Let us all rejoice!

Let us all rejoice! People are living longer than they did.
 Statistics, usually pretty cold and uninteresting, have gwen us a great story this time. .'> ! They tell us that the average of life has been extended 30 years during the past 100 years. Most of this increase has come during the past 50 years.
 At the rate we are going the Biblical allotment of three score and ten years, as the maximum of a well-rounded life, will probably be extended to five score and ten, perhaps more, according to scientists.
 This is discouraging to Un- dertakers, but to be honest with you, we cannot sympa- thlze with them, and we do not believe you can, no matter how much you may like some of them personally.
 Many Undertakers will have to find a more profitable voca- tion. In New York City for instance, there are 1900 Un- dertakers to take care of 72.- 900 people who die on the aver age annually.
 This is an average of only 40 cases a year per Undertakes. The result is that most of them find it hard to make a livins{
 People will not die, even in highly congested New York City, where 5000, 900 people or more are getting along great. despite everything.
 You realize, of course, why people are living longer, don't you? Is it not because they are taking good care of their stomachs?
 Result: Better health and a brighter outlook on life. Peo- pie are bound to live longer if they get good things to eat regularly. Of course, there is not a thing that is fit to eat unless one knows that it is made of pure food.
 Fortunately, people are pro tected these days by Honest Manufacture of Pure Food Pro ducts. The labels they use on their products have proved their integrity. People are not now afraid to eat any food that carries an honest label.
 It is said that one touch of ptomaine poisoning, even if it does not kill, shortens life five years. It is very seldom now that anybody gets a touch of ptonaine poisoning.
 Quality Bakers of America all bear the above insignia which does not change to meet any new fad that comes up. It is a mark that spells Uniform Quality year in and year out. day in and day out. Hence, it has earned Public Confidence and Good Will.
 The public always appre- ciates careful, sustained effort on the part of anybody in any line to give them articles of food that can be consumed safely and at the same time can be counted on to preserve strength and health. The greatest of all stand-bys in every home is Bread. Called "The Staff of Life," it proves that it is every day. There is no other article of food used more universally or that is more necessary. Therefore, every family is entitled to Good Bread of a Quality that is sus- tained scientifically and con- scientiously.
 A very large part of this pub lie knows Our Bread and eats it regularly. More may eat it if they wish. Any Good grocer will supply you.

charming knows what to do about it
Poor things, what a disappointment
Think Of expecting to become one Of the Elite and then find
ing out that you are just plain Mrs. Nobody after all, no matter how
much money you have, nor how big your house nor how many
servants you pay.
1t must be very hard to want to be an Elite and not be able
to be one, even when you are perfectly willing to pay for it Rather
too bad it seems to me. You can buy clothes and you can buy a
complexion and you can buy manners and you can buy an eduea,
ton-of sorts. Why, you can even buy family portraits and label
them Great Uncle William. If you are discreet about it no one will
ever be the wiser.
But this elite business-whisper, dear ladies of the melan-
choly nine-don't feel too badly about it'll You haven't had your
money long enough, that's all. Just hold on to it for a few years
and by the time your little daughters are riding in the park with
a correct groom and an irreproachable governess they'll be among
the elite and you can be with them.
Isn't it a glorious thought? / don't know just what the elite
do that makes the life they lead so enhancing. They eat the same
food, drink the same drinks, wear the same clothes, fall in love and
out again the same way, quarrel with their in-laws just as the IN
elite do-and to be quite truthful about it, they often look a bit
bored, don't you think? Some Of the daughters are really rather
plain--havent you observed il?
Honestly now, ladies of the mournful nine, what did you think
you were going to gain by having your names in the Elite Direc-
tory? The envy of Cousin Emmaine, the spteful comment of old
Aunt Hannah, a few rather cruel jokes from the real elite, some
more circulars and a whole lot more begging letters!
Well, anyhow, we are all sorry for you. II must have been
a heartrending disappointment-to say nothing of the money
involved.
