Flea Circus at the Fair.

"A flea circus will be one of the Spell man attractions at the Alabama State Fair" said a member of the executive committee, and it is declared that the man who originated this is a descendant of the original promoter of the flea cir GUS business
 "The first flea circus helped the hund- reds of wounded soldiers of the Cflmean war who were confined at Sebastopol to pass away the miserable hours of their suffering and recuperation. The grand father of the owner of the circus Which is coming here was a Prussian soldier who had lost both legs through the ex- plosion of bomb and to him belongs the first credit of ever training fleas to perform This man was very much worried by the fleas which seemed de- termined to take the prison hospital dur ing the long months of his helplessness. Being a watchmaker by professional he was allowed to tinker during his con flnement. He had lots of fine steel wires and light materials at hand. One day he caught an unusually large flea and after much labor with pillars and microscope ne succeeded in attaching steel collar 10 the neck of the flea and turned It loose' It came back the next day. The SOL dier captured it and put it in a small box. He put others in with it and kept them there till they came to Snow him and would answer to his whistle.
 .,It was not much trouble then to con tinue to build up the circus. lie made a tiny chariot and taught the 'leas to null it. and later on added other equlp- ment that was so minute that the naked eve could hardly discern it. Some of .his eor;nment is said to be still in use with the present flea circus.

DON'T GIVE UP.

 When you have tried and tried and failed And little else remains But after days of lessening ruth And half -heard. broken strains That once were all the songs of life, And dreaming, would forget The past of toll and bitterness, The fever and the fret When you have reached the stage of life Where courage fiickers low And yesterdays high-beating heart Is pulsing sad and slow, Think not 'tis time to quit the field And cowardly slip away; Another fight is yours to gain With every dawning day. And though, but yester-eye you lay Hard wounded in defeat, Or else, with panic disarray, Sought safety in retreat, Ever so long as life is left whispering hope doth tell How we shall win the goal at last And all will yet be well.

The Best Food for Workers.


The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor. without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. "a
