DOGS FOR FARM WORK
AS VALUABLE AS TRUSTY HIRED
MEN, SAYS WRITER.
American AgricuIturists Have Not Suf-
ficientIy Appreciated Their Wide
Usefulness, Though 1t Is Rec
oqnized In Europe.

In England and Scotland farmers
learned long ago the value of dogs
to farm work. There the universal Gus
tom is to have dogs daily do their
part the same as trusty hired men.
Here in America, however, few farm
ers know the value of well-trained
dog. We are the losers because Of
this fact We will learn, of course,
in years to come; and working dogs
that are daily help will replace the
countless farm help insists now i'm
posing on the farmers generosity.
1t once happened that the owner of
some sheep dogs worked them back
and forth among f1ocks Of sheep at
the same place where many farmers
were assembled in convention. The
farmers witnessed the work the dogs
were doing as the sheep were moved
from barns to pasture, through pens,
gates and lanes. They were amazed
to find them 80 helpful and wondered
at their intelligence. They saw them
go quietly around the edges of pas
ture and gather in the sheep from
far away, while the owner waited at
the gate. They saw them herd the
sheep along the lanes, doing work two
men could not have done. And they
profited by what they saw.
They began to believe that the USE
full dog will eventually be on most
American farms, when we get to
studying more carefully for ways and
may be on some large estates many
different men are employed, thereby
leaving little opportunity for anyone
to train dog. But on the average
farm this is not the case.
Any farmer tired from hard days
toll would praise the faithful dog that
would go the mile or two into the
pasture to bring in the cows while he
prepared the feed for them.
No reference is made to the dog We
find on many farms that knows only
enough to run and snap at stock,
driving them in whatever direction
they care to go. Such dog is OF
little value, for he drives the stock
away as often as he brings them back
to the pen they have left. Such dog
might have developed into good one.
1t was the fault of the master that he
was never trained. Let no man for
get how important it Is to have his
dog well trained and carefully edu-
Gated to do his bidding. The green
unframed dog is like the unbroken colt
or the new hired man Neither is
good as real helper until taught to

HOW MANY OF US
Fall to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off AiIments2

A KY. lady, speaking about. food,
says: II was accustomed to eating
all kinds Of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After l had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces
sity of some change in my diet, and
l discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity Of rich cream.
I'm a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and
began to have a strength that I had
never been possessed of before,
yigor of body and a poise Of mind that
amazed me- 1t was entirely new in
my experience.
MY former attacks Of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis,
tressing with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast | have been free from these
troubles, except at times when l have
INDUCED in rich. greasy foods in guam
tity. then l would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless I needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when I
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated l returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis
turbance left very quickly.
II am now in prime health as
result of my use of Grape-Nuts" Name

ECZEMA BEGAN BY ITCHING

Goldsboro, N. C.-"My daughter SUI
fered from eczema The trouble be-
gan in the ears by itching and run
ming water, and later 1t formed pus
and became very offensive. She began
to scratch it and 1t went into sores.
When the scabs came off there was
q yellowish watery discharge. The
outside Of the ear was one solid sore.
She tried several different remedies
but received no relief. She had been
troubled with it between one and two
years when she finally began using
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
"She had not made but two treat
ments when all the scabs came off and
the flesh Just looked very red and
dry. She kept up the treatment four
or FIVE weeks and she was entirely
cured. It also cured other sores on
the children, especially chapped feet
on one of the little boys" (Signed)

Depraved BenevoIence.

Zone of the queerest old human
freaks in New York shows up around
the police station whenever there Is a
report of runaway boys in town." said
a policeman. His purpose would not
be exactly approved by the Bible So
cieties. He does not want to lecture
the boys or send them home or i'm
prove their morals in any way. He
simply wants to crafty their thwart-
ed ambition and show them Coney
island and the Bowery before they are
yanked back home by angry parents.
That Is what most Of them run away
for-to see Coney island and the Bow
ery-and this old codger argues that
any boy who has grit enough to stand
the hardships of a stolen ride to New.
York ought to be allowed to see those
places. His benevolence isn't all
wind, either. He is willing to foot the
bills if the boys will be allowed to go;
but very few Of them are. That Is
what breaks the old gentleman's
heart. He lays aside a small sum Of
money each year for this peculiar
charity"

America. Athletic Missionaries.

Writing under this title in Harper's

scribes our athletic triumph at Stock

idea of the caliber of the athletes and
the competition can be gained from
the fact that thirteen new Olympic
and nine worlds records were estab-
lished during the games. The victory
of Arnold Jackson of Oxford in the
1,500-meter run was the only feature
that redeemed England's poor dis

Hot Weather Drink.

Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter

water as a more sensible drink for hot

tiers, sirups, acids, gulped at the mar

his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require a teacupful and half Of well
washed pearl barley. four Jumps Of
sugar and the thin rind and juice Of
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
it, cover with a saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into Jug
A buttermilk fan adds:
Then set the jug in cool place
and forget it."
