Novel Way to Study Bees.

The city-dweller, longing for the
time when he can exchange heated
pavements for the yielding turf of the
meadow, carves dainty section" of
comb honey at his tea table, and
thinks: IF we ever get out on farm
one of the first things that I buy will
be a hive of bees" Little does he
realize that, In all probability, he could
keep a hive Of bees right where he
now lives.
The observation hive, with its glass
sides, makes it possible for him to lay
the foundations of commercial bee
keeping by studying the life-hfstory
and habits of the bee. Such a hive
can be placed in an ordinary bedroom
window with absolutely no danger 10

ble as it may seem, commercial bee

food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July

always anxious for the health of her
little one and is then particularly care
full In feeding Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even In spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
In and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
"Our baby boy two years old began
In August to have attacks OF terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The ply
stefan said his digestion was very bad
and that If 1t had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now we'll and getting
very strong and fleshy. and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he
was very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
