Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity Is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With q Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain. that a state of con-
stipation should always be avoided as
It is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan Is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with eQ.al certainty 1t is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics.
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be a shock to delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that

IDEAL SOUTHERN FOWL
Indian Runner Most Profitable
Breed of Ducks.
Champion Layers Of Large, White
Eggs and Require but Little
Attention Outside of PIen-
tiful Supply of Water.

AS the Matching time approaches
special attention should be given the
hen and eggs. Duck eggs require more
moisture than hen eggs. We sprinkle
the eggs with tepid-warm water three
or four times during the hatch. They
should be sprinkled at least twice
during last ten days of incubation.
The shell of duck egg is porous. and
a lack of moisture will cause the shell
TO become brittle, and when this oc-
ours the inner membrane will become
tough and thus hinder the ducklIng
from getting out The water sprinkled
on the eggs will be converted into
steam by the heat of the hens body,
and thus soften the inner membrane,
SO when the eggs are due to hatch the
ducklings can easily liberate them
selves. Duckiings pip the eggs from
"a to As hours before they are ready
to leave the shell. The day they are
due to hatch the nest should be
watched closely in order to remove
the broken eggshells from the nest ev-
cry few hours. There is danger of
the empty shells slipping over the
ones not yet Matched and smothering
the ducklings.
If the young are properly Matched
they are very easy to raise, and if the
breeders are kept in good condition,

NEW METHOD TO SAVE TREES
ting Mass From Interior and
Insert Steel Brace.

The former method of working in
failing trees with cement was never
successful, for several reasons. One
was that the cement seldom IL ever
adhered to the wood, so the swaying
by the wind Of the tree very generally
made larger the treated crack be-
tween it and the wood.
Water penetrated beyond the filling
so the decay increased rather more
rapidly than before attempting a rem
edy.
The improved idea is in removing
from the interior all of the rotting
mass-there remains only a living
shell of sapwood and bark, and into
this cavity a steel brace is nicely in
serted and bolted in place.
The next important step is to cut
water-sheds-preventing any moisture
entering. These are deep grooves cut
about one inch inside the tdge and
opening out to the ground below. Ce-
ment is packed tightly into the
grooves, forming channel down
which the water flows.
The cavity is afterward wired
throughout thoroughly.
The cement is worked moist, and
built out in the trees shape Any
bark that is cut away for an inch or
two in order to prevent bruising as
the filling is in progress, will soon
cover the filled spot, so that a passer-
by can scarcely detect the wound at
all.
In very large cavities the opening
is covered by utilizing large strips of
zinc.

work in trees. for the place soon heals
