NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, we're sleepless, nerv-
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. Ny
wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer" (Delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the haTmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention 10 new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made Il riSnt We liked
it and were free of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
eaapge-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
Many of our friends did not ike
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked it better than coffee
and were benefited by the change. .
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Greek, Mich. Read THE Road to
MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Posturl-must be well
boiled, 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. Made in the cup with hot water
no boiling. Sec and soc tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
| about the same.
There's Reason" for Postum.

The Password

At an eastern military academy the
night guard heard a noise. Halt!
Who goes there?" he called, in accord
ance with army regulations. 1t was
another student, bent on midnight
frolc, and he answered, Moses"
This frivolous and utter disregard
of military rule brought back the COM
mand, the guard probably suspecting
the others identity, Advance, Moses,
and give the Ten Commandments"

Water Supply for Cows,

Next to the grass the most impor-
tant thing that your cattle need while
on pasture is water Too many are
giving their COWS a drink morning
and night and letting them trust to
the ponds and sloughs during the
day time. The hot dry weather makes
it imperative that the COW have plen-
ty of fresh, clear, pure water.

Manure the Garden,

One place on the farm where it pays
to manure the land often and literally
is the garden and truck patch. This
should receive a liberal application
every year, for from this acre properly
managed and cultivated, more than
half the living for the family may be
produced

Make a Green for the Pius.

By all means make a creep for the
little pigs, a place where they can get
in to be fed where the larger hogs
cannot come. And while we are speak
ing of feeding young pigs let US not
forget that too much sloppy feed is
not good for them.

Care in Covering Seeds.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in covering seed properly. The ten
dency is to cover too deeply. Such
crops as onions, squash, parsnips and
lima beans push up the shells Of the
seed itself and find it difficult to force
their way through a very great depth
of earth after it is packed down by
rains.

Essentials Overlooked

Particular stress has been put upon
the value Of lime in all soils growing
clover and alfalfa, with the result that
many overlook other essentials and

Hogs as Soil Improvers.

We know of no cheaper, easier and
more profitable way to bring up the
soil than by making a field into a hog
pasture for two or three years. Il will
help matters along also if the grain is
fed to the hogs all over the field in,
stead of in one corner.

ATTITUDE
vEX|nC PROBLEM
VIEWS TAKEN OF MEAN.
ING OF PREMIER's SPEECH
OF PARLIAMENT.

Rome, Dec. 4.-Many members of
parliament consider that the statement
|of Premier Salandra in parliament to-
day in, which he advised that Italy
maintain its attitude of watchful and
armed neutrality and made reference
to what he termed the just aspirations
|of Italy, together with demonstration
by the members means that Italy is
now ready.
Deputy La Briola, a prominent mem
ber, summarized his opinion of the sit
ting by saying that "one word more
from Salandra would have meant a
declaration of war"
Others think that the phrase of the
premier regarding the aspirations of
Italy was misunderstood and that he
might instead have alluded to the ex-
fstence of an Italian and Austrian
agreement delimitating the Italian
frontier by the peaceful annexation Of
a portion of the province of Trent.
A few express the fear that Austria
may interpret today's events in parlia-
ment as a challenge.
A committee of deputies has been
formed and its members are endeavor-
Ing to induce their colleagues to refrain
from speaking on the premier's state
ment in order to give the vote of con-
fidence in the government greater So
lennity.

FAIL IN EFFORT
To AVERT STRIKE
Conference Between Miners
and Ohio Operators Is
Without Success

Cleveland O., Dec. 4.-The Joint con-
ference of miners and operators rep
resenting the eastern Ohio coal fields,
where fifteen thousand miners have
been on strike since April, today broke
off all negotiations toward the settle
ment of the strike and adjourned sine
die.
Neither operators nor miners would
recede from their previous demands
the miners asking AZ cents ton and
operators sticking to their offer of
44.61 cents.
That operators are considering the
adv:sability of operating their mines
on the open shop" became known
shortly after the conference adjourned.
At meeting here next Monday, 1t was
said the "open shop plan will be dis
cussed.
Favor Profit Sharing.
Chicago, Dec. 4.-That profit shar-
ing is correct economic theory as be-
tween employer and employe, and that
many of the demands of the ninety
eight western roads which are being
arbitrated here are based on this prin-
ciple, was emphatically stated on the
witness stand today by William s. Car
ter, president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen.
Carter's announcement of the ad-
vanced economic stand of the engine
men, coupled with the fact that they
are attempting to have an award en-
bodying it put into effect as a matter
of right, whereas at present it Is in eff
feet only by concessions, caused some
thing of thrill in the court room
where the hearings are being held
The requests for higher wages are
in the main based on the allegation Of
the increased productive efficiency Of
the railroads Larger locomotives on
lighter grades haul a larger tonnage
and the men claim share of the mon
ey saved by these economies.
Considerable of Carter's testimony
was devoted to technical dissertation,
replying to questions, of the reasons
for making the weight of an engine on
it's driving wheels the basis for COM
pensation as contemplated by the de-
mapds. This point is regarded by the
men as Of the highest Importance in
the arbitration hearing, as it forms the
