CHECKED SAFELY THROUGH
Little Brass Plate Pinned on In Fun
Saved Life of Soldier Dur
ing Battle.

Mr.. II. b. Parker, of Blissfield, had
been attending the first reunion OF
company A, Eleventh Illinois infan-
try, at Freeport, H. Mr. Parker Was
member of company A and the Free,
port Daily Bulletin, in its report OF
the reunion, printed the following curl
GUS incident in regard to him:
Lieut. II. NJ Parker, of Blissfield.
Mich, who read a brief history OF
company A at the banquet, carries with
him little piece of brass which saved
his life at the battle of Fort Donald
son, more than 40 years ago, and
therefore is highly priced relic. 1t

Point, in Missouri, opposite Cairo. a
long distance from Fort Donaldson
and three or four months before the
battle occurred, by one of his COM
RACES who wanted to check him
through all right, which it seems he
did. Many others of the boys were
checked at the same time, but none
of them derived 50 much benefit as
did the lieutenant. During the fight
referred to he knew that bullet had
struck him, as he felt the jar, but he
did not know how near it came to
making hole through his body until
he looked himself over afterward. The
check was hanging by little leather
strap, and with 1t still, on the In
side of his blouse and under his over
coat, and it was through there and
large pocektbook that the cold lead
went; it struck the check on one side,
bent it nearly half double, and glanced
outward through the clothing again,
1t did not touch the soldiers body, but
left him unframed. He was very much
out of patience, however, when he
found that it had cut his tobacco pouch
to pieces, and spoiled the smoke which
he SO wanted to take after the battle of
cannon and musketry had ceased.

Danger in Dieting.

New Workers who are dieting them

Prof Alexander Haig, the English die

popular notion that the average man
eats too much. Knowing the opinion

achievements represent wide range
OF employments. From the studio to
the dollhouse and from the town treas
nry to the cattery, the variety is large
enough to suit all tastes, Success in
any of these directions has not come
by accident. 1t stands for a certain
whCle-hearted devotion to work,
study Of scientific or artistic methods;
In short of wise grasp of the results
OF previous experiments, and cour-
ageous improvement upon them. No
one of the four occupations implies to
the thoughtful person OF to-day any
of the 'unsexing" of the workers on
which critics harped SO constantly 40
years ago. 1t is NOT unlikely that the
tag collector drives about her country

the artist from being the most beloved

safely be trusted to work in any way

Gen Bragg was noted in the army
for his faithful attendance at religious
services. One Sunday when the regi-
ment in which he was then major was
encamped near that town he went
with a fellow officer to church at Fred
ericksburg 1t was the most fashion
able church in town and the people
did not have any great amount of love
for union officers. The sexton glanced
at the blue uniforms and then started
to lead the visitors upstairs.
What are you going up there for?"
inquired Bragg.

it?"

Bragg.

ginning to look scared
Then show us to it," and the order
was promptly obeyed

CONCENTRATED FOOD.
Prof. Thomas Gives His Views Upon
This Important Dairy
Subject

The dairy COW will not rise to
MAY imum of reasonable production
uuless she is fed a sufficient proper.
tiun of concentrated food to bring
about such a result Bulky food can
be Tuch more easily grown on the
average farm than concentrated Be.
cause of this, concentrated food Is
more frequently purchased than bulky
food, and is, therefore, more expensive
relatively. Moreover, it is my Judgment
that many dairymen feed concen-
trated foods in excess OF the needs OF
the COWS which still further adds to
the cost OF feeding. The discussion OF
this question: therefore, is or ought tC
be, of much Importance to the dairy
man.
The amounts of concentrated food,
that IS the amounts of grain food that
should be fed to dairy COWS will OF
course, be influenced by the nature OF
thu bulk of food that is given. Sup
pose COWS in the one case eat clover
or alfalfa hay of prime quality, and
in the other, they must consume oat
straw, corn stalks or sorghum, the
amount of meal that would suffice
along with the clover or alfalfa, would
nos be enough to feed along with the
other fodder.
II would not be enough for the
reason first, that clover and alfanu
are in themselves a more nearly bal
anced ration than the folders named; ;
second, that they are more suitable
for milk production; and, third, be-
cause the COWS will consume more OF
them relatively than CT the other
foods.
OF course the degree of concentra-
ton in the food must be taken into
the account. For instance, should the
meal be composed, largely of corn in
the one instance and mainly of wheat
bran in the other, the COW could take
larger quantities of bran without in
jury than of corn. II is more bulky
food. In any event, however, even
where the feeding is sufficiently high
1t is questionable if more than eight
to ten pounds of meal should be fed
to mich COW for prolonged period
during the season of lactation. Ac-
cordlng to stateemnt by the Orange
Judd Farmer, very large and robust
COW may take one or two pounds more
with profit, but cow of 1000 pounds
live weight does not require more thar
the amount given above

Refuge for Debtors,

The Isle of Man, headquarters of
Scandinavian pirates in ancient days,
was in modern times the happy city
of refuge for the debtors of England
and the bold, bad smugglers. The
debtor especially gave the island an
evil name A sorrowful historian de-
clares that for nearly a century the
isle was a sanctuary for the unfor-
tunate and profligate of the surround
ing nations, who flocked thither in
such numbers as to make it common
receptacle for the basest of their
kind" Happier days have come to
the island, for 1t is now only the for
tunate who flock thither in such
numbers"

"Bs Pleasant Every Morning Until
Ten O'clock; the Rest of the Day
Will Take Care of Itself"

w III Adhc SaiS Va AtoC1A.
This is one of the best little SER
mons we know. Have you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper is usu'
ally ruffied, and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause OF
bad temper in the mornin5 is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? 1t has contained lot of indi
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. II
breaks up your rest and you wake uI
in the morning tired, instead of re-
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad-
monition to "Be pleasant every morn.
ing until 10 o'clock; the rest of the
day will take care of itself" for they
digested their food and woke up full
of life and energy ready for the days
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods instead of high
ly seasoned palatable connections,
which contain no nouriShment. Ma
ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods person can
live indefinitely but if the milk is
skinned and if the outside of the
wheat is taken off the kernel, and il
the lime, the salt, and the iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat
berry, If these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
goes into the stomach and becomes
sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in book called Back
to Nature" which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals OF
the simple kind-the kind that makes
you strong and we'll; the kind that
makes you Pleasant every morning
until 10 o'clock" This book Is pub
!ished at a great expense, but it is
given free to every reader of this
paper Il Is an advertisement Of
"EGG-O-SEE," the great food-whlch
is made from whole wheat, which is
baked and predigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers. You get more
life and energy from a 10-cent pack
age of EGGO-SEE than you will get
from thousand dollars worth of
white bread. This is no idle claim.
1t Is scientific fact. We want to
tell about this simple food question,
