S41 Says the le -emelt socialist leader,
Ai. Jule; Guesle, nml he bases his as-
bertiutl on the fact that modern ma-
chinery has trached .such a pitch of per-
fection that seven men can now grow
enough corn, grind it to flour, and bake
it into bread to teed 1,000 people all
the year round.
M. Gue:tele pray be guilty of some
slight exaggeration, but the fact of the
matter is that very few of us have the
!cast idea what machinery is doing for
industry. Already handwork hardly
counts, and new• labor-saving inventions
cense along every day of the year. In
the factory, the euunting-louse, the
farm, the road, or the home, the story
is tale same.

This machine will cut 70 to 100 acres

sacks of grain in the sante tinge, and

35 cents the acre!
WAGES INCREASED BY MACHINERY.

Ago a roller in a steel works vas paid

To -day by the aid of improved machin-

were in the old days.
In large baker the bread is now

\\•hen a child allows a disinclination
to take any food it is reasonable to try to
induoe hits to eat, but foolish to try to

a child to cat more than he needs that
thi following table is worth bearing in

Between the ages of 7 and 10 he should

cent. of a man's portion should be his
