the splitting neuralgia headache which

limbs would be cold and without any

would come over me.

SHEEP GROWING.
Where They Can Be Raised to Best
Advantage.

From the theoretical stan dpoint
sheep can be successfully raised in
every state of the American union
and especially in the south. AS a
matter of fact, however, sheep are
raised in flocks of thousands princi.
,pally in the semi-arid states of the
west, while most of the sheep kept
in the humid states are in small
fiocks. The writer of this was talk
ing with a sheep rancher from the
west who much wanted to move his
sheep breeding operations to the sun.
ny south" But after investigation he
came to the conclusion that the plains
of the west were better adapted to
sheep raising than the south, on ac-
count of the smaller rainfall. Where
the rainfall is considerable the sheep
have to be provided with shelter and
looked after more carefully than else
where. In the west the sheep can
be allowed to stay out the year
around. In the summer the rain is
not constant enough to injure them,
and in the winter the snow is not
deep enough to cover the grass on
which they feed.
This gives the advantage to the
ranges, so far as the raising of large
iocks of sheep is concerned; that is,
the raising of sheep by the thousands.
But in other parts of the country
sheep can still be raised to great ad-
vantage, especially in the rougher Sec
tons of the country. In a recent trip
through New England | noticed that
in much of that country the pastures
have grown up to brush to such an
extent that they now produce less
grass than they used to. / could not
help thinking how admirably these
pastures were adapted to sheep and
how the sheep would have kept down
the shrubs and brush. / expect to see
the time when those hillsides, now
growing up to arboreal growths, will
be covered with flocks of grazing
sheep.

largely on the farms where the
soil is a rich prairie loan and all cul.

intensive farming than is indicated by
the grazing of sheep. But the wild
wastes that are increasing in some
parts of the country can be made

Checked Attempt at Monopoly.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with
summarily in old England. For IN
stance, the records of the Brewers
company show that "on Monday, July
80, 1922, Robert Chichele, the mayor Of
London, sent for the masters and II
of the most worthy of our company to
appear at the Guildhall for selling dear
ale. After much dispute about the
price and quantity of malt, wherein
Whityngtone, the late mayor, declared
that the brewers had ridden into the
country and forestalled the malt, to
raise its price, they were convicted in
the penalty of $40 ($100), which OBJ
jecting to, the masters were ordered
to be kept in prison in the chamber
lain's custody until they should pay it,
or find security for the payment
thereof"

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The story Of Postum Cereal in Words
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of it.
THE Door Unbolted' is the title of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
illustrates. the story of this remark
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. 1, 1895,
through the palatial Offices and great
factory buildings of the white City
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day. an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is tie quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is a reproduction of
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums Of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms OF the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea of giving TO his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Company
and it's furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and of all of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t will be sent
TO anyone on request.

Uses of Masks.

among the North American Indians
the origin of the use of masks lay"
says a writer, lin the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"

Able 10 Command Sleen.

With Georges Clemenceau, the new
French premier, sleep is a mere mat
ter of volition, in which facility he re
sembles Gladstone and the great Ma
poleon. He drops off to sleep at any
odd moment-in his private carriage
and even at meetings OF the cabinet
when only routine matters are under
consideration. This ability to go to
sleep when and how he pleases is the
secret of his tremendous ability as c
worker. He learned English in thi.
country and speaks it perfectly
though with reluctance, feeling tha'
his acceht is not exactly to his Xix

Don't Let Sheep Catch Cold.

Catarrh is often contracted in the

chronic and catarrh sets in. Colds

suit of improper ventilation. Remove

Mix Soap With pouuh.

From a communication read to the
Association of Belgian Chemists it
seems that continental bakers are in
the habit of mixing soap with their
dough to make their bread and pastry
nice and light. The quantity of soap
varies greatly. In fancy articles like
waffles and fritters it is much larger
than in bread.

ONE VIEW OF THE PANIC.

1.-The stock gamblers and specula-
tors started banks, and banks got the
people to deposit money in them.
They used this money until out of
every $1OO of deposits there was only,
according to statistics, 1852 on hand.
They helped to buy watered stocks
and fraudulent trust issues. The in
evitable panic came.
"The United States loaned the
: peoples money to help the vampires.
The banks issued clearing house cers

than $50 on checks.
And what would a man do who
wanted his money to use for cash,
where the clearing house things were
no good?
And what do the fellows mean? ?

Dear Brother: 1t is with great
pleasure that I am permitted to drop
you few lines once more. I have
been very feeble since you last heard
from me. Am nearing my seventy
seventh mile-post, and am afflicted
with kidney and bladder trouble,
which worries me a great deal.
L am so sorry that I can not take
hand in the great fight that is going
on now between labor and capital.
The battle will be hard one; they
will die hard, but I do hope the fight
Will be fought to a finish. We are
getting them walked up now, and if
we only had the right kind of a man
rs president, or if we only had Old
Hickory Jackson we could do somc-
thing, but such men as he are not
born every day.
Roosevelt wants to be Gall things
to all men, He would like to be
with the common people, but he is
afraid Of Insulting the crowd that
furnishes the campaign Doodle; that
is where the trouble comes in with
bim. He would like to, but he is
afraid to.
W. j. Bryan is the same way. He
says Re is steering his course in be-
tween the conservatives and the radi-
Gals, and he thinks maybe he can get
there by that route, but he never
will. He is neither flesh nor fowl.
We had the honor Of his presence
the other day in Charlotte. The old
"me, too" Democrats made a great
fuss over him. Some cf them told me
they did wish could nave heard him.

and that was enough for me. told
them he changed his politics too often
for me. The answer was that smart
man should change when he found
