Parents are a privilege. Our aim
has been to help inventors and stimu-
late invention. We have stimulated
invention, but most inventors have
starved because the fruits of their
genius were stolen. The patent laws
therefore need revision in the direc-
ton of passing prosperity around.

CLEANLINESS is ESSENTIAL
Too Much Care Cannot Be Exercised
In Handling MIX, as Is Demon
strated by London Case.

In the handling of milk, both for
home consumption on the farm and
also for shipment to the various mar
kets, too much care cannot be taken
in keeping it absolutely free from con-
tact with anything in which there is a
possibility Of being germs Of disease.
The following paragraph amply illus
trates the deadly results Of careless
ness, and should be a warning to all
who have to do with the handling of
milk:
"a milkman near London pricked
his finger with a thorn. 1t festered,
but he refused to give up his work
until he was obliged to go into hos
pitaI. At the same time an epidemic
Of diphtheria broke out in the neigh
borhood, an epidemic which eventually
caused lit deaths. The doctors were
at first at a loss to trace the cause,
but presently they found that the
germs came from milk supplied from
the farm where the man with the
pricked finger worked. Then they ex-
amined the man and found that his
poisoned hand reeked with germs of
this deadly disease"

He was lost in dreamy contempla.
ton Of the busy thoroughfare with its
hurrying throng, unmindful Of the
CRIME and stains that marked and
marred his old-fashioned garments,
when suddenly there resounded upon
the air an ear-splitting roar, terrific
clangor, a sti1ed shrek from some
frightened women, babel OF voices
and a rush Of scurrying feet.
He stood transhxed, rooted to the
spot, without power to move a muscle,
an expression Of unconscious agony
upon his noble face. Breathlessly he
waited, unmindful Of the curious
glances bestowed upon him, and the
little newsboys crouching at his feet,
his gaze fixed rigidly upon the spot
from whence had arisen that cry Of
terror. The crowd parted, a heavy
truck moved lumberingly aside and a
Broadway surface car went on its way.
Still he did not move, nor did the
stern expression upon his bronzed
features relax.
For he alone of all that crowd had
nerves sufficiently hardened to with
stand the terrifying clamor and con-
fusion. He was the statue Of Nathan

Shoes for Soldiers.

A study Of the orders given by Ma

to have a sufficient supply of shoes
provided. On one occasion he wrote:
You know that shoes are always
needed in war;" and at another time
he said to Baron Lejeune; "Shoes
help on marches, and marches win
battles" To Sir John Burgoyne's
question addressed to Wellington:
What was the first requirement of a

replied. "And the second require
