SENSE ABOUT FOOD.

Facts About Food Worth Knowing.
1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when 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 1t will di-
gest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
. A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
had suffered with indigestion for about
-four years, ever since an attack OF
typhoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food, and
then suffer such agony with my stom-
ach l would wish l never had to eat
anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it ! do not have to starve
myself any more but | can eat it az
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
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 put I'M
der the doctors care but medicine did
not seem to do him any good until he
began to leave off ordinary food and
use Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively sur
prising to see the change in him. He
grew better right off, and naturally he
has none but words of praise for
Grape Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
err and other scholars comment on it.
/ am satisfied that it is because of the
great nourishing elements in Grape
Nuts"
There's Reason"

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 medicine and

Treating Horse Corns.

CAS- in all other troubles, the cause
must be discovered if possible and rel
moved In a great majority of cases
the shoeing will be at fault. For a
sound foot, perfectly formed, fat
shoe with heels less thick than the toe
and which rests evenly on the wall
proper is the best. In fiat feet it is
often necessary to concave the feet as
much as possible on the upper surface
so that the sole may not be pressed
upon. If the heels are very low the
heels of the shoe may be made much
thicker. If the foot is very broad
and the wall light toward the heels
"a far shoe, resting upon the walls,
may aid to prevent excessive tension

necessary on some animals to enable

When Haying Is Done.


There's smile of relief and spirit
of fun
Comes over the farmer when haying
is done;
With his haylofts all swelling with
sweet-scented hay
His smile is as CHEEKY as sunshine in
May.
The summers half over, and out in
the field
He sees the approach of bountiful
yield;
AS tall as his hat is the golden topped
corn,
Which waves it's long arms in the
breeze of the morn,
AS fair and as fragrant as gardens of
old
Are his fields with their stubble as
yellow as gold.
With his barn full of hay and his bed
ding stacked high,
A smile on his face and CLEAN in
his eye;
The cattle provided with winter re-
past,
While apples and pumpkins are ripen-
ing fast.
There's a smile of relief and a spirit
of fun
Comes over the farmer when haying is
done;
The turnips are growing, the melons
are prime,
The harvest approaching, his boun
teous time.
All. Lucky the farmer who wanders
afield
And sees the approach of beautiful
yield!

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
Great Variety Growing in the State
Durable Woods.

Florida has perhaps more useful trees
growing within her borders than any 9TH
err state in the Union-a greater variety
But there is general desire to introduce
more. as the soap berry, the tallow tree
and the eucalyptus.
An addition to the discussion of the
latter, tree which is very valuable be-
cause it has the unusual quality of grow
ing with great rapidity yet furnishing
a hard and durable wood, is furnished by
a letter to the editor of the Florida Fruit
and Produce News by e. e. Thompson
Of Avon Park. Mr.. Thompson says, in
part: Eucalyptus trees were first
planted here about 1894, and were in
jured by the great freeze but sprouted
and grew like Orange trees. a few
Eucalyptus trees planted later have made
such wonderful growth as to cause peo-
pie to look up, take notice and rubber
neck to see the lofty tops. The growth
in ten years is feet around the body
'"rhe seasoned wood is hard as hickory
and posts show no decay in the ground.
The limbs, twigs. leaves and seed cases
make the very best fuel. Our people are
convinced of the great value of eucalyp-
tus and are planting them up and down
the avenues and in the cemetery and
will soon plant them in forest FORM"
In California ~ some species of
eucalyptus show greatest development in
low places where rainwater stands and
in swamps, river bottoms, etc. though
they will endure drought, according to
bulletin of the University of California
The durability of the wood, according to
other authorities, is due to an oil with
which it is impregnated and which is
extracted for commercial purposes.

Bush or dwarf beans are easy to
grow and are one of the best and most
popular of garden vegetables A sue
cession OF them should be planted and
be coming ON from the very earliest
summer till after the first frosts of
autumn. Beans of all kinds are some
what tender and are easily killed by
late spring frosts, yet they are easily
and cheaply planted and risk should
be taken in planting extra early. If
the first crop happens to be caught by
frost. it is very easy matter to plant
the same space over again and little
will be lost by the trial. as one prep
aration of the soil will serve for a
succession of crops.
For bush beans prepare the ground
early in a dry condition, working it
down to a very fine and even seed
bed. Make the surface soil especially
fine and loose, since the bean some
times has difficulty in coming up in
three or four days. Give the young
plants clean and light surface cultiva-
ton to conserve soil moisture. A
three or four-shoveled horse cultivat0r
may be used, but never in them while
the vines are in the least wet or moist,
as this will bring on disease. Plant a
succession, about three weeks apart,
up to the last of August in central lat
itudes. Pick the beans clean while
they are green regularly and the vines
will bear longer If beans are allowed
to ripen on the vines the vines will
soon die.

oh. Scissors.

The first grade teacher had been able
to spank Tommy with the greatest en-
thusiasm, but his next teacher had not
reached the point where she felt she
could do justice to him in spite of all his
naughtiness.
''Send him to me when you want him
spanked" said the first grade teacher
one morning, after her colleague had re-
lated his many misdemeanors.
About II o'clock Tommy appeared at
the first grade teachers door. She
dropped her work, seized him by the arm,
dragged him to the dressing room, turned
him over her knee and did her duty.
When she had finished she said, well,
Tommy. what have you to say?
Please, miss, my teacher wants the

the amount of his policy.
Gen. Rucker was for many years by
intermarriage citizen of the Cherokee

toned at Fort Gibson with the dragons
in the early Hos that he married Miss
Flora Cooley. daughter of Joseph

Milk Contamination.

There are hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from
the time it is drawn from the udder
till 1t reaches the table in the form OF
sweet milk, cream or butter. First
great deal of bacteria, impurities and
disease germs get into the milk at the
barn or lot in which the cows are
kept. Second, a great many more OF
these owe their existence in milk to
the attendant and the place in which
the milk is kept. The moment the
cow shows signs of being i'll, or when
even a slight eruption is noticeable, a
person may contract disease by partak'
ing of her milk Impure water is an,
other way in which milk is contanli-
mated If the cow is compelled to
drink out of mud hole, filled with
disease germs, she cannot help but
drink a large number of those germs
into her system, some of them being
sure to reach her milk. Milking the
cow into an open pail when the barn
is filled with dust, and from which
there hangs an untold number OF dirty
cobwebs, or milking her in an offens-
lively smelling lot, where the filth is
ankle deep, or milking cow whose
udder, TANKS and legs are covered with
dirt and filth-in such cases it is i'm
possible to avoid contamination OF the
milk. 1t is believed that more disease
germs are given the human family
through milk than are given in any
other agency; and we also believe that
less attention is paid to the care of
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.
