BABY WEATHER.
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
DAYS,

Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of baby Is
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 phys
ician said his digestion was very bad
and that II 1t had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather We would
surely have lost him.
Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food, feeding 1t several times the first
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 we're entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and fleshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he
was a very, very Ill baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
I'VE grown-ups in our family all use
Grape-Nuts and also Postum in place
of coffee with the result that We never
any Of us have any coffee Ills, but are
we'll and strong" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults is
because the starch Of the grain is pre-
dlgested and does not tax the bowels,
nor ferment like white bread. potatoes
and other forms OF starchy food.

The Golfers Paradise.

I ask but little when I'm dead
AS recompense for earthly woes,
No golden crown upon my head.
No harp to weary hands and toes;
No halo would | wear indeed,
No purple robe beyond my means
l only ask a we'll rolled mead,
With eighteen holes and putting greens
A caddy with a lynx-like eye,
And wings upon his shoulder tips,
Shall watch me whack the balls, then fly
To follow on their airy trips;
And when 1 come on gentle wing
He'll hand me then, the watchful soul,
A putter fit for prince or king
That's guaranteed to make the goal.
The tees shall be the sort from which
One drives two hundred yards at least,
While over hurdle, bunker, ditch
The balls shall rise as though of yeast;
The niblick, mashie and the cleek
Shall never miss or make a slip,
While only those who Scottish speak
Shall have a card Of membership.
Here on this field Of perfect strokes
I'll play a winning game with all
Who beat me when on earth, the folka
Who say 1 cannot hit the ball;
And best of all, the games between,
When Ger my nectar I am heard
My triumphs to recount, ! ween,
There'll not be one to doubt my word.

1t had been understood by the Dixon
and the Taylor families, and by most
OF the people for five miles around,
for that matter, that Tom Dixon and
Bessie Taylor became engaged as they
were riding home together from the
county fair in October. The exact
date and exact circumstances OF such
things are always Of vital interest to
an agricultural community.
1t was a match that pleased both
families, as Tom was fine young far
mer, and Bessie smart girl OF nine
teen, who could have had the pick OF
half a dozen.
The marriage was not to take place
for year, and the course OF true love
ran smooth until December. Then
Bessie Taylor suddenly exercised the
prerogative Of her sex.
Tom was too sure Of her, and he
must be made to understand that his
bird was not yet Gagged.
There was to be a spelling bee at
the red school house. He and Bessie
would go, of course. AS both Of them
were accounted among the best spell
ers in the community, 1t was probable
that they might be asked to choose
sides.
1t was unfortunate for Tom that he
forgot to say that he would drive up
to Taylors at certain hour for Bes.
sic. He meant to, and he had no
doubt that she would be ready, but
the matter slipped his mind, and when
the evening finally arrived, he got out
Of his cutter at the door, only to be
told that Bessie had been gone half
an hour.
More than that, she had gone with
a windmill man who was canvassing
the neighborhood and stopping at her
fathers house.
Tom Dixon was stunned. Here was
coquetry, treachery, deceit. 1t didn't
occur to him that Bessie felt piqued
over his neglecs and wanted to get
even" in the Only way open to her.
Neither could he know that she had
told the windmill man that her old
beau would probably escort her home.
He gasped-he muttered-he swore.
Then he got into his cutter and put
the whip to his horse and sent the ami.

His first idea was to kill that wind.
mill man on sight, his second was to
kill the pair of deceivers, his third
was to blow his own brains out and
die the death of martyr Then he
happened to get fourth idea, and he
adopted 1t and stuck to 1t.
He entered the schoolhouse with his
Jaw set and firm resolve to make a
certain person repent in sackcloth and
ashes. Bessie Taylor was there, but
he saw her not. The windmill man
was there, but he was too insignificant
for second glance.
The homlest girl for six miles
around was there, having hired her
brother to bring her, and Tom walked
straight up to her, and began to laugh
and giggle and flatter.
Worse was soon to come. II hap

was the same, and it finally came to
be understood that the match was off
for good.
Time wore on and the month of
March came In. Mr.. Dixon had 200
sugar naples in his woods, and there
was sugar making every spring.
On the night of the fifth he gave a
"sugar-off" party to half a dozen
young fellows and their girls, and, of
course, Bessie heard of it.
Tom heard that she heard of It, and
also that she said she never could see
any romance in trailing about the wet
woods and ealing maple wax off a
chip, and so he repeated the perform.

no remarks to make, and he felicitated
himself that he had made her feel
real bad.
Three or four days after his second
party Mrs. Taylor said to her daugh.

Bessie, I've got a great yearning
for a taste of new maple sugar, and
If it wasn't for my sore heel, I'd go

"And what a goose you'd make OF
yourself" snapped Bessie

But you ought to be. You should

the woods now, and can fairly taste
EN-. II father wasn't so busy to-day,
I'd have him go down in the woods
and look for some"
Bessie made no reply, but an hour
later. when the mother happened to
look out Of the kitchen window and
saw her climbing the pasture fence
and making for the woods, she said to
herself:
Our woods and the Dixons woods
join and II leeks and maple sugar
don't get together, 1t won't be my
fault"
Bessie reached the home woods and
began to look for leeks. Here and
there one was beginning to sprout, but
she passed them by and went further.
BY and by she came to the line fence
dividing the farms. The leeks on the
other side looked bigger, and, after
long look between the rails, she
climbed over. Yes. the leeks were
bigger.
She had pulled three or four and
was still wandering along, when she

she screamed.
The rustic Of the rabbit was follow

ally the girl screamed again. She
heard the sound Of footsteps near at
hand, and was about to scream for
the third time, wher she heard the
words:
