FOLLY OF BEING PRoFANE.

Quite a stir has been created at
Mornin gside College up At Sioux City
by the report which has reached there
that the football team which the In
stitution supports Is almost a. fluent in
the matter Of imprecatory objurgation
as it is efficient in throwing the OBJ
long period across the gridiron.
1t is claimed that while the team
was playing at Ames the other day
short ugly words went sizzling and
cracking thru the crisp November at
mosphere until some Of the Methodists
present felt moved to stop their ears.
Furthermore. Is Morningside - a
Methodist institution. some Of the
brethren up at Ames took their pen in
hand and wrote to President Freeman
at Sioux City.
The Sioux City papers are printing
some very entertaining and instructive
stories Of what has happened since the
team has returned home. President
Freeman is giving daily chapel exhibi-
tons of the wonderful resources OF the
English language-even IN expressing
the deepest and most highly wrought
feelings without once resortinS TO the
use Of a swear word. In fact. he is
taking words permissible for use In
any drawing room weaving them into

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
When baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed a Sec
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him so much good-his old
friend Grape-N Nuts
Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and | can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness 1t has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby
food, but experience with thousands of
babies shows it to be among the hest,
If not entirely the best in use. Being
a scientific preparation of Natures
grains, it is equally effective as a body
and brain builder for grown-ups.

Because a home is in the countryside
cause it is on a farm-is only an added
reason why it should be more up-to-date
and attractive, for those who are fortu-
nate enough to live in the country really
spend more time in their homes than do
those who live in cities.
And it is also true that farm homes and
farm life is daily becoming more and more
attractive. The inside of our house is our
home, so why not make it nice and at
tractiye, homely and cheerful, up-to-date
and modern.

OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD
Combined Efforts on National Tuber-
cuosis Sunday Will Have
Excellent Results.

New York city had more arrests for
violation of the anti-spitting ordinance
in 1909 than any other city in the
United States, having had 2,513, with
2,099 convictions, and $1,936.S0 col
lected in fines. Baltimore comes next
with PA arrests and an equal num-
Der of convictions. Pittsburg is third
in rank, with st. Louis in fourth place.
st. Louis, however, would have been
in second place, if the sanitary police
who enforce the law in that city had
been at work in 1909. In 81 cities out
of so the law was either not enforced
at all or very poorly enforced. OF
the remaining 2S cities, less than one
half of them contributed more than
three-fourths of the arrests for spit
ting and Of the fines collected. On ac-
count Of the fact that National Tuber-
culosis Sunday will be observed on
April "a the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis is calling the attention of clergy
men in all parts of the country to the
advisability of bringing before their
congregation the necessity for better
enforcement of the anti-spitting laws.

Mrs. Smith is lucky. She has kept

the girl has been offered more money
elsewhere she won't leave Mrs. Smith.
The girl does all the washing, scrubs
the floors, does up the lace curtains,
and even washes the bedding. People
wonder why she stays at Mrs. Smiths
and does so much more work than other
girls can be induced to do, until they
learn that Mrs. Smith buys Easy Task

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mantle.
ba, dated March 1S, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal." The recent ad-
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
of trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present $780,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of it's increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
TIE Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi-
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
a great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
ernment gives away in 160 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, former resi-
dent of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels Of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
it; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which l had fax of which | got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
In oats and got 70 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that I had a fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
of American farmers in the Canadian
West is long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now, when splen-
did selections may be made, and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in couple of
years.

Z TITLE maids have quite a variety
= of shapes to choose from when the
time comes for a new hat. Since num-
bers of establishments have sprung
up that specialize on this kind of mill
linery more care and attention is
given to it.
The three pictures shown here are
favorites and are correct in every de-
tail for children's hats. Dropping
briRts, velvet or silk ribbons, small
familiar garden flowers or wild flow
ers remain the best possible choice
when it comes to trimmings.
Little round crowned Milan straws
with dropping brims are trimmed with
plain band of velvet finished with a
bow and ends at the back, or with
two rosettes, one at each side. But
