A runty pig may be properly de

make the most of the pigs and slight
them for one single day
The state fairs are the best
educators we have for the rank and

higher ideals for men to work to-

The high grade hogs now found
on the aveaage farm trace through
the best and purest ancestry known
to the hog breeding world.

How do You Eat?

It is safe to say that modern cook
ing develops business for both the sa-
lOOnkeeper and the undertaken. When
a boy eats mustard plasters in the
form of food that is almost saturated
with fiery spices and irritating condi-
ments, 4 thirst is created that nothing
but liquor or cigarets viii satisfy. Man
is admOnished to "eat for strength,
and not for drunkenness" but in these
days anything that viii tickle the four
square inches of taste surface is con-
sideTed good food, although 1t may
contain scarcely any OF the elements
that nature requires to replace broken
down tissues and to rebuild the wO-n-
out brain. AS a consequence, the Vi
tally and physical resistance soon
reach such low ebb that the individ-
ual falls an easy prey to any micrObe
with which he may chance to come in
contact

Natural Cure for tuberculosis.


A Swedish doctor some fourteen or
fifteen years ago succeeded. by a very
crude method, IN curing patients who
have been given up to die. His prac-
tice was first Of all to rub the patient
three times a day with. 3 towel wet
in very cold water A little later he
put the patient in a tub of water at
about so degrees, rubbing him vigOr-
OusIy for about a minute, and later, as
the patient became better able to
endure the cold water, ne was plunged
into a tub full Of ice water This was
done three times a day Think Of
those poor cOIisumptives! NeveTthe-
less they got well. The cold water,
with the rubbing following, produced
such a powerful reaction that The
whole body was stimulated to in
creased vital activity and recovery. 1ol-
