GUIDES CHILDREN.
Experience and q Mothers Love Make
Advice Valuable.

An Ills. mother writes about feeding
children:
IF mothers would use Grape-N 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

short period they would experience
more than they otherwise would be-
Iieve.
Our children have all learned to
know the benefit Of Grape-Nuts as an
appetizing. strengthening food. It is
every evening, with few variations.
like this: Mamma, let's have toast and
Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or. let's have
eggs and Grape-Nuts'-never forget

Mrs. Northrup is devoted to paint

summer she was delighted. With her
children, she arrived here before the
cabin was completed and spent three
days painting forests and skies. When
she left she said she would return

some studies Of winter skies and eff

back on December n.
Arrangements were made to send
enough ham. beef, -four, eggs, but

stead of abating the storm increased
to blizzard.
Mrs. Northrup secured the bungalow
from top to bottom to find forgotten
food, but nothing more substantial
than three apples could be discovered.
These were served as their sauce for
dinner, and for supper Mr.. Blake
found half dozen acorns some squir-

ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.
Boston Business Man Wanted to Take
Time to Catch UP.

Several years ago. when the univer-
sity of Chicago held its decennial
celebration, John L. Rockefeller was
its guest for several days. A bewild-
ering succession OF functions followed
enc another In such quick succession
that each affair was from one to four
hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day. Mr.. Rockefeller, in his after
dinner speech, told the following
story:
IT have felt for the past "a hours
like the Boston business man who
lived in the suburbs and came in to
his ONCE every day. One winter after
noon he took the train for his home,
but a terrific snowstorm was raging.
and about half way to his suburb the
train was showed in. All night the
passengers were imprisoned. but early
in the morning they managed to reach
q nearby telegraph station. and the
Boston man sent the following. dis
patch to his office:

to soak in water. and then she went
to bed. Early next morning before
the others were astir the mother
found her beans swollen to four times
their natural size and proceeded to
make stew or a thick soup. Other
beans were put in the oven to bake
and the meal was ready.
How welcome these unseasoned
beans were or how good they tasted
can only be imagined by those who
have felt the pangs of real hunger.
Every one ate all he could. for there
was enough of the food for four full
meals, and capped the meal with
long draughts of water.
Snow continued to fall until the
following morning. when the skies
cleared and tire party got to civiliza-
ton on snow-shoes. each carrying one

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There arc three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. Tho first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second Is mother hood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from ono or another Of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkoam's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change Of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons. two OF which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

Letter to 81. d. Barnett,
Sumter, S. C.

Dear Sir: The easiest way we know
of to make little money is-if you're
going to paint-te paint with the paint
that takes least gallons.
Ta6e a small job; say it takes IL
gallons Devoe, two coats; that's an
average house. When the job is done
and the bill ccmes-in, it is $50; che
paint etc $3.50; the rest is for labo,
and carriage the labor is fixing the
surface, shifting ladders scafolds pull
leys snd ropes, and b-ushingon paint.
Take another job exactly like that
try another paint; it takes y gallons.
The bill is $40 more. Take another
exactly the same; another paint; 1t
takes 90 gallons. The bill is Sl00.
There is only one Devoe; there's q
dozen 12-gallon paints, and 100 that
take 20 gallons to cover a l0-gallon
job.
The only difficulty is in fnding-out
Devoe. After that you save work
there's less work in 10 than in II OF
20 gallons; less paint to buy and less
to brush-on and less wages to pay.
IF Deyoe we're only little better
than others; there'd be some difficulty
in fi,,ding-out the difference. 1t goes
twice as far as half the paints; that
| ought to be easy.
It wears longer too. You'll wait 8
good while, if you wait to fnd-out
how long it wears there are thousands
of people who know that the least.
gallons paint wears longest.

PROFITABLE FARMING.

The Importance and practical value
So the farmers Of Sumter county OF
the soil survey now being made un-
der the direction Of the United States
Department of Agriculture cannot be
,oyerestimated. But while the survey
in itself is important, and, when
completed, will afford a mass of ex-
act information that will be Of prac-
tieai value for everyday use TO those
farmers who qualify themselves to
utilize the information made availa-
BILE IN convenient form, the results to
be obtained depend wholly upon the
farmers themselves. The Department
of Agriculture will furnish the data
and Will suggest how the farmers
should proceed to obtain the results
desired, but this is all that the gov
eminent can do The farmers must
do the rest, they must help them
selves.
Supplementary to the soil survey
the department sends out fertilizer
experts, who, by field experiments,
extending over term Of years, de-
1nonstrate how to turn to practical
account the scientific data of the
.sol survey. These field experiments
will be made, however, only when
ahe farmers show a live and healthy
Interest ane when a sufficient num-
Der of them will cooperate with the
department in making the expert
ments. Mr. Frank Gardner, one Of
xhese soil and fertilizer experts is
now in the city looking over the field
for the purpose Of ascerraining
whether or not the farmers of Sum
ter county desire to cooperate with
the department in this line of work
supplemental to the soil survey. For
: the purpose Of laying the matter be-
fore the farmers a meeting has been
ascalled for Saturday, and we trust
THAT every farmer who wishes to OBJ
tain the most out Of his land, to in
crease its fertility from year to year
at the least expense and to make his
occupation as profitable as possible
will be present No more important
matter has ever been presented for
their consideration, and they should
not neglect the opportunity.
