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

A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: "I was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until. for
some reason, Indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
after 1 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
good quantity Of rich cream.
''In few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and
began to have a strength that | had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and 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
Eic pains in the chest.
"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast l have been free from these
troubles, except at times when l have

pain under the left shoulder blade. and
unless l needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when I

turbance left very quickly.

PLATFORM OF THE
PROGRESSIVE PARTY
ADvocADTEs POLITICAL, INDUS
TRIAL, COMMERCIAL, SOCIAL
AND TARIFF REFORMS.
RECALL OF JUDICIAL DECISIONS
A Living Wage and the Establish
ment of Minimum Wage Commits
sions by Nation and States
Sound, Elastic Currency.

Chicago.-The platform adopted at
the national convention of the
Progressive party advocates polit-
ical, industrial, agrarian, commercial
and social conservation and tariff re-
forms. 1t is in the form of Con
tract with the people" and was most
ly written by Col. Roosevelt.
The platform opens thus:
"A Covenant With the People,"
'The conscience of the people, in
a time of grave national problems,
has called into being new party,
born of the nations awakened sense
of justice. We of the Progressive
party here dedicate ourselves to the
fulfillment of the duty laid upon us
by our fathers-to maintain that gov
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people, whose foundation
they laid.
This country belongs to the people
who. inhabit it. Its resources, it's
business, it's institutions and it's laws
should be utilized, maintained or al
tered in whatever manner will best
promote the general interest. 1t is
time to set the public welfare in the
first place."
The platform deals with "the old
parties" which it characterizes as
"the tools of corrupt interests which
use them impartially to serve their
selfish purposes.
THE deliberate betrayal of its trust
by the Republican party" it contin-
ues, and 'the fatal incapacity of the
Democratic party to deal with the
new issues of the new time, have
compelled the people to forge new
instrument of government" in the
Progressive party.
A paragraph headed "A Covenant
With the People" says:
"This declaration is our covenant
with the people, and We hereby bind
the party and its candidates in state
and nation to the pledges made here
in"

The mother of little girl named
Marjorie had become greatly interest
ed in domestic economy. Several
courses at fashionable cooking school
had opened her eyes to the fact that
nothing should be wasted. The serT-
ants were daily, almost hourly, adj
monished not to throw away any ma
terial which could be recooked or
hashed or served up in some sort of
edible manner. Of course the child
heard the continual admonitions
against waste so freely given.
Now Marjorie possessed little kit

refused to continue the struggle for
existence, turned up it's paws to the
daisies and died
Marjorie appeared before her moth
er carrying the sad and. doroping re-
mains.

I've found thrown away now! A per-
fectly good kitten!"

tain the judge in a state of sobriety
until after his meeting with Fentress.
The purple of twilight was stealing
over the land when he and his two
companions reached Belle Plain. They
learned that Tom Ware had returned
from Memphis, that the bayou had
been dragged but without results, and
that as yet nothing had been heard
from Darlington or the dogs he had
gone for.
Presently Cavendish and Yancy set
off across the fields. They were going
on to the raft, to Polly and the six lit
tie Cavendishes, whom they had not
seen since early morning, but they
promised to be back at Belle Plain
within an hour.
By very nature an alien, Mahaffy
sought out dark corner on the wide
porch that overlooked the river to
await their return. The house had
been thrown open, and supper was be-
Ing served to whoever cared TO stay
and partake of it. The murmur of idle
purposeless talk drifted out to him;
he was irritated and offended by it.
There was something garish in this in
discriminate hospitality in the very
home of tragedy. AS the moments
slipped by his sense of displeasure in
creased, with mankind in general, with
himself, and with the judge-princi-
pally with the judge-who was to make
a foolish target of himself in the
morning. He was going to give the
man who had wrecked his life chance
to take it as WELL Mahaffy's cold logic
dealt cynically with the preposterous
situation his friend had created.

Unobserved he gained the edge OF

past Boggs' and stole fearful glance
over his shoulder. The sun was clear
of the treetops, he could even feel the
lifeless dust grow warm beneath his
feet; and wrapping the quilt closer
about him he broke into labored run.
Some twenty minutes later Boggs'
came in sight. He experienced a mo-
ment of doubt-doubtless Fentress had
been there and gone! 1t was a hideous
thought and the Judge groaned. Then
at the other end of the meadow near
the woods he distinguished several
men, Fentress and his friends beyond
question. The Judge laughed aloud. In
spite of everything he was keeping
his engagement, he was plucking his
triumph out of the very dregs of fail
ure. The Judge threw himself over the
fence, corner of the quilt caught on
one of the rails; he turned to release
it, and in that instant two pistol shots
rang out sharply in the morning air.
CHAPTER XXXVIII.
Solomon's Last Night.
It had been with no little reluctance
that Solomon Mahaffy accompanied
Yancy and Cavendish to Belle Plain;
he would have preferred to remain in
Price. Intimately acquainted with the
Raleigh in attendance upon Judge
Judges mental processes, he could fol
low all the devious workings Of that
magnificent mind; he could fathom
the simply hellish ingenuity he was
capable of putting forth to accomplish
temporary benefits. Permitting his
thoughts to dwell upon the mingled
strength and weakness which was so
curiously blended in Slocum Prices
character, he had horrid visions of that
great soul, freed from the trammels of
restrain, confiding his melancholy his.
tory to Mr. Pegloe in the hope of boil
STEERING his fallen credit at the City
Tavern.
Always where the judge was con-
cerned he f1uctuated between the ex-
tremes of doubt and confidence. He
felt that under the urgent spur of oc-
casion his friend could rise to any
emergency, while sustained activity
made demands which he could not sat
isfy; then his efforts were discounted
by his insane desire to realize at once
on his opportunities; in his haste he
was for ever plucking unripe fruit:
and though he might keep one eye on
the main chance the other was fixed
just as resolutely on the nearest tav-
ern.
With the great stake which fate had
suddenly introduced into their losing
game, he wished earnestly to believe
that the Judge would stay quietly in
his Office and complete the task he had
set himself; that with this off his
hands the promise of excitement at
Belle Plain would compel his presence
there, when he would pass somewhat
under the restraining influence which
he was determined to exert; in short,
to Solomon, life embraced just the one
vital consideration, which was to main,

Of the press so that the baling cham

Of the shed or barn and ample room
be had for the revolution OF the sweep

Another advantage Of the arrangement
of such a press is that the bale cham

and fed from both stacks without re-
setting the press. The close arrange
ment Of feeding table and sweep will
not allow sufficient space for the
sweep to describe the circle necessary
to operate the press.

that have a high step-oyer. the horses
will generally slow down. hesitate.

DESTROYING GRASSHOPPERS

Reply to Jacob Mathiason, Walnut
Grove. AIinn. please send me by
mail directions for killing grasshop-
pers"
Before attempting to give a remedy
for the grasshopper plague. a few
words in regard to its early stages of
growth will not be out of place In
order for the grasshopper TO multiply
to any extent, the soil in which the
eggs are laid must be undisturbed and
there must be an abundance of food
available The most favorable con
dition for grasshopper development
seems to be found in the alfalfa sec
tions OF the west. Where it is possible,
one Of the best preventive measures is
to cultivate the ground. The soil need
not be disturbed below the first two
inches OF surface. for most Of the
eggs are deposited very shallow. We
fully realize that in many cases this
cannot be done so as to completely
destroy the grasshopper, but where it
is possible to plow and cultivate in the
fall. the number can be greatly de
creased.
There are two ways Of destroy ine
the adult or grown grasshopper One
is by the use of the hopper dozer.
Various forms are in use. but one that
has given very good satisfaction can
be built Of sheet iron. ten or twelve
feet long. and about twenty-six inches
wide. with board across the back,
against which the grasshoppers will
nv and then fall into the bottom OF the
hopper dOzer. The bottom of the hop
per doZer should be made water tight,
so that a quantity OF water may be
poured into 1t. also a small quantity of
kerosene The hopper dozer should be
mounted on low skids or small wheels
and drawn by one or more horses
The grasshoppers will be collected in
the hopper dozer and killed by coming
in contact wiki the kerosene. This
whole structure is rather inexpensive
and has proved very good method of
destroying the grasshopper
The bureau of entomology Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture has recommended a poisoned
bait. which is lnown as the "criddle
miyture." and has given very good
results in some sections. The mix
ture is made as follows:
One-half barrel fresh horse drop
pings, in which is mixed one pound
each Of salt ana paris green. If the
droppings are not fresh. the salt is
dissolved in water and mixed with the
manure ard poison.
Then this mixture is scattered freely
about. whsre the grasshoppers are

for the y inion of Canada ci,es an
instance wfere this poison MIXTURE

field. with tpe result that this portion
stayed green While the grass hoppers

same field The eridile mixture has

A certain young man of tender heart has lost his faith in mankind. Some years ago he did a favor for a friend. who, to show his appreciation, present. ed him with a pipe of meerschaum persuasion, wonderfully and marvel ously wrought and bearing date of a hundred years before The young man treasured this pipe, which was to him a masterpiece. And whenever the blue smoke curled upward from its bowl his heart swelled with the thought of the generosity and goodness of the hu- man race, for he had been told when the pipe was handed to him that a pawnbroker would advance S3 on 1t, thus proving It to be worth at least a ten spot.
