PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

This condition kept getting worse and

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

| A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience

opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my familys
everyday life.
'It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled US to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unWholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
CAS- to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isles the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none Of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow

To Lauan at tuberculosis.

Much ignorance prevails among the
unfortunate victims of tuberculosis
and families of these unfortunates, &C
cording to the Los Angeles Herald.
For such as these the words spoken
by Adolphus KRopf should be chiseled
in imperishable granite. Or, better
still, they should be punished in ev-
cry public print, viz: There is no
such thing as hereritary tuberculosis.
The remedy Is simple and all should
know it. 1t is one Of the most easily
durable of all the chronic infectious
diseases. You can cure consumption
by the unstinted use of Gods good
fresh air, twenty-four hours in twenty
four, plenty of good food and plenty
of good water, inside and out. You
all know that cleanliness is next to
goodness. Children should get all
the fresh air possible. They should
sleep and play in the open air. They
should attend open air schools"

LOG DRAG is VERY USEFUL
Greatest Invention of the Age and has
Great Value in Its Power to
Move Dirt on Roads.

The log drag, simple as it is, is the
greatest invention of the age, counting
the amount of good that can be done
with it at so small a cost. Probably
the next best tool to the drag for dirt
roads is the eommon field harrow.
The great value of the road drag,
especially the one with cutting
blade, is in it's power of moving dirt
and grading as well as surfacing and
compacting the road. Either with dry
dirt or with mud, two teams to good
drag can push more dirt to the center
of road than can possibly be done
with any other tool When once
graded a perfect road grade can easily
be maintained with the use of the
drag.

shape with native material at hand

BRIGHT PARAsoLs AND SHOES

THE SCHOOLMA'AM GIRL
By MICHAEL ]. PORTER


Gideon Rush noticed the girl before
they reached Chicago. though he was
shy, hard-working young man who
had really noticed few women in his
day.
But even Gideon could be pardoned
for looking again at the 'schoolma am
girl" as he quantity nicknamed her.
None but a school teacher would
have that air and that pencil. And
she was so young and SO good TO
look at that Gideon was reminded OF
little girls who played at various
games, like keeping house, and going
visiting, and teaching school. She
was a school teacher; and yet tie
title wasn't distinctive enough 1t
did not classify her. She was all girl,
too-young aud sweet and happy. So
"school-ma'am girl it was.
Gideon, who was going out to Ore
gon to grow apples. saw that the
school-ma'am girl had a ticket much
like his oWp-a green one as long as
his arm.
Was she going west, too, maybe to
Oregon? But no; that was lmpossl-

where she would change to one of the
other hundred trains that shuttled
away in every direction.
1t was dark when they rumbled
into the bedlam called Chicago. She
seemed so little and alone and grave
some of her bright cheerfulness
had departed-that Gideon said re-
gretful farewell with his eyes. And
she answered the same way.
Gideon hurried into the sticky mid
summer night, because everyone else
was hurrying; found modest res
taurant in the glare and clatter; hur.
ried through a meal and trotted back
to the great station as the uniformed
man at the gate was bawling his
train.
He found his tourist sleeper. Half.
way down the aisle he paused. de

MAKING PROFIT IN PEANUTS
Answer for Goobers-ShouId BE
Used in Rotation.

Any soil that will raise good corn
will raise peanuts, but the best results
are obtained from light, sandy soils.
If planted in heavy soils the nuts are
sometimes stunted Peanuts should
not be planted on the same soil year
after year, but should be used in ro-
tation
1t is better to manure the land in
the fall and pillow it with disk and
harrow thoroughly the next spring.
Make the seed bed as fine as garden
bed. Plant the seeds in rows about
two and one-hRf feet apart
The crop is harvested by means OF
forks, the plants being lifted out of
the ground and the dirt taken from
the COOLERS and the vines thrown in
heap. Five or six rows can be
placed In one winrow. The vines are
then shocked around pole thrust into
the ground and cross pieces should be
nailed to the poles and the vines piled
up lightly to provide circulation OF
air. Boards or straw should be laid on

not touch the soil
The nuts must be allowed to sit in
the shock until thoroughly cured.
They can then be taken to the barn
where the nuts are picked by hand or
they can be picked in the field if the
weather is fine. There are machines
for threshing peanuts, but these are
not used except when large crops are
grown.
Peanuts are easy to grow and make
profitable crop. They are sold
mostly to roasters who prepare them
for eating, although large amount Of
peanut oil is made every year as a
substitute for olive oil. Peanut butter
is also coming into favor and large
quantities of nuts are sold for this

Button Hints.

To sew buttons onto garments so
that they will last a long time, thread
the needle with strong linen thread,
double it and twist 1t by keeping the
knot between the teeth and turning
the needle round between your fin
gers, then draw the thread through a
piece of beeswax or a candle. This
is the tailor's method; the button will
hold on as long as the fabric holds to-
gether.
In sewing on buttons place a pin
between the button and the material
and then sew on in the usual way,
afterward pulling out the pin. The
button is then not drawn tight to the
fabric, so that in fastening it it goes
through the buttonhole without drag
ging at the fabric.
