He was the first colonial premier

the time of the queens jubilee, in 1870,
was the occasion of the first entry
of an overseas prime minister into the
official councils of Great Britain. Sir

This suggestion appeals to us very

season soon at hand it is both timely
and important that attention should
be called to the necessity of the prop
er care of household refuse, espe-
cially garbage. The city ordinances
provide that every household must
have a metal garbage can, provided
with a tight, removable cover and of
sufficient capacity to take care of
family garbage between times Of col
lection and removal
By far too many citizens of Chi
cage are careless and negligent in
providing these receptacles. They
will use almost any old thing in
which to deposit their garbage, such
as tubs, old wash boilers or any cast
off receptacles that they regard as
fit for nothing else. This means that
flies have access to garbage, which
furnishes places for them to breed,
to say nothing of the OdOT and litter
that generally result from such care

It is discOuraging, to say the least,
to have neighbOTs Of this kind who
are careless in a matter so closely af-

of this kind are Of special Importance
and there is no better time to form
good garbage habits than at the be-

dustry."
Meanwhile. figures compiled by the
producing bakers themselves show
that the cost of the various materials
that go to the making of a one.pound
loaf of bread. such as now sells nearly
everywhere for 10 cents. is trifle ov
err cents. That estimate is arrived
at follows.
A barrel of -four costs Sill; two
pounds Of yeast cost so cents; three
pounds Of salt cost Az cents; five
pounds Of sugar cost as cents, four
pounds OF lard cost so cents. total,
$12.795 That quantity of material
makes 3l2 loaves of bread, making
each loaf cost Al cents. 1t is said
that this estimate is really a little
too high, because bakers have not
been paying quite so much for -four
and sugar as the figures given indi.
cate. There are disinterested experts
who put the cost of the materials in
a pound loaf today as low as 4 cents
The bakers, reckoning this basic
cost at Al cents per loaf, add an equal
amount for cost Of production and
profits, selling the bread to the retail
err at about So cents per loaf. The
retailer makes the difference between
that figure and 10 cents
Whether the bakers and retailers
are making more money than they
ought to is probably a question for
experts to decide But certainly to
the ordinary consumer it looks as If
9 cents or thereabouts is too much to
pay for baking and selling cents

Anyhow, the American housewife
sits up and takes notice at mention
OF these figures When a woman with

that she can save nearly 6 cents q
pound on all the bread her famil,
consumes by baking the bread her
self, she'll proceed to bake it.
That constitutes the real danger
