THE FAITHFUL MINSTREL


Have you ever heard the story
of how the lost King Richard the
Lion Hearted, of England, was
found in Germany? Well, listen!
When this brave king was on
his way home from the wards in
the Holy Land his ship was
wrecked in the Gulf of Venice. He
was cast ashore. and started to
make his way home overland. On
his way he trespassed on the land
belonging to his enemy, the duke
of Austria, who, finding that thu
king was resting in a house on his
property, took him prisoner. The
king was sent to a lonely castle in
the mountains, and a strong guard
of soldiers placed about him.
King Richard had always been
fond of music, and with the help
of his beloved minstrel Blondel
had composed a song which the
two often sang together. When
this minstrel heard that his be-
loved king was in prison he set
out to find him. He wandered for
days through Germany, but no
trace of the king could he find,
though he stopped and questioned
at every castle.
One night after the sun had set
he came upon a lonely castle in q

Dear Miss Grey:
Is olive oil good for indigestion?
What is Its medical value?
READER.
A.: It Is a pure and wholesome
food. Its food value is high and
it should be taken in quantities of
one to two tablespoonful at a
meal. It stimulates intestinal &C
tivity to a slight degree. 1t inter-
feres with a slow digestion, but
agrees perfectly with one suffer-
ing from acid dyspepsia and heart
burn.

thereby mourning criticism from
friends of the recent and present
administrations, who denied the
charges of extravaganza.
What have these apologists to
offer in the face of the direct charge
by Senator Aldrich that one dollar
out of every three appropriated by
congress is simply thrown away?
The American people are pard-
onably suspicious of the Aldrich COM
mission plan of economizing. They
cannot believe that any good thing
for the poor man could emanate
from the Aldrich mind. And it is
woefully apparent that existing
abuses exist, not because congress is
ignorant, but because congress does
not care to correct them.
Perhaps little less legal talent
and little more business ability in
cabinet might help solve the problem.

agents for years received as d
rewad large part of the money re-
covered. The system was. bad. 1t

Agent Parr for uncovcring the

official, who was beyond reach of

merit promotion because of his valu-

arguments in favor of all-grain
farming are not enthusiastically

Hogs should be very proftably

With hogs at cents this means

considerably more here. likely $50

more alfalfa per acre.
Now as to winter feeding. they
also find that hogs fed alfalfa with
grain, made rs per cent larger gains

we can make big gains by feeding
