BREAD AT 5 CENTS.
N. Y. WORLD.

In spite of all that has been said by
the master bankers, there is plenty OF
evidence that loaf of bread weighing
one pound may be made and sold with
frofitto manufacturer and retailer
at 5 cents. Wheat is now selling in
Chicago at about $1.40 a bushel. What
then, must have been somebody's pro-
fits during all the year when wheat
was quoted at 80 and 80 cents?
The restoration of the Scent loaf
in New York will naturally attract
to its weight. There have been boasts
on the part of bakers that by new
process involving the use of chemicals
usually regarded as injurious, bread
might be inflated and at the same
time increased in nutriment. The
Scent loaf, accepted under duress in
many cases, should therefore invite
the strictestiquiry of the health auth
critics.
Weight and purity are of even more
Importance than price. 1t is not pos
sible to fix the price of bread by law
but there should be no difficulty in
establishing the weight of the loaf
and making sure that it contains
nothing that is unwholesome. The
bill now pending at Albany deserves
the serious consideration of the Leg
islature.

the universe not fewer than 500
Diiiion stars, and not more than LOCO
billion, the exact number being
somewhere between the two. 1t an
pears then that the Bureau of En-
craving in period between two and
tour years turns ont enough holes in
postage stamps to equal the number
of the stars.
Now, what becomes of all these
holes? Have they any value? The
answer of the latter question is, not
the slightest. They are carried off, in
the barrels to the city dump.
Many sheets Of postage stamps are
spoiled in the making. Thousands of
other sheets. gummed together by hot
weather in the Summer time, nibbled
by mice, or in other ways rendered
unstable, are returned to the
bureau to be replaced with new ones.
Such sheets, of course, have / cash
value; they must be destroyed, like
redeemed paper money. For this
purpose they are packed in boxes and
sent in wagon to the Washington
Navy Yard,where they are burned
under the official eye of a Govern
ment committee, in a big furnace.
Formerly the spoiled stamps were
boiled to a pulp, like the old paper
money, in tank with water and
acids. But, whereas the paper money
pulp was sold, as still the custom,
for paper stock, bling derived origin
ally from fine linen rags, the stamps
of woodpulp paper, went into the
sewer, being not worth saving.
AS for the holes in postage stamp,
it seems to be very trifling thing;
yet, as mater of fact, it represents
an extremely important invention.
When stamps were first used they
had to be cut apart with scissors,
which was highly inconvenient. 1t
is said that $4,000 was paid to the
man who originated the idea of per-
forating the sheets, for the privilege
of using it.-Ex.

What Becomes of the Holes in Our
Postage Stamps.

What becomes of the holes in a
sheet of postage stamps? Sounds
like silly question, doesn't it? But
wait minute.
On concrete platform outside the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in
Washington a few days ago some
barrels were being "hauled up"
They were filed with queer-looking
stuff which anybody might we'll have
/ been at loss to identify. 1t GER
tainly wasn't mineral; it didn't look
like a vegetable. Many colors-
red, blue, green and yellow-seemed
to be mixed in the small particles of
which it was composed.
"What on earth is it?" asked q
curious passerby, parsing to take a
look.
Gust holes in postage stamps" re-
piled the man with the hammer.
Then, in explanation, he grabbed out
handful of the stuff and showed
that it was composed of tiny disks of
bule, some green. Others were Of
yet other colors.
1t appears that the material in
question is by-product of the ma.
chimes through which the sheets OF
postage stampe go to be perforated
AS the little holes are punched out
of them the tiny paper disks fall into
baskets beneath, while later on are
emptied into barrels. Every weel
day in the year the Bureau Of En-
craving turns out in this way 9
barrel and half of "holes." Thi:
means nine barrels a week, or 46S
barrels in a twelvemonth.
How many holes go to make
barrel full? Nobody ever took thu
troubel to count, but it may b.
reckoned approximately without mucl
difficulty. The bureau prints in {
year 12,O00,000,000 postage stamps
Allowing for the fact that row o
perforations serves for the stamps Of
both sides of it, there are twenty-on
, of them for each stamp. This woul
mean a total of 252, 000, 000, 900 hole
made by the machines. With tota
output of 468 barrels of holes for tn
twelvemonth, it is obvious that tn
contents of each barrel would amour
, to about 538, 461 ,538 holes.

THE MULE.

The progressive Farmer has dis
covered the following outburst of
poetic genius;
The null. he is a funny sight,
He's made of ears and dynamite;
His heels are full of bricks and spring.
Tornadoes, battering rams, and thing.
Has fat as any poisoned pup;
It's just his meaness swells him up;
He's always scheming round to do
The things you most don't want him t.
The mule, he lives ON anything;
He's got n lovely voice to sing,
And when he let's it loose Mt noon,
II sounds like buzz saws ont of tune,
He stands around with sleepy eye
And looks as he'd like 10 die.
But when there is any dying done
1t amt the mule, III oct bun.
Some folks don't treat mules with re-
spec.
They say they amt got intellect;
That may be so, but if you've got
To go to heaven on the spot,
And want the way that dosen't fail
Just pull the tassel on his tail.
The mule, he tends to his own biz,
He don't look loaded but he is.

Office of County Treasure Abolished

The office of county Treasure is
to be abolished in both Wayne and
Duplin counties as is the case with
the office in several other counties
This reform was started two years
ago by Mr.. Henry A. Page for his
county Moore. The indications now
now are that this office will soon be
be thing of the past in practically
every county in the state No county
treasure need take the movement to
abolish his office as matter personal
to him. The people are simply find
ing out that it is a needless office
and needless expense to the tax
payers. Any good bank will render
the service and at no expense to the
people. AS n matter of course the
office cannot be abolished till the
term of the incumbent has expired.
But when his term is up the office
ends.-Mt. Olive, IN. CO. Tribune.

Too Much Waste of Land.

With land prices ranging from $500
to 5000 per acre. it would sem rea-
sonable to economic with land as far
as possible, but large amount of need
less waste is apparent on every land.
On most farms one-half of the ground
devoted to house grounds and barn
yards, could be dispensed with. This
idle soil planted to potatoes, fruits,
and vegetables would furnish a yearly
supply.
When potatoes are tended but one
way 1-2 feet between the rows is suf-
ficient, thus saving about one-third in
ground. In many corn fields the head
lands are a rod or two in width. These
are not small items computing the pos
sible products from all this soil going
to waste. 1t would be wealth to the
farmers of Europe, hundreds of whom
must exc out living from a few a
ores of worn-out land along mountain
sides. Farm and Home.

SUDDEN SHOCKS
Impair the System, Shorten Life and
DO Great Harm.


If you knew that you could cure
yourself or your child Of malignant
disease by the use of dynamite, would
you take the chance?
Calomel acts on the sluggish liver
like dynamite on the solid rock.
1t shocks and upsets the organs and
works much harm as proven by its
after effects.
Modern science has discovered a
vegetable substitute that produces all
the desired effects of calomel without
the shock or after troubles. 1t is so
harmless that acids may be taken in
to the system Immediately after the
medicine without fear of after eff
fects.
1t rids liver, kidneys and bowels of
all poisonous accumulations and
leaves the patient feeling new and
strong.

but that can be had. Fairs bring
