Puritas Distilled Water
For HeaIthful Drinking
A Real Luxury That Is So Inex-
pensive That All Can
Enjoy 1t

Pure drinking water is real lux
ury. And many people think of it as
a luxury they cannot afford.
AS a matter of eact, it is most in
expensive. Five gallons of Puritas
Distilled Water cost but 4Oc.
What the regular use of Puritas may
save you, it Is quite impossible to say,
for in impure water lurk the disease
germs that cause illness. And illness
eats up money very fast. as most Of
us know.
Natural waters in Southern Califor-
mia are, in most instances, not pure.
They have not only the usual Vege-
table impurities, but they are strongly
impregnated with minerals which are
entirely dissolved ia the water.
No filter or other mechanical device
will free water from minerals thus held
in solution. They are taken into the
system when the water is consumed,
and the body cannot assimilate them.
Instead they are deposited in the ar
TERESA fertile cause of rheumatic and
kidney troubles.
There are no minerals-or impurities
Of any kind-in Puritas Distilled Wa
ter. 1t is absolutely pure and soft
the healthful drinking water for every
member of the family.
We distill it twice; we aerate it with
pure ozone. We bottle it in clean glass
demijohns, 80 carefully that it reaches
you with all it's wholesome purity in
tact.
Delivered within the old city boun-
dary lines, the price of Puritas is but
4Oc for five gallons At points farther
out the price is trifle more. Regular
Puritas customers purchase Coupon

hoIstein. .Frieslan.

There is no question but the Holstein-
Friesian cattle are a valuable acquisition
to the stock industry of our state. They
are large, are thrifty, and are productive
of both milk and stock. No breed has
ever been brought into the state that has
so quickly dropped into the general
favor of their owners as has this breed.
They are eminently dairy breed, and in
that respect meet the favor of our farm
ers at the present time in marked de-
gree. Our state is we'll adapted to the
dairy business. We want milk, and want
it in quantity. At no time in the future
will this want be less general than is
now the case. The Holstein cow is .
liberal mixer, and therefore well suited
to the present demand.
In addition to her milk production the
Holstein COW is also specially valuable
for her offspring. Young HOlsteins are
specially heavy when dropped, and they
make rapid gain when young. This is .
consideration which gives them special
value. 1t is known by all that young
animals grow faster and make more
rapid gain on given food ration than at
an older age. This gives more growth
on a given measure of feed than Is the
case with animals Of other breeds at an
early aye. 1t is now well known that q
large number of beef animals are slaugh-
tered before reaching three years of age.
Heavy weights therefore at one and two
years give special value to stock.
This same characteristic OF early ma
turity holds good with veal calves of this
breed. There is no breed that will give
heavier weights at vealiag age than
will the Holsteins. When therefore all
these characteristics are taken into con-
sideration they give marked value TO
this breed of stock.-Z. A. Gilbert in

Care of Farm Implements.

One of the most serious leaks on the
farm is in the poor care taken OF farm
implements when not In use. As soon
AZ the season is over, binders and other
machinery no longer needed this year,

and dirt should be removed from the
bearings and these should be carefully
oiled and all bright parts creased, to pre-
vent rusting. Preparations should oe

Damages for Young Growth.

In An action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills National Forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River and Northwestern Railroad, the
iury has awarded damages 10 the Gov
ernment not only for the loss OF mer-
ehantable timber but also for the de-
siructiou of unmerchantable young
growth.
This is regarded by Government Of
ficials as establishing very important
precedent. So far as is known at the U.
5. Department of Agriculture, it Is the
first time that any court has recognized
what foresters call the expectation
value" of young growth as furnishing a
basis for the award Of damages. The
difficulty in the way of such an award In
the past has been that there was no way
to proye TO the satisfaction of the courts
the money value of the loss suffered.
The award in the South Dakota case
followed the presentation OF evidence as
to the cost of work in reforesting whicn
the Government is actually doing IN tue
Black Hills. The amount claimed Tor
the Young growth burned was Sl2 an
acre. and the claim under this item was
allowed in full by the jury. The totsi
amount of damages claimed was s3,-
72s IS, of which s2,634.45 was for mer,
chsntable timber destroyed or injured
by the fire. ...
Ii is recognized by foresters that the
cost of artificial reforestation will not
ALWAYS furnish a fair basis for est'ma''
ing the damage to forest reproduction
Where new growth can be expected oy
natural sowing from seed-trees on the
ground, within a short time, artincia
planting or sowing is an unnecessarily
expensive method. To meet such cases
what are Known as 'yield tables" are
being prepared. By the use of these tht
loss can be shown in terms OF the ma
crop and the time necessary to produce u
Thus. II IL is known that ten Thousand
feet of timber per acre can be cut once II
seventy years, it is easy to calculate TIT
value of the crop when it is ten years
old by discounting from Its value wher
mature. In European countries WHERE
Forestry has been long practiced thii
method is regularly applied in selling
ooudemning, or estimating damages OF
forest property. II is also used aoroae
in insurance, which would DO imprac
tioable If there were not both an accept
sd basis for determining the loss sunel
sd and a reasonably accurate know'eoe'
of the hazard involved.
