all human ailments. A disordered
stomach will sooner or later cause
disorders in other parts of the body.
If you are now suffering from even
slight ailment, be wise and take heed
of' such warnings, as they are only
the advance guard Of more serious
troubles.
Get a box of Gastrinox, If you are
suffering from any stomach ailments
such as heartburn, gastritis, sour
stomach, belching of wind, gas on
stomach, headache, bad breath, pain
in pit of stomach, gulping of sour
matter, and all troubles arising from
indigestion or fermentation of food.
This preparation is not harmful to
the most delicate stomach. A large

ORIGIN OF INDIAN RUNNERS
Came From West indies and Arc
Thought by Many People to Be
Most Profitable Of Duck Family.

(Dy ANNA GALLAGHER, Ohio.)
It is only comparatively few years
since the Indian Runner ducks made
their appearance in America. They
came originally from the West In.
dies, where they have been raised for
years, chiefly as egg-producers. They
derive their name from their native
land and racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white,
with yellow shanks and light-green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black.

The Indian Runner is rather small,
fully matured ducks weighing from
four to five pounds. brakes from five
to six pounds, live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise. What
they lack in weight Is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Much a. They Require-Don't

(By w. F. PARRISH)
When winter comes and the ground
freezes, or is covered with snow a good
deal Of the time. grit must be sup.
piled. Gravel or grit should be sharp.
so as to both cut and grind. Smooth
pieces Of gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from a pit will
make one of the best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit is helpful. but It will not
answer for exclusive use. not being
sharp nor coarse enough.
If you prefer, you can buy prepared
grit from the dealers in poultry sup.
plies. A good many people do this
and q good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining grit. The hens need
some Of the oyster shells, az they sup
ply the system with lime and car
Donates, but they will not take the
place Of grit. They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep well filled grit boxes where
the hens can run to them at will dur
ing the winter months and you will
find that they consume quite lot Of
the material in . months time. Pro.
viding the grit In boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves IL the best
way Of feeding It. They will then use
a. much a. Is necessary for their
health. a. they are the best judges Of
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.

be needed for the health Of the birds,
Il would be Ill right to mix the grit
With the feed. But since We do not
know this, We would best not force
sEit upon them - We would b doing
