The bank line have worked
on the proposition that two
plus two equals four, while the
bread line has worked on the
theory that two minus two
equals zero. Both are mathe-
matiCallycorrect; but the minus
proposition has more hurts in
it than the plus. And the
hurts last a long time.
The roll and the coffee of the
bread line r as near nothing
AS a man al eat; but the bank
book in the hands of the bank
line is the best thing a man
can have. 1t will never desert
him. 1t will stick by him in
any kind of weather. 1t will
feed him, nurse him and pay
his rent. 1t will bury him and
the bread line never does that.
Humanity divides itself into
these two lines, the bread line.
whose future is behind them,
and the bank line, whose flu
ture is before. 1t is to choose
between them.

40. The Bread Line and the Bank

Stretching clear across the
block at Broadway and Elev-
enth street. New York, any
night at twelve o'clock will be
found a line of hungry, DEFECT
ed, unkernpt, homeless men.
Some are old, some young,
some middle-aged. But all are
men, waiting for the cup of
coffee and the roll which has
been theirs for the taking every
night at twelve o'clock for
these many years and will be
for many years to come. 1t is
the famous bread line, with
tragedy all its own.
Stretching not SO far. a few
blocks to the north, almost any
day will be found another line
of Clear-eyed, well-dressed and
prosperous looking men and
women, waiting to put their
savings in the bank. 1t is the
bank line. 1t has no fame, for
no one has ever written it up.
1t has no tragic, no pitiful side.
The bank line stands erect;
the bread line droops. The
bank line moves fast; the bread
line slowly. The bank line has
something else to do; the bread
line hasn't.
Ask the men of the bread
line: How came you here: and
they will answer, poor train
ing, bad envirnment, bad com
panions, idleness. shiftlessness,
drink. Some may have been
unfortunate, some misguided,
or unguided, some inherently
bad, some weak; but as a rule
thriftlessness in some form
brought them here.
Ask the bank line: w h a t
brought you here? and they
will answer, good home in
fluences, proper training, good
management, economy. care,
thought, hard work, sobriety,
honesty, integrity, thrift.
Ask the bread line: What of
the future? and they will tell
you that they don't know-the
park, the poor house, potter's
field, when the bread line no
longer finds them able to stand
in line for a sip of coffee and
the little roll.
Ask the bank line: What of
your future? and they will tell
you peace, comfort and con-
tentment. The rainy day has
no terrors for; them; let the
bread line worry about the
weather.
The bread lines good times
are in the past-Qone. The
bank lines good times are in
the future-coming. The bank
lines good times may not have
as many thrills as the bread
lines good times have had, OF
be quite 80 hilarious, but they

Doubtful About IL.

Nath Taylor could neither read nor
write, but he put one over on the city
preacher that he engaged to marry
him. Nath had for long time con-
templated marrying, but never had
the nerve to inquire into the neces-
sary legal formalities. A preacher
from the city happened to be visiting
on the farm where Nath was en-
ployed. When Nath learned of the
presence of the preacher in the house
he decided to go up and inquire just
what had to be done. When Nath
reached the front steps his courage
left him, and there Mr.. Smith, his en-
ployer, found him. Nath explained his
mission and the preacher was called
to enlighten him.
And so you wish to get married,
my MANI" the preacher nodded en-
couragingly to Nath, whose courage
was fast slipping away.
Well. i think will try it while"
Nath replied. How much does 1t

War Hits rheumatism.

Sodium salicylate, the friend Of suf
ferers from rheumatism, is selling to-
day at $240 a pound, while before the
war it only cost 80 cents a pound, re
marks the New York World. Also, il
is sold in this country only under the
condition that none of it will be ex
ported.
The reason for this, according to the
head Of one of the largest chemical
concerns in the city, is not because
there are more cases Of rheumatism in
the country today than ever before,
but because sodium salicylate is made
from carbolic acid heretofore imported
from Europe. Now Europe needs all
her carbolic acid to use in manufac.
turing explosives.
Horace Graves of the Oil, Drug and
Paint Reporter said: Nearly all the
highly developed coal tar derivatives
in the United States have been used
up. Picric acid, which is used in ex.
p1osives, costs nil over in Europe to
what it would cost to manufacture
here. In England they are too busy
to manufacture it, so they have been
buying from us in great quantities. We
have been selling at huge prices. Last
year at this time carbolic acid cost
seven cents a pound, now 1t has gone
up to $3.50"

There was a British physician
named Robert PEBBLES who created a
sensation in London and Edinburgh
several years ago by his insistent
coaxing of athletes for the privilege
of studying their bodies after death.
He had been experimenting with the
muscles and had arrived at what his
associates termed fantastic notion
that some sort of operation could be
performed on the leg of the human
runner so that his speed could be
increased. Leapers and high jumpers
were his hobby, and in the course of
five years it was estimated that he
had examined the leg muscles Of near
ly thousand men, making compari-
sons with the running and leaping
muscles of the frog, the deer, the
greyhound and other animals.
PEBBLES was man of means, and
after he had succeeded in inducing
half dozen athletes of reputation to

A CARTER OF VIRGINIA

When The Woman had settled back
In the handsomest of her velvet-lfned
automobiles her thought travelled
across the years that were ended, COM
ing up sharply to the elaborate en-
tertainment Of which she had been
hostess the evening before, and she
smiled a queer twisted smile for
which there seemed no reason what
ever, for certainly the dinner had been
a brilliant affair and had gone off with
out hitch.
There had been the usual wonderful
gold plate and cut glass; the custom
airy perfect cuisine; the same fiawless
conduct of servants; a brilliant run
of repaftee, and hostess whose beau
ty and charm was an unceasing won
der to all those whose lives she
touched
Yet The Woman as she skinned
along over the city streets in her
handsome car. smiled her queer and
twisted smile as her thought travelled
back over the highly successful din
ners and scores of other equally bril-
liant entertainments which she had
graced since she became the mistress
of The Mans beautiful home.
When The Woman's name was an
nounced at the afternoon reception
the hostess of the day turned to the
Stranger Guest and remarked that the
beautiful woman just coming in was
one she should cultivate.
'She's Carter of Virginia, my dear.
Belongs to THE Carriers. An invitation
to her house means an open sesame
to society"
The smile of The Woman as she
heard, became wee bit more twisted
than formerly, and flush mounted
to the roots of her glittering hair.
Refreshments had been served. The
Stranger Guest lowered over The
Woman much as if her souls saliva
ton depended upon the latter's pleas
