Some months after seeing your ad in the
daily papers about the scientifically pre-

ties, and being driven almost to despair over
my plight, l skeptically resolved to give
Grape-Nuts a trial as last resort. And l

From my first meal of Grape-Nuts felt 4

the nervousness disappeared

cream three times a day and have gained

questions and give advice FREE OF

When going into a building project
there are three considerations OF i'm
portance that present themselves. In
the hrst place there is the design or
outward appearance of the structure.
next the arrangement OF the dwelling
inside for comfort and convenience,
and last the cost of the building
There is apt to be a wide range Of
choice in regard to the first factor
the design or outward appearance of
the house. This is a matter to be de-
cided according to the taste of the
owner and the requirements OF the
building site. 1t is proyerbial that
tastes differ widely, so there can be
no definite fixed requirements along
that line. Also the needs of different
locations vary greatly. 1t has been
said that we plan the outside of our
houses to please the neighbors, or to
make a brave show from the street.
Accordingly this first factor, that of
outward appearance, may at times be
of very little real importance. although
OF course everyone would prefer to
live in as attractive a dwelling place
as possible
All things considered. the interior of
a residence is far more important than
the exterior Real satisfaction in
home comes from the comfortable,
coy and inviting features OF the living
room; the bright cheerfulness of the
dining room, and the conveniences
provided not only in the kitchen and
pantry, but also in the other parts of
the house. 1t matters little what the
outside appearance is-granted OF

Cut into short lengths-one-fourth to

Pour boiling water over and allow to

hay with the mash. The hay may con-
stitute about one half the bulk of the
mixture; the exact proportion is not
important. Glover hay is best, but any
kind is valuable.

A WARNING WoRTH NEEDING

When young men give themselves up
to fast life they have little idea Of
thu horrible desolation and agony that
exists at the further end. When they
come to face the results of their mis-
doing, either in prison or before the
gallows, sometimes they seek to warn
other young men Of the consequences
of such a life Here comes Porter Char
Ian who mas been returned to Italy to
ne tried for the crime of numbering his
wife on Lake Como, and he utters this
warning:
Young men Of America do not know
what life is worth and never seem to
realize its possibilities until they have
lost the opportunity to find out. I"
Wine, women, fast company, reck-
lessness of reputation and character,
all lead to deeds of the gravest import.
The young man is fool who thinks he
can play that game and enter into a
conspiracy against society and win any
thing but infamy at the end. = Governor
Hoard.

OBJ eEAurnuL wIscoNsIN


If VIC had but one more year TO live,
we believe that we would ask to stay
in Wisconsin. As we look out now up
on the green and gold of rich grass
land and plentiful harvest here and all
over the upper Mississippi Valley. it
seems as though this must be the best
Of earth. At any rate, it cannot be
out-rivaled.
Go to any of our souHties, breathe
the pure air, drink tine refreshing wa
ter, and see the comfortable homes,
big barns and herds of cattle, listen to
the hum of the mower as it cuts three
tons Of grass TO the acre, gaze on the
fields of corn, barley and oats, and if the
scene does not appeal to you as the
garden spot of the universe, then you
are not to be charmed by the richest
blessings nature ever bestowed upon
a country We cannot all live in Wis
consin, nor all in luxury, or in marble
halls, but there is yet room for thous-
ands in this good old state where health
makes happiness and happiness riches.
The great west may boast Of her
opportunities, the Alberta country of
her wavin fields of wheat, the Dakotas
of their fertile prairies, but there is
not in any, all of the blessings found
in Wisconsin, state that has prOduc-
ed it's hundreds of millions in forestry
and ore, state unequalled for its
natural water powers, and better than
all, state that still awaits its soil de-
velopment to make it one of the great
est wealth producers of any on the
map.
Some of US are not satisfied, but it
is only because we are not well inform
ed about the relative values and oppor-
tunities to be found here and in other
sections of America Those who have
tried to find a better locality, and know
whereof they speak, declare that there
is no better to be found, all things con-
sidered. Wisconsin Agriculturist.
