BUILDING FOOD.
a Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around,
When a little human machine (or a
large one) goes wrong, nothing Is SO
important as the selection Of food to
bring 1t around again.

old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever. and no sooner nad he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and.
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Color
ado mother.
II decided change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for 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 Grape-Nuts, 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 feed
Ing him the Grape-Nuts itself, and In
q wonderfully short time he fattened
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 little pho
tograph, send you what strong.
chubby youngster the boy is now. but
he didn't look anything like that before
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

All children can be built up to more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con-
tains the elements nature demands,
from which to make the soft gray fll-

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

VARIED CROPS IN INDIANA.
Clark County Raises skunks, Coon Dogs,
Snakes and Ginseng.

Clark County probably raises the
most varied crops Of any section in
the State of Indiana and has several
peculiar industries, one of which is
skunk farm near Marysville, where
the animals are raised for the pelts.
Not far from this highly scented place
Is dog farm, in Washington Town.
and sold. In Charlestown Township is
another dog farm, where nothing but
coon dogs are looked after, the pro-
prietor Of the industry getting high
prices for them. Near Nabb is the
headquarters Of a side show where
snakes are bred for sale. There Is a
farm not far from Jeffersonville where
turtles are raised in large numbers.
In Bethlehem Township number
OF farmers devote a good part Of their
land to the culture Of the sunaower,
which Is grown for it's seed, and the
crop this season is expected to reach
100 tons and bring in a revenue Of
$1,000. In the same locality butter
bean raising is a paying industry, and
hundreds Of gallons are now being
shipped to Louisville and Cincinnati.
A ginseng farm on Camp Creek,
Washington Township, is attracting
considerable attention. Next year the
first crop of roots will be gathered. On
the knobs in the vicinity Of ST. Jo-
seph's hill is probably the largest
grape vineyard in Indiana, nearly the
entire crop being used in making wine.
Near Henryville is one Of the few Tor
est reservations in the country, and in
this Mongolian pheasants are being
raised In large numbers.
