Editor The Ranch:


l wish to tell you of my experience
with frozen potatoes. l had ton of
"spuds" in sacks. Two-third were
Early Rose, the other third was
white potato. The whites all froze
and are like wet sponge and of
course no good. The Early Rose were
not frozen at all. How do you ex-
plain that? They were all mixed in
the sacks. And will you please tell
me how to proceed TO get some of the
Reservation land that is to be opened
this year? N. j. CUTTER.
Port Discovery, Wash.
Editors Note-In regard to the pO-
tatoes, the susceptibility to action of
frost is probably varied by the tex.
ture and maturity of different variet-
ties, those containing most water and
least starch being most easily af-
fected. In regard to the lands, write
to the United States Land Office at
Seattle for information as to time
and terms of entry.

Develop Cllild-Faith.

A thoughtful biographer mas re-
marked, in dealing with the life OF a
devoted missioner, whose early man
hood had been spent away from
Christ. that careful observation mas
convinced him that when the hearts
of the young "are turned ChristWard,
although early impression may seem
evanescent, the first directions re-
turn after many days" Naturally
he has strongly deprecated that as
paragement of early piety WHICH,
alas! is by no means an uncommon
fault on the part of thougntless pa,
rents. This he terms "a terrible ana
most awful mistake" and adds:
"The right course is. by every
method, and, by a religious atmos-
nhere of home and school. to form
that clinging OF faith which is natu-
raj to a child. Where there is rlch
nature. there will be emotion. 10
disparage the emotion in such case
will be to prevent or kill the faith:
The child emotion will be corrected
by time; the faith. through 1t may
seem to falter, will, through COO 2
grace. assert itself again. London

then expect to see Him dispense that
power through a society. This is
what we actually see. Christ, being
the best and most prudent of all men
would naturally. do things in order.
This power is to be used for the sake
of men of good will 1t would not be
reasonable to expect that it should be
used for the sake of people who
would refuse it. That it is only men
of good will that will avail them
selves of the church's benefits needs
no proof.
Let us see now the way in which
the church uses her power. Certain
ly II was given that it might be used.
She uses it in baptism according to
the command: "Baptizing them in
the name of the Father. and OF the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost Con-
sidering that we are so very weak,
suppose we have the misfortune to
fall into sin after baptism, what
then? All. Christ's heart was too big.
It was Christ that said: Whose sins
you shall forgive they are forgiven
them" 1t was Christ also that said:
UNLESS you eat My flesh and drink
NV blood yon shall not have life in
gins body became the body and blood
of Christ why should it be hard for
Him to whom all power in heaven
and in earth was given to change the
substance of bread and wine into His
BODY and blood? Would it not rath-
err be a legitimate use of that al
mighty power that He received!
Moreover He received it to use it.
And is not Christ present with His
church to-day, active though lnvisl-
Bile?
The church has seven sacraments.
She has a special sacrament for every
important iuncture of our lives. PEN
ance and the Eucharist may be re-
ceived frequently. Therefore, power
which should be a prominent charac-
teristic of the church is most gener-
ously applied to us. The church also
uses her power in her many blessings.
The church. in her labors for the
salvation of souls, comforts the poor.
who must always be the many, with
the promise of riches in heaven. She
tells them that they do not suf1er
their poverty in vain. The rich she
eyhorts to charity under the promise
of a reward. The powerful she re-
strains from expressing the weak D9
telling them that they will have to
give an account The poor and the
weak are her special care, as they
were the special care of Christ when
He said: "The poor have the gospel
preached to them" Therefore, they
above all, should fill orr churches.
It would be hard to tell the many
consultations the church has brought
to the poor. To use the words OF
Isaias, through the church: Every
valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall become straight
and the rough ways plain. And the
glory of the Lord shall be revealed
and all flesh together shall see that
the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.

Personal Feeling.

"Oh. it was no matter of principle,
YOU know" answered a lady, when
a friend expressed surprise that IN
aiding to carry out an enterprise IN
which she was engaged with others,
she had accepted plans and assocla-
tions known to be disagreeable to
her. ut was only little personal
feeling of mine, and it was not nee
essary that it should have the right
of way"
The reply revealed a character
sweet and strong, trained to reason
ableness and unselfishness. With too
many the personal feeling is always
first, and claims free course whatever
may be hindered or pushed aside by
it. Mood and prejudice, like and DIS
like. take the right of way and dom
mate the life: everything with when
they have to do must go care1ully
round them if it goes at all.
It is rare self-control when one mas
learned to govern ones likes and dis
likes rather than be governed by
them; to say to such feelings: You
may exist, but you shall not rule

RESCUED DOG FROM WOLF.

RESCUED dug FROM WILT.
To have his dog attacked in broad
daylight in an open field by wolf
and to witness one of the hardest
fights he ever saw was the experience
of the nineteen-year-old son of Will
lam Bennett, whose story is given in
the Register, of lola, Kan. The dog
was nearly killed, and the wolf was
driven away only after repeated as
sault with a club in the hands of the
sturdy farmer boy.
The boy was blowing, and the dog,
which is a shepherd of fair size, was
playing about the field. Suddenly
the boys attention was attracted by
the barking Of the dog, and he turned
10 see the animal fighting full tilt
with a large gray wolf.
The fight was fast and furious, the
animals went round and round, and
finally worked their way up under the
pillow handles. The wolf was so in
terested in it's combat with the dog
that it did not realize that the dog
had 2 faithful ally in his master.
The boy saw that the wolf was
getting the better of the bargain, SO
selling a club, he hammered the ami
NAL with all his strength. The wolf
hung on with great tenacity, and it
was only after severe beating that
it let go. When it gave up, it made
for the woods as fast as its legs
would carry it. 1t made no attempt
to attack the boy. The dog was thor
ougnly exhausted and covered with
blood, but was not cowed. and later
in the afternoon raised a great
rumDus round q pile OF rocks in the
field near where the fight had taken
place.
The boy made en- investigation,
md discovered the VOLTS lair in the
rock pile. From the pile of rocks he
/ took eleven young wolves. The game
fight which the wolf put up was then
explained. The dog had discovered
the VOLTS den, routed out the wolf.
and the animal, for the purpose OF
protecting its young, had made the
! hard and determined fight which wild
/ animals know how to make under
| such circumstances.

Wood as Food.

In one quarter of the earth, at
least, wood, in a certain form, serves
as a common and constant article of
diet, and that is the northern coast
of Siberia At several points the
natives eat wood, and eat it because
they like it. Even when fish is plen-
tiful, wood usually forms part of
Intervening meal of these natives, as
testified by numerous travellers.
Clearly stripped larch logs near every
hut in that region are silent witnesses
to the general fondness for wood diet.
The dish is prepared by scraping off
thick layers Immediately under the
bark OF the log. These are chopped
fine and mixed with snow, the whole
being boiled in kettle. Sometimes
a little fish roe, milk, or butter
mixed with the wood.-Tit-Bits

NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc, which is
grown there by nature for food to
brain and nerve tissue. This is the
phosphate of potash, of which Grape
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food
elements in the two cereals, wheat
and barley, are retained. That is why
so many heretofore nervous and run
down people find in Grape-Nuts a
true nerve and brain food.
II can say that Grapc-Nuts food

Mr.. Thompson smiled.
