DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be Of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quar-. of wheat contains more nu-
triment than bushel of cucumbers.
There is happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds of potatoes contain a.
much nutriment as IS pounds Of
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference In
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season Of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup il
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatinS
q hearty meal.

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
Scratched Until Bled-Wonder-
f.N Cure by Cuticura.

last year I suffered with a tremendous
itching on my back, which grew worse and
worse, until it spread over the whole body.
and only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so suffered torments,
and l had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until
l bled. At night when l went to bed
things got worse, and l had at times
to get up and scratch my body all over,
until was as sore as could be, and until
l suffered excruciating pains. They told
me that l was suffering from eczema.
Then made up my mind that would use
the Cuticura Remedies. / used them &C.
cording to instructions, and very soon in

until well, and now | am ready to recon-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to any one.

ODD EATING CUSTOMS.

BraZilians never eat when they
drink, nor drink when they eat; and
the Tartars continually persist in pull
ing a guest by the ear until he drinks.
Maldiva islanders retire to the dark
est part Of the houses and hang cur
tains about them, so that none Of
their fel.owmen may see them at their
meal.
When they desire to show a mark
of great esteem, the negroes Of Ardra
drink from the same cup at the same
time, and the King of Loango used
to eat and drink in two separate
houses.
The Philippine islander will not eat
meal alone Whenever a Filipino
finds himself without a CONF nion
with whom to share his meal, h. will
abstain from eating until he has
found ono.
A strange custom prevails in Kam-
chtaka, where man who wishes to
entertain a guest invites him into a
cabin, which Is heated to an excessive
temperature, and then presses him
with food until he is In a state Of tor
por. Instances of men dying at these
orgies have been known.
The Tahitians, though a naturally
sociable race, dine separately. Even
the man and his wife do not eat to-
gehter. Each member of the family
has his own food-basket. They take
their places about five yards apart.
and then, turning their backs to each
other, dine amid a profound silence.

Sketch


The frame is mortised together, all
the cutting being done on the corner
posts, d. The two pieces, c, are not
mortised but are bolted fiat
1t is necessary that the piece B
shall be a very strong one, as the en-
tire weight of the pole and arm, II
and X, rest solely on this. 1t Is well
to block up under this at N when in
use. The pole has pin, NJ, which
rests in hole, N, and the two pieces
GG on top of F hold the pole In place
An iron hoop should be placed around
the base of pole at NJ to prevent split
ting. The arm, X, is made OF two
2X4's which clamp on each side OF the
top Of pole. H, being bolted together
In making the derrick the frame
should be made leaving one side open
without braces, EE, and cross-piece,
F. One piece of G should be left off
also, but have holes, bolts, etc, all
ready. The pole with its arm, braces
and pulleys is prepared complete and

side by side by using this leveler on it
than the other fellows have been able
to do with three loads dumped in the
same space on which the leveler was
not used.
IF | get my road too sharp l place
my stick squarely across the road be-
hind the wagon and then cut the top
off some, leveling it at the same time.
The angle of the drag depends upon
the sort of work that you want to do.
IF the reader will study the plan
for a moment he will readily under
stand some of its possibilities. 1t will
be seen that the wagon and horses
can be kept in the track in most cases
and by standing upon a certain por-
ton of the drag, it can be made to go
into almost any position desired or
cut deeper in certain places.
Suppose that it Is desired that the
soil should be cut at the right of the
wagon at a distance further out than
what the drag would naturally go. II
the driver will step upon the stick at
point somewhere near the right end
of the drag, it is clear that his weight
will not cause the drag to swerve more
to the right, but will cause the stick
to cut deeper into the soil.
"On the other hand, suppose that 1t
is desired that the drag should cut
nearer to the middle of the track.
Then the rider must stand somewhere
nearer to the left end of the drag.
The reader will readily understand
what the result will be when the
weight of a man is placed at different
points of the drag.
More than this different effects
can be made by frightening and
shortening the longer chain Obvious
ly the angle at which the drag is
drawn will determine to some extent
where the drag will work"
1t will be noted from the illustra.
ton that Mr.. Bower does not use the
split log" but rather a solid stick
of timber. 1t will be plain to be seen,
however, that the Split log" could be
readily substituted for the soil stick,
and probably more effective work
could be done.
There will be little trouble in at
taching such a drag to the wagon
gear. In comparison to the steadying
effect the extra draft Of the wagon
gear would probably amount to prac-
tically nothing.

BUILDING FOOD
70 Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around.
When little human machine Cor a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
Il decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When | reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him GrapeNuts and, although |
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grapc-N Nuts Itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, | raised her on Grape Nuts and
she is strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the -.tle
photograph l send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be.
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co, Battle Creek. Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft fray

A well-fed brain and strong. sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy

Rotation a Help.

Will say that most Of the farmers
in this vicinity practice rotation of
crops to a certain degree, writes a
Kane county QnD farmer. Corn, oats
and clover is the most common and
in my opinion the best. The princi
pal obstacle in this uractce is a fail
ure to get a crop Of clover on certain
years when it is too dry There has
been but very little of this trouble
now for three years. | bnva found
that this rotation Is greet help, as
much more oats and corn can be
raised than could possibly be other.
wise. There are a few farmers l.ot
follow t. rotation OF oats and ccrD, but
ugually without good results.

EFFECTIVE LOG DRAG.
Attached to the Wagon Gear Is Bet
ter Than When Hitched Di-
rectly to Team.

The Improvement of the log drag Is
suggested by w. L. Bower, OF Ken
lucky, in the Prairie Farmer. It Will
be noted from the accompanying illus
tration that instead Of hitchins the
team to the drag itself he fastens the
drag to the wagon gear. 1t is apparent
that the drag can thus be held mora
steadily than would be the case where
hitched directly to the team.
Writing of his success In leveilng
down the loose ground with this i'm
plement, Mr.. Bower says:
