Notice has been served upon Mayor

FRIENDLY TIP

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence ON the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen
orally.
A N. Y. woman writes an Interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago / suffered from
an attack of peritonitis which left me
in a most miserable condition. For
over two years | suffered from nerv-
BUSINESS, weak heart, shortness of
breath, could not sleep, etc.

felt starved all the time. / had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me
because of intestinal indigestion. Med
ical treatment did not seem to help,

and did not care much whether / lived
or died.
"One day friend asked me why
didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee, and use Postum. ! had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends / began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.

PROFITABLE DAlRYING.
Careful Feeding Essential to Getting
Largest Profits.

1t is estimated that the average
amount of feed required to produce
ton of butter worth $500, is equivalent
TO 40 tons Of hay, worth in the market
$3.50. Adding the fertility value of the
hay left after producing the butter, to
the value of the ton of butter, equals
800, or a return of $3.50 per ton fol-
the hay when sold to the cow, while
that fed to produce beef or mutton re
turns only $3.50. OF course, the diff
ference in favor of feeding the COW
goes to pay for the excess of labor re-
ouired in dairying This view of the
matter might help in the choice of the
kind of animals to feed. With broad
acres and little available help, 1t might
be best to feed beef or sheep. On
smaller farms and more. help, feed
the COW and hog. The degree OF
profit in either case depends much on
the skill of the feeder and on the Sc
lection of the animal. A friend OF
mine. whose farm is near Fond du
Lac, told me that he received from
his 25 COWS one year an average OF
500 per cow for milk and cream. Some
of my neighbors are satisfied to get
S45 per cow.-George c. Hill in AID

OPEN DEALING in PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying OF pig In a
poke" Mixtures In which chalk,
ground rock, etc, predor1inated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead" the deception not being ap-
parent until the paint and the paint
Ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but We have learned to
expose It easily.
National Lead Company, the larg.
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers, set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted q trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty OF
purity. on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and commences of White Lead may
be determined. and furnished blow.
pipe free to every one who would
write them for It. This action was In
itself guaranty Of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Company's White Lead.
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame II he is dofrauded. Fol

ADVANTAGES OF FALL CALVES.
MIX Is Worth More Then, and Calves
Are Easier to Raise.

There is every good reason why
calves should ordinarily be dropped In
the fall. September and October are
the best months. In the first place. 1t
brings the biggest production of milk
at the season of the year when prices
are highest. Then, too, 1t is better
for the calf to go through the cold
months Of his first winter unweaned,
and If turned out upon pasture about
June l he will hardly miss the milk.
Much has been said and written
about raising calves, but unless the
underlying principles are kept in mind
the job is failure. Indigestion is
the chief difficulty with the pail-fed
calf. Some calves seem to be born
with poor stomachs, and no amount Of
care will prevent the trouble.
Use moderate quantities of milk, not
exceeding four quarts for a young
calf, heated to 100 degrees Feed at
regular intervals from a clean pail.
If the milk Of the COW is very rich 1t
will be safe to make 1t one-third hot
water for the first few feeds.
After five or six days begin to sub
stitute skim milk in small proper
ton, until at the end of three weeks
the youngster is wholly upon skim
milk. Keep some bright hay and
mixed feed before him. and he will
soon learn to lick them. A good
bright stable, plenty of sun, and In
the spring good pasture, are
essential.

keepinu Butter Sweet.

Here is how one housekeeper who
cannot renew her supply of butter
every few days In summer manages to
keep it fresh.
She puts her extra pounds of butter
into a bowl large enough to hold 1t
when pressed tightly. Then she Gov
ers with a half cup of water to which
a teaspoonful of salt has been added
and sets in the refrigerator. putting a
lid on the bowl.
This method prevents the butter
from tainting, even If 1t must be kept
a week or more.

HIS OPINION OF FIELDING.
At Least, Only Kind Young Broker
Knew Anything About.

A young broker in Boston, while Wis
iting certain household in the Hub
not long ago, encountered number
OF young women graduates whose con-
versation suddenly turned to dis
cussion of the development of the
English novel.
The dealer in stocks and bonds
speedily found himself "out of It,"
Presently, during lull, one young
woman asked him:
what do you think Of Fielding, Mr..
Brown"
"Oh, fielding is important. of course, y
quickly responded the broker. but
it isn't worth much unless you've got
good pitchers and men who can hit
the ball"-Harper's Weekly.
