An Infantryman's Long Siege.

This soldiers tale of food is interesting.
 During his term of service in the l&th Infantry in Cuba and Philippines. an Ohio soldier boy contracted a disease of the stomach and bowels which all army doctors who treated him pronounced in- curable, but which Grape-Nuts food alone cured:
 "In October. 1899. when my enlistment expired I was discharged from the Army at Calulute, Philippines, and returned to the States on the first available steamer that left Manila. When got home I was a total wreck physically and my doctor put me to bed saying he considered me the worst broken-down man of my age he ever saw and after treating me months he considered my case beyond medical aid.
 During the fall and winter of l9C0 and '01 I was admitted to the Barnes Hos pital in Washington, D. C for treatment for chronic Inflammation of the stomach and bowels but after 5 months returned home as bad as ever.
 'I continued taking medicine until Feb ruary, 1s0. when reading a newspaper one day l read about Grape-Nuts and was so impressed l sent out for package right away.
 The result is quickly told for I have used Grape-Nuts continually ever since with the best results. my health is so can do fair days hard work. stomach and bowels are in good condition, have gained 40 pounds in weight and feel like a new man altogether
 'I owe my present good health to Grape-Nuts beyond all doubt for medical science was exhausted" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek Mich.
 Had he consulted any one of several thousand physicians we know of they would have prescribed Grape-Nuts im- mediately.

 The members of the Country Club are interested just at present in plans which are afoot to enlarge and improve the present club house. Four years ago when golf was taking It's first toddling steps and country clubs were an unknown quantity In this region. the present build ing was admirably adapted to the few pioneers. But that was in the dark ages and the membership now stands in the hundreds, the club Is inadequate to the needs of the habitues. Accordingly it is to be enlarged and very attractive plans have been drawn up. The money neces- aary Is to be raised by popular subscrip- ton as far as possible and the men have alr eady responded generously. The ladies intend to do their share also. and it Is probable that they will give an amateur performance In the near future. The na- ture of 1t is being kept quiet but If what a little bird whispered in our repertorial ear is true, the Mobile public will get its moneys worth.

On the other hand, there are disad-
vantages which, with some dairymen,
would be serious objections. Briefly
mentioned, some of these are the ad-
ditional cost of operation, the danger
of close confinement of the COWS, and
the loss that might follow a failure in
crops needed at a particular time.
Notwithstanding this, the practice of
soiling is gaining ground and must in
evitably be adopted by all our dairy
men on high-priced land. 1t could
even be followed by men ON cheaper
acres who desire to get the most of
profit on them.
