WENT BACK ON THE SHELVES
Growing Insult to His Beloved Books
Was More Than the Professor
Could Stand.

Perhaps the bitterest moment in the
life OF a lover OF books is when he
finds that his treasures are valued by
no one but himself. The late Prof
Churton Collins once tried to weed
out his books, after he had become
convinced that either the surplus or
their owner would have to move out
of the library.
The wedding was q painful process,
but at last the secondhand bOok-deal-
er was invited to name his price for
the upTooted weeds They're no
good TO me-" was the disconcertinE re
ply.
What, none Of them"
NO, not one
Some one suggested that as the
books had to go, the dealer had bet
ter have them for nothing. 1t was q
bitter moment for MI Collins, but
finally he assented- The man then re
marked:
''That'n be half a dollar"
What do you mean? What for?'
exclaimed the victim in a restrained
tone Of voice.
ITO take them away" said the man
That was too much for Mr. Collins
The dealer was driven forth with OBJ
iurgatlons, after which, with q sigh oil
relief, the owner replaced the books
upon his Satisfactorily Companion

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED

cure that the Cuticura Soap and Oint-

A MESSAGE TO KANSAS WOMEN

I pity the woman who does not en-
joy her home OF the doing Of the work
that is entailed in it. There is not
task, however lowly connected with
the home, that 1 do not enjoy doing
and that does not bring large de-
gree of satisfaction in doing it well,
but I must confess that consciously
knowing how, is largely responsible
for this pleasure. We may not all
need to go to a college to learn how
as I did, but if we do not know now,
let US study from every available
source and get somehow or other that
pleasure and satisfaction that comes
from the mastery of things. Let US
one and all take the advice given so
long ago when the prophet said,
Study to show myself approved, a
workman in whom none need be
ashamed, rightly dividing the truth. %
For myself there is no profession on
earth that IS so attractive to me as
that of the home maker; it is my
work and in it I find myself most
happy.

modern conveniences and the eonser-

dressed goods always on hand when
promised, there should be a mighty
good road and a short one between
the farm and the station. A good
road and a short haul saves time,
money and worry.
On the farm itself, the size, shape,
soil, air and water, drainage, water
supply, slope and protection should
be considered. The size of the farm
depends upon the size of the business
one wants to do. Five hundred hens
is the most that should be allowed
per acre Another acre viii be need
ed on which to raise the young stock.
Even at this limit it viii be found
difficult to keep the pastures green.
The amount of land needed beyond
this depends upon whether one wants
to raise the feed or buy it.
While the soil should be fertile
enough to raise green feed, it must
be open enough to drain quickly and
easily. Damp yards are cold and
muddy. They make cold and dirty

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without it.

A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall I began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then 1 have not had any indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
''Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
| indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where want a food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
81 always find the results look for
when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co.,
| Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy
digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find
In the first place, the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes OF cooking, to per
fectly change the starch into dextrose
! or grape-sugar, in which state It Is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
| blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
/ which Nature can make use Of for re-
/ building brain and nerve centers are
] retained in this remarkable food, and
/ thus the human body is supplied with
/ the powerful strength producers, so
easily noticed after one has eaten
! Grape-Nuts each day for a week or
ten days.
There's a reason and it is ex-
planned in the little book, ''The Road
to Wellville," in pkgs

farming is a business full of details
that must be looked after constantly
All that can be, should be eliminated
by such an arrangement that the

In the houses thems elves there are

The First Consideration.

At St Andrews some years ago an
old farmer and his plowman were
carting sand from the seashore- They
were behind the target on the rife
range, but hidden by a bank OF sand

The best way to test a COW is to
keep a record Of the amount of milk

done by ruling a sheet of paper for
the records or sending to the dairy

thia sheet on the wall in the barn,
