Rreed According to Market.

The farmer should decide which he
wishes to produce from the poultry
yard, poultry or eggs, says Charles E.
Main. in a discussion in the Iowa
Homestead. In making this decision
the market he expects to supply is the
most important thing to consider. If
his market calls for poultry he should
help to supply it by growing the kind
of poultry making the most meat of
the best quality. If the demand is bet
ter for eggs he sh. Id keep the breed
of poultry producing the most eggs
duzing the year. If a general market
is to be supplied, the farmer might
keep two breeds of poultry, by giving
them the proper care and in no case
allowing the breeds to cross.

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle:
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

1mitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all Others in every respect. You arc
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, SOC.

FOR THE BEAUTY SEEKER.
Dismiss Worry of Every Kind and
Take Plenty of Exercise in
the Open Air.

An i'll Unbalanced temperament, worry
or depression will put ugly lines around
a woman's mouth and between her
eyes in no time, besides making the
skin and eyes dull. OF course, laughing
will wrinkle the face also, though in a
different way. In order to keep the
face free of these pests a good scheme
is to relax the facial muscles five min
utes at a time several times a day, and
while doing this if possible lie down
and think of absolutely nothing, saysa
health authority.
Worry is worse on looks than any
thing else, so women should fight the
blues. Get out in the air and take q
walk if nothing better is available to
distract the mind. Worry affects the
liver and the heart. 1t is a prosaic fact,
but the things a woman eats have more
than anything else the power to make
or mai her beauty. Errors in diet
mean a loss of complexion. and the con-
slant eating of candy ruins the skin
and teeth.
The reason so many women have
thin. short hair is that they try every
new PREPARATION they hear of on it.
What may be good for one head of hair
IS apt to be .ruinous to another. Oily
hair requires a weekly shampoo and
all the air and sunshine one can get,
but dry hair needs lots of patient
brushing. and shampoos should be
given but once in two or three weeks.
