'LaxativeS

or the many laxatives on the mar
ket, most merely clear the intestinal
tract, but do not release the damned
up Bile, which is the great poison
destroyer of the body.
To relieve such trouble as bad
breath, headache, dizziness, loss of
appetite, constipation, biliousness, you
must release the dammed-up Bile.
Merely washing out the intestines
with salts, mineral waters, oils and
other mollycoddle laxatives will not
release the Bile.
Podophylln is the one perfect and
harmless substitute for colonel, but
its bitter taste and gripping, nauseat-
ing effects made it unpopular.
PcDoLax Releases the Bile.
For years chemists have been try
ing to take the bitterness, grippe and
nausea out of Podophyllin, recogniz-
ing that it would then be the ideal
Liver regulator. At last this has been
done and given to the world under the
name of PoDoLax.
PoDoLax is a Podophyllin formula
with all undesirable features taken
out. PoDoLax is for every member
fthe family-young or old. 1t should
be in every medicine cabinet You
will thank us for explaining it after
you have tried it. Get abottle today
and use it as soon as you notice

EXPENSE or RAISING
COW FOR DAIRY HERD
Tests Show Farmer Cannot
Afford to Raise Heifer Calf
Worth Less Than $50.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April C.-Ac-
cording to Investigators in the de-
partment of agriculture. the average
net cost Of raising dairy heifer one
year old on a Wisconsin farm is
1882 and of two year heifer SCI Al
These figures are applicable to other
dairy districts in the north and east
where land and feed values are SINH
lar to those in Wisconsin.
They are based on date obtained
from raising III calves from birth to
the time they enter dairy herd. The
details, with a complete summary of
the investigation, have recently been
published by the department of agri-
culture in Bulletin No. 40, under the
title of The Cost of Raising a Dairy
Cow
81 Million Cows.
There are in the United States over
81 5000 dairy COWS These figures
give some idea Of the importance of
this economic problem to the country
as a whole, for these COWS must be re-
placed every Ave years. The cost of
the production of these heifers is
large item in keeping down the profits
Of the dairyman.
The new bulletin contains numerous
tables and several illustrations of Jer-
sey calves from which the items of
cost were obtained.
The most important item was the
cost of feed, which was estimated at
market value and amounted to nearly
two-thirds of the total net cost of the

may De sure he is the pride of the
burleson family. Then there are two
younger daughters, Lucy and Sidney

school.
Inc former plays the violin and the
latter Is an accomplished pianist.
They speak French and German.
Moreover, they are both splendid
'horsemen" and swimmers. Besides.
they are studying art and domestic
sclence-a rather queer combination.
don't you think, but sensible?
indeed the Burleson girls are all
round, self-reliant, versatile young la :
dies. They have lived much of the
time on the plantation in Texas.
There they learned to catch, bride
and saddle their own ponies, went
fox and coon hunting and enjoyed
many long tramps over the plains
and mountains.

about eighteen years old, was pretty

years, but is now enjoying good

of music.
Joseph, the sixteen-year- son. Is

figuring out such a scheme?

AZ course every child - especially
u every city child-is interested in
cows. And you, no doubt, stood
In open-mouth wonder before the first
cow you ever saw. But what would
you think If you beheld COW no taller
than you are, a regular toy COW in ap-
pearance? There are such COWS
though not many-in this country.
And they are real cows, too, that

Some one has aptlY called them vest

compared to the ordinary run of cows.
Their real names however, is Dexters.
This diminutive breed of cows stand
two inches less than a yard in height,
measuring from the top of the shoul-
der to the ground. And from the shoul-
der to the tip of the tail they measure
but two inches more than a yard.
Their average girth behind the shoul-
der is not quite a yard and half.
But these little fellows often weigh as
much as four hundred pounds; so you
can readily see they could scarcely
be considered toys or carried in a
mans vest-pocket.
These Dexters are not freaks, but
useful cows. They give tremendous

quantity of milk each day, and are
extremely hardy, being absolutely i'm
mune to the form of tuberculosis with
which so many cows are infected.
This latter trait is explained, it is said.
by the fact that for SO many years
the breed was developed in the wild
hills and mountains of Ireland and.
hence, compelled to forage their own
food in all kinds of weather. Thus.
as the years went on, the Weddings
in each herd were unable to stand
the hard life and only the ones with
sturdy constitutions survived.
There are only five herds of these
little fellows in the United States. One.
which numbers ten, is owned by Mrs.

ent Accordingly "Wally" proceeded
methodically to remove the unsightli-
ness with water from the hole. The
water was cold. to be sure. but that
spot must go-that was certain.
'Wally'' must keep his equipage in
the best of condition.
Well, as it so often happens, little
boys are very apt to go too far in
doing what they deem necessary for
their peace of mind, and they often
lose their balance in the doing of it.
So with "Wally." He fell into the hole.
Meanwhile the boys were skating at
the other end of the lake, Barth a lit
tie removed from the rest. feeling ex-
lied because he did no fancy skating.
Felix had just joined the bunch. He
happened to turn around to see If
"Wally" had gone home and caused
the other boys to cease their figure
cutting with a shout:
"Ow. Just look at that kid! Right
on the edge of the hole!'
"And look!" exclaimed Park, "if he
isn't dipping water out of itt'
stop him, for heavens sake!"
yelled Edwin, almost frantic with
fright; and soon half a dozen pairs
of skates were ringing across the Ice.
But they were hardly started before
slim figure darted past them with
long. easy strokes. 1t was Barth
Dearing.
without breaking the time of his
strokes, Barth skated with remarka-
BILE speed, yet seemingly without the
least exertion. He soon far outdis-
tanced the boys. But before he
reached the hole he was. shocked to
see "Wally" topple over into the
water. He increased his speed and
drew up at the edge with a sharp
brake, cutting the ice with his left
heel. Into the hole he leaped, grab
bed ''Wally" and then struggled to
keep afloat The other boys soon ar
rived and pulled them out.
When it was all over and the boys
were assembled in "Wally's" room,
where he and Barth had been taken
to dry out" Edwin had the thought
fulness to apologize for taunting Barth
about skating.
"Oh, that's all right" replied Barth.
you see, 1t isn't the tricks that count.
Now if we had skated backward to
the hole 'Wally' would never have
seen his sled again"
HE who skates best laughs last"
said Felix, and everyone had good
laugh together.
Here "Wally" spoke up to ask If
his sled was all right and if the mud
was off. Being assured favorably on
these matters, "Wally" hastened to
announce to his rescuer:
"Barsh I'm never going to let any
one pull me but you"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-18

anything except out of a bottle. More
than that. he is very particular that
the bottle be clean. Often, when
filled with water that contains a sedi-
ment. he will hold the bottle up to
the light and straightway rinse and
wash 1t in running water until it is
thoroughly clean: then he will fill it
and drink.
And just think of a stag playing
golf! Oh. no, of course he doesn't
use clubs and have '"caddy" follow
ing him about. But he does select
pine cone. push it into place on a
little hillock in the ground and then
stand back and--suddenly-st it
with his nose or kick it with his front
foot, sending 1t flying through the
air. He follows it up straightway and
either sets 1t up again or brings 1t
back to the original hillock.
