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:
o"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.

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 Sec

since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.

foods, but he will have none of them,

which did him so much good-h'5 old

Han Must Scratch

The Industrious hen is bound to
scratch. If you do not give her room
elsewhere, she will find the garden.
Teach the chick when and where
meals are served, and avoid scatter

tame hen will then be no more of an
annoyance than the wild one-less in
reality because more easily controlled.
While some breeds, as the Plymouth
Rock, submit more readily to handling,
the shyer breeds will readily learn,
and the flock be thereby more easily

NEW THEORY is
RAPIDLY SPREADING
OVER COUNTRY

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
human stomach, which he claims to
prove, with his new medicine, is being
given more respect and comment
every day.
Cooper claims that so per cent. of
all i'll health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: stomach trouble is
the great curse of the Goth century so
far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature, and men and women
worked all day out of doors, digging
their frugal existence from the soil.
the tired, droopy, half-sick people that
are now so common, did not exist.
"To be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of virulent
character, and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
81 know positively that every bit OF
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stomach
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through sed-
entary existence. l further know that
few people can be sick with the diges-
tive apparatus in perfect shape. The
sole reason for my success is because
my New Discovery medicine tones the
stomach up to required strength in
about six weeks time. That is why |
have had more people come and thank
me wherever have gone to introduce
my medicine, than / have had time to
talk with"
Among the immense numbers of peo'
pie who are now strong believers in
Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs.
M. e. Delano, a prominent resident of
the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass.
She says: For several years l was
broken in health, caused primarily by
stomach and nerve troubles. / gradu-
ally became worse, until recently was
compelled to go without solid food for
days at time. l had sour stomach,
palpitation of the nerves of stomach
and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme ner-
vousness. I suffered terribly with in
somnia, and my liver, bowels and
whole system gradually became de-
ranged. / felt instant relief the first
day I began this Cooper medicine. /

'I make this statement wholly from
a sense of duty. feel owe it to any
one who might find relief and renewed
happiness as have DONE"

all druggists. If your druggist cannot

sands of dollars annually through do
ing away with the heavy expense of
labor and cost of material for renew
ais.
That the humble railroad tie is a
most important factor in the material
development of the country is great
truth that is little understood by peo-
pie outside of railroad circles. The
putting engine that speeds at the rate
of mile or more minute over the
country is a slave to the two rails
that insure a smooth and safe road,
and these rails in turn depend on the
old-fashioned wooden cross-t!e which
holds them in place.
a substitute which has induced the
railroads to give up wood, although
experts say that the day will surely
come when the country's forests will
no longer be called upon to supply the
demand for ties. Up to the present
time it seems that no other material
has been found which has the reslll-
ency of wood and which at the same
time causes less wear and tear on the
rails, fastenings, and roadbed.
The country's railroads during the
last two or three years used 100000
900 to 150,000,000 of sawed and hewn
ties a year. The ideal tie timber is
white oak, which combines the quail
tiles of durability, hardness, strength.
and close grain. 1t is not only excel
lent for ties, but is widely used in ship
building, for general construction, In
| cooperage, in the manufacture of car
riages, for agricultural implements, in
| terror finish of houses, and for furnl-
ture. On account of this wide use,
the supply has been greatly reduced
| and some of the railroads have been
forced to pay almost prohibitive prices
for ties, or to substitute other and
cheaper woods to replace the white
oak ties rapidly disappearing from
their lines.
Over 40 per cent. of the ties recently
purchased by the railroads of the
country are oak, according to latest
statistics of United States for
est service. Cross-ties of south
ern pine formed somewhat less
than 25 per cent. Douglas fir
ties ranked third, with approximate
ly ten per cent. of the total.
Cedar, which is very durable, has
been extensively used to take the
place of white oak for ties, but it is so
soft that it is readily cut by the rails.
This necessitates the use of tie plates
and other protective devices when
| cedar ties are used. AS the supply of
cedar is also running short, it is nee
essary for the railroads to seek fur
Their for new tie timber. One OF the
woods which has all the requisites OF
a good tie, with the exception OF dura-
bility, is the beech.
| A beech tie generally consists large
" of sapwood, which partly accounts
| for it's lack of durability, but, on the
other hand, allows thorough and
easy preservative treatment.
