WOMAN HAs PROVED A GOOD FARMER.

Surrounding the historic ground OF
Valley Forge there are many fine
farms, noted for their fertility, and
some of them famous for connection
with Revolutionary doings. There
is Just one that is known all over
this historic locality. not alone for
its fertility, but for the fact that its
manager is a woman farmer, Ella
w. Frederick.
Miss Frederick is "a years old, a
strong adherent of President Roose-
velt's theory of strenuousity and per-
haps the foremost woman farmer in
the state, with an experience unique
for one of the gentler sex.
Her experience as dairy farmer
began on the farm now owned by
United States Senator P. c. Knox.
Three years ago, while the Senator
conducted noted dairy farm, she be-
gan as milkmaid for him. So well.
did she do her work that she was soon
given charge Of the dairy part Of the
Senator's farm. A year ago the SEN
ator decided to abandon the dairy,
however, and this decision left Miss
Frederick without position.
Having enjoyed her new expert
ence she soon came to the conclusion
that she would have her own dairy on
the farm of her father, well known
practicing physician. Hardly had a
month passed before she had collected
a fine herd of cows, four good horses,
a number of hogs, 200 head of poul-
try and the necessary farming imple-
mentS.
Two weeks later Miss Frederick ap-
peared on the streets of Chester coun-
ty towns with an up-to-date delivery
wagon and her ledger soon showed
that she was serving over 100 of the
best customers, who resided in the
towns of Berwyn, Devon, Paoli, Port
Kennedy and Valley Forge.
Miss Frederick started this dairy
farm very modestly. At first she did
most of the work unassisted. She
used even to curry the horses and
help to thresh her grain, and to fol-
low the plow or drive the horses at
tached to a self binder was no rare
occurrence to her. She often took
the fail on rainy day and threshed
rye in the good old way to get straw
for the binding of fodder in the fall.
Her dairy cows are mostly Alder
neys and Guernseys, and every one
has good milking record. She has
a systematic idea about all her work,
which sometimes begins at 2.3o A. M;
when she arises and throws the har-
ness on her horse, loads her delivery
wagon and is soon ready for her daily
journey. The route covers distance
of about IS miles, which she covers
by II A. M. Cream, cottage cheese,
10 dozen eggs, 80 pounds of but
ter and lots of dressed poultry have
also been disposed of along the route.
Miss Frederick owns seven horses,
every one broken to harness by her.
She is a perfect horse trainer and
wants to see the first horse or colt
that she cannot break to harness or
saddle. As her daily trips are large
ly before dawn she always protects
herself by carrying a revolver.

EGGS ARE CUP1D's MEssENGERs.

Perhaps the queerest way of adver-
tising for matrimonial purposes is
that of placing names and addresses
on eggs. During each year there
are upwards of 500, 900 cases of eggs
received in Denver from Kansas, Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Texas and Col
orado points, ard it is safe to say
that $4,000 names and addresses OF
women and men with matrimonial in
tentions are found in the cases.
Kansas holds the record for having
the most eligibles. Hardly case of
eggs received from Kansas but has
from one to dozen names of young
women desirous of corresponding
with men with matrimonial inten-
tionS.
The system is widely known to
men in the produce business and to
mountaineers. Young women in
the rural districts write their name
and address on the egg. They re-
quest the finder to write them. The
eggs are received in Denver, packed
and shipped to the grocery, in which
way the eggs past through dozens of
different hands. AS soon as an egg
bearing a name is found many take
it upon themselves to answer.
Those who are out for fun can get
all they want and many of the commits
sion men make considerable sport OF
it. One fellow answered young
woman at Berthoud, Col. The man
who did the writing is about 6 feet
inches tall and weighs about I2o
pounds. He is 40 years old, but this
is the way he described himself: II
am "a years old, weigh las pounds,
feet 10 inches in height, dark
brown hair, black eyes. / am single
and never wore a mustache. l have
two suits of clothing and trunk
large enough to hold Dozen"
The answer came by return mail.
This is the way the girl described
herself: "I am II years old, weigh
165 pounds, S feet tall, light hair and
blue eyes," She expressed herself
as being glad to have made his ac-
quaintance.
Several letters passed between
them when the commission man gol

wrote the address for her. He asked

MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
The Day Intended for Appropriate
Commemoration Of the Deeds
Of Heroes.

Memorial day was founded that
there might be a few hours In each
year set aside for the appropriate
commemoration Of the deeds Of men
who had been killed while serving the
country In the army or navy or who
had died since having SO served. For
number Of years 1t was generally
and suitably observed. Then In some
places 1t ceased to be observed at all.
In many 1t was given up to bicycle
and horse racing and other sports and
festivities.
Diversions Of this kind have been
widely and properly protested against
as dissertations Of the day. The pro.
tests seem to have had some effect,
for observance Of the occasion prom.
ises to be not only more general this
year than usual but also more appro.
pirate. Graves will be decorated, and
in many cities, towns and rural neigh.
borhoods there will be solemn process
sions to cemeteries, and sermons will
be preached and addresses delivered
recalling the brave deeds of the ma
TONS heroes and the great princi-
pies for which they fought and for
which many died.
Holidays devoted to recreation and
sport are good thing, but 1t does not
necessarily follow that all holidays
should be given up to them. Me-
mortal day ought to be devoted large
ly to recalling what past generations
did.
Contemplation Of the courageous and
self-sacriflcing patriotism exhibited by
past generations Is to little purpose
II 1t do not Undue their successors
with purpose to emulate them.
The men of today have confronting
them questions almost as difficult as
any which have yet been dealt with,
and the best way the sons can show
their appreciation Of what the fathers
accomplished is by resolving to 60
about their work as citizens with the
same courage and in the same spirit
as their fathers went about theirs

The Grand Army Of the Republic.
Day by day their ranks are thinning, one
by one they disappear.
And at each succeeding roll call, fewer
voices answer: 'Here!"
Still their regiments are marching-many
march with noiseless tread,
And no bugles sound ASSEMBLY In the
bivouac OF the dead.
Hats are reverently lifted to the heroes
lying here;
Lift them to the living heroes-hail them
all with cheer on cheer.
Not for long will they be with us; soon
each regiment will be
Tented here beneath the blossoms OF the
land 1t helped to free.
But to-day the drums are muftied ana the
flag at half-mast waves,
Keeping green dead heroes memories as
the grass above their graves.
Still another weary winter shroudeed In the
snow they lay;
Now we bring them crowns and garianos
of the loveliest blooms Of May.
Let them rest In honored slumber, while
their praise, from shore to shore,
Eighty millions threats are swelling-we
are free forevermore!

WHO HAS ARMY ENVELOPES?
Few Of These Reminders Of the Civil
War Are to Be Found
To-Day.

It would be interesting to know just
how many varieties Of illustrated sol
diers' envelopes were printed in the
course of the four-year war. 1t is
said there were several thousands of
them. Every loyal state was prolific
Of local as we'll as general suggestive
ideas for pictorial and typographical
EXPRESSION, and the opportunity was
we'll improved by manufacturers Of
and dealers in stationery. Unlike the
war songs Of Root and other COM
posers, this "Union envelope" fad had
an ephemeral existence.
In Grand Army halls and at Grand
Army campflres, and the stage enact
ment Of civil war dramas, almost
everything else is seen In the line Of
reminders Of the days Of '61-5-mus-
kets, swords, belts, knapsacks, haver-
sacks, canteens, tin clippers, belts,
flags. etc.--but the army envelope Is
not in evidence. And yet, even at this
late day, there Is, 1t is safe to opine,
many a carefully treasured specimen
Of the oblong, illustrated and inscribed
Enclosure of the soldier boys letter
from the scene of suffering, Of strife
and carnage, which, If It could speak,
might tell story Of sentimental and
thrilling interest-one Of the tens Of
thousands Of unwritten romances of
an heroic age that has no peer in the
annals Of the camp and field Of ia
nous military campaigns in the old
81 the new world.

To the Nations Dead.

Long have they lain meath the grass and
sod,
Those noble sons that in battle trod.
No more the sound of the bugle call
Shall quicken their steps to duty's call.
They only wait for the trumpet sound,
When the great and good shall at last be
crowned
And the battle and strife of yesterday
Shall be lost alike to the Blue and Gray.
Ye who march on this day in May,
To scatter garlands of fiow'rets gay
Over the mounds of soft green sward,
Where sleep the brave In battle gored;
Know that to these we owe your land,
So scatter the buds with willing hand,
With thoughts of love while lips do pray
For the peace and rest of the Blue and
Gray.
And let the flag on each grave rest,
OF him whose struggle made 1t blest.
Those Stars and Stripes let proudly wave
Above each soldier honored grave.
For these are they who held them high,
Caring not that they should die.
So let the Union feel to-day
Thoughts of love for the Blue and Gray.

Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.

The greatest service the Grand Army
Of the Republic has rendered is the
beautiful way in which it gives life to
the principles Of the organization-fra-
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions Of men of every degree
Of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
Of brotherhood is not only worthy of
admiration, but also of imitation by the
members Of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
in the world, and love is the key to
every department Of life, the founda-
ton Of patriotic teaching, the safety OF
the country, the home and the individ-
ual. @et
Loyalty to their comrades, their or
ganization, their country and their God
has been fittingly illustrated in the
lives of these boys In blue.
This trinity Of principles, II copied
by our 100000 citizens, would make
us the greatest nation on earth.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
rhe pigesting Element Left out.

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. It af-
fects the bowels because white bread Is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell Of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposit
which Ia turned into diastase when 1t Is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn 1t into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can, without the help that ma.
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside Of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfect
ly natural manner, without the use Of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore IL
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place Of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The eeffct Of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance Of ordinary white bread is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
health.
