A healthy animal needs no tonic and it is use
less to spend hard earned money for fancy
named, extensively advertised stock foods. A
liberal feeding OF homegrown stuffs, reinforced
by selected nitrogenous foods, changed from
time to time for variety sake, win be more
profitable than all the stuffs one can buy in
fancy painted pals. 1t is foolish TO think that
these false famed goods contain wonderful
something that causes exceptional gains or
growth when fed in spoonful doses. A sick or
unhealthy animal often needs medicine, but the
necessary tonic should be administered through
the advice of a competent veterinarian rather
than by the feeding of patent stock foods or
reputed cure-alls. One bushel OF care is worth
two bushels OF feed and with reasonable
amount of both, little need will therc be for
fancy stock foods.

not seconded. Mr. Cattell moved the

we wonder? The princes army was a huge

from the beginning, and defeat soon turned
into rout. The prince himself was forced
from the field. and fed, first to Lord Iowa,

Licking Postage Stamps.
From the Boston Budget

Licking postage stamps is a very common
practice and one that few people would
associate with danger of disease Of any
sort. OF course, illness traceable to this
cause is rare. but that it does sometimes
occur no one can doubt. But aside from
the disease germ theory of ahstaining from
this practice it certainly Is not Clearly
habit nor is 1t a necessary action It is a
good deal easier and safer to lick the en-
velope or, what is better moisten the cor
ner of 1t with the finger tips and water
and then apply the stamp. A wet andker-
chief will dampen the envelope sufficiently to
make the stamp adhere. While great care
is taken in preparing the mucilage that is
put upon postage stamps, 1t Is impossible to
insure the perfect health Of the persons who
handle them. An employee with an inocula-
BILE disease might spread his Ill condition
through a whole country.

Each key, upon being pressed, points he
corresponding letter on band of paper,
which unrolls itself on a sort OIL pulley: The
characters are the same as those of the
