SHOOTERS FROM THEIR CRADLES

The best shots in the world are the
Kentucky mountaineers. The West has
nothing to compare with them. When
it comes to pulling a gun" quickly
and shooting accurately the most ex-
pert Of frontier bad men would appear
slow and clumsy by the side of many
of these mountain outlaws. They learn
to shoot almost as they graduate from
the cradle. Many Of their sports relate
to shooting The proprietor OF the
crossroads store has a shooting gallery
in his establishment, where IL other
localities you might find a slot mach
inc. In one store l saw "A wheel about
half the size of a spinning wheel with
pieces Of cardboard containing num-

from a box Of cartridges 10 bag OF
corn meal or a side OF "sOw bosom"

cardboard selected. The wheel was
given a swift whirl by the storekeeper

WHITE BREAD"
Lacks Things the Body Needs.

The valuable food elements required
to build up the nerves and brain are
found Up under the shell Of the wheat
and these parts the white flour miller
discards. because they slightly darken
the flour. It makes a big difference
in the body whether It is fed the prop
er food elements ~ not.
a Mo. woman looked into the matter
and found her weak stomach came
from too much nice white bread
She writes:
About years ago my health was
very Door appetite all gone. my stom-
ach too weak TO digest what little
could eat; everything soured. my
nerves We're weak and my heart skip
ped beats.
THE doctor treated me for liver
trouble without much benefit and fin
ally I had nervous prosuation. 1 was
very much discouraged and feared
would never be well again.
Deciding upon a reform at once,
and having heard so much about
Grape Nuts food for Strengthening and
building up a broken down system.
began To eat il and left off my white
bread. 1t did not sour on my stOm-
ach as the white bread had done.
Ny stomach soon got better. my
nerves stronger and l commenced TO
gain every way right along. Il was a
boon to me; truly a nerve and brain
builder. l have many thanks to give
to Grape Nuts and its originator FOX
good health in my old age.
Il am 30 years old and ever since the
first time we placed Grape Nuts food
on our table five years ago, il has
always been there. our family like the
rich nutty taste and often eat it dry
as well as with cream. But there are
many other ways of preparing Grape
Nuts. and we never fail to recommend
this food to those with tired and worn
out brains and nerves" Name given

THE PoRTENT OF THE FAR EAST

Your genuine Anglo-Saxon has a
contempt for dark skinned races.
Where this contempt originated does
not signify. 1t may date from the time
that the Germans defeated the Roman
Iegions. II may spring from the cen
tury-long wars which England waged
with France and Spain. At all events
il survives, a menace to national san
ity and a guarantee Of national loss
Nowadays this contempt singles
out the yellow-sk Asiatic. II Is
true Japan somewhat Jared il BY de-
feating Russia, but your average Amer
lean believes that Russia was defeated
as much by it's own stupidity as by
japanese prowess.
And as for China. there is not one
American in a hundred thousand who
can think of the Chinese as other than
curiOsities or laundrymen.
But ten years hence. whatever danger
we may find today in New Japan. vii
seem infinitesimal compared with dan
ger we will see in New China.
There are more people in China than
there are in Japan. the United States
the German Empire. France. Spain
Great Britain and the entire RUSSIAN
Empire combined.
What will happen when these hun
dreds of millions come under the con-
troll Of western civilization? Will tht
China Of 1917 submit to the treatment
which il has meekly endured from
Great Britain. France and Russia?
As long as the east was afraid Of this
west diplomacy was easy. That daJ
has passed. Japan is teaching Chin1
to dispise Europeans and Americans
It is only. matter Of time until China
shall have become 4 yaster Japan and
America will find herself between the
Scylla Of Europe and the Charybdis OF
Asia.
When that inevitable day comes We
shall be thanking our lucky stars that
some men and women were far-sight-
ed enough to send school teachers and
foreign missionaries TO China along

WHEN A MOTHERS LOVE FAILS.

Amid all the shame and sin of tht
Thaw trial most persons expected tC
find at least one clean spot. They
looked for it to the mothers Of the
prisoner and his girl wife.
They found it in the conduct of
Mrs. Thaw. They saw that mothers
love bold and strong and mistaken
despite the sins and crimes of the
son.
But in the mother of the hapless
girl wife they found it not. In
stead. they found a heart so unnat-
ural, conduct SO horrible, as to
outrage the whole human story of
mother and child.
All other loves may be analysed
OF them we may say: This motive
and that are its springs and
sources" But the love of the moth
or for her child defies human reason
to account for its power
No motive of pleasure or pain in
any way explains il. Even the mind
of Tolstoi. with all its power to
strip from human emotion its out
ward shows and lay bare its reali-
ties. breaks down when it tries to
analy2e it.
Therefore, when there is disclosed
a another so unnatural that she does
not protect her young that she
turns and rends her child we are
so appalled, by the spectacle that n.
consid Iteration Of abstract justice can
atone for the oifense.
In hsplea for Harry K. Thaw on
Monday Mr.. Delmas did well to
direct the attention of the jury to
the monstrous conduct Of Evelyn
Thaw's mother. who has not ceased
to assist the prosecutor Of Evelyn
Thaw's husband since the beginning
of the trial. His words are worth
remembering. not only for their
intrinsic worth. but for the effect |
they will have in deciding the most |
celebrated criminal case of this gen

Unnatural mother that she was,
TO desert her girl and leave her the
victim of the lust of this gray hair

TO wear diamonds bought with such

steal away the life of her only pro-

The Cooling Moth.

A. f. Hit. state horticultural in
spector, sends out the following in
formation regarding the cooling
moth. The time to fight that insect
is at hand. The new law prohibits
the sale of fruit that shows the raw
ages of the eodling moth. The
formulas fer the approved spraying
remedies are as follows:
REMEDY NO. 2.
Six ounces Paris green diluted
with 50 gallons of water. Directions
Place the poison with an equal
o;lantltv of powdered lime, in a
small yesse! with enough water to
make a thin paste. Let it stand for
about zen hours before using. Keep
the LIQUID well agitated when spray
ing. in order that it may be evenly
distributed on the tree.
REMEDY NO. 3.
White arsenic powdered) pound
Salsoda dump ,.,........4 pounds
Water. ........,.,...,...l gallon
Directions Place arsenic and sal
soda n vessel containing one gallon
OF hot w.. ter and boil fifteen minutes,
or until II IL all dissolved. Put the
liluid In a Jug, cork it up and label
il poison in the rlainest manner,
and lock il up securely until needed.
Use one pint of this liquid 10 each
each 90 gallons of water, adding
three pounds of quick lime, Stacked
in water. before using.
Note For the last spraying use
six pounds of saisoda in preparing
the arsenic and use one quart OF glu-
cose to each 90 gallons of spray, IN.
stead Of the lime. This is advisable
in order to avoid having too much
lime on the apples at picking time.
REMEDY NO.
Absenate of lead ....,6 pounds

Prepared by MIXING the Arsenate
Of lead with cold water. II adheres
much better and Is less Liable 10 \
burn the foliage than the other
sprays. Arsenate Of lead costs a
little more than Paris green as the
actual per cent Of arsenic is low,
hence more pounds must be used in
a given amount of water
In spraying. care should be taken |
10 force the liquid into the calyx Of
the apple The spray should be
thrown down from above the tree.
