turns good floor wax dirty white tur-

floor wakes which are made with bees

CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
How This Distressing AiIment RIA,
Be Banished Without Druqs.

1t Is amazing that so common a diff
hculty as dyspepsia should be so little
understood by the general public and
that Its remedy should be so hard to
find. But It can be cured and without
any marvellous nostrums. by observing
n few important rules OF health. says
the Kansas City Times. The dyspep-
tic must first fix In his mind the fact
that his ailment Is the result of bad
habits OF eating and living and that
these must be changed and that drugs
viii do him no good. lie must begin
by avoiding oil starchy foods, as pota-
toes. rice, oatmeal. beans, etc. Meats,
soft boiled eggs, milk toast. zwieback,
etc, are the best foods for avoiding
fermentation and the gas that causes
dyspepsia pains. In serious cases but
termilk is one OF the best dependen-
Giles. Another IL boiled milk with
slight addition OF limewater. Either
OF these Will enable the most chronic
dyspeptic to procure some sustenance
without serious distress.
He should drink freely of hot water,
at least two quarts day, always taxi
Ing n glass half an hour before meal.
time. lie should not crowd his meals
close together, as with an impaired
digestion IT is often best to have the
meals six or seven hours or more
apart. The rule to bc followed Is that
u new meal should not he eaten until
the previous one is dlgested or out OF
the way and the stomach has had a
little rest, and there must be further
rest after eating.
IL Is absolutely essential to eat slow
ly and chew with the greatest thor
oughness. Complete chewing In the
mouth, permitting no washing down
with coffee or tea, salivates the food
so that IL Is ready for digestion when
Ii goes into the stomach, and persls-
tence will put good flesh on any lean
dyspeptc. There is theory that when
solid food Is chcwed In the mouth to
an absolute pulp that the organs In
the back of the mouth exercise n selec-
tive action and send to the stomach
only that which Is fitted TO he convert
ed into blood and tissue thus relieving
the digestive organs of handling the
waste. Whether or not this Is correct
Is for the science of the future to de-
termine. Certain II is that nature gave
as grinding teeth for the purpose of
chewing our food and never intended
that we should swallow 1t unchewed.
as do those animals having more than
one stomach.

SOME POSSIBILITIES OF ALFALFA

Professor ID. II. Otis Of the College
or Agriculture OF the University of
Wisconsin has Just concluded a series
or experiments with alfalfa as a feed
for dairy cows. He finds that Young
cows not giving milk can be kept In
good condition during the winter and
gain from 1.25 to Is pounds per day
when fed nothing but alfalfa hay.
Speaking further OF the value of alfal-
ia az ration. he states that, with an
average yield OF four tons, alfalfa will
produce $50 pounds OF digestIble pro-
tein per acre, to supply which in the
form OF oil meal would require Is
tons, which at present prices would
cost $3.50. A summary Of the feed
Ing trials which were conducted show
ed that alfalfa could be made to take
the place OF at least one-half of the
grain usually fed to dairy cows. The
cash returns from feeding alfalfa Mt
the different experiment stations range
from SO to $50 per ton. Professor
OTIS states in closing his report that
with a yield OF four tons per acre. a
conservative estimate would Indicate
that the Wisconsin dairy farmer would
be able TO Increase his profits from 80
to 40 per cent by the liberal yet Judi.
cious use Of alfalfa grown upon his
own farm.
