So much for the merchants respon'
sibilityfor this sad state OF affairs
Now for the other side.
A merchant starts in business with
a certain amount of capital which he
invests in merchandise, perhaps pay
ing cash, or he may have arranged for
thirty days credit He sells this mer-
chandise on credit, relying of course
on the promises of his customers to
pay for same within stated time
and orders more merchandise to re-
plenish his stock, which in turn IS
disposed of in the same manner. His
bills become due, and since he has
been unable to collect but a fraction
of what is due him from his custom
ers, he is compelled to draw on his re-
serve fund to meet his obligations. II
this condition is permitted to con-
tinue indefinitely he is forced uiti'
mately to borrow funds from bank
in order to pay for the merchandise
for which his customers owe him.
Is this not INCONSISTENT and
WHOLLY UNJUST5

1.-THE keepers generally place heavy

venture on 1t. In one case the men
sent in trained elephant first In the
hope that the newly captured elephant
would follow. The new elephant stop

and made 1t evident that he would go
no farther.
'4They offered him all kinds of food
and addressed him with encouraging
words; they led the trained elephant
out and then in again with rush, In
the hope that the other would follow
In the excitement of the moment. But
1t oil had no effect whatever; there the
balky one stood, waving his trunk and
glancing from left to right and then

WHALERs GET NO WAGES.


The Grew Divides Third of the Prof.
its After Each Cruise.
The business principles Of American
whaling are often mentioned as an ex-
cellent example Of industrial co-opera-
ton.
A ship Is stocked and equipped by
the owners, and the profits Of the cruise
are distributed in the ratio Of two
thirds to the capital invested and one
third to labor. No member Of the
crew receives wages or guaranty Of
any sort, but to each is allotted GER
tain share, termed the "lay," Of the net
results.
In general, the captains lay ranges
from fifteenth to an eighth, accord
ing to his whaling record. The mate
and three lower officers, the four boat
steerers or harpooners, the cooper,
steward, cook, carpenter, seamen and
green hands receive proportionate
shares, and so down 10 the cabin boy,
whose lay is In the neighborhood Of
one two-hundredth, called the long
lay"
Thus the profit Of each individual de-
pends upon the success Of the cruise.
Ships have sometimes failed to pay for
their fitting out. On the other hand,
the Onward of New Bedford once re-
turned with a catch worth at the pre-
vailing prices $305.000, of which the
captains lay was $4,000 and that OF

WIN You Eat Food.

Nine-tcnths of our food Is eaten to
supply heat and energy. The amount
Of heat and energy required by indi-
viduals is reckoned In calories The
most accurate way to determine how
much food to buy for family is to
figure how many calorles the members
require. Tables Of food values with
directions for using them are published
by both national and state agricultural
departments. There are also simple
textbooks that explain clearly the use
fulness of reckoning by calorles.
These books are readily understood
after a little study of them. When one
knows approximately how many calo-
ries each member Of the family re-
quires and how many calories certain
amounts Of food contain, one can set
tie with definite figures the old ques-
tion that used to DO answered by

Is Man Destined to Lose His Toos In

That the human race is slowly evoiv-

Of Washington In the Medical Record.
DR.. Able points to the horses hoof
and its evolution from the five toed
foot OF the prehistoric horse by the
dropping Of one toe after another and
the consolidation Of the bones from
the knee down.
'When VIC look at the human skele-

Of them" he continues, ut does not
take much Imagination to see suggest

utive little toes an early stage In tie

further would lead to diminution Of
the number OF toes on mans FOOT"
And lie closes his article with these
words: 1--WE come thus to the sugges-
tion Of clubfoot as a tendency toward
the dropping of the post-nxial digit
group Of the lower limb. And this
dropping of a digit group would seem
to be due to restricted development in
