CHANGE IN FOOD
work. wonder, H. He.Ith.

Works Wonders In Health.
1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cur dyspepsia. "I deem it
my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
81 had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. I followed instructions
and now l am entirely well.
The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food. is that it
is predigested by natural processes and
therefore does not tax the stomach as
the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the system. If that
part OF the human body is In perfect
working order, there can be no dyspep-
STA. for nervous energy represents the

Lord Kelyin,. Romance.

There was an element of romance In
the late Lord Kelvln's second mar

that the great scientist met his bride

suits drew them together. The sci

said good-by to the lady on the bridge
of his yacht on leaving he looked at

"Oh, yes" replied his lady friend, az

What Beef Men Think OF sila-e.
The success attending the use OF
silage in the dairy business has created
much interest among beef cattle men.
Silage furnishes Il succulent food,
which is quite essential to the dairy
SOW in keeping her digestive system in
good condition. The same will be found
true for the beef animal. Twenty
pounds of silage per day will supply
all the bulk md water needed in a
fattening ration. The other ~roughage
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy of using
silage for fattening purposes is well
brought out by Prof. A. NJ. Soule of
the Virginia station. who has stated the
following conclusions;
There was a difference of from 3
to s. of n pound of grain per head per
day in favor of the silagc-fed cattle.
They also finished out better and in
any discriminating market would GER
tainly bring a better price than the
dry-fed cattle. t
"Of the three forms of roughage fed,
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, and there was absolutely no
loss. whereas with the stover the loss
amounted to 49, per cent n with hay
4.1G per cent. Where a large number
of animals are fed this would max a
considerable difference in the cost OF
ration, except that the shredded stovel
can be utilized to advantage for bed
ding"
Silage as it is put up to-day Is bet
ter than when the practice was FIRST
sturted. Good silage of corn is made
when the grain has passed h mill
stage and has commenced to glaze q lit
tie. Silage is made also from sorghum
corn and cowpeas and pea vines.

Corn Slower,

Corn stover is used both shredded
and ~unshredded. Ordinarily the cattle
will waste a considerable quantity
whichever way it is fed. The shredded
fodder is prepared because the cattle
eat a greater percentage of it and the
manure is handled more easily. Fod.
der is often fed on the ground in the
open pasture field to save the hauling
Of anu
There is a saving, however, in hav'
Ing the fodder shredded. Usually the
feed Is taken care of earlier and there
is less exposure to teaching rains and
wcathering processes. Again. more
feed can be put in a smaller space
thus requiring less storage space

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each Of
which gave us something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend

Ointment. A few days afterwards Inn
provement could be noted. Since then
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
