CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

1t is quite significant, the number Of
persons who get we'll of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about It,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-caffeine-in coffee is not present in
Postum, which is made of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago I was having SO
much trouble with my heart" writes
q lady in Washington, that at times
felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to specialist to have my heart
examined.
''The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something | had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
Il remembered that coffee always
eoured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart
So ! stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. have had no further
trouble since.
"A nelgnDor OF ours, an old man,
was 30 irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made 1t carefully according to direo-
tons.
HE drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
It to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee Is better than II
used to be, so she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead Of coffee"

Little June Marie's mother is very

even she draws the line.

Marie and her mother toiling along the

Marie was weeping aloud, struggling
and holding back, but her mother
dragged her firmly on over the road

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba 10 now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep.
TENDER %. The corn then was un.
touched by frost and 1t stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corn had developed, into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor

manifested ITSELF At the Brandon ex.
perimental farm this year several va
rieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.

corn can be produced, and the advan.
tages to be gained by so producing 1t,
should not It receive the serious at.

lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion Of many Ameri-
can farmers OF experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised, and Ia
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. II crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe
cially dairy stock are to be grown
why should not corn be one Of these
crops? In Ontario and In the United
States we find 1t forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat

profitable plant. In fact, since its In
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stocl
can be retained on the same amount
Of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean

FAMOUS RACERS PLAY
IN Big WAR GAME
Officials at Indianapolis Hear from
Drivers Who Expect to Take
to Track Again.

Indianapolis, Nov. 2L-Race drivers in
the European war are playing the game
with the same courageous optimism that
characteriZ their recent successful in
vasion of the 5O0-mile indianapolis sweep
stakes, letters received here from the
front would seem to indicate. Some OF
them are even making plans for the next
Hoosier contest.
Goux, winner OF the 1913 5O0-ulile race,
writes G. c. Fisher, pr sident Of the In
dianapolis motor speedway, as follows:
Il am in fine spirits after two months
OF war, and find the service very inter-
esting. Since the start OF the campaign,
we have taken advantage OF the bandits
of Germany. and now occupy a part of
AIsace, and our offensive advances all
the time. Unfortunately, the war may
last a long time. Should, however, l be
able TO get away b fore the 30th Of May,
l shall certainly do So"
In the same mail Goux wrote Johnnie

wanted 10 bet France would win. but had
no Dan Smiths indianapolis betting COM

Andre BOillot, brother Of Georges
Boillot. who ruled favorite for the last
HoOsier contest until put out by a broken
frame in the 18th lap. Is prone to take
an even more carefree view of the situ-
alton. He writes Aitkcn, whom he met
in Paris before the war, as follows:
Georges is still affected to Gen. Joffre,
and do exactly the same. We met each
other after two months of war, and are
still together. hope to keep SO md
OF the war. We are never on the front
but we go to see it scme times. What a
great sight to see the artillery killing the
Germans. There is good sport in France
just now, but, unhappily. no Chicken

Chicken" in the angy American
sense, proved great source of interest
to the foreigners on their last visit to
this country.
That the race drivers are not COM
pletcly free of danger. however, is shown
by further excerpts from BoiIlot's letter.

portant thing. But here is a man, who
started from obscure boyhood In the
stiIl more obscure town OF Damariscotta-
whose spirit was too large for the close
confines Of a Maine backwoods. town and
who started out all alone to carve his
fortune out Of the world: The fact tnat
he did It and how he did 1t is the thing
that counts.
Is Mr.. woodward the type Of cold busi-
ness man, wrapped up in the sole idea
OF making money and selling goods?
Those who know him know he is not. In
the civic life of Washington he has play
ed his part and played 1t well. It tsOat-
ural that a mans work should be his
hobby and so 1t is with Mr.. Woodward.
But he has another hobby which Is not
even second to his business hobby. That
is the YounS. Mems Christian Association.
Early in 1907 Mr.. Woodward went to the
Orient with the late John B. Sleman, OF
the Y. NJ. c. A., to attend the Worlds
Student Christian Federation at Tokyo,
Japan.
Even before this Mr. woodward's in
terest in the Y. NJ. c. a. and Its work
was intense, but his friendship with Mr..
Sleman and the keen knowledge Of the
fundamental principles OF the Y. n. c. A.
won him over for life. During the course
Of q number of years he has contributed
several hundred thousand dollars to the
Y NJ. C. A. and much of his time and
attention.
His Interests Broad.
Mr.. Woodward takes a lively interest
in questions relating to governmental and
social uplift the Red Cross and science
How he is capable OF deyoting so much
time to outside affairs is hard to con-
ceIve by any one who does not know the
huge amount OF energy that has made 1t
possible for him to mount, step by step.
the ladder Of a successful career.
But all through his life he has said lit
tie, preferring to let others do the talking,
like the strong man in Congress who is
heard but little, but who busies himself
night and day in the committee room
where the effective work is done.
In other words his success is due to the
popular 'Do-It-Now'' slogan, which Mr..
Woodward adopted in early manhood and
kept up. because 1t was the natural thing
for him to do. and also because he isn't
the kind who stops short of finishing any
thing he has started out to do.
Besides various business affiliations,
Mr.. woodward is a Shriner. which takes
