Fresh water is given three times a day during the winter. Charcoal, grit oys- ter shell and dry cracked bone are within reach at all times.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. T deem 1t my duty to let you know how Grape Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
 T had been troubled with it for years. until last year my doctor recom- mended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instruc- tions and now I am entirely well.
 The whole family like Grape-Nuts, We use four packages a week. Yos 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 pradigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stom- ach as the food she had been using; it also contains the clements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre- sents the steam that drives the engine.
 When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant sse.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted 7 Years-Face Was All Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
 Cuticura Effected Cure.

When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. I took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then l took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a nights sleep in months. got a set of Cuticura Rene dies and he felt relieved the first time l used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trou- ble will never return. Mrs. John G. Klumpp, so Niagara St..

DESERVED TO WIN HIS CASE.
Really Able Argument Put Forward
 by Accused Sailor.

A very good story has recently been told in the fleet of an incident which happened when Admiral Evans was in command of the Indiana. An old-time bluejaeket was at the mast before Capt Evans, charged with getting food out of a mess chest outside of meal hours. This getting of food for night watches is a common and strong desire on the part of most men aboard ship.
 Capt Evans asked the man what he had 10 say. and the man, sizing up the delicate situation, said:
 Captain, l didn't take no food outer that chest. Why. captain, there weren't no food in that chest! l looked in that chest. and, captain, I met a cockroach coming out of that chest with tears in his eyes. liar per's Weekly.

Good money is made by the Govern ment in which you have implicit faith and confidence. Good goods are made by manufacturers who are willing to stake their regulations on the quality of the material offered to you through the medium of their advertisements in this paper Counterfeit goods are not advertised. The reason for it is they will not bear the close scrutiny to which genuine advertised goods are subjected. Counterfeit money pays more profit to the counterfeiter Coun- terfeit goods are offered to you for the same reason.

A Little Story With a Moral for Every
 Union Man.

John Cracker and his wife lived in one-story. unpainted house, standing in the middle of cotton field Not tree surrounded the house. not a bit of green grass. His mules lived in d log hovel. through which the winter winds howled. and they ate cottonseed hulls for lack eff hay, and whatever corn could be spared. John had some scrub cattle out in the cane brakes all winter, but not COW to give them milk; and all winter and most of the rest of the year the only vegetables that appeared on their table were col. lards. field peas and sweet potatoes, and their only bread was eorn-dodgers with fat Western bacon for grease
