was there All Souls day and saw the
people burning candles and telling their
beads. The cemetery is not at all like
you have in North America. There are
a great many tombs that are just little
one-room houses; some are buried in the
ground with the house over them, and
some have shelves all around the sides.
The people are usually buried in some
other place for a year, then their bones
are put i'm little marble boxes about two
feet long and these boxes are put on the
shelves. OF course the large tombs be-
long to families who are able to have
things as they want them. That sort
is permanent. but there are many tenn
porary graves. In one section of the
cemetery they Inter he dead as you do
at home, however one man cannot buy
a lot and use il as he sees fit. There
are graves kept open and ready all the
time and when a person who has no
large tomb dies he must have bought
for him the grave next in number to the
last one filled. The only tombstone that
can be used at that sort of grave is
square of cement, and the number is the
only Inscription on il. If relatives want

may do so and put him in a permanent
tomb. or he may stay there as long as

into the common pit, which is a large
square hole in the ground. All graves
for which YOU pay rent are called tenn

you of one more today. Along the GEM

have demonstrated to my satisfaction
during the past year, that alfalfa ex-
cells clover both as a green food for
growing chicks, and a winter relish for
adult fowls.
We have a field of ten acres sown to
alfalfa stretching just below the colony
coops and pens where 1 raise my chicks.
A year ago last summer / noticed that
as soon as 1 gave the chicks free range
they would seek this field and spend
hours in the growing alfalfa, particularly
when it blossomed ready for cutting.
BY close observation l found that they
ate the tender tops and purple buds raw
enously and certainly seemed to thrive
on the food.
T tried sowing some seed in my nursery
pen, and it was wonderful to see how
the chicks enjoyed it-wee, fluffy fell
lows just from the incubator. This set
me to thinking.
When last winter came on / housed 100
pure Buff Cochin pullets in fairly
rocmy and comfortable house. The large
hay barn was stored to the roof with al
falfa and millet hay. From theformer
the leaves and dried blossoms, still
green in hue, fell in masses of fine fra
grant litter, useless to the cattle and
horses which only ate the bulkier stems.
All winter long used this alfalfa CHAIR
for litter in my houses, bedding the floor
deep every day. The hens scratched
in it for their grain and ate every avail
able Bit they could pick up.
BY night the floor would be bare and a
fresh supply was thrown in ready for
the morning meal.
My hens have always done well as win
ter layers, but last season they outdid
themselves and made a record which Is
the wonder and envy of all my neighbors.
1 give the credit to alfalfa, especial
ly as some close neighbors with warm
err houses-one of them heated-who
bought patent egg-making foods pro-
tein and blood meal in large quantities.

'Tt has been very beneficial to me and

For five years I was not able to do

Cardui is prepared from the natural
plant. not from mineral, synthetic COM
pounds, and contains no coal tar products
or other results of laboratory expert
ments.
The Cardui ingredients are imported
at great expense directly from abroad
and have been used for nearly half a
century in the manufacture of this IA

Safe, reliable, prompt, yet gentle in
action, by preventing unnecessary pain
and building up strength, Cardui has
shown itself a necessary remedy for weak
