Wonder of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert of Sonora,
in Mexico, and since then it has been
kept-without watering-in a strange
climate $500 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks of rain in the des-
ert the plant grows it's leaves and
flowers and perfects it's seed. Then
1t dries up and leaves only a water
filled gourd, which thick, hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season of six
weeks. 1t wakes, sends out rootlets,
stems and leaves, and then dries up
again until the following year.

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, aud is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; !;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief. and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af-
dicted

GUIDES CHILDREN.
Experience and Mothers Love Make
Advice Valuable.

An Ills. mother writes about feeding
children:
IF mothers would use Grape-Nuts
more for their little ones, there would
be less need for medicines and fewer
doctor bills.
IF those suffering from indigestion
and stomach troubles would live on
Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a
short period they would experience
more than they otherwise would be-
lieve.
Our children have all learned to
know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an
appetizing, strengthening food. 1t is
every evening, with few variations,
like this: Mamma, let's have toast and
Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have
eggs and ape-Nuts'-never forget
ting the latter.
One of our boys in school and IS
years of age repeatedly tells me his
mind is so much brighter after having

GOOD POULTRYME EN-.
Some of the Ways in Which They May
Be Known.

1t is never difficult to Judge a poul-
tryman by the conditions which exist
around the yard and houses.
A good poultryman will keep every
thing neat and clean and provide
warm, and comfortable houses, with
nice scratching sheds. He will keep
only pure breeds, and these he will
select carefully and Gull out all poor
specimens.
He will feed carefully a variety of
foods-never too much or too little
and will at all times see that mites do
not get any headway in the houses.
He will provide a separate house for
the pullets and will never allow them
to roost in trees or on fences.
All in all, everything will tell at a
glance that he is the man who will
make success.

Throughout Mr.. Clay's performance

the mouth, and that kept charging

The Need of Grit.

I believe many chicks die during
the summer because they do not get
enough grit, declares S'tIter in Farm
and Home. The past summer my sup
ply of grit ran out and an unusual
number of chicks died of bowel
trouble. AS soon as began to feed
grit again not nearly so many died.
I make my own grit. l secured a
supply of limestone and crushed it to
the desired fineness and it gave excel
lent results. | am a great believer in
charcoal for chicKs, and, indeed, older
birds are all the better for having free
access to it. During the past summer
I have had excellent results from
using only dry feed.

THE GULF COAST OF
TEXAS
A LAND "FLoWlNG IN MILK AND
HONEY"
semi-Tropcal Climate; Vast Yields of
Vegetables and Fruit.

Corpus Christi, Tex. Feb. r.
The lower Rio Grande Valley is
sometimes enormously referred to as
Southwest Texas, and so is ElPaso,
but THEY ARE EIGHT HUNDRED
MILES APART.
1t is Winter in Northern Texas while
the Gulf Coast country is enjoying
sunshine like that of May.
In fact the Gulf Coast knows no
Winter-every month is a growing
month.
Texas produces wheat like Mime
sofa, corn like Illinois, and more cot
ton than any other two Southern
States combined. And no part of this
great State surpasses in opportunity
and possibilities the Gulf Coast Coun-
try and the region down by the Rio
Grande.
Artesian water was discovered five
or six years ago on the great King
Ranch, near Corpus Christi AS time
went on the Artesiap Belt was extend
ed until it now covers the territory
from Robstown, sixteen miles west of
Corpus Christi, to Raymondville and is
being extended monthly with every in
dication that a satisfactory flow will
be obtained in all territory not covered
by the systems of irrigation on the
Rio Grande.
One of the most successful planter 8
on the Rio Grande is Mr.. John Closner,
who owns six thousand acres near Hi
dalgo, on the S. L., b. & NJ. Ry. From
thirty-three acres of Bermuda onions
Mr. Closner last year $4,000 shipped
thirty-five carloads of as fine onions
as were ever grown. This crop alone
netted him $4,000.
Two crops of corn can be grown on
the same land each year along the
Rio Grande. Rice, cotton and numer-
GUS other crops, as we'll as a great
variety of fruit can be grown just as
successfully. At dinner recently
given some visitors, Gulf Coast agri-
culturist set fifteen 15) different va
rieties of vegetables before his guests.

pages, profusely illustrated and fully
descriptive of the Texas Gulf Coast

WORDS DERIVED FROM SPORTS.
Pastimes the Indirect Means of En-
riching the Language.

Sports and pastimes of bygone days
and even of the present time-have
added much to the English language.
Check" which is said to be "shak,"
variation of shah" has not only
come into common speech, but has
been the foundation of many other
words. A philologist traces to it the
checker board" the exchequer" and
"a checkered career" "A good move"
is also probably from chess. "Stoop,
to" is from falconry. Take the wind
out of her sails" is from yachting; so
Is "on the wrong tack" "To jockey"
ito show clean pair of heels" are
from horse racing.
Fencing has been very fruitful as a
source of new words. It gives "a hit"
"a palpable hit" to parry question:"
or fence with it,, "a home thrust" "a
counter" ito be off ones guard"
From pugilism comes Ito toss up the
sponge," or ito chuck it up" Put
your back into it, is reminiscence of
rowing.
Cricket has given many phrases, OF
which perhaps 'stumped," Il stumped
him on that question:" is the common
est. Coming up to the scratch" Is
probably derived from dueling. "Ay.
there's the rub" is derived from
bowls, though "a rub on the green" is
akin to it.

MRS. ELVA eARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change OF Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through ill health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

the critical period of puberty, has
