TIE UNION COW CLUB OF ARNo7

IL ~ A"N w" CAOD "H &k<S "
Organization is the order of the day,
and in Arnot, Pennsylvania, it has
reached even the cows. The Union Cow
Club Of Arnot is composed of the best
cows of the region. The country
around Arnot is peculiarly hazardous
for cows to wander in. There are mine
shafts and railroad tracks and steep
and narrow paths where the careless
man or beast is prone to stumble.
Therefore the cow club. No cow less
than one or more than ten years old
is eligible for membership, and full par
ticipation in the benefits of the order is
given only to those who are source of
profit to their owners. The members,
therefore, really earn enough to pay
their own dues, and the owners occupy
rather the position of business advisers
who take care of surplus funds and look
after the clerical details of paying the
assessments when they fall due. Each
one it might be said, holds power of
attorney for his cows. The owners are
also the beneficiaries of the bovine
policies. In case COW dies between
March 1 and September 80, the owner
receives $50. If she dies between Octo-
Der / and February %, he gets only $25.
If the animal becomes disabled or sick,
an examining committee looks into
the case to determine what damages
should be allowed, and If this commit
tee cannot agree special meeting is
called, and the owners in solemn con-
clave adjust the damages, One inter-
estirg provision is that If man wishes
to kill a COW for beef, or if he wishes to
sell, he must notify the President TWEEN
ty-four hours beforehand. so that the
withdrawal may be duly entered on the
books
There is one danger in organizing the
cows Of Arnot that doesn't seem to
have been thought of. Perhaps they
will take notion to strike and refuse
to give down" when requested to do so.

the music told the story. What appeal
ed to me was the beautiful simplicity
of it all and the evident art. 1t is art,
too, that is the result of centuries of
study. Those players do not sing as
they do without great study and prac-
tice. Neither could the instrumentalists
produce the effects they do without
having been carefully trained. 1t seems
to me to combine many peculiarities of
the Slavic and of the Scotch music. The
ryhthm is perfect. Through long recita-

measure is never lost"

Their kind eyes must have seen her start
We could not see; we could but cry.

Have found path that we must find.

A guide to point us out the way
To find you at the journeys end?

"MADE IN GERMANY"

She sat among the soft cushions upon
the rich divan and talked to her friend
of the fine time she had during her tour
of Europe. Her splendid eyes sparkled
and there was a glow upon her cheeks
that added to her beauty, which hard
ly needed accumulation.
1T WISH" she said, that you could
have been with me in Paris. Oh, what
a city it is! My brother Tom says I
didn't see the greatest part of it. Tom
never got to bed before daylight when
he was in Paris. Still, | saw enough
to know that it is really and truly
wonderful. And then there was Rome.
There are so many interesting things
in Rome, only it seems a pity they
don't clear away some of the ruins and
rubbish and build up the town so it
would look as if people were alive and
abreast Of the time I don't care so
much for Athens. We had such miser-

Hanover. It's the most beautiful place
you can imagine. Did you know that
we met Arthur Graham there. 1t seems
funny, doesn't it, that we should have
happened to see each other in such a
faraway place as that: I was out
walking in one of the parks the very
morning after we had reached there,
and finally sat down on a bench, and
was thinking of the people over here
and feeling just little bit homesick
when who in the world but Arthur
came walking right along up toward
me. Well, wish you could have seen
his face when he caught sight of me!
We sat there and told our experiences.

General Booth, the Salvation Army
leader, has been a pronounced vegeta-
rian for years. He even refuses to in
dulge in butter, milk or vegetables
cooked in fat, living entirely on cereals,
principally boiled rice. The general
says he is a vegetarian for two reasons.
One is his belief that primitive man ate
no meat, and the other is that after a
long trial of that diet he finds himself
much younger than his years.

Often Comes From Lack of Right
Food.
Napoleon said that the best fed
soldiers were his best soldiers, for
fear and nervousness come quickly
when the stomach is not nourished.
Nervous fear is a sure sign that the
body is not supplied with the right
food.
A Connecticut lady says: For
many years l had been sufferer from
i digestion and heart trouble and in
almost constant fear of sudden death,
the most acute suffering possible
Dieting brought on weakness, emacia-
ton and nervous exhaustion and
was complete wreck physically and
almost a wreck mentally.
Il tried many foods, but could not
avoid the terrible nausea followed by
vomiting that came after eating until
l tried Grape-Nuts. This food agreed
with my palate and stomach from the
start. This was about year ago.
Steadily and surely change from
sickness to health came until now /

cAusTIc HUMoR OF CALICO.
Used in DemoIlshing Argument Made
BY Brother Scientist

In a recently published biography OF
Calico some stories are told OF the
caustic humor of that bold investigat-
or Lotario Sarsi. q writer on science,
having said that the Babylonians used
to cook eggs by whirling them in a
sling, Calico replied: The cause of
such an effect is very remote from
that to which it. is attributed and to
find the true cause l shall reason
thus: IF an effect does not follow
with US which followed with others at
another time it is because in our ex-
periments something is wanting which
was the cause of the former success;
and il only one thing is wanting to
US that one thing Is the true cause.
Now we havef eggs and sings and
strong men to whirl them, and yet
they will not become cooked; nay, II
they were hot at first they more quick
ly become cold; and since nothing Is
wanting to US but to be Babylonian It
follows that being Babylonians is the
true cause why the eggs became
cooked and not to the friction Of the
air, which is what | wish to prove"

Horns Cease to Grow at Regular sea-
sons of the Year.
When a rams constitution has been
undermined by the rutting season, the
horns cease to grow, nor do they be-
gin again until the spring of the year,
when it's green vegetation brings nour-
ishing food, and this is the cause Oh
the rings, which, therefore, indicate
the number of winters old sheep is.
This was my head mans theory. and
is, I believe, a correct one, for in the
smaller heads which have examined
these rings conceded with the age OF
the sheep, as told by the teeth. Up
to five years the age of sheep can
always be determined by the teeth;
