PROFIT
a,

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Christmas Service In Stable.

At Santa Cruz, Cal, there is an old
Spanish church In which the people
worship only on Christmas eve. Ex-
ternally 1t looks like q stable and has
no chandelier. The Hoor and walls are
OF stone, and on the eastern side there
Il a manger, looking through the bars
OF which one sees the scenes Of the Ma
uvity, with the towers Of castles and
palaces in the distance In the fore
ground the Virgin sits by the mangeE,
holding the infant Saviour, with st.
Joseph leaning over her and the wise
men OHering sheep. oxen and various
precious gifts. Outside this exterior
stable there are figures OF men carry
ing sheep and calves on their shouI-
ders, Fastening to the sacred scene. In
this chapel worshipers remain ali night
on their knees. This manger side of
the church is against the east wall.
high upon which Is the only window Ia
the edifice, so that the first rays of the
morning sun irradiate the scenes of
the Nativity. The rays lend a roseate
glow, and as soon as this reaches the
worshipers they leave the church, light
cigarettes and begin their festivities.

on Il pinnacle in the hills. The place
had been opened for the holidays, and
the family, with u number of guests
formed delightful "house party" To
night general merrymaking was in or

fireplace, in which logs were blazing,
sat Edith Martin with Ralph Arnold, Il

been devoted to her since they had first
met, u week before.

wheeZed out its arithmetic strokes with
provoking slowness. The pair sat mo-

under a fold of the lady's dress, their

Men and women do not breathe alike
In a woman the breathing is from the
thorax, or chest, while In a man 1t is
mainly from the diaphragm, which is

is 80 marked that 1t is possible to rec
ognize by it a woman disguised as a
man. although the disguise may be
faultless in other respects. Most physi
