| = When Matthew c. Brush, president
! OF the Boston Elevated railroad. found
his men were getting restless he set
tied the trouble in characteristic fash
ion. In the American Magazine Alfred
Grunberg says: x In
Constant argument did not appeal
to Brush. 1t was not his way OF doing
business He buckled zip his belt, and
plunged into the muldle. His first
move was to call W. d. Mahon. head
Of ,ha National Garments union, into
his otEi:e~ and lock the door, ... ii,
Now, Mahon.' he said, drawing up
a chair aud leaning forward with his
friendly smile, we're here in my Office,
The doors are locked There are NO
stenographers concealed anywhere, no
photographs. no one to listen. The
curtains are drawn. We're here alone.
But before we can do anything I've
got to know you and you've got to
know me. You tell NE all about your
self. and Ill tell YOU who ! am and
what I've done 81, :
And thus the labor leader and tho
frank. friendly railroad official drew
back the curtains Of reticence and sus.
picion and showed each other the
goods that We're within them. Mahon
saw Brush the newSboy and Brush the
apprentice as we'll as Brush the vic4
president. Brush saw NIahon as fell
low man whose heart was bound up In
the welfare OF labor. ~
"'Alahon found out that was
square, Brush said afterward. and I
found out that he was square. He was
open and honest: so was l. We were
both convinced that neither one was
trying to play tricks on the Other y
For nineteen hours the two men,
behind locked doors. debated the COM
pick problems. each Jealous for the tp-
terests he represented. At the end OF
that time the labor leader walked out
with mutual agreement, in his hand.
Not only was this agreement sstisfac.

called it one Of the finest documents Of

During housekeeping season it is not

has recently issued instructions show
ing the right and wrong way to lift
heavy objects, such as ingots and cast
iugs.
The way which is condemned and
which many workmen thoughtlessly
follow consists in grasping the load
with both hands while stopping over
and scarcely bending the legs at all.
Lifting in this posture throws most OF
the weight on the lower part Of the
back, where the muscles are weakest.
aud may produce severe strain or
rupture.
THE proper way is to grasp the load
after squattins down close to it. so
tina. the knees are drawn well up
against the body. Lifting in this man.
ner throws the weight on the thighs
and shoulders. which are strong and
best suited to the severe stress that
comes in raising the body to an erect
posture"

A SLICE OF BREAD.
The Result Of Wasting Only Ono .
Day In Every Home.

A single slice of bread seems an un.
Important thing. In many, households
one or more slices of bread daily are
thrown away and not used for human
food. Sometimes stale quarter or half
loaves are thrown out.
Yet one good sized slice Of bread,
such as child likes to cut--weighs an
ounce. 1t contains almost three-fourths
Of an ounce OF flour.
II every one Of the rountry's 2O,OOO.-
OOO homes wastes on the average only
one slice Of bread day the country Is
throwing away daily over l4.0OO.O0O
ounces OF fOur--Over $4,000 pounds, or
enough -four for over million one
pound loaves a day. For u full year ut
this rate, there would be Il waste Of
over 3l9,OOOO0O pounds Of t,our-l .5O0-
900 barrels of tlour-enough to make
E65, 100000 .loayes.
AS it takes four and onehalf bushels
of wheat to make barrel OF ordinary
flour, this waste would represent the
-four from over 100000 bushels Of
wheat.
Fourteen aud nine-tenths bushels Of
wheat on the average are raised per
acre. 1t would take the fruit Of some
100000 acres just to provide single
slice Of bread to be wasted daily in
every home.
TO produce this much -four calls for
an army of farmers, railway men and
flour mill people. TO get the -four to
the consumer ca.ls for many freight
cars and the use Of many tons Of coal.
But, some one says. Il full slice OF
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very we'll. Make it daily slice for
every four or even ten or every thirty
homes. make weekly or monthly slice
in every home or make the wasted slice
thinner. The waste OF lour involved is
still appalling, altogether too great to
be tolerated when wheat Is scarce.
Any waste of bread is inexcusable
when there are so many ways Of using
stale bread to cook delicious Dishes
