HABIT-FORMING TRUTH
TO REMEMBER

One out of every so in
individuals in the country is
addicted to drugs.
Among the habit forming
agents are many soothing
syrups. These medicines
frequently contain opium,
morphine, chloroform, or
carbohydrate. Mothers who
give their babies these drug
ged syrups endangers the ba-
bies' lives.
Over rs "soft-drinks" are
in the market. One-fourth
of them contain the extract
of coco leaf, the active prin-
ciple of which is cocaine.
In the last year there
were 100000 ounces of
habit-forming drugs used in
this country.

The Children of Egypt.
These stories seem vivid as one trav-
els through Egypt. 1 went down the
other day to the banks of the Nile
where the little baby Moses is said 70
have lain in the bulrushtes in his boat
of papyrus, and as l stood by the Obe-
Hsk al Heliopolis I was reminded OF
the virgin and the Saviour by a young
girl who had a babe in her arms. She
must have been about the same age
that Mary was then, and the little one
laughed and crowed as she rested
there under the tropical sun At the
same time a score of other children
ranging in age from two to II years
gathered around me and posed for my
camera with the obeliSk behind. The
obelisk was undoubtedly there when
our Saviour was carried through
Egypt. ana it was erected long before
Moses was found in the bulrushes over
there on the banks of the Nile not far
away. The great stone seemed TO tie
the past and the present together, and
the little ones of today brought back
those of the times of the Saviour.
The children were glad to pose for
me, but as I snapped the camera they
rushed to the front with hands out
stretched for baksheesh. I was at a
loss how to fee so many, and finally
gave 20 cents to my cOachman and left
him to fight it out with the babies
The little ones mobed him and he had
to threaten them with his carriage
whip to keep them away He finally
ended the trouble by giving each two

each received little more than one

the desert. The railroad from Cairo
to the Suez canal goes directly
through Goshen It strikes the canal
at Ismalia and then branches off north
and south, running along the line OF
the canal to Suez on the Red sea, and
to Port Said on the Mediterranean The

Good Forage Crop.

Canada peas and oats is a favorite
forage crop with many New York
state farmers. The crop may be sown
from early spring to the middle of
May. BY making sowings at intervals
of two weeks, a succession of crops
may be had The common rate of
sowing Is " bushels of each per acre.
The peas are usually scattered broad
cast on disked or narrowed ground,
and then turned under about three or
four inches deep. The ground is then
narrowed and the oats drilled a few
days later. The land may first be
prepared and each crop drilled sep
arately, but this is not usually as sat
isfactory as the other method. Peas
and oats are good for hay or to cut
and feed green. When the oats are
heading and the peas blossoming one
may begin to cut for green feed. For
hay the oats should be in the milk
stage, and the peas should have we'll
formed pods. Peas and oats can also
be pastured to advantage with hogs
This crop will give yield of five to
seven tons per acre Of green weight.

The first and most important point

of accomplishment would sound like

obey the first symptom of fatigue. No
matter how important the work on
which she is ged-unless, of
course, she is giving the baby bath
she desists from her employment the

often with closed eyes, for fifteen

mended. If the trees are we'll branched
and of medium to large grades the
side branches should be cut back TO
about three-inch stubs, rather than
cutting the trees to a whip, as the
buds on the we'll developed side
branches are usually stronger than
the buds on the trunk and will make
a better start.
The lighter grades of trees with
only these side branches will of neces-
sity be pruned to whips.
All injured and broken roots should
be cut smooth TO insure better healing
of the wounds. Peach trees grown
upon deep soils sometimes have tap
roots, and these can be cut back to
six or eight inches without injuring
the trees and it makes the setting
much easier
1t is a good plan to dip the roots

Set the trees Is feet apart each way.
The ground should be prepared as
thoroughly as for a cut crop. The
outside rows should be of sufficient
distance away from any fence so that
the operations of cutting and spraying
can be carried on after the trees are
full grown. Use marking places when
blowing the furrow and run the fur
rows in perfectly straight line north
and south Make the burrows wide
and deep by going across the field and
back, blowing twice for each furrow.
Check furrow east and west and set
a tree at each intersection.
A proper place should be shoveled
out for the roots Of the tree; one man
should then hold the tree in place
while the other shovels in some of the
loose, moist surface soil. firming it
with his feet and hands and carefully
keeping the tree in line both ways.
The last one or two shovelfuls of soil
should be thrown about the tree loose

The trees should be set at a suffl-

the trees are budded just below the
surface.

DYSPEPSIA AS TIME SAVER

Who Has TO Work.

One has so much more time on
ones hands when ones appetite is
bad than when it is not Eating does
not take up much time apparently,
and yet when one is eating nothing
the days are so long and so much
gets itself done. OF course, one does
not waste any time in being hungry;
there is that to be thought of. one
does not for three-quarters Of an hour
before each meal prowl around ex'

feels fearfully one to me. | think on
the whole you better give me a but
tered roll" There is that three-quar-
tiers of an hour saved. Then there is
the actual time. of eating which is
sometimes unconscionably long, as
well as ali the time one would spend
in digesting if one had eaten anything
worth digesting. Added to this there
are a number of odd minutes picked
UP during the afternoon which would
otherwise have been spent In regret

gether, dyspepsia is as efficacious
time saver as anything at the moment

to help out tremendously; but it does
not, for IL one loses three hours sleep
at night one takes up IA waking
hours in explaining what a martyr one
is, giving a minute description of how
sleepy one feels. and this, combined
with one or two little maps one has
to take, wastes time shockingly. All

vincing people that one was awake

one did not hear a single clock strike
