BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

10 BRING the BABIES Around.
When little human machine (or 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
fevsr, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrawn into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
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 l reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape7Nuts and, although 1
mad never used the food we got some
and for few days gave him lust the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
teedlng him the Grape-Nuts itself and
In wonderfully short time he fat
tened Fight up and became strong and
well.
That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on NV girl
came, | raised her on Grape Nuts and
she is strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph send you what a strong
chubby youngster the boy is now. but
ne 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

sturdy and healthy condition upon

HAILSTORM HAVOC
GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO
WHEAT CROPS OF KANSAS.
Insurance Against Loss from Storms
of This Kind Is Now Taken
Out by Many of the
Farmers.

"Hailstorms have destroyed more
wheat in Kansas in the last ten years
than all the grasshoppers and oh nch-
bugs Stree the state was organized,
said farmer from southern Kansas,
whose crop YVES destroyed by recent
storm in that section
Last year one hailstorm in the
northern part Of Sumner county and
the southern part of sedgwlck swept
an area 30 miles long by two miles
wide. About $4,000 acres, most of 1t in
growing wheat that promised to yield
% bushels to the acre, were destroyed,
A half million dollars worth of wheat
was ruined in that one storm"
The hailstorm was never feared by
the Kansas farmer until wheat be-
came staple crop. Corn will recover
from hailstorm and make an average
crop, but light fall of ice at certain
time viii ruin a crop of wheat. May
and June are the months of hailstorms
in Kansas.
In France and Spain where the hail
storms destroy the grape crop large
cannon have been placed on the hills
above the vineyards. AT the approach
of hailstorm explosives are shot into
the cloud, and it's a. belief among
farmers-laughed at by scientific men
that the storm is sometimes dissi-
pated. The Kansas farmer doesn't
lombard the clouds He has found
that 1t pays better to insure his crops.
Hail insurance pomnanfes have baan
organized. The farmer insures his
wheat crop against hail just as the
man in the city insures his house
against fire. He places whatever value
on his crop he can afford to pay the
premium on. Some farmers occasional
ly insure so heavily that they would
not object to a hailstorm to save the
expense of harvesting the crop.
The first hail insurance companies
were mutual companies, organized
among the farmers of a county or a
district. 1t was soon found that those
companies were not safe because a
hailstorm usually cleared whole dis
trict Then each farmer was com.
PEELED to bear his own loss, for the
mutual company could not pay. East
ern capitalists have formed a number
of hail insurance companies in the last
five years.
Farmers have a belief that hail viii
secutive years. So If hailstorm de.
stroys crop they insure heavily fol
the next two years.

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES.
Number That Have Shaken the State
During Ten Years, 1889, to
1898, Inclusive.

Among the reports of the United
States geological survey published in
the "nineties" are eight bulletins ON
the subject of earthquakes in Califor-
MIA, which contain accounts of shocks
that occurred during the ten years
from 1889 to 1898, inclusive. Study OF
these bulletins shows that there was
hardly single month in all those ten
years when seismic disturbances, more
or less severe, were not felt along the
Pacific coast.
The first of these bulletins (No 6S)
was written by Prof. James Edward
Keller, astronomer in charge of earth.
quake observations at the Lick
observatory. Previous to this Prof.
r.. S. Holden had published, through
the California state printing Office, a
paper which contained a list of the
earthquakes that had occurred in Cal
ifornia, lower California, Oregon and
Washington territory and which gave
all the available data up to the end Of
the year 1888. The next bulletin (No.
$50 published by the geological survey
was prepared by Prof. Holden. It
contained an account of the earth
quakes in 1890 and 1891. The other
bulletins covering the records for 1892,
1898, 1894, 1895, 1896, 1897, and finally
1898, were published as bulletins Nos.
112, ia, 1923, lat, 155, and 161, respec-
lively, and all were prepared by Prof.
Charles d. Perrine, of the Lick OBJ
servatory.
The largest and most complete
instrument used for recording earth
quakes on Mount Hamilton, as de-
scribed in these bulletins, records the
north and south, east and west, and
vertical components of the earth's
motion separately on a smoked glass
plate, which is started by the prelim-
mary tremors of the earthquake and
rotates uniformly in about three min
utes, the edge of the plate being grad
uated into seconds at the same time
by clock, which also serves to record
the time of occurrence of the shock.
This instrument has been called the
Ewing seismograph. Another simpler
form consists of heavy duplex" pen
lulum adjusted to a long period OF
vibration, with a magnifying pointer
or pen. which records on a smoked
glass plate both horizontal components
of the motion. The vertical compo-
nents and the time are not recorded
The observatory possesses other seis
mographs of various patterns, but
they are not constantly in use.

ODD EATING CUSTOMS.

Prazilians 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.
Maldive islanders retire to the dark
est part of the houses and hang cur
tains about them, so that none of
their fellowmen 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
a meal alone. Whenever a Filipino
finds himself without a companion
with whom to share his meal, he will
abstain from eating until he has
found one.
A strange custom prevails in KAN
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 beer. known.

and then, turning their backs to each

Health as a Business Asset.

The average man is not accustomed
to regard his health as his very best
asset, yet that is precisely what 1t is.
The man who will accord due regard to
his health, from strictly business
standpoint, will go farther, last long
er and accomplish more in the end
than one who makes health an after
consideration. Success which is at
tanned at the expense of health is
worth absolutely nothing to the man
who attains 1t. There is no pleasure
either in the process or in the final
result.-St Louis Republic.
