ADRIANOPLE.

Turkey will insist on retaining Adrianople and
Thrace, her spois of the latest war in the Near
East. Why not? Bulgaria was to have had Thrace
and the ancient sacred city; but Bugarias claim was
that she had conquered them, and that she would
administer them in humane and Christian manner.
Now it has been proved that Bulgaria could not hold
them, and further, that she was incapable of admin
istering them even So humanely as Turkey did.
Perhaps in all the circumstances, for Turkey to
retain Adranople is rather the best settlement. 1t
will save Turkeys face and feelings, and possibly
contribute to make permanent peace between her and
her civilized neighbors the easier Certainly Bull
gara has lost all possible claims to consideration

WONDER OF THE DEEP FURROW.

Out in Kansas, where prosperity is almost synon-
ymous with wheat, they talking of the wonderful
results of some experiments conducted by the State
Agricultural College to demonstrate the results Of
deep and early blowing Here are these results, as
obtained from one-acre lots of soil of the same kind
Plowed September Is, inches deep. .16 bushels
July Is, inches deep. .............. % bushels
August 15 Z inches deep. .......... .33 bushels
July 15 Z inches deep. p............. .35 bushels
The lots were continuously used for wheat. On
land where crops were rotated the difference was
much less, particularly if it received deep and
thorough blowing once in three years. No fertilizer
was used in the preparation of the soil.
The old lesson of promptness and 'horoughness
in work is good one to learn if not all. 4dy learned

farmers there is no reason why it should not be
serviceable to farmers in other States as we'll The

CUBS FOOD

Healthy babies don't cry and the
welI-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well
My baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which l had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so 1 got some and prepared 1t as
follows: 1 soaked IL tablespoonful
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then 1 strained of the liquid and
mixed II teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put IN pinchof salt and
a little sugar, warmed it and gave 1t
to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way l saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
