CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes .her experience thus:
Sometime ago had lot of trouble
from Indigestion, caused by too rich
food. got so I was unable to di-
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
a last resort tried 1t. ! am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive Or

desire. But I stick to Grape-Nuts."

LINE 1
Different Types of Grading.

sharp an angle, and the dirt for four
or five feet inside this sharp ditch is
not disturbed. This leaves what we
commonly call hump inside the ditch.
The ground line is really left intact
here, the dirt being dragged over it
and all punched in the center This
bench keeps the water from getting
quickly into the ditch; in fact, when
low, loose grades become worn and
settled, this bench often turns the
water back into the center of the
grade, even when the bottom of the
ditch at the outside is lower.
The object of No. 4, explains Farm
ers' Mail and Breeze, is to show the
folly of too narrow grading. We have
many examples Of this about us. A
few years ago this township bought an
expensive engine to pull a grader,
against the opposition of a majority
of the taxpayers. In an attempt to
prove the wisdom of their purchase,
the township officials made narrow
grades. The object was to put up
many miles of graded" roads in a
short space of time. These grades were
so narrow the bitches were brought
very close to the center of the high.
way. These bitches have been deep.

The wandering talk Unexpectedly re-

Reuben down to Benjamin.

Sniffles and Nerves.

Keep to yourself during warm,

that an Atchison man and wife dearly
love each other. She is a perfect lady,

were sitting on the porch, presum-
ably enjoying the tender twilight, she
suddenly picked up stool and threw

OF TWO EVILS, ETC.
Youngster Evidently Had His own
Idea as to the Choice.

My neighbor, writes a correspondent,
has four young sons, whom he and his
wife duly lead to church every Sun
day. Just as the sermon was about
to begin last Sunday one of the boys
was observed to look very uncomfort-
able, and, having explained the nature
Of his sufferings, was sent home. His
younger brother, in an urgent whis-
per, demanded of his mother: Where's
Tom gomez"
He's gone home"
What for?"
"The mother whispered, low: Hes
got toothache."
And the lad, as he sat up to listen to
the preacher, muttered, in a stage
whisper: Lucky dog!"

COST OF BAD ROADS.
Poor Highways Source of Loss to
Farmers.

The cost Of bad roads to the farm
ers of the United States is, perhaps,
difficult matter to estimate. However,
when 1t is considered for the entire
country upon the basis of highway
mileage and the results of expert
ments relative to the cost of hauling
farm produce, the figures are most
surprising. The federal department
of agriculture states that there are
2,151,57S miles of public roads in the
United States. or this mileage, sta
tistics for the year 1904 show that
about seven per cent. are improved.
During the crop year 1905-O6, 85,47S,.
100000 pounds of farm products were
hauled over common roads from farm
to market. AS no figures are included
| for forest or mine products or for the
general commodities of life that go
from city to country, 1t is evident that
| the slightest saving in cost of hauling
per ton would assume striking proper
tions when considered for the entire
country. Figures show that these
great crops travelled in wagons over
the country roads 20S, ,432,644 miles,
merely in being transported from the
farm to the railroad shipping point.
Investigations have established the
| fact that the average cost of hauling
| per ton per mile Is about 20 cents. The
cost on stone roads, dry and in good
order, is about eight cents; on stone
roads in ordinary condition, IL cents;
on earth roads containing ruts and
mud, 29 cents; on sandy roads when
wet, 33 cents; or sandy roads when
dry. GA cents.
A reduction In the cost of hauling
| from 25 cents to IL cents would
mean an average saving of ovOr
| $3.50. 100000

A RIGHT WAY TO GRADE.
II Work Is Not Done Right, Money Is
Practically Wasted.

How the money we raise by taxa
ton with which to build and repair
road grades is expended should in
terest all of us. 1t means a good
deal to have 1t used right; 1t means
great loss to us If it Is not used
right.
We have endeavored to draw a
few sketches representing our views
on how a grade should be put up.
These are calculated to convey our
meaning palmer than words can be
made to do so.
No. / shows an average highway
before being graded. This may have
been graded slightly some time in
the past, and may not have been.
In either case, you will recognize the
appearance. We believe it quite true
to life.
No. is drawn to represent our
notion of what is a good road grade.
Observe that there are no depressions
here. The way is clear to the ditch
at the side from the center. A road
drag on such grade does good, and
the more 1t Is used the harder be-
comes the grade and the quicker the
water gets into the bitches and off
the highway whenever it rains. OBJ
serve, too, that the bitches are well
out away from the center of the high
way, so If any cut deeper, as is often
the case on slopes, the center of the
grade is not disturbed. If grade is
put up like this, then dragged a rea-
sonable number of times each, year
never again will there be use for the
grader upon it.
No. 8 is calculated to show up
common mistakes in the handling of a
grader. A ditch is cut deep enough
and the right distance from the cen
ter of the grade, but it is cut on toe

A BREAKFAST CONVENIENCE.

these objections and from which the
poached egg can be quickly removed
without breaking the egg in the least,
q southern man has designed the egg
poaching pan shown in the Illustration.
This pan has perforations In the side,
the latter being Of continuous strip
of sheet metal shaped to poach two
eggs at the same time. The pan has
sliding bottom operated by an upright
handle at one end. In operation the
eggs are broken in the pan, and the
sides being perforated there will be
free circulation of the water. After
the eggs have been thoroughly poached
the pan with the eggs therein can be
removed from the skillet, and In order
to deposit the eggs it is only necessary
to slide the bottom from beneath the
sides, and the egg will drop upon the
toast or other article upon which 1t Is
