The Importance of not exceeding ones income is a hackneyed
homly cngagingly elaborated by the late Mr.. Micawber, who would
nevertheless have enjoyed sitting in with the gentry above referred
to; but even rs according to our texts we divide mankind arbitrarily
INTO sheep and goats, fat and lean, Industrious and idle. w draw a
line between those who do and those who DO not distinguish capital
from income. The obligation SO to distinguish rests OF no one In
this frecst OF countries it is permissible to make one pot of everything
ana four-flfths OF as NJ Obliged to. Perhaps the most unpopular
word IN the lexicon OF contemporary speech is capitalist Every
one, from the executive to the tax collector. and from the "a
collector to the man IN the street, loses no opportunity to discredt
1T. A cynlc might have convincing grounds for the belief that a
capitalist in this country is any one who possesses more than the
speaker or writer. Thus a dish washer who inhcrts 81 600 becomes
one IN the eyes OF the less fortunate pick and shovel man next door
But stripped OF its cant, a capitalist may be said to be any individual
whose support is derived either wholly or in part from the income Of
Investments. "A reprchensihe status truly, yet not without its apollo
glsts. We can all recall the example of the statesman-one of our
greatest commoners-who, after forbidding us to press down the
crown OF thorns upon the brow of labor " cruelty mankind upon a
cross OF gold, felt unable to live ON his salary of $4,000 at United
States secretary OF state, and went OF circuit with yodlers and hell
ringers IN order to exc il out. And why? Because he did not Wis to
eat INTO his capita, which was said to aggregate several hundred
thousand dollars. What better authority could we desire for the
proposition that despite stump oratory the accumulation of wealth is
not deemed un-American,e even by apostles of the new freedom, some

Modern package machinery used by all
large factories weighs and seals package
foods at the minimum cost of time, labor
and material. One machine with two
operators. for instance. packs. weighs and
seals over 10000 packages of flour in a
24-hour day.
The average small carton n which food
is packed costs less when purchased and
Snlpped In carloads than paper bags and
Irvine purchased by the average store
keeper.
Bulk Foods.
A heavy wastage by splitting in weighing
and wrapping bulk goods.
Much loss In handling and ~transporta-
ton of bulk goods by moisture, absorb
ton and through contamination from
other goods with which they come in
contact.
Through lack of knowledge as to exact
proportion of bulk goods required in
preparation for the table. excessive
amounts are often used. The excess is
often wasted, whether thrown away at
once or warmed and served again in un-
attractive and unpalatable ways.
Inferior articles may be easily substi-
tuted for staple goods IL sold in bulk in
stead of packages under makers name
and brand
foods are not identified.
Foods in bulk are often un%attractive
i'll appearance and nave lost their zest
and flavor.
Each purchase must be separately
weighed. wrapped and tied.
Hand wrapping and weighing results in
enormous waste of time and labor. AT
least 40 people would be required to
pack 10000 packages of flour by hand in
"A hours and the work would be done far
less satisfactorily and the weights less
accurate.
Paper bags of suitable weight and Irvine
OF sufficient strength bought by the aver
age grocer costs more. than suitable car
tons bought many millions at Il time by
food manufacturers.
There are approximately 375. 900 grocers
in the United States. 1t is estimated that
from 60%o to 1910 of the food products
handled are now packed in small pack
ages. C~onservatively stated. at least one
additional MAJ would be required on the
average in each store IL bulk foods only
were handled. An army more than half
as large as that raised by our first
selective draft would be required to weigh
and wrap these bulk goods for consumers.
The work is now don by the aid of the
packaging machinery by a few thousand
women.

GIVES LIFE TO SAVE
TRAPPED SUB CREW
With Boat Fast on Bottom
Commander Volunteers for
Death Mission.

London (by mail)-The king has been
pleased to approve OF the %posthumous
award of the Albert Medal in gold for
%gallantry in saving life at sea to Com
mander Francis Herbert Heavening-
ham Goodhart, u. S. o., r. N. The
account of the services in respect OF
which the media has been conferred is
as follows:
owing to an accident one of his
ma1esty's submarines sank and be-
came fast on the bottom in 80 feet of
water, parts of the vessel becoming
Hooded. After several hours. the only
prospect of saving those remaining on
board appeared to be for some one to.
escape from the submarine in order to
concert measures with the scuer
who We're by this time present on the
surface. Commander Goodhart. after
consultation with the commanding Of
nicer. volunteered to make the attempt.
Accordingly, after placing in his belt
a small tin cylinder with Instructions
for hte %rescuers. Commander Goodhart
went into the coming tower with yhe
commanding officer. The coming tow
er was flooded up to their waists. and
the high pressure air was turned on;
The clips of coming tower were
knocked off, and the coming tower lid
was soon wide open. Commander
Goodhart then stood up in the DOME,
took a deep breath. and made his es-
cape. but, unfortunately, was blown by
the pressure of air against part of the
superstructure, and was killed by the
force of the blow.
The commanding officer. whose in
tention it had been to return to the in
side of the submarine after Command
er GoOdhart'S escape. was involuntar-
ily forced to the surface by the air
pressure. and 1t was thus rendered
possible for the D13nS for reScuinp
those still inside the submarine to be
carried out quickly.
Commander Goodhart displayed ex-
IRENE and heroic daring in attempting
to escape from the submarine in or
der to ave the ives OF those remain
ing on board, and thoroughly realized
theforlorn nature of his act. His last
remark to the commanding officer
was: II l don't get up, the tin cylind.
