Fruit instead Of Grain.

Much more food can be grown on
an acre devoted to fruit than can be
produced with any kind OF grain.
Fruit growing also provides a greater
amount OF work and requires larger
number OF helpers, to the extent that
II fruit-growing is substituted for
grain growing there will naturally be
an increase OF country farming popu-
lation. This is what is the most
needed to make land valuable.
The growing OF grain makes the
land poorer. especially where the
grain is sold. Where fruit is grown

Start Your Baby

Childhood on ForesfaIIS Future
Serious Diseases

We cannot all start life with the ad-
yantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage OF
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feeding
of a baby its tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes 1t the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing 1t great suffering
If the condition IL allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is. however, no occasion for
alarm. and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is TO
give the baby small dose or a mlld
laxative tonic. In the opinion OF a
great many people, among them sucn
welI-known persons as the parents OF
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy Is DR.. Caldwells syrup

baby of fiatulency collie when the doc

pleasant-tasting laxative, which every
person likes. 1t is mild, non-griping

digestants, pepsin.

SUPPORT FOR FLOWER STEM
Long Narrow Strip Of Metal Bent to
Form Groove and With Loops
Proves Satisfactory.

A device that provides artificial
stems for flowers has been patented
by a New York woman. A long mar
row strip of metal is bent to form a
groove and has several loops along It's
surface. These loops are designed to
encircle the real stem of the flower
and hold that stem in the groove.
The flower, therefore, is provided
with perfectly firm support, so that
It will stand erect in vase or bouquet
or in whatever form 1t is arranged
