License Needed to Get Water.

While bordering over the respective de-

Their only baby Is not very strong ana
the doctor has recommended cure OF
hot salt water baths.

the beach for a couple of pals Of sea
water. Jean had just dipped a paii into
the sea when a heavy hand oescenoeo on
his shoulder. and Wnere is your "

Jean. Yes, your license repeated the

Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. It is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as un-
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the COWS all
over two or three times year. The TANKS
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to cleaR the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
ODer1 With q Mild
Lnr1fipe Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
nondent 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
iuices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by
nIenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain. that state of con-
situation should always be avoided as
If is dangerous to life and health. The
hest plan is to take mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they 40
but temporary good and are so narsn
as to be a shock to delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing. is to take gentle laxatlVe-tonlc
like Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsln,
which acts as nearly like nature as Is
possible. In fact, the tendency OF this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among them

Making Military Preparations,

Geneva, Switzerland.-The Italian
government has joined the remainder
of the European continental powers
in making military preparations. It
has increased the Italian garrisons
along the Swiss frontier, and military
engineers are engaged in building new
forts. Chambers for mines have been
excavated at the Italian entrance to
the great Simplon tunnel, and these
have been fitted with secret electrical
connections, so that by pressing but
ton 20 miles away the tunnel can be
shattered.
