Give the Children a Drink

called Grain-O. It is delicious, appe.
tizing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like
the finest coffee but is free from all its
injurious properties. Grain-O aids di-
gestion and strengthens the nerves. II
is not stimulant but health builder
and children, as we'll as adults. can
drink it with great benefit. Costs about
! as much as coffee. Is and 25c.

Velvet Beans In Orchard.

If velvet beans are planted in Or
chards, they should not be planted there
until late in the spring. AS the velvet
bean is a vigorous grower it draws a
great deal of moisture from the soil, SO
that it should not be planted until we
have plenty Of summer rains. OF
course it will not be of disadvantage to
plant, say, about June l or little ear
lier SO as to have the beans sprouted and
beginning to grow by the time Of the
rainy season. II velvet beans are planted
in the orchards, it is absolutely neces-
sary to watch them or they will com.
pletely overrun the young trees and in
this way do them great deal Of dam
