Every 10 cows have got to | furnish milk and cream and butter for 51 people, instead of for just 38, as then. Now it doesn't take a very learned mathematician to figure out that, if you divide into 51 parts the product which used to be divided into 1%, each separate piece will be smaller than it used to be. There may be as | much to go 'round, but it has to %o | ‘round farther, among more. | Or, putting It another way, if every | one of the 8 insists upon having just ! |as much milk and cream and butter now as formerly, it is perfectly clear that the other 13 of the present 51 will | have to go without—or bid up mighty | high to get some away from the 38. It seems to be a market truism, when | there's plenty of anything, enousgh to| all around vith \something left | over, then the price is low. But when | there isn’t enough of a thing to go| 'round and somebody has to go with-| cut or with only an insufficient sup- ply, then the one who wants it badly | enough to pay the siggest price will get it. Which also sends the general | price up, of course. If we assume that the 10 cows of the! census give just as much milk and cream and butter now as a similar 10| cows did in 1870, nothing is more clear | than that 51 people can’t get as much | milk and cream and butter aplece as| | 25 did.

One is | the way which thesé New York boy- j cotters propose, by stopping the con- | {sumption of butter. Of course, if 13| people out of every 51 will at once and | ‘lompletel) stop all use of milk, cream and butter, then there'll be plenty for | | the other 38, just as there used to be. | And down wil] go the price But it's |rather more than ord:r difficult job tg get 13 out of every 51 people in the whole United States to agree to | | such a course. My own impression is | | that, while it may be possible, it is | mighty improbable that anything of the sort will be done, { _Another way would be for a few| | thousand of the people Who now choose to live in town and buy but- jter to move into the country, keep | cows and sell butter. We don't any of us expect them to do that. | A third way would be for those us v«hn keep cows to keep better cow so that 10 improved and romrmod | bossies would give a good deal more milkk than the 10 runts of 1870, It |~'\ clear as any of the other ings in | our arithmetic that, if 10 cows in 1870 | averaged 38 pounds of butter a week, | and 10 cows in 1910 averaged 51 {pounds of. butter a week, then there'd | be just as much butter apiece for the consumers, all around, in 1910 as in| | 1870, , Looking at it from the dairyman’s| | Point of view, 50 cent butter is not wholly a misfortune.

McDonald a tract of 30 acres of what is described as perhaps the most valu- able land in the city. This tract, which s now valued at well over $1,000,000. is Intended to be used as a college campus, with dormitories to be event- ually built along its sides. The total of Sir Willlam McDonald’s gifts to McGill is now between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. McGill has hitherto been escpecially well equipped for turning out lawyers and engineers, but a new era is evidently nmow opening out be- fore it in which it will be enabled by broadening its teaching in the human- ities to become a strong and well- rounded university in all branches—in fact, one of the notable educational in- stitutions of North America. 1 | | | baked foods New York City Located near ali railway theatres, shopping centres Superb Cusine and Service.

Is one doctor as good as another? If you have never used Fels-Naptha | soap as it should be used—in cool or luke- warm water—it will be a revelation in an easy way of washing. All you have to do when you wash the Fels-Naptha way is soap the clothes well, soak them for about thirty minutes, rub lightly, rinse thoroughly and hang out on the line. No soapy, smelly, nauseating steam. No parboiling of hands and arms o+ ruining your complexion. No back-breaking or rubbing. And you are ali through long before the usual hour.
