+ PRICE or BREAD

The sensational rise in the price o.
flour makes : higher price for broad
inevitable. II the bakers do not a.
vance the price Of the single loaf. they
must reduce its size, or dilute il
quality.
For the poor immigrant, who often
pays not over 81 q week for food. bread
is the main dependence. He may have
his kettle of soup, brewed from bony
hunks of meat that no one else will
touch. But this costs little, and 10
merely an appetizer. His long rolled
loaf. serving for several meals, 10 the
main backbone for his muscular task.
When he acquires q family his board
bill increases, but a household of bread
enters lives cheaply. But q Is to SO
per cent. advance is a blow.
Mrs. Julian Heath, of New York.
president Of the Housewives league,
says that in this exigency more fami-
lies should accustom themselves to the
use of corn bread. the price of which
has not risen appreciably. Also much
nigh. be said of the value and health
fulness of rye.
1t is a singular fact that q great
many well-to-do families always use
corn and rye flour prominently. pre-
ferring their flavor, while many poor
families continue to stick to white
wheat flour. even IN times of scarcity,
and in spite of the fact that much of
the nutriment of wheat is lost in the
process of boiling.
In many old-time homes. corn johnny
cake was a special treat that made the
children's eyes sparkle. Served steam
ing hot. it brought the comfort of sum-
mer sunshine on a wintry morning. and
it's golden color made it seem almost
like sponge~cake.
Hasty pudding was another staple
that the old timers would prefer to the
most fancy dessert your modern cook
would devise. White. flour products
will come high before the new crop is
on the market, and Thrifty cooks will
seek substitutes.

THERE'S A CHANCE FOR YOU.

What would the average youth 81
today think Of his chance in life If be
were obliged to change places with the
young Abe Lincoln, the child Of the
backwoods? What If he found him
self in q rude log cabin, without win
dows OF floors, in the heart of the will
derness, far away from schools,
churches and railroads, without news
papers. books or money? What would
he think of having to walk nine miles
to attend q crude school IN a little cab
in? What would the average youth OF
today think of securing the country for
so miles around on foot to borrow q
few books, and then, after a hard days
work. to read them at night by the
light of q log fire? What if he were
obliged to start in life, like Lincoln,
with less than q single years schooling?
The youth of today have advantages
and opportunities undreamed of by
Lincoln and those of his time. But
with these advantages come obliga-
tions,
In this time of easily acquired and
universal Intelligence there comes the
dawn of a new age, q swift change to
q new world.
Our grandfathers would be amazed,
dumbfounded, could they know of the
countless great innovations which have
become matters of everyday conven-
fence and even necessity to us, chang
ing ~inconceivably all human life and
character upon the whole earth, in the
last few years.
The telephone hat carries the voice
and the graphophone that preserves it
are new. Electric cars whose lines
cobweb the contents, and airships
which are accomplishing the seemingly
impossible, are new. New is the wire
less, which to the query of Job: "Canst
thou send the lightnings and give me
answer?" flashes it's ''Yesr' across the
sea a. quick as thought. The moving
pictures, whose possibilities for en-
~lightenment are as yet scarcely touched,
are new. Subway trains and sky
scrapers, revolutionizing city life, are
new.
And these are but a few of the eve-
ryday conveniences, necessI.. /.
have come rapidly with the dawning of
the new age, the change to q new
world.
Alert indeed must be the man, in any
line of achievement, who keeps pace
with the swift advancement. And
voc to him who lags behind! His lot
inevitably is cast with the "hewers Of
wood and drawers of water"
Under these new conditions of rap
id increase of universal intelligence and
~inconceivably swift material develop
ment, no one knows into how big a
man he may develop if he will but util-
ize his extra time in studying some
thing the world wants.
No man in this world of ours today
can honestly say be never had a
chance" The greatest chance in the
world-the chance to train himself is
open to every man.
