OLD FASHIONED
But Still in the Fashion.

Il is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.
For two years was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
There was nothing could eat but
20 or 30 minutes later would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint and weak. This
went on from day to day until was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospects of being helped.
"One day was advised by ali old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream,
leaving OF all fatty food. | had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me. as | had tried so
many things without any help. But
1t was 20 simple l thought l would
give II a trial, she insisted so.
We'll, l ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me, and asked
II had tried her advice.
"'Glad you did. child, do you feel
some better?'
"'No,' said, I do not know as l
Go, the only difference l can see is

Nor did have any trouble with

MORE HUMANE WARFARE.
The Percentage Of Deaths Steadily
Diminishes as Weapons Grow
More Deadly.


1t is only few years ago that M,
Bloch wrote his book, THE War;" This
book Is alleged to have moved the car
to proclaim his great message of peace.
M. Bloch gave terribly realistic pic
lures of modern war, and prophesied
that 1t would be impossible in the near
future for nations to engage in deadly
struggle. War was to cost millions of
pounds sterling day, and men We're to
die like flies, says the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. ]"i"" Nt @t Y"
But what are the facts? Two great
wars have broken out in the small
space of time since M, Bloch gave his
opinions to the world and in every case
his deductions, with the exception Of
cost, have proved to be false.
\ The fact is that while warts becoming
more humane, the risk of being killed
or dying of disease is very much mini
mized. Less than 100years ago it was no
uncommon thing for $4,000 or 60, 600 men
TO be knocked bors de combat in a sim
sgleday. In modern warfare, despite the
mathematical precision of death-dealing
weapons, these figures could not possibly
be approached
And there are reasons which are not
apparent at first sight. In the first
place, the trajectory--th height abul-
let rises from the ground-of modern
rifle is only five feet in the first 500 yards
If the rifle be aimed point blank at ad-
vancing troops. ~ '0 '
solden days bullet scared high in
the air. particularly at the longer
ranges. but in the olden days men adj
vanced shoulder to shoulder to the at.
tack, A regiment marched forward er
masse, but nowadays all that Is
changed Insan attack men rush for
ward. at many PAGES interval, and the
| risk of their being shot is thus much
| lessened.
In short, while the manufacture o.
lethel weapons has advanced by leaps
! and bounds, the science of warfare ha
kept pace with that advance And, fur
ther the science of surgery has out
| stripped both the cunning Of the war
rior and the maker of the guns. AFt
The modern bullet isnot man-stop
per. The old Schneider bullet put tn
strongest man out of action, and oc
casioned a terrible pain, If the man wer
not struck in avital part.
The Martini bullet followed 1t wa
not SO heavy nor SO clumsily shaped a
the Schneider, and an energetic mai
could struggle along although wounded
Later came the Lee-Metford bullet
with its elongated body, and unless /
strikes man on the heart or brail
1t does not knock him hors de combat
In fact, several men shot through tn
brain in China and South Africa ar
serving in the army to-day
Roughly speaking, during the past 10
years the percentage of killed an
wounded In battle has fallen from 2
per 100 to somewhere about ten. Tha
was the average of casualties in Sout
Africa

In the history of international war wa

Still More Evidence.

Bay City, ILL.,, August (Special) Mr..
X. +. Henley, of this city, adds his evidence
to that published almost daily that sure
cure for Rheumatism is now before the
American people, and that that cure is
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr.. Henley had acute
Pills. He says of the result:
After suffering for sixteen years with
Rheumatism and using numerous medicines
for Rheumatism and more medicines pre-
scribed by doctors, ! at last tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills with the result that I got
more benefit from them than all the others
put together.
'Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only thing
all suffering from Acute Rheuma tism.''
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the
blood. Healthy kidneys take all the Uric

ADVICE TO YOUNG FARMERS.
Ge; Farm of Your own, He 1t Ever
So Small and Then Stick
TO IT.

The well-known Illinois stock breed
er and writer on agricultural topics, L.
H. Kerrick, in an address before Iowa
Agricultural college students, strongly
urges each of them to stick to farming
and 10 gee a farm, he it ever SO small.
Got place where you can. make a.
home" he said. Then get wife and
8proceed'to make your home as comfort
able as you can. tEi .H
81 believe the best results in agri-
culture will eventually be worked OF.
CT the small farm. On large farms we
must mow at arms length, and can not
do IS well as we do know how to do,i
for we must work through other men,
and TIE men who work on large farms
are not men who are brainy, shrewd
and improying-they are not of this
type. | have an idea lately-the first
have had for four or five years-if a
man has an idea that is really worth
while. even once in four or five years,
he will be doing WE'LL
THE farmer Is the man who ought
to be the surest of all the necessities
and comforts of life, and safest from
all changes. panics, hard times and
other vicissitudes. In the farm home,
children can be better bred, better fed
and better prepared for the struggle of
life.
1T seems to me that we, as farmers
are not getting the most out of our
farm life. Combinations and trusts are
impossible, but ii is better so; for while
those Gin combines and trusts may be
safe against those on the outside, they
are not safe against each other. The
farmer has, however, become more or
less imbued with the spirit of CONNER
cialism-with the idea of farming sole
ly for money. He raises big crops of
corn. oats or feeds many cattle to sell.
And sells them at the other fellows
prices, hurries them on glutted mar
kes and then turns around and buys
many things that he could easily have
produced on his own farm at the other
| fellows prices In this way he puts
himself in the enemy's hands twice
once when he sells and once when he
buys.
I'll seems to me that the first thing
you should do is to surround yourself
Ia farm homes with everything that
will be conducive to your comfort and
welfare. Spend less energy in your
orchard and gardens, produce first the
things you need, be it fruit, vegetables
or meats; then, after You have fortified
yourself in your farm fort, let the 9TH
er fellow have any surplus, If he will
pay your price for 1t. You can solve
this problem in the simplest way i'm.
aginablc. Special meetings, long-wind-
ed resolutions and profound magazine
articles are of no avail, You have the
remedy In your own hands. Simply
fortify yourself in your own fort as
strongly as you can; then give the
osher fellow what is left"

Cleaning the Cows.

The cleaning of cows, by using the
brush and curry comb on them, as
we'll as giving them scrubbing and
rinsing with sprayer, may appear
as waste of labor to those who have
never tried the plan, but if the cows
were so treated the result would be.
larger quantity of milk and butter,
as the cows would be more comfort

COWS than horses, as the dirt from
