Their MESSAGE.

The evening callers were chatting
with their hosts when there came a
patter of little feet along the hall.
Hush whispered the hostess,
raising her hand; "the children are
coming with their goodnight message.

erence to hear them. They are so
much nearer to heaven than we, and

but they have studied feed rations,

fathers a decade ago. They are also
able to enforce the sanitary methods

who still cut their grass fields. and
particularly wet meadows, still use

work is all done by young girls.
Many farmers still use the horse

When man has suffered from dys-

trouble he may be excused for saying
1T acts like magic"
When 1t is simple, wholesome

Der of 30 called remedies in the form
Of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though a sort of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight Of re-
stored digestion, puts 1t in this way:
Like magic, fittingly describes the
manner In which Grape-Nuts relieved
me of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss Of appetite. of many years

II tried about every medicine that

new slogan, Stay on the farm" with
out radical methods.
In eastern Pennsylvania, the sum-
mer season always brings along a
scarcity of farm help. and here the
Queen of the Household has during
a number of years solved the difficult
labor questions. A famous woman
lawyer once said, that woman de-
mands the right to work at whatever
she pleases, and that she also has the
right to compete with the stronger
sex in all branches of work: because
she was the original worker on this
earth. ever since the human race
sprung into existence. and that since
this period she has been able to
make her own living and that of her
offspring"
Not on this theory alone. but on DC
count of the fact that the wives ard
daughters of the Sturdy farm
ers in this state. love to do
manual work. at periods when the
kitchen drudgeries allow her to step
into the open air and take part in
work that her husband, and her broth
er is accustomed to do.
With modern farming methods in
troduced by improved machinery,
women can do a great many things
on the farm, which might otherwise
prove a burden. In those sections 1t
is not only the wife and the farmers
daughter and daughters of every
day laborers. who are glad to go in
the fields at hay-making and harvest
For he
ing the busy periods when labor is
scarce, is nearly on a par with
that paid to the stronger sex, and
even much more than the factory sis
ters receive in the cities, besides CIV
ing them the opportunity of working
In the open air instead of a poor un-
ventilated factory, receiving besides
the good dinners that are served by
the farmers in those localities, with
fresh milk and butter, friend chicken
and ham, good waffies and pies.
Are the manifold duties on the
farm too strenuous? The average
farmwife. who loves to go in the
field for a change. says she prefers
this work to that of chambermaid
In a large hotel, who works from

wash dishes all day long in a city
mansion.
However, farm work is not all so
hard as plowing. The self-binder al

farmers son would be able to do It.

PosterIty to obtain Records.

We are told that the Modern His
toric Records association has formed
novel plan of delivering messages
for It's members to their descendants
100 years from now. Two envelopes
OF durable Japanese vellum have been
sent to each member, with the request
that genealogical memoranda, mes
sages and photographs be inclosed.
The sealed envelopes will be de-
posted In leadlined steel chests. One
will be stored with the associations

library. A copperplate inscription
will direct that the chest be opened in

The second chest will be put In a

With all this open air work on the
farm, woman is becoming the real
Queen of the Farm. The public
schools begin to teach agriculture,
state experiment stations send out
bulletins giving to them easy meth
ods of study. how to train to become
real handy on the farm, either as
wife. daughter or helper. SO that we
have In Pennsylvania. as well as
other eastern states, modern women
gardeners. managers of dairy farms,
owners of poultry farms and apinyies,
besides showing an equal interest in
the method of marketing farm prod
ucts. sowing good seed and applying
the proper fertilizer, according to
modern soil surveys. which tell the
farmers Just what is lacking on his
own farm.
The modern farmers wife does not
think her household duties a drudg-
cry any more. Her better half has
seen that the day is at hand for bet
ter conditions. so he has installed a
modern heating system In the farm
house. bath rooms and first-class laun-
deries. The kitchen is remodeled and
equipped In the best sanitary way
and instead of standing at the old
colonial table working butter into the
old-fashioned forms, she has the
cream separator or the community
creamery, either to make the work
easier. or eliminate 1t altogether.
Modern methods and better schools
in rural districts have given us the
'Farmerettes." They are not only
Queens If their husbands farms, but
they are sole ruler over their own
farms. Pennsylvania has large num-
ber OF women farmers, who not only
do real farm work, but who manage
hundreds Of acres OF land that the
same are scientifically titled and
managed on business-like system

woman farmer In this state has so
elevated the dairy end of her farm
work that she is now doing flourish

up l. bottles and stamped certified

Then. there are half a dozen wom-
en- farmers in one Pennsylvania coun-
ty who have made a remarkable sue
cess with growing small fruit; an
other has managed a peach farm. and
still another uses all the milk OF ten
cows to make "a certain kind of
cheese, which is sold In eastern cities
under the name OF cup cheese" and
the demand has been SO enormous
that she paved the way to success for
half a dozen other worthy competi-
tors who are all making money.

that the sounds represent minute
