she uttered low cry of Joy and sped
toward Gustapher. So he honked
again, and at that the COW fairly
laughed with happiness and broke in
to gallop straight toward Gustapher.
Gustapher had never seen COW
act in just that way, and he didn't
know what to make of it, SO he
brought his car to a stop and took
hold of the bulb of his honker and
honked at the COW for all he was
worth The COW stopped straight in
front of him and looked at the auto.
mobile with puzzled air, and when
they had stood there for minute or
two she looked up at Gustapher with
wisdul, pleading look in her eyes.
For quite a while Gustapher did not
know what the COW wanted. He
thought maybe the heat had driven
Ter insane, and the more SO because
she got madder ard madder. Then he
gave her warning honk, and she
Immediately quieted down and re-
but when he didn't honk she grew
angry. They stood there at least half
an hour, mooing and honking back
and forth. Every time the COW woul1
moo Gustapher had to honk, and
every time he honked the COW would
moo, but you can't expect state rep
representative in Prince Albert
coat to sit all day in an automobile
honking for the pleasure of a spotted
COW. So he started his car slowly
and kept up steady low honking,
and the COW trotted along at his side
like a large coach dog.
But the more Gustapher thought
about it the more he felt that 1t would
not be dlgnifled to enter town paced
by a spotted COW, and as his old tea
pot of an automobile couldn't go as
fast as the COW could lope, he hardly
knew what to do about 1t. And right
there u.as where he realized that his
honker made honk exactly similar
to the bleat of calf and that the COW
did not care fig for him or his au-
tomobile-all she cared for was the
low. pleading honk of his honker.
So Gustapher unscrewed his honk-
er, and after he had studied the COW
awhile he tied the horn on the cows
fore leg, and then he made her hist
up her foot, and he tied the bulb on
the bottom of her foot. Well, If you
ever saw a joyous COW 1t was that
one when she set her foot to the
ground and the honker honked forth
a 4ow. calf-life honk. She practiced

being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find tGrape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing.'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
of fruit juice for flavouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
MY husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.

in this way ending the trouble.
