New York, March c9,--lf you re 90, you're problem.
 Grave men of science arc getting gray and wrinhlod as they ponder on the ulan of 50 and wonder what in the world is to be done about him.

One reason Is that it IS possible 10 save more child life per dollar than older people. IL is easier, too, 10 obtain money in chlIJ- -SaNlng campaigns than for those of the higher age groups,
 But while the child death rate is falling, the death rate from tn" diseases that play greatest havoc during the working span of life has been increasing. Death rates from diabetes. nephritis and heart disease have been mounting steadily.

1 The real truth of the matter is, good folks, and we want you to know it and believe it, that we put so much Quality in our product that we make less net profit on loaf of our bread than the average business man would consider as . safe margin.
 But we are not the averags business mana claim that Wo are justified in making, and for this reason:
 We as individuals do not stand alone in our production efforts.
 We have the earnest CO., operation of 89 other wholesale bakers in our production ef- forts; so we are actually . com posite of 90 men (9O men roll-; ed in one, if you please).
  This makes it possible for us to put so much quality in our product that the public is able to buy it and get it regularly, ; and with positive assurance: that it is getting full value for it's money.

At a recent conference of the. Production Managers of Qual. ty Bakers of America, held iu New York city, under th1 auspices of our Central Sesvics Bureau which maintains head quarters at 469 Fifth Avenue, the most noted Quality" ave nue in the world, there was dis played, almost 8 truck load of
 amples of the products q members so that there might be "a pick-to-pieces" party md believe us they did . lot of
 picking"
 These production managess,
 ull of the spirit of the organi.
 ation, and knowing that they re always at liberty to speak their minds freely, had .
 pirited discussion, each ,ons setting forth the merit of his particular product.
 This is always . good way, to get results from 8 discussion. There are no "yes, yes" msa among the Production Maue. gers. They stand for what they believe is right, 90 asnong so many stand-patters every one of them gets m idea how he can improve upon his i6a of what is right.

 We wish you, reader, could have overheard this discussioK.

Every time I poured in an addition from the green tea pot it loaned and bubbl- ed so that the whole car was soon on the trick. You would be surp- rised at the number of people trav- cling; the trains were crowded, and the depots were just packed, almost as solid as during the time of the War.

 We were delayed three hours in the Custom House at Queensland because my suitcase was hidden under I don't know how many oth- CTS and we had to wait for that blooming suitcase.
 When we went to look for a cab we were nearly mobbed by the Queenstown jaunting cab drivers Finally, the hotel man steered us to the jaunting car and as looked up the jaunting car man said, Step up, sir" As it was quite dark I wondered how I was going to climb up on that high car and whether when I attempted it, my trousers would not come to the parting of the ways. Finally the jaunting car man said, 'There is a step, sir" and I discovered the tiny step and mounted up on the jaunting car for my first ride in that wonderful little carriage.
 We were driven to Brady'S hotel and shown to our room. And after our experience, we just sat on the bed, which creaked and groaned and laughed till the tears ran down into our collars.
 We saw the wonderful Cathedral of O,,aoy, Town, ,1,i+l, o ,,oo o,,if;oor+ view of the city, and went on, the next day to Cork; then to Blarney, where we visited the Blarney Castle wherein reposeS the wonderful Blarney Stone. It is a beautiful lit tie place, but it is pity that they are allowing the Blarney Castle to go to pieces. We kissed the Blarney Stone, as I promised you I would do. The next day we set out for Killarney to see the lakes mort alized in song and verse.
 The air was balmy and every thing looked fresh We went thrO- ugh an estate of eight miles to reach the Lakes. This is an estate that was bought by wealthy Am erican heireSS from the father of her husband, and she lives there now in a beautiful mansion.
