good health Is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child q
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-

DR.. 'Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and

their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. It's tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
DUEL Between PAN AND eAc.
BY Martha McCuIIoch Williams.

BY Martha Mccu''och Williams.
Experience has been M only school
which, perhaps, accounts for the
fact that hold no opinions half
heartedly. Especially about cooking
1t seems to me the finest of fine arts,
all too much misprised, and held a
drudgery instead OF privilege. Pos
sibly this makes me reactionary-a
holder-fast to old methods. Certainly
when Soyer's paper bag cookery was
suggested to me, there was not a
stouter skeptic in all these United
States. Soyer's experience did moth
ing to change my mind. Rather, it
convinced me that paper bag cooking
was one of the things that cost more
thar they come tp. For set myself
this sum. Bags, plus greasing, plus
clips, equal the cost Of many sauce
pans. Furthermore, it is against
sense and reason that the mere put
ting OF food in bag should either
hasten the cooking or better the fla
vor of it. Thus I argued the case
forthrishtiy, but ended by conces-
sion-I would try out paper bags and
! see what should see.
The first bag left me warmly tri-
umphant.
Wisdom ferments like yecst. AS I
acquired it, there was no keeping it
to myself. 1t dripped down upon my
next story neighbor, cook both born
and made. She was interested but
skeptical-less 20 than had been,
Notwithstanding of an open mind. So
when l proposed an experimental
culinary duel, if you please-whose
result was to be decided ~ the scales,
she was ready. even eager to engage
in it.
Each of us bought rib roast-hers
weighing four pounds, mine but three.
To the eye, they were Identical save
in the matter OF size. And our gas
ranges are ove1-brothers, m: lie by ex-
actly the same pattern. Her roast
went into pan, mine into bag. Not

Kernels should be of perfect wedge
shape, narrower or wider at the point,
! according to the variety characteris-
tics.
They should be uniform in shape,
size and color and true to the type or
variety. The crown or big end Of the
kernel should be such that the edges
of the kernels slope from tip to crown.

part attached to the cob and contains

this reason plump tip usually indi-

at the tip. This makes the kernels
corn almost wholly unfit for seed No
machine will plant kernels of this type
so as to get uniform stand.
Kernels with weak or shriveled tips
should be discarded, no matter how
we'll the outside of the ear may look.
At least IS per cent. of the oil in the
kernel is in the germ, hence corn
with we'll formed germs Is desirable
Tests by the Illinois experiment sta.
ton show that the oil in corn may
vary from 2k to TX per cent. and
protein from 6h to 16 per cent. II
seed corn contains a large amount Of
protein and oil the crop grown from
this seed will be high in these desir-
able features.
Standard measurements for corn
produced in northern, middle and
southern Wisconsin, are as follows:
Length, northern section 8 to 9 inches,
central, 81 to ~ inches, southern ~
to az inches. Long ears are objection
able because they usually have poor
butts and tips, shallow kernels and
hence low per cent. of grain to the
ear. In general the circumference
should be three-fourths the length.
The standards for various sections in
Wisconsin are: Northern 6 to 6k
inches, central 612 to inches, south
ern to 71a inches.
The chief reason for distinct meas
urements is to secure uniformity and
com pactness in ears. In scoring one
must not accept ears that are out of
the natural proportion but must be
governed by some uniform standard
The time will arrive In Wisconsin as
it has in some of the older corn

No space between kernels should be

The tip kernels are likely to be finty
and of pop corn shape, which is un'
desirable in dent corn. If bare tips
are noticeable to quite an extent
throughout the field, it may be due tc
the fact that the silks representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
were too late to receive the pollen tc
fertilize them. If ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their un-
desirable characters will soon become
permanent. Open tips usually accom-
pany shallow and irregular kernels on
the ear which makes the kernels on
that part of the ear undesirable for
planting, on account of lack of uni
formity.
In judging the character of the butt
of an ear of corn, the way In which
the rows come over towards the shank
is important. If the corn comes in
too close, the ears may drop off the
stalk during the ripening and not full
ly mature. All ears which have butts
improperly filed should be rejected.
Corn breeders in desiring to get a
large proportion of corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too small an at
tachment for the shank. The butt and
the tip kernels are rejected for plant
ing, because they are more likely to
be mixed with other varieties and
owing to their peculiar formation, they
are not uniform, and interfere in the
planting. They also seem weaker tn

DREADED ATAXIA,
What Active Treatment With
Dr.. Williams Pink Pill
Accomplished in a
Recent Case.

Mr.. Francis M. Poole, q harness max.
er, Of Garvin, Lyon Co., MIMI, says:
MY illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. At
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting moro and moro
severe and grew steadily worse. Later
numbness came over my feet. It
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time 1 had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and /
lost all control of them. At this stage
OF the disease I was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April,
1906, l was confined to the bed. My
memory was so affected that / thought
!! would lose my mind. l looked just

nails were blue. I suffered with ter
nbAe sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use Of morphine.
II was treated by five St. Paul doc
tors. All of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said could
not live year and another told nay
wife all he could do for me was to give
medicine to relieve the pain. I was
discouraged and, when my brother-in-
law urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, / did so willingly
Tor he had read of their curing case
similar to mine. I started to take the
pills in March, 1905, while was still
confined to bed. I took several boxes
when l felt slight change for the bet
ter and had healthier look. was
finally able to go to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
blush color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. took the pills
long time and the next spring in May I
could walk around. In June I went to
work although still weak. I kept on
gaining and am now working without
the return of a symptom of my former
trouble and without losing a days
work. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People absolutely cured me and
