Ma told me when went away with dad
that she wanted me to try my best to
break dad of the breakfast-food habit,
and promised to do it. Say, kid, if you
ever expect to succeed in life, you have
got to establish reputation for keeping
your promises. Truth is mighty, and
when anybody can depend upon boy to
do as he agrees his fortune is made. Dad
saw a new breakfast food advertised in
an eastern magazine, and, as the hotel
people only kept 80 or 40 kinds of mock
ing bird food for guests. dad made me go
out to the groceries and round up the
new kind. I brought box to the table
at breakfast, and dad fell over himself
to fill his saucer, and then he offered
some to eight boarders that sat at-eur
table.
THE breakfast food put up on dad
was some pulverized cork that got at
grocery out of a barrel of California
grapes. 1t looked exactly like other
breakfast foods, but you'd eide to see
dad and several invalid southern COL
onels, and two women who were at the
table. pour cream on that pulverized
cork and sprinkle sugar on it, and try
to get the pulverized cork to soak up
the cream, but the particles of cork float
ed on top of the cream and acted alive.
An old confederate colonel, who had
called dad damyankee ever since we

though he was on the point of drawing a
gun, took the first mouthful and after
chewing it awhile he swallowed as
though his throat was sore, but he got it
down, and ordered a cocktail, and looked
mad at dad. Dad noticed that the others
were having difficulty in masticating
the food, and so he pitched in and atehis
food, and said 1t was the finest he had
ever tasted, but the rest of the crowd
only took spoonful or two, and ct fruit.

of the Florida fruit, but is much i'm

will be a useful variety.

Young Indy Left by Fever in Very Weak

with Gratifying Results.

After a fever, such as typhoid or scar
let, has run it's full course there remains
the recovery of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles;
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced su-
perior to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss M%idendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex.
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pro-
scriptions for hat purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.

IN cases of debility due to ovcrwork they

USE OF CEMENT in BUILDING.

most probably the farmer will have to

q" this work in most places want to
get pay for about three or four DAYS
for each one they work.
There is nothing requiring special in

or more difficult labor than is usual
among farmers in general. and where

There is a tendency for the dealer to
charge the farmer too much for the
cement. The best sorts are all called
Portland, though native in many parts
OF the country. They are the result of
burning and grinding limestone having
a certain proportion of clay. There was
a report of Il contract for a large
of cement to be used in con-
.struction of railroad bridges at about
o%ne-fourth what is charged in most
places by the dealers. An exchange

The test recommends for the amount

be readily made. The top surface
should be richer in cement than the
lower layers. This is something that
