bread flour went up only 10 cents barrel. GA barrel makes 300 pounds of bread.) The Wallace es- inmates wece based on use of the most expensive fiours.
 But bakers usually use a larger percentage of the soft wheat flour when its price is low in relation to price of hard wheat Hours.
 CHALLENGE TO BAKERS
 The AAA can't tell the extent of this use recently-and the effect on costs-because 1t has no access to the books of baking companies. If the average cost of making loaf of bread has increased only a quar- ter or third of 8 cent, it's a secret to officials here.
 All AAA can do is ask the bakers to submit their cost figures or challenge them to explain to the consuming public. Which isn't al- ways a safe procedure, as was tn- dicated recently when the depart ment of agriculture found that a certain large packing company ap- parently had reported about three times as large a profit to the SEC as 1t had to the, department under the packers and stockyards act.
 Bakers, for instance, contend their costs for shortening have gone up 300 per cent, whereas AAA can't see how it could possibly have been more than 70 per cent. It's hard for the innocent bystand- CT to solve this seeming discrep- ancy.
 PROFITS ARE UP
 The Wall Street Journal reports that business with baking companies has been better, in most instances, this year than last. General Baking up to October showed an increase in net earning from $l,233,510 to $1,- 383, 1910, and Ward Baking for the first half year improved from net loss of $3,895 for the same period last year to $320,397 of net profit. Continental Baking, on the other hand, fell from $836, ,992 in profits to $736,587.
 You won't get much of this detail when the politicians start hollering about the price of bread. Poli- ticians have lovely way of simpli- flying things.
 AAA has plenty for which to arl- swer, but 1t also has the ,mconl- fortable assurance that 1t will have to answer for plenty for which 1t isn't to blame. The recent blast of the National Restaurateurs associa- ton - promising to discourage consumption of pork foods, blam- ing the government entirely for high meat prices and completely ig- noring the big drouth-was a case m point.

Whats Behind Higher Bread Prices?
ngredients Up Reply Than Half Cent Boost Justified Political

early 1883. It had increased to 8.3 cents by July, 1884, and remained at about that figure until the cur rent boosts of one to two cents a loaf, The original increase was considered more than enough to cover the half cent in processing taxes, the higher costs of ingredi- ents, and still leave three-quarters of cent for added labor costs and larger profits.
 Thus Wallace tries to laugh off the claim that the latest in- crease is due to that favorite goat of food-makers, the processing tax. But he has to admit that the cost of ingredients-four, sugar. malt, shortening and dried milk-has ad- vanced in the last year. So he says that no more than maximum of half a cent increase is justified and that a general one cent increase means $60,O0O,00O or more of added profit for bakers.
 IT MAY BE LESS
 What Wallace doesn't know is just how much less than half a cent of increase is justified by higher costs. His figures, showing that the cost of flour in pound of bread is 35-100ths of cent higher and shortening 13-100th of a cent up, are computed on an old base with the assumption that bakers still use the same proportion of high-grade hard wheat flour as in other years and the same amount and quality of shortening.
 Over in Baltimore the most ex- pensive kind of bread flour rose $1. 20 a barrel between January and october. But the cheapest type of

Of things I can tell the lady in the
case.
THE first thing Is that every COM
planning wife brings down upon
herself the fate she resents. She
makes all of her dismal prophecies
come true. She kills with her own
hand the goose that lays the golden
egg, for she takes every bit Of pep and
ambition and confidence out Of
her husband, so that he is defeated
even before he begins to fight. The
woman who never lets her husband
forget that she regards him as a
failure becomes a failure. The wife
who always belittles her husbands
judgment and ability, who Is forever
telling him that other men can do so
and so, turns him into coward and a
quitter. The wife who Is always re-
preaching her husband because he
doesn't make so much money as some
other man kills his ability to make
any money at all
Before any Of us can succeed we
must have faith in ourselves. We
must believe in ourselves. We must
be sure that we can do the thing we
are attempting to do. Otherwise we
lack the hope and enthusiasm, the
push and energy that enable us to
achieve, and If q wife deliberately robs
her husband Of these she simply dooms
him to failure.
A 8 LONG as a mans wife believes
n in him, as long as she tells him
how great and wonderful she thinks
he is, he will come up again and will
fight through almost any difficulty to
success. But If his wife does not be-
heve in him, If she throws cold water
on his every plan, if she puts the bad
luck sign on his every endeavor, she
takes away his every chance to win
out.
During the war we were told the i'm
portance Of keeping up the soldiers
morale and that the spirit with which
soldiers went into battle largely de-
termined the results, whether victory
or defeat. It is pity that wives do
not realize that morale Is just as
| important In the home as on the
battlefield. DOROTHY DIX.

Mind Retreats While
Poison of Anger Is
Having Effect.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

DEAR CHILDREN: Losing your
temper is the most childish thing
you can do. 1t puts you back once
more to the day when, little 2-year-
old, you had temper tantrum, kicked
and howled and got blue in the face
because you wanted the light out of
the lamp. Your mother had to take
charge Of you and bring you back to
sanity. Once your balance had been
restored you were put to bed to rest
up and start again. You were a baby,
Of course, so you were excused and
disciplined.
Now you are past your teens and
people expect you to take charge OF
yourself and carry your share of the
load along, whatever road you may be
travelling. If things do not work
smoothly-and there are many times
temper. When you find it slipping,
count 80, say the Lords prayer, re-
peat the words Of some fine old hymn,
silently, and before half minute has
gone by you will be in control OF
yourself.
Losing your temper Is throwing
away your own power. While the
storm RACES up and down your body
your mind retreats, your reason lies
Smothered under your primitive,
childish emotion Of anger. Nothing
Is accomplished until your reason is
restored and your mind sits in power
once more. You are weary after the
struggle. Your nerves are twitching.
Your mind is foggy.
Temper Is the voice Of anger and
anger Is a poison. You would not
take poison knowingly, but you let
yourself slip into anger and generate
poison in your own body and suffer
its consequences. Your mother
guarded you against this evil when
you were small. Is she to follow you
all the days Of your life saying. Count
1 and 20; count 4 and 20?"
All the time you were raging your
enemy was planning to take advan-
tage of your weakness. He did not
lose his temper. When he saw you
losing yours he sat back and smiled.
He knew he had you If he waited
just q few minutes and kept smiling
at you And you were childish enough
to fall into the trap.
Temper settles nothing. After you
have had your tantrum and poured
out O lot of energy you needed for
good work and said a great many
things that you didn't mean, you had
to 20 away and wait for the strength
that came out of calm. Then you
had to start over again with the ad-
vantage on the side Of the other party.
There is no good word to be said
for a temper tantrum. 1t costs you
health and power and friends and
happiness. It brings you nothing OF
good. There Is no reason for afflicting
yourself with 1t. Excusing yourself
by saying "I have a dreadful temper.
it runs in the family" is a bad habit
of self indulgence. Break 1t. Make
yourself smile at the first tremor and
repeat whatever charm you have
against it. Prayer is the best one.
Then set to work. The minute you
feel temper coming on repeat your
prayer and start to work with all your
might. A busy person holds on to his
temper, because his whole being is
under control. Yours, A. 7.

Needlepoint, as we know 1t, is d.
rect descendant Of those tapestries
which have set such high standard
of value for textiles throughout the
ages.
At first tapestries were not woven
for beauty and pastime alone-they
we're very real necessity in the un-
heated, high-ceilinged rooms of the
day. Covering the bare cold walls,
and forming screens against draughtS,
they also held in the heat of the great
fires. Usually they were made by the
women of the household, under the
direction of the lady of the manor,
and the tedious hours were whiled
away in storytelling by various men,
bers Of the group or entertainment
by wandering minstrels and lutte
players.
Later, of course, the ambition to
make the tapestries as beautiful and
deathless as great paintings was
born and then began the weaving
and stitching of the huge and exquisite
pieces that are now enShrined in
museums and private collections.

clung to the lovely textiles ever since.
Thus, the piece of needlepoint which
you make today will become the heir
loom of tomorrow, with an atmos-
phere of delicate charm and rose
leaf memories clinging to it always.
For the modern woman needlepoint
has been simplified tremendously.
Most of the shops have complete sets
Of stamped canvases, the woods to
complete the design, and comprehen-
sive directions. The work itself Is
not complicated-it is only half
stitch version of the old-fashioned
cross-stitch which you probably
learned as child.
AS a matter of fact, many Of the
schools are now teaching needlepoint
in their sewing classes. My small

Despite Its
Sick Spells
Nature Provides an
Extra Set of Means
to Meet Needs.
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

A PHYSICIAN knows that the body
is not like a machine that is
working at its greatest capacity all
the time. AS a matter Of fact, your
body is capable Of doing a great deal
more work than it is ever called upon
to do.
Thus we find an extra eye. an extra
kidney, extra glands in various parts
of the body; we know that the liver is
much larger than it needs to be, that
the heart can beat twice as often and
pump twice as much blood with every
beat as it does under ordinary cir
cumstanceS. In fact, half Of such
important organs as the liver, pan
creas, kidneys. lungs, stomach, small
intestine and large intestine, could be
removed and the body would still keep
on doing its work.
As Prof. w. B. Cannon, Harvard
University, points out, Nature is ready
for more than the ordinary needs of
the body, and it is because the body
has this extra strength, which it can
use in emergencies, that the physician
is able to restore health to those who
are sick.
A trained physician knows the body,
knows how much extra strength the
body can exert in emergencies. and
endeavors to prevent anything inter-
fering with the bodys effort to use
this extra power or strength.
Thus outside heat, and heat manu-
factured by the body through the
processes going on within 1t, may in
crease the body temperature to dan
gerous height unless the alert ply
sician prevents it. Or great fear can
act on certain organs and cause great
body disturbance. The family physi-
clan can so explain this that the
patient is treasured and loses his fear.
