There were no fences at all by the

came to a great forest, where the trees
grew so big and close together that
their branches met over the road of
yellow brick. 1t was almost dark un-

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

II Is a serious question sometimes to
know Just what to eat when n per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that IL will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: II
had suffered with Indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever. and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach | would wish l never had to
eat anything
II was urged to try Grape-Nuts and

myself any more, but / can eat 1t at
any time and feel nourished and salts

and | am now strong and well
MY husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan 10 leave OH OTulHdry lOOu anu use
Grape-Nuts. It was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right of, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on It.
I am satisfied that 1t is because Of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"
1t contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
1t is pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med
icine and expense.

Cow testing associations are doing
good work in Wisconsin. and the sys-
TEN might profitably be tried in
other dairying sections. These as
sociations are of two kinds. the 81
COW plan" and the 80 cents a COW
plan" In the former the Dairymen's
association furnishes a man to do the
work Of weighing and testing the
milk of the individual cows in the
herd at an expense OF 81 COW for
the year. There are generally &c
members In each association. so that
tests can be made once a month on
each farm. Under the second plan
the farmers themselves weigh and
sample the milk from their cows for
one day each month and bring the
samples to their creamery or cheese
factory. where they are tested by the
generator at an expense of so cents
a year a COW. The associations in
Wisconsin at present are generally
organized on the 50-cent plan and are
ali under the supervision Of the State
Dairymen's association. These asso-
Citations originated in Sweden about
IS years ago and gradually spread
throughout the Scandinavian and
north European countries. Denmark
alone now has 480 associations, and
the net profits of Danish dairy farm
ers have been increased over rs per
cent. and in some cases more than
100 per cent.
