What Is coffee? Not beans-bran and molasses-or chicory. It ought tobe pure, clean, ft-to-drink, healthful food. Think of it-you put coffee right in your stomach. Theveryf first thing after you get out of bed. And you do a days work on 1t. Don't insult your stomach. Pure, good coffee like Court Square Blend never hurt anyone. It's gentle, soothing stimulation adds life to every day and days to every life. It's absolutely pure.
 It's unqucstionably healthfuI. And it's the best tasting 25c coffee on earth.
 You can't help but like it.
 If you don't, you get your money back.

FORAGE PLANTS AS
SOIL IMPROVERS
BY j. f. Northrup, Minnesota.

Milet grown on new land for hay Ia a
soil improver; 1t helps to disintegrate
the soil. shades the land and makes
plant food available. Grown on old
land for seed II exhaust the soil, con-
sequently puts little back and from
this standpoint is soil robber. The
leguminous crops, peas, beans and the
clovers are held in high esteem not
only as forage, on account OF high pro-
tein content, but also for the nourish-
ment in shape of nitrogen they furnish
soil, which has been exhausted in the
growing Of grain crops. These valu-
able agents, however, will make the
land sick and return diminishing crops
IL grown on the same ground year af-
ter year, and thus prove soil robbers.
All forage crops are, therefore, good
or bad. according as they are used in
the proper rotation. At the Minnesota
state experiment station, where corn
was grown continuously on one plot
for ten years, II gave an average of
20.S bushels per acre for the first five
years and Ill bushels to the acre for
the second five years. While on plot
alongside, where corn was planted but
once in five years in system of ro.
tation, the average yield for the two
years it was planted was 4S.2 bushels.
The manner In which forage crops
are harvested is also a large factor In
considering their value from a profit
and loss standpoint 1t is becoming
In 40
northwest to turn sheep, cattle and
swine into the fields to harvest the
crop. This saves labor, and at the
same time fertilizes the fields. II is
plain, therefore, that, in the considera.
tion of forage plants as soil improvers,
allowances must be made for the par
ticular field where the crop is to be
grown.
In many sections OF the northwest
field corn is becoming a standard crop,
regardless of early or late frosts, be-
cause of the large quantity and su-
perior quality of forage IL yields. In
addition to its soil renovating and fer.
tility-restoring properties, both as a
substitute for summer fallow and for
the forage it produces. 1t has been
demonstrated again and again that the
best yields and qualities of small
grains come from fields where corn
was grown the previous year. The
North Dakota experiment station gives
most convincing record on its trial
grounds. where, during a very dry
summer, wheat on corn land made 20
bushels per acre, where the crop from
land which had been sown continu-
ously to wheat for II years made less
that three bushels to the acre.
Dry land farming has demonstrated
that a crop OF corn grown on semi
arid lands prepares it for a succeeding
crop fully as well as summer fallows,

ONLY GOT BACK HIS OWN.
Umbrella Had Long Been Absent from
Its Proper Hall Tree.

-Stories about umbrellas" said
New York physician. when that useful
article was the subject Of discussion.
"are as numerous as fish stories, and
often test Just as severely tie
credulity OF those who listen to them
This is true one: A patient tele-
phoned an hour after he had been at
my office one morning that he had left
his umbrella on the hall rack; would I
see that IL was kept for him? My
servant found It, and that evening
while we were at dinner he called. got
the umbrella mad came In to thank me.
There he told long story as to how
he valued the umbrella because no had
carried It long time, and 1t was just
the right weight and showed a dent
in the silver handle which had been
made by his little boy when he used 1t
as hockey stick. ! saw my wife
smile while the story was being tod.
She understood my wink, however.
and we said nothing. But when the
man had gone away with the umbrella
under his arm we laughed, for We had
recognized the umbrella which had
carried out and never brought back
more than three years ago"

looked at him and asked him what
dwarf, who had learned to speak a
little English, got on his knees and
told Pa the skyship had landed In the
midst of his own tribe, where he had
been stolen from a year ago by an
other tribe, and that the feast was a
cannibal feast, got up in honor of the
tribal Thanksgiving, and that the
bodies roasting were members of an
other tribe that had been captured in
a battle, and the dwarf got up and be-
gan to talk TO his old friends and
neighbors, and he evidently told them
we were great people, having rescued
him from the tribe that stole him, and
brought him back home in the skyship
safe and sound.
The people began to kneel down
to Pa and worship him, but Pa said
1t made him sick to smell that stuff
cooking, and he told us that he felt
our end had come, cause we had
landed in a cannibal country, and they
would cook us and eat us as sure as
cooking.
Pa said If they roasted him and
tried to eat him, they would find they
had pretty tough proposition, but he
thought the cowboy and would make
pretty good eating
We got our Winchesters and revol-
vers off the airship, and got ready to
fight If necessary, when suddenly all
of the negroes. dwarfs and full-grown
negroes got down on the ground, and
kissed the earth. all in two lines, and
up to the far end of the line, near the
kings house, out came the king of the
tribe. dressed like vaudeville per.
former, and he marched down between
the lines with stately tread towards
Pa and the cowboy and your little
Hennery.
He had on an old plug hat, so years
old at least, evidently only worn on
occasions of ceremony, and the rest of
him was naked, except a shirt made of
grass, which was buckled around his
waist, and he carried an empty to-
mato can in one hand and big oil
can, such as kerosene is shipped in,
in the other, and around his neck was
a lot of empty pint beer bottles strung
on piece of copper wire, and he had
his nose and ears pierced and in the
holes he wore tin tags that came off
of plugs of tobacco.
He was a sight sure enough, but he
was as dignified as a southern negro
driving a hark. Pa kept his nerve
with him, rolled cigarette. scratched a
match on the seat of his pants, and
lighted 1t, aud blew smoke through his
nostrils, and looked mad. as he laid
his Winchester across his left arm.

Not Afraid Of a Ghost.

In village in England. a month or
80 ago, man came running into an
Inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was ghost in his back
yard. There we're IA men in the inn.
and not one Of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was a person who dared. however. and
that was the landlords daughter, girl

at distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost Tapping its
arms about, and discovered-whatY

first big village we came in sight OF
he was going to land and take our

Pretty soon big village loomed
up ahead on high place near a river,
with more than 100 houses, and fields
of corn and potatoes and grain all
around II, and one big house like
about 40 hay stacks all in one, and
Pa gave the word to stand by, and
when we got near the village the
whole population came out beating
tomtoms, and waving their shirts,
and Pa pulled the string, some of the
gas escaped, and we came down in a
sort of plaza right in the center of
the village. and tied the drag rope to
a tree, and anchored the gas bag at
both ends.
The crowd of negroes stood back in
amazement, and waited for the king
of the tribe to come out of the big
shack, and while he was getting ready
to show up we looked around at the
preparations for feast which we
had noticed.

NO MEDICINE

Many persons are learning that

There is a certain element In the

In making this food all the food ele-
