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. 1t 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 easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments 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 a 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 a year. The hanks
and udders are clipped every three four
weeks, so it is easy to clean 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
Open With a 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 state OF con-
stipation should always be avoided as
1t is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal 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 q shock to delicate system
A much better plan, and one that
thousands Of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle laxative tonic
Like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
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

WOULD CHECK EXPENDITURES
Senate Outlines Highway Bill Amend
ment Plan, Centerino Responsibility.

Denver-A tentative plan for
amendment of the House highway
commission bill that may satisfy all
parties has been outlined by the state
Senate Democratic subcommittee ap-
pointed to consider the bill. The COM
mittee, of which Senator John J. To
bin is chairman, was appointed by the
Senate Democratic conference In an
effort to unite all members of differ
net beliefs as to the best method OF
administering state road funds.
The committees plan is to have one
highway commissioner with a deputy.
The commissioner is to consult the va
rious county commissioners as to the
road appropriations to be made by the
state to each county, and then make
recommendation to an advisory board,
which is to consist of five members,
each from a different section of the
state.
The recommendation of the COM
missioner are to be approved by the
board and then by the governor. If
the board is not unanimous and dis
agree regarding an appropriation, the
commissioner report is to be made to
the governor, who is either to approve
the commissioners recommendation
or return it to the advisory board for
further consideration and adjustment
The governors approval of the com
missioner's distribution is to be final,
regardless of the boards approval or
disapproval. By such system the sub
committee believes 1t has provided a
check in all ways regarding the ex'
penditures of road funds, and yet con
centrated responsibility.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy.

Have you stopped to think Just
what ECONOMY" in baking really means
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little on the cost of the mate
rals-the flour. eggs. etc.-is economy
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder, and save Joe to 25c.
But both are wrong, For the real ecop-
omy-the economy that counts-consists In
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than Is saved IN
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond a doubt Is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
ite of millions of cooks. 1t absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-which in the end is the same thlhs
as economy.
Calumet is unfailing-it makes every
baking good-more tasty. more delicious,
more evenly rased-simply because IT, IS
not only pure and wholesome itself-bu
so uniform in quality that you can always
depend upon 1t. Two Worlds Pure Food
Expositions-one at Chicago in 1907. and
the other at Paris, France, in l9l2-haVe

WHITE CHRISTMAS
AT ADVENT CHURCH
Rector Reads Legend Upon Which the
Celebration With White Gifts
Is Based

What was characterized as one of the
most beautiful of the many white
Christmas celebrations throughout the
city yesterday was that of the Church
of the Advent Sunday school. The pro-
gramme was elaborate and everyone who
assisted in carrying it out seemed to feel
that the whole depended>up his or her
efforts to be successful. The programme
was as follows:
Professional hymn. Opening prayer and
creed. Responsive scripture reading.
Song. The Christmas Story, by the
beginners department, "A Legend OF
Cathay." by the rector 1.-the Christmas
Story-From st. Luke" primary depart
ment. Christ Was Once Little Baby,

The legend of Cathay. which explains
the meaning of the white Christmas"
is as follows;
This strange country is called Cathay,
and the ruler thereof is one Kublah
Khan mighty warrior, who by reason
of his strong will and trusty sword has
made himself lord of the whole land.
His government is both wise and Just,
and is administered to rich and poor
alike, without fear or favor. On the
Kings birthday the people observe what
is called the white feast, Then are the
King and his court assembled in a great
room of the palace, which is all whites
the floor of marble and the walls hung
with curtains of white silk. All are in
white apparel and they offer unto the
King white gifts to show that their love
and loyalty are without stain. The rich
bring to their lord pearls, carvings of
ivory, white chargers. and costly broid-
cred garments. The poor present white
pigeons and handfuls of rice. Nor doth
the great King regard one gift above
another, so long as all be white. And
so they keep the Kings birthday"

that the small towns and rural districts

not share her husbands belief that the

song that led to the armament of the
house of Abernethy and its attendant
garrison duty.
