FIELD AND KENNEL

A local sportsman was recently passing

1t is estimated that baby nursed
by its mother has approximately ten
times the chances to live that bottle

therefore, are advised to encourage
mothers to make every effort to carry
out this most important maternal
duty.
A clean milk supply is a fundamen-
tai need The ideal is: Nothing short
of clean milk for everybody. But the
need for the prompt remedy of bad
milk conditions is more urgent in its
relation to the welfare of babies than
to that of adults, since dirty milk is
largely responsible for the occurrence
of diarrhoea and enteritis, the most fire.

The remedy lies in the intelligent and
effective inspection of farms, the

nances governing the sale of dipped"

CRISIS OF The WAR !
Story of the Famous Battle of
Gettysburg, Fought Fifty
Years Ago.
Loss Of LIFE WAS FEARFUL
Both Armies Struggled Bravely, and
the Confederates Were Conquered
Only After Three Days of
Bloody Conflict.

Fifty years ago nearly 10000 Amer.
leans met on the field of Gettysburg,
and for three days fought one of the
greatest battles of history. Gen. Rob-
ert E. Lees army of some $4,000
southerners which had invaded the
north was met there and overcome by
about $4,000 Federal troops under the
command of Gen. George G. Meade,
and the tide of fortune in the Civil
war, which up to then had often ia
vored the south, was turned There
after the Confederacy was on the de-
fensive.
Though the south lost the battle,
there was nothing to choose between
their bravery in the conflict and that
of the northerners. Both armies
fought with valor and stubbornness
and the losses in dead and wounded
were tremendous. o
Commanding the corps of the Union
army were Generals John F. Reynolds,
w. S. Hancock, Daniel F. Sickles,
George Sykes, John Sedgwick, o. o.
Howard and H. w. Slocum. Lees
corps commanders were Generals
James Longstreet, Richard S. Ewell
and A. P. Hill.
Reynolds, sent ahead to feel out the
enemy, arrived at Gettysburg the eve
ming of June 81, and in the fighting
which began early the next day, was
killed. Gen. Abner Doubleday, who
succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Ridge after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi-
ton, SO that the first day of the bat
tie was in reality Confederate vic
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg, and
by next morning the two armies were
confronting each other along a ten
mile line of battle.
Lee ordered Longstreet to turn the
left flank Of the Federal army by TAX
ing Little Round Top, but Sickles de-
Tended that position SO stubbornly
that Longstreet's movement was
checked, Peach Orchard, Cemetery
Hill, Culps Hill and The DEVILS Den
were the scenes of desperate fighting,

A Good Breakfast

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food,

A physician of Portland, Oregon, has
views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such feeling as to my duty
| take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation | have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts and
that | find there is almost no limit to
the great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases of sickness and
convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach especially at break
fast to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work. In
cases of indigestion I know that a
complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and | think it
is necessary not to overload the stom-
ach at the morning meal l also know
the great value Of Grape-Nuts when
the stomach is too weak to digest 9TH
er food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all
manner of chronic and acute diseases,
and the letter is written voluntarily
on nay part without any request for it."

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT
Bag Of Sand. Something Like punch
Ing Bag" Did the Business
Quite Simply.

Noah Spears. a Bay Shore farmer,

ter to the Wilmington (Del) News.
Spears tells the following story: 81
filed stout gunny sack with sand and
suspended 1t from the ceiling in the
rear of the stall by a rope in such a
position behind the horse that its
heels could have good play upon it.
This large pendulum, needing only a
strong power to start it, would swing
with clocklike precision as soon as
the horse began to play its acrobatic
stunts upon it. At the first kick the
bag swung away, only to return with
more force, giving the animal much
more than it had sent. This unexpect-
ed return on the part of the bag caused
the horse to kick harder, but each time
the bag returned harder and paid the
animal with interest. Finally the
horse, realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless, stopped kicking
The bag was allowed to hang in the
same position for an entire week, but
no more use for it was seem"
