A VOLCANO THAT
BECAME A LAKE

Unique among the natural wonders
Of America is the lake in Crater
Lake National Park in Oregon, which
is described in a publication entitled
Geological History of Crater Lake
Just issued by the department of the
interior. The traveller who, from the
rocky rim of the lake, looks across
its limpid waters to the cliffs beyond
stands where once the molten lava
of Mount Mazama boiled and seethed
in its efforts to find an outlet, for
I Crater Lake is all that remains of a
great volcano that ages ago reared
its lofty summit high above the crest
Of the Cascade Range
Before the Cascade Range existed
the region now included in the state
of Oregon was a great lava plateau
that extended from the Rocky Noun
tains to the present Coast Range.
Gradually mountain-making forces
became operative; the surface Of the
pleateau was arched and there rose
the great mountain system which Is
now known as the Cascade Range.
With the hardening of the crust the
centers of eruptions became fewer
until they were confined to a few
high mountains that were built up by
the flows of molten lava. In this
way were created Hood, Rainier, and
Mazama from whose sides and lofty
SUBMITS streams of lava poured
across a desolate land, Hood and
Rainier still lift their snowy caps to
the clouds and fling a defiant chal-
lenge to the mountaineer to scale
their steep ice-covered slopes. Ma
zama alone is gone, engulfed in the
earth from which it came. In what
is left of its caldron lies Crater Lake
Mount Mazama In its prime rose to
height of over IA 900 feet above the
sea, Mount Scott, which towers

APENALTY OF AGE

The tendency Of advancing years TO
restrict activity and exercise ID re-
spucnsible for the constipated condition
Of most elderly people. The YEA OF
years impairs the action Of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathaftics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and
one that is recommended 5y physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound OF SIM
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. W. B! Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name OF
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..

Farms for Children.

Perhaps the smallest farms In the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devisedEby Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the International Children's School
Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
Of his diminutive farm, In which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds Of vegetables, and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 1S-inch
path, which he keeps in order; under
his instructor 1t becomes a tiny OBJ

NEW ERA COMING
IN. STOCK RAISING
EXPERlM ENTS IN THIS STATE
WITH GRASS HAS PROVED
y GREAT SUCCESS.
TWO TONS OF HAY ON ACRE
This Is the Average Crop Produced by
Mixture of Seeds That Was Tried
in. Twenty Piedmont Counties OF
South Carolina.
South Carolina.

Columbia.-During the past summer
the United States department of agri-
culture has been quietly conducting
experiments in growing hay for forage
in 20 of the Piedmont counties of the
state. The results have proven SO
successful that they warrant the pre-
diction that the live stock industry i'll
South Carolina will be revolutionized
in the next few years. A mixture OF
seeds, three varieties of grass and
one Of clover, were planted on the
experimental acres.
DR.. w. w. Long, of the United
States bureau of plant industry, Con-
gresham A. F. Lever and G. A. Der
rick, United States farm demonstra-
ton agent in Lexington county, have
been investigating the results of some
Of the experiments with hay as a
forage crop for the Piedmont. Recent
ly they gave out an interesting state
ment.
In all 100 acres were planted, five
in each Of the 20 counties. DR.. Long
said that IS per cent had proved en-
tirely successful. The average yield
per acre is two tons Of hay, for which
an average price of " $50 per ton
has been received. The average cost
of production per acre was $13.S5.
This was under experimental condf.
tons, and, of course, included the ex-
.pense of planting.
The object of the experiments was
to establish the fact that they a be
grown as a successful forage crop in
South Carolina and ultimately to de-
velop the live stock industry.

SCOFFERS
Often Make the Staunehest Converts

The man who SCOTS at an idea or
doctrine which he does not fully un-
derstand has at least the courage to
show where be stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
idea that coffee and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
the matter seriously, often at the sug-
gestion Of a friend, such persons
have found that Postum and a friends
advice have been their salvation.

Ing" writes an Okla. girl. "She suf-
fered with headache until she was al
most untitled for duty.
"Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in a few
days she was entirely free from head

coffee because it contains caffeine, the
same drug found in ~coffee.) "She told
her employer about 1t. and on trying

"My father and l have both suffered

However, we finally quit coffee and
began using Postum. Father has had

relieved to find that a full supply is
