Plymouth Rocks OF u mixture of one of
tho Rocks. This man was not Il Rock
breeder either. We do not know Wheth-
er his statement is oNerdraw nor not.
but one thing seems certain. that the
Rocks are the farmers owl if we are
to judge by the large humble we see
on the farms. There are three varieties
of Rocks in general use. There seems
to be no difference in the characteris-
tics of three colors as far as general
farm utility is concerned. out the
Barred Rock. being the older breed. is
perhaps the oftenest in evidence in
common farm focks. The W~yandoltes
are pressing close on the Plymouth
Rocks as Il general utility fowl. In
size they are a tritle smaller. Their
rose combs recommend them to many
i'm this Wildly climate as less liable TO
freeze. There are seven varieties of
Wyandottes being bred for general pur-
poses. Surely u wide range of choice
in color. The Buff Orpinston is coming
to the front as a me fowl. but is
very much less known in this section
than either Rocks or Myandottes.

If valuable birds have heavy, long
wattles see to it that they get no chance
to get the throat feathers about the
wattles wet while drinking. When this
occurs in severely cold weather the
wattles get frozen very easily. 1t is a
good plan, where one has real valu-
able birds, to keep the cocks With
heavy wattles in a coop by themselves,
where they can only get the beak into
the drinking vessels. This need be
done only during very severe weather.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Care
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry
etc, produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digestedl, are over
taxed and the food ferments. produc-
ing gas. and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into a form OF
sugar during the process of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained: the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate Of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains. and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re
build worn out cells in the brain.
This Is a scientific fact that can be
easily proven by ten days use OF

STORM STRUCK ST. JOSEPH

A Dozen Residences Struck by Light

damage in st. Joseph and vicinity
Thursday night. Houses were wreck
ed street railway tracks torn out
and cellars flooded The family of
Daniel Riordan, one mile east of the
city had a miraculous escape from
death. The residence, two stories In
height, was torn from the founda-
ton and completely demolished. Rior-
dan, his wife and three children had
taken refuge in the basement. They
were bHied under the debris but the
wind lifted the house bodily from the
foundation and none of the heavy
timbers fell on them.
Scores of houses were washed
from their foundations in the city
by the rain which amounted to
cloud burst. ST. Joseph nestles in
hills and the force of the tornado
was broken. Sewers could not carry
off the water and the raging torrents

wade one of these torrents. He was
swept from his feet and carried to-
wards the Missouri river two blocks

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged-Cu-

"Our little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but l thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
SO purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. Of course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

QUICK REMEDIES FOR cRAMP.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful Afflction. ..

Do your little growing folks wake
up in the night with cramp in their
toes or legs? If so, tell them to slide
down to the foot of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footboard.
This seldom fails to bring relief. Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain in her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp is up by the knee, it
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press the sole of her cramped foot
against the instep of the other. Press
good and hard, and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric
ity drawn from the well foot, will GER
tainly bring relief unless the case is
very stubborn. To treat the knot
ty," stubborn kind of cramp, which
sometimes seizes the little folks when
they are nervous, or If they have
eaten something which does not agree
with them, to tie a broad band (fa-
TIERS handkerchief, folded, will an
swer,) tightly above the cramped part.
Rubbing, unless one knows just how
to manipulate the MUSCLE often does
more harm than good. The doctors
tell us that cramp of this kind is as
much a nervous as a muscular trouble.
If your children suffer frequently
with it, a good warm bath with an
alcohol rub at night Is a good pre-
yentive. B. N.
