An Austin doctor has very neat way
of encouraging the patient. and at the

An extremely poor horse is usually
a miserable one, but it is questionable
whether it is any more so than an ex-
tremely fat one. Especially is this true
where the animal is required to per-
form any amount of hard labor. While
horses need good, wholesome food. il
should not be all of the reproducing
kinds. The matter of feeding horses
by the majority of horse owners never
receives the attention it should. The
supply of food and the different kinds
should be varied as often as the amount
and kinds of work are changed.-Netc

eat at one common table. Bowls and
chopsticks are arranged on the bare
board. In the center of the table are
placed dishes containing picked fish,
boiled pork, some salt vegetables and
perhaps curd made of lentils. The
smell of garlic and oil is enough to
knock one down. The men sit on
