0AID WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward BY
French Bigamist.

At Versailles, France, recently Q
baker was tried on charge Of polyg-
amy, having married five women,
who are living and undivorced. The
pentagamist's defense was that he
had not married the women; they had
married him. When they proposed
he had not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim Of the stronger wills of his
successive spouses. or the five wives
three appeared as witnesses, but did
not prosecute, saying that their COM
mon husband was topper Of whom
they were glad to get rid. He was
hcquitted-on what ground does not
appear. AS all the years in which
the multiplex husband took wives
were leap years except 1881, in which
It would seem that in four out of
the five cases the women had the
right to propose. But the man had
the right, even in the leap years, to
decline, and 1t was up to him at least
to explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged. To establish the prin-
ciple that man is not responsible
for the number of his wives unless
he himself does the courting, would
be plainly against public policy. II
"Barkis is willin," that at once puts
oil the responsibility on him, no
matter who managed the prelimi-
naries.

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble for People with Weak

A lady in a Wis. town employed a

eat white bread for two years. She

trouble. My husband called a new
doctor and after having gone without
any food for 10 days the doctor or
dered Grape-Nuts f)r me. ] could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept me on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was a little glycerine to heal the
alimentary canal.

me to eat Grape-Nuts twice day and
no white bread for two years. l got

HOME GROWN FEEDS.
What Will Prove the Most Economical
In Feeding the Cow.

The most economical feeds that
have been able to find for feeding
dairy cows include corn, rye, peas,
bran, clover hay and corn stover,
writes farmer in Farm and Home.
The quantity will depend upon the
size of the cow and should vary ac-
cording to the amount of milk pro.
duced.
For the average COW, weighing
around 1000 pounds, and giving from
two and one-half to three gallons
milk per day, / find the following to
be about the right amount for a
dairy ration: Four pounds corn,
three-fourths pound bran, 1915 pound
cow peas, $40 pound clover hay and
all the corn stover that they will
eat. Whenver l do not have the
cow peas, / increase the amount of
clover and add one to one and
one-half-pounds cottonseed meal.
l think cow peas one of the best
and most economical feeds for dairy
cows that we have. The cows like
them better than any other dry
feed, and they are rich in protein.
l always try to raise enough peas
to feed my cows small amount dur
ing the winter. The only feeds
buy are bran and cottonseed meal
My cows are fed in stalls and
hangers similar to the Boards dairy
stall, which is very satisfactory.
In feeding, l think it best to be reg
ular both as to quantity and time of
feeding. Any increase or lessening of
feed should be done gradually.

$3.50 short tons, valued at $2O,OOO.
The most active mining operations
have been on Cook inlet, In South
western Alaska, on the Yukon, IN
Seward peninsula, and at Cape LIS
burne. All of these were for the
purposes OF local fuel on small coast
wise or river steamers at mining
camps and at canneries.
Alaskan Goals have in recent years
been the subject of a large amount
of special Investigations by the gea-
logical survey, and in addition much
information concerning coal has been
gathered each year since regular geo.

survey parties working primarily on
other problems.
